Storm Before Dawn With Bright Held Tension

Nearly three minutes of bright, major-key atmospheric music at a quick internal pace, with very light percussion and a narrow dynamic range that holds its tension without releasing it.
For pre-storm and weather footage, anticipation sequences, documentary build-ups and dawn scenes. It waits rather than resolves, which suits picture that is about to change.
Two minutes forty-five at a hundred and twenty-nine beats per minute — the same tempo as two earlier tracks — in A# major, the same key as an earlier track — another double coincidence with two different sets of partners. The narrowest dynamic range in the entire album, closing it on held tension.
