The prompt
A serene ambient track with driving energy and a half-time feel at 123 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, swelling and cinematic. The arrangement follows a slow linear build. A lead synth leads, carrying the melody in long phrases. Reversed swells add texture, with a long plate reverb on the lead. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding atmospheric space and harmonic warmth, built on modal chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored. The measurements and classifications are automated estimates, so use them as a starting point and trust your ears.
