Suno prompt

A serene ambient track with steady energy and a half-time feel at 133 BPM. The low end is fretless bass playing root-note anchored, under a brushed jazz kit with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, swelling and cinematic. The arrangement follows loop-based with dynamic drops. 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 lush ninth and eleventh chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
