// AGENCY OST — 07 · The All-Nighter
// 3 AM rebuild. Dub techno with a future-garage drift; deep focus in a dark room.
// The office clock from "Ticket Queue" ticks on, quieter now.
//
// FORM (120 BPM · 1 cycle = 1 bar · 72 bars ≈ 2:24 · loops):
// intro 8 e1 vinyl crackle + washed chord echoes + breathing sub
// groove 16 e2 + soft four-on-floor, shuffled hats, walking sub
// deep 16 e3 + bell motif call-and-response, chords open
// drift 8 e2 kick out — 2-step ghost, bells trail off into delay
// return 16 e3 kick back, all layers, the work resumes
// dawn 8 e1 chords brighten toward A major, crackle fades, tick remains
// hook: the bell motif — sparse, half-asleep, always answered late.
