Stone and Sea

[Intro]

[Instruments: Solo harp arpeggio in Dorian mode, distant drone, uilleann pipe or bowed string, faint ocean sounds, airy pads.]

[Vocals: non-lexical] “ahhh, ohhh” [chant, breathy and layered.]



---

 [Build 1]

[Instruments: Bodhrán heartbeat rhythm, strings swell, fiddle joins the harp melody, pads rise.]

[Vocals, whispered, airy, reverbed:]
“Stone and sea… carry me…”



---

[Drop 1, 1:40 – 2:30]

[Instruments:]

[Kick + sub-bass, EDM foundation.]

[Bagpipe-synth lead takes harp motif into euphoric range.]

[Harp arpeggios continue beneath.]

[Strings stab rhythmically, choirs soar.]


[Vocals, lightly layered, almost instrumental:]
“Stone and sea… carry me…” [echoed, repeated, stretched]



---

[Break]

[Instruments: Strip back to harp and ocean and soft flute line. Fiddle plays a mournful counter-melody]

[Vocals, gentle, floating, like an invocation]
“Through the waves… I return…”

[Slowly build with orchestral drums and swelling choir pads]



---

[Drop 2]

[Instruments:]

[Full EDM energy with kick and bass, layered bodhrán and war drums.]

[Fiddle and bagpipe-synth intertwine in a soaring melody.]

[Choirs chant vowel sounds] "ahh/ohh" [in rhythm, building grandeur.]

[Harp runs dance under the surface for brightness.]


[Vocals chant-like, ethereal, repeated]
“Stone and sea… carry me…”



---

[Outro]

[Instruments: Layers peel back — bagpipes fade, then drums, then bass. Left with harp, ocean, faint drone.]

[Final vocal, a cappella, breathy, intimate]
“Stone and sea… carry me…”

[Ends with flute sustaining a single note as it fades into silence]

EDM, strong celtic theme and melody, orchestral instrumentals, long breaks, soft female vocals.
