Coaching notes
- Experiment with brief, high-impact percussive fills to break the melodic hypnosis.
- Use a wider stereo image for the lead synths to enhance the cinematic feel.
- Consider a slightly more aggressive low-end swap to create a physical 'pop' at the drop.
- Continue to leverage long-form blends to maintain the hypnotic state.
- Experiment with subtle high-frequency modulation during breakdowns to add texture.
- Maintain the current balance between melodic hooks and driving percussion.
