  "voice_instruct": "A man in his mid-40s with a low, haunted voice. He speaks with the weight of someone who destroyed everything he loved and remembers every detail. Quiet authority that cracks into grief or barely-contained rage. Measured pacing with sudden intensity on key phrases. Think Leonard Cohen meets a war criminal giving final testimony. Not singing, rhythmic spoken-word with enough gravitas and pitch to feel musical.",
  "genre_prompt": "dark cinematic industrial, haunted male vocals, heavy atmospheric synths, crushing bass, Nine Inch Nails meets Leonard Cohen meets Godspeed You Black Emperor, C minor, 68 BPM, epic and apocalyptic, spoken-word over dark orchestral-electronic production",
