0:00-0:34 Entry assembles the pulse

A low opening space gives way to distant percussion and drone. The section’s job is preparation: the track does not begin at full hold, but lets the pulse become legible before the main pattern settles.

0:34-1:34 Main pattern locks and voice enters

The rhythm becomes the stable floor. Around 0:53, chanted male vocal phrases enter over the drums, turning the groove from setup into the track’s central contract: pulse, drone, and voice held in repeated ritual form.

1:34-2:31 Return cycle sustains the frame

The music repeats rather than redirects. Vocal phrases withdraw and return, but the percussion keeps the same formal weight. This span proves that the song’s form is built from endurance and recurrence, not verse-chorus contrast.

2:31-3:16 Bridge thins and rebuilds

The density eases back into a more open passage. The pulse remains present, but the section withholds the chant and lets drone and percussion reset the field before the larger return gathers again.

3:16-4:33 Final held return gathers the contract again

The main rhythmic hold comes back and carries the longest sustained stretch. The voice returns late in the span, around 3:58, giving the closing cycle a renewed vocal marker without changing the underlying form.

4:33-4:52 Pattern loosens and drains out

The carried motion releases. Percussion and drone fall away through broken remnants into terminal silence, ending by withdrawal rather than a final cadential finish.
