Coaching notes
- Experiment with even longer filter sweeps to further heighten the tension.
- Consider a brief percussive 'reset' after the 88-minute mark to emphasize the next melodic entry.
- Maintain the excellent use of phrase-aligned low-end swaps.
- Use subtle high-pass filter sweeps to create 'breathing room' in the mix.
- Experiment with slightly shorter overlaps to increase the sense of urgency.
- Incorporate more atmospheric field recordings or FX to enhance the 'World Tour' theme.
