Tense Thriller Build for Countdown Scenes Track

A build with a clock in it. Repeated short figures stack up over the length of the track, the spacing tightens, and the low end thickens underneath until the whole thing feels like it is running out of time.

Written for countdowns, deadlines, bomb-disposal and hacking sequences, sports-style tension edits and quiz-show final rounds. The escalation is even enough that you can cut in at any point and still land the payoff.

It shares the eighty-nine beat pulse of the underscore alongside it, so the two cut together cleanly — run the underscore through the investigation and switch to this one when the clock starts.
