Podcast Ambient Bed: tense and suspenseful jazz fusion Under Australian laid-back male surfer VO

You are producing a full podcast / content audio bed. The deliverable is a three-part spec: the music bed, the VO script, and the mixing notes for layering them together.

## Brief
- **Genre of bed:** jazz fusion
- **Mood:** tense and suspenseful
- **Voice over:** Australian laid-back male surfer
- **Intended length:** 2 minutes
- **Final use:** film trailer sting
- **Ambient SFX accent:** crowd cheering in stadium (subtle, once or twice)

## Why a "bed" is different from a standalone track
An ambient bed must:
- Leave 2-4 kHz clean (the vocal intelligibility band) — so no busy mid-range synths or competing vocals.
- Have a tonally static center with gentle motion on the edges (sidechain-style breathing, not drops).
- Avoid drops and transients that compete with VO sentence boundaries.
- Loop cleanly or evolve gently across 2 minutes without structural surprises.

## Part A — Music Bed Prompt (for Suno / Udio / Stable Audio)
Provide a prompt in this format:

**Style tags** (8-12):
`jazz fusion, instrumental, ambient, [3-4 low-mid instruments], [no drums or soft pulse], [2 mood tags — tense and suspenseful], 85 bpm, loopable`

**Title:** (instrumental beds get functional titles like "Deep Focus Bed 01")

**Structure:**
```
[Intro: soft pad enters]
[Bed: sustained across 2 minutes]
[Outro: soft pad fades]
```

Explicitly instruct "no vocals", "no drops", "no sudden transitions".

## Part B — VO Script Direction (for ElevenLabs / recording)
Provide:
- A sample 60-word opening paragraph written for a Australian laid-back male surfer delivering a tense and suspenseful-adjacent tone.
- Punctuation pacing notes.
- A callout for the crowd cheering in stadium — where it drops in (e.g., "after the word 'silence', let the crowd cheering in stadium play for 2 seconds before VO resumes").

## Part C — Mixing Notes
Provide a short mix plan:
1. **Bed level:** -22 LUFS integrated when VO is present, -18 LUFS in VO gaps.
2. **Sidechain / ducking:** 3-6 dB ducking triggered by VO RMS, 80ms attack, 200ms release.
3. **EQ on bed:** 4 dB cut around 2.5 kHz (creates vocal pocket); gentle high shelf boost at 10 kHz for air.
4. **VO chain:** high-pass at 80 Hz, de-esser at 6 kHz, 2:1 compression with 3-4 dB GR, subtle plate reverb at 10% wet.
5. **Master bus:** limiter to -14 LUFS short-term for podcast platforms, or -16 LUFS for YouTube.

## Output Structure
Return three labeled blocks:

**BLOCK 1: MUSIC GENERATOR PROMPT** (paste into Suno/Udio/Stable Audio)

**BLOCK 2: VO SCRIPT + VOICE SETTINGS** (paste into ElevenLabs)

**BLOCK 3: DAW MIX TEMPLATE** (plain English, implementable in any DAW)

## Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not ask the music generator for "epic" bed music — film trailer sting needs restraint.
- Do not stack 2+ SFX layers over VO — one accent max.
- Do not leave bed at full level — ducking is non-negotiable for intelligibility.
- Do not use a Australian laid-back male surfer with heavy stylization over a busy genre bed; match energy carefully.
