The prompt

A serene folk track blending ambient with driving energy and a half-time feel at 107 BPM. The low end is upright bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A grand piano leads, carrying the melody in long phrases. Analog hiss adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the lead. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on modal chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.
