Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening [NDC,w40]
This minimalist track centers around cut and looped trumpet phrases layered over a sparse, syncopated electronic beat, Percussion remains minimal and textured, with subtle pulsating synths for atmosphere, Space and repetition drive the tension, letting each trumpet fragment breathe

Lyrics
*Reimagination of the Poem by Robert Frost*
Intro – [instrumental]
(A breath of stillness, faint ticking like cracks in time.)
Verse 1
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow
In stillness where the hours slow.
Pre-Chorus
My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near.
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year
A crack in time begins to wake.
Chorus
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake
Through stillness where the moments break.
Sonic Interlude
(Clock chimes fracture, echoing like cracks in time through the silence.)
Outro
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep,
Through stillness where the echoes climb—
And miles to go through cracks in time
