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

Create an ancient narrative music track representing music used for storytelling before written culture became dominant. Use a deep narrator-like vocal texture with invented syllables only, call-and-response humming, soft drums, primitive strings, flute fragments, and evening fire ambience. No real language, no lyrics, no modern instruments, no religious references. The music should feel like a story being carried by rhythm and voice, with tension, pauses, and emotional movement, but without becoming aggressive or cinematic in a modern way. Keep it ancient, human, oral, mysterious, and immersive.
