0:00-1:12 Pulse seed

• The piece begins by establishing a simple repeated figure.
• Structure depends on patience: the first job is to make the clock audible.

1:12-2:45 Layering ascent

• New weight enters gradually, not as a sudden turn.
• Each layer makes the same harmonic path feel more consequential.

2:45-4:28 Full rise

• The central ascent gathers percussion, low force, and broad harmony.
• The form is a long ramp; the drama comes from refusing shortcuts.

4:28-5:30 Release

• The peak gives way to a thinned return of the opening logic.
• The close lets time continue after the force has drained.
