When the same rhythmic beat is played repeatedly over a long crescendo, during which the music goes from simple and quiet to loud, blaring and borderline cacophonous. Similar to Variable Mix. Sometimes used in as part of a Previews Pulse. Compare Broken Record, when the audio gets stuck in a loop. |

"Ewigkeit" from Tanz Der Vampire. note This was originally an instrumental piece called "Great Boleros of Fire," which was composed by Jim Steinman, and used to open Meat Loaf's concerts at the beginning of his popularity. It was given lyrics in the 1990s, and translated into German for Tanz Der Vampire. The English lyrics were then heard in the Broadway production. | |

Porgy and Bess has this in the last section of the often-cut Irrelevant Act Opener "Jasbo Brown Blues." The rhythmic melody in the Scatting chorus is accompanied at first only by the piano player. The orchestra enters gradually, the volume slowly builds, and the simple mixolydian harmonies have more and more notes added, becoming nightmarishly dissonant. | |

A particular favorite of the composers of the Mass Effect trilogy whenever the script calls for something grand and ceremonial or intense and heroic (which is often), such as parts of The End Run or An End, Once and for All. A common variant is for the initial beat to be gradually drowned out by the crescendo, only to return at the end, as in Spectre Induction and Stand Strong, Stand Together. | |

Rez's soundtrack best showcases this trope with Jojouka's "Rock Is Sponge", which starts with a hardcore techno kick drum and slowly adds secondary percussion instruments, bass drops, the vocodered Title Drop vocal, and a 303 acid line, then after a drum solo and Fake-Out Fade-Out, all of the instruments come together in full force, topped off by the guitar riff. | |

CHVRCHES: "Tether" slowly gets louder up until the minimal bridge. Then we hear some drumbeats that gradually get slower and distorted, and that's when the music launches into a loud, glorious harmony of synths. "Follow You" off their second album even more so. It starts with a simple drum rhythm and pads, then melodies and distortions and finally drops off after the climax with a vocal-only outro. |

The first 6 minutes (of the total 9) of To the Unknown Man by Vangelis. It consists of a simple synth tune with increasing variations, and more and more instruments added in time.

Some subgenres of Trance and House Music, such as Progressive House/Trance and Deep House are built off this trope, with songs often starting as extremely simplistic drum loops and building up until the climax into dynamic, "fuller" songs where all the leads, bass, pads, and percussion come together. | |

Much of Klaus Schulze's material from The '70s, particularly the triptych of Picture Music, Timewind, and Moondawn, follows this trope, starting with an ostinato comprised of one or two synthesizer leads and progressively adding further layers of synth, organ, sound effects, and percussion. Appropriately, many consider him a forefather to the aforementioned trance genre. | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto has "Akogare no Dante", where a bunch of schoolboys, starting with Cesare Borgia (yes, that one), sing about how much they love Dante Alighieri. It ends with Dante himself appearing in a vision (he's been dead for about 170 years), and belting out "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!" Of course, it's also a Deathly Dies Irae, with a 1970's-esque beat that's actually very engaging. And catchy. | |

The opening theme to Inception is basically this. Interestingly, this is due to the way it was composed, which was essentially to take 'Non, je ne regrette rien' by Édith Piaf and slow it down by a factor of 12, so that the ordinary repetition associated with music was turned into this trope. | |
