Unanswered Ritual

"A highly dynamic 90-second gothic horror track. Part 1: The Approach (0:00 - 0:30) Begin with a sparse, high-register piano melody and the sound of creaking doors. Introduce haunting, wordless female vocalizations; a sorrowful, distant 'hmmm' and 'aaaa' lament, like an ancient chant. Build an atmosphere of uneasy, claustrophobic dread. Part 2: The Climax (0:31 - 0:70) Build tension fast. A detuned, heavy pipe organ enters with dissonant chords. Add ghostly waterphone wails. The 'aaaa' vocals become louder and more desperate, swelling with the music to a terrifying, emotional peak. Include a sudden, jarring, bone-rattling percussive hit for a jump scare. Part 3: The Lingering (0:71 - 0:90) Sudden silence. Then, end with only the sound of a creepy, fractured music box and one final, fading 'ooooo' vocal whisper. The track stops abruptly, leaving a feeling of unresolved terror.
