Suno prompt

A triumphant ambient track with high energy and a half-time feel at 154 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a rimshot-forward snare and shimmering open hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, arpeggiated. The arrangement follows loop-based with dynamic drops. A lead synth leads, building through repetition. Granular shimmer adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the lead. Mixed in a open and dynamic style, foregrounding melodic lead and low-end weight, built on lush ninth and eleventh chords, leaving a euphoric and open atmosphere.

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