Present Tense

These notes describe the production brief. Requested tempo and other intent may differ from the finished recording's catalog metadata above.

A compact 118 BPM downtempo electro-breakbeat song in A major, with a half-time pocket, muted piano, warm bass, sparse metal percussion, subtle scratches, and clipped vocal replies.

Reflective and grounded, the quiet resolution works well in late-night, recovery, or lower-intensity electronic programming.
