The prompt

A serene cinematic orchestral track with high energy and a half-time feel at 88 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a rimshot-forward snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, arpeggiated. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A plucked acoustic guitar leads, carrying the melody in long phrases. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a short room reverb on the lead. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding percussive detail and melodic lead, built on extended seventh chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.
