  Audio Transcript

  Slow piano notes with a low, deep undertone. Tempo increases with a harmony of high piano notes and low, rhythmic notes. Layers are created within the composition, featuring high, fast, and harmonic melodies and occasional deeper notes. Tempo increases and the layered sound effects continue. Tempo decreases and the composition concludes with slower layering of high and deep notes. A single high note promptly ends the piece.
