# Ocean Sailing — Beneath Sail v3 Take B2 (de-waved brass-band shanty, G mixolydian)

`ocean-sailing-v3b2` — levels: `calm.mp3` · `activity1.mp3` · `activity2.mp3` · `danger1.mp3` · `danger2.mp3`

De-waved brass-band shanty (Take B's winner) with a REWORKED danger to the OCEAN DANGER spec. KEEPS everything else exactly: the becalmed-deck bed (pitched swellPad cresting like the hull, a warm color pad, the sub on the chord roots, a deep soft-pad keel — NO waves, waterLap is gone from calm AND danger as SFX); the full brass-band ACTIVITY (a confident muted-brass cornet on the HORIZON lead + a soft-pluck echo for L1; L2 adds NEW material — a struckPiano counterline a fourth below PLUS a shaker-and-piano accompaniment, so layering assembles the band, not the lead louder); G mixolydian (the b7 F natural keeps each crest hungry); and the wardroom upright as struckPiano tone "bright" (a shanty wants articulation, not the old plucked feltPiano). THE DANGER (the rework): the dread is the band's OWN panic, abstract — never literal storm/wave foley. The whole danger section runs at ONE faster, urgent tempo (132 BPM vs the 100 BPM sail); the speed-up lands the instant danger begins. danger1 is an apprehensive MIRROR of activity1: the SAME muted-brass cornet trying to play its sailing tune while sensing something is off — the HORIZON contour SHADOWED into G aeolian (the b3=Bb and b6=Eb cast the bright crest into minor, the 'wrong-note' unease) and hesitantly phrased (the crest arrives a beat late, the resolution sags and the tail is a dropped fragment), threaded by a kick heartbeat in the tune's gaps over a held low dread drone. That aeolian shadow is the ONLY non- mixolydian color — a deliberate, NAMED clean modal turn (same tonic G), the grounded way to voice 'the tune gone tense,' not accidental chromaticism. danger2 is the REST of the band crashing in at full frantic: a double-time low-brass counterline/ostinato pumping the chord root on every eighth PLUS the full rhythm-section kit (driving kick on every beat, a snare backbeat, a busy shaker scurry) — a real density and energy JUMP that compels immediate action. The frantic comes from the fixed fast tempo plus the double-time rhythm (the engine holds one tempo per section), NOT from danger1 with the volume up — these are NEW voices doing a NEW job. No gong, no waves-on-the-bow booms, no spray.
