Prompt

A 10-second notification storm that dissolves into one long breath in D. Frame 0 fires an alert stack: five different notifications at once over a tense pulse. For four seconds, UI sounds pile up faster and faster at 100 BPM. There are two-tone FM chimes, quick tri-tone alerts, bubble "message" pops, rattling phone vibrations and rapid keyboard ticks, all in clashing keys and scattered across the stereo field, over a low throb that speeds from eighths to sixteenths. At frame 120 (4.0 s) every notification mutes within 3 ms. What follows is a single slow swell, like a long inhale and exhale: shaped noise through resonators tuned to D (D, A, D, F#, A, plus a soft mono D sine). A broad filter opens as the breath fills, peaks near 7 s, then closes and sighs to silence by 10 s.

  • Frame 0: alert stack
  • Frame 120: notifications mute / breath begins

Storm (0-4 s): Poisson-timed notifications accelerating from ~7/s to ~30/s, made of two-tone additive glass chimes, tri-tone triangle alerts (major, diminished and quartal shapes), pitch-swept bubble pops, 165 Hz phone-vibrate buzzes with a rattle, and SVF 'sent' swooshes, in clashing keys over a mono low throb that doubles from 8ths to 16ths. At f120 the storm bus closes with a 3 ms raised-cosine fade ending on the cue sample. The breath (4-10 s) is one inhale/exhale envelope (peak 7 s) on decorrelated noise through narrow resonators at D3, A3, D4, F#4, A4, D5 and A5, plus an SVF 'mouth' band-pass that opens and closes with the breath, a faint air band and a soft mono D2 sine. Everything under ~200 Hz is kept mono.
