Coaching notes
- Experiment with brief, high-contrast melodic elements to make the return to industrial noise even more impactful.
- Utilize more extreme stereo width automation on vocal loops to create a disorienting effect in large spaces.
- Consider a 'fake-out' drop to play with crowd expectations during the legacy segments.
