   "about": "The dramatic \"dun dun duuun\": two short low brass hits and a long held one, with timpani under each, in a big hall. It uses the same notes as the famous shock sting (E-flat, C, then F-sharp), so it reads as drama right away. Use it for a reveal, a cliffhanger, or fake drama over something small. Make it longer to hold the last note. Made in code, so you can use it anywhere.",
