The prompt is preserved verbatim as part of the documented artifact.

Create an ancient vocal-based track representing the moment before music became song. Use human breathing, soft humming, whispered invented syllables, low throat-like resonance, and distant group responses. No real language, no religious words, no modern instruments, no beat drop. The rhythm should come from breath, heartbeat-like pulses, and natural pauses. The atmosphere should feel intimate, prehistoric, and sacred in a universal human sense, but not tied to any specific religion or culture. Make it feel like humanity discovering melody through the voice for the first time.
