Asteroid Adventures Suspended Walkway (Fictional Scene)

Cue for an original fictional sci-fi scene: two survivors sprint across a suspended walkway that collapses beneath them. Goal: industrial, metallic tension that never resolves. Solution: glockenspiel, clean electric guitar, piano, bass and drums; polychord voicings, a chromatic run of diminished sevenths for the failing walkway, and alternating 5/8 and 7/8 bars, ending on a bare open fifth. MIDI mock-up from a hand-built score.
