COSMIC KNOT

Experimental post-hardcore and math-rock, words and brief by oASTEROIDo: a knot held in a calm field. It floats, weightless, for its whole first half, a clean guitar wash in sevens, a soft voice singing through it, the strain buried under it, and nothing heavy plays, not one drum. Then one hard cut: tapped guitars, a broken beat, the voice a fifth up and overdriven, and the impact. Then it floats again, thin and hollow, with no way back. Jev holds the fuse: when the bridge ends it decides whether the edge comes now or the float holds one more breath first, and it sets how much of the hidden strain shows. A cartoon dog says "This is fine" just before it breaks. 96 bars at 126 bpm as written, 104 if Jev holds.

  • SPEC.md — what the song must be, whose words it is (his post is in it exactly as posted), and the prompts and models that produced it.
  • song.js — the track.
  • score.abc, yue2.json — the song as YuE2 takes one: the chords and a vocal melody for every line in ABC (and the tapped line as its instrumental melody), and his style line and lyrics as posted. The sung lines in samples/ck* follow this melody, an octave down. The melody is a plain arch per line on its chord, a starting point to edit, and YuE2 has not rendered it.
