# Ice Glasshall (Take B) — the resonant gallery, A-lydian bell canon

`ice-glasshall-v3b` — levels: `calm.mp3` · `activity1.mp3` · `activity2.mp3` · `danger1.mp3` · `danger2.mp3`

Take B is a genuinely DISTINCT second reading of ice-glasshall (A lydian): where the hush could be a single near-static thread, this reads the glass HALL as a RESONANT ARCHITECTURE — voices answering across a reverberant gallery — via three departures. (1) Instrumentation: the bed gains a sustained glassArmonica RIM-TONE over the translucent softPad pair (the hall itself ringing), the lead VOICE is the glassBell stating the FOXFIRE glint, and the caveCelesta is its SIXTH-ABOVE answer (transposeDegrees(+5)) — a true bell-celesta canon, 'light through ice', not one line with a trail. The piano is the corrections' struckPiano with tone BRIGHTEST (never feltPiano; brightest = a glassy, articulate ice-piano, NOT a warm one — it doubles the bell an octave down for body without warming the glints). (2) Structure: a breathing I-II-vi-V lydian turn that rings out as harmony, with the #4 (D#) used as a glint in the II chord, not a hook. (3) Danger tempo. NO breath-fog noise bed (airPad dropped per the correction); the only noise is the struck icefall crackTick one-shots. Activity L1 (ch4-5) = the glassBell glint answered a sixth above by the celesta (the canon). Activity L2 (ch6-7) ADDS NEW material, not volume: the struckPiano doubling the glint an octave down (body/floor) AND a descending celesta 'falling-light' arpeggio under the canon. Danger is ENCOUNTER music, abstract: danger1 (ch8-9) is the glint gone apprehensive — a wary LOWER glassBell phrase over one long PITCH-BENT darkDrone groan (a downward portamento on the looped drone — the physical creak, not a harmonic gesture) plus a lone far icefall crack; real material, the player senses the hall deciding whether to hold. Danger2 (ch10-11) takes the strong reusable shape — the full ensemble crashing in at a FASTER danger-SECTION tempo (88 BPM, a genuine intensity jump): overlapping NEARER pitch-bent groans on a driving iceCreak low pulse (bending wider) + clustering icefall crackTicks tightening into the wrap. Dread by density and the bent-pitch groan — never a literal cave-in foley, never danger1 with the fader up. Fully diatonic A lydian; no chromaticism.
