kennethreitz fe8efa72be Ghost Protocol: Portishead intro → Strobe build, NES emotional peak
Rewritten from scratch with Strobe philosophy:
- Portishead dark Rhodes + trip-hop beat (bars 1-32)
- Hypnotic saw arp emerges, grows imperceptibly (bars 17+)
- No kick until bar 49 — the patient build IS the point
- NES square wave melody at the emotional peak (bars 65-96)
- Pluck stabs for the peak energy
- 128 bars (~6 min), filter sweeps across entire track
- Everything dissolves back to silence

kennethreitz 58c7497ab5 Track 4: Ghost Protocol — progressive house, dark to euphoric
F minor → Ab major, 128 BPM. deadmau5-style structure:
- Intro: kick + filtered supersaw pad
- Build 1: saw bass, hypnotic 16th note lead, offbeat hats
- Breakdown: kick drops, melodic lead, noise riser
- Drop 1: dark and driving, pluck stabs, full energy
- Breakdown 2: emotional turn from minor to major
- Drop 2: euphoric Ab major, everything opens
- Outro: filtering down, kick rides out, dissolves
