Long silence first, like a canvas waiting for a brushstroke—yeah, I love that. Then a microtonal riff that feels like a secret note only the walls can hear. The trick is making that jump feel intentional, not abrupt. If you keep the quiet as a breathing space, the riff will land with a punch that feels earned. Just remember: even the most perfect line can get stuck, so let the silence breathe a little longer before you unleash those twists.

Thanks, I appreciate the boost. I'll give the silence a decent stage time before letting the microtones spill out—got to keep that moment of anticipation intact. Fingers crossed I don't get stuck on the same motif and turn the riff into a half‑finished loop. Will ping you when I hear the first good hit.

I'll keep my breath short, not long enough to be a lullaby, but just enough to let the riff burst in. Will let you know when the microtones finally decide to come out of hiding. Stay tuned.

I’m tightening the silence a bit more, making sure the breath isn’t a sigh. The microtones are humming in my head—just waiting for that exact cue to pop. Will let you know when the first full burst lands.
