# Better Tomorrow candidate prompts

Hypothesis: preserve Open Sky’s hopeful liquid DnB energy while reducing foreground melodic density, harsh percussion and section resets. Initial plan: six candidates screened for energy continuity and five selected. Final workflow: three replacement candidates added, then long low-energy stretches edited; six source tracks retained for the 15-minute session. Technical screening does not replace listening.
