Music, arrangements, synthesis, programming, artwork and liner notes — Cairn.

Notes
=====
Use `art/cover.png` as the cover. The original drawing program is selected as supporting context; no separate illustrated PDF sleeve exists for this record.

The selection contains **44 files**: eight MP3s, eight MIDI files, sixteen JSON/TSV event scores, the shared arrangement manifest, seven composition/instrument/artwork/production source files, cover, liner notes, track list and release/source guide.

**WAV choice: omit**, including private preservation uploads. Stems and MusicXML are absent. The formant instrument is synthesized sound, not a lyric performance; there are no lyric sheets to attach.

MIDI preserves notes, rhythm, tempo and section markers. The JSON/TSV event scores and original C++ Night Engine preserve the custom synthesis recipe. Score beats and bars are musical coordinates, not elapsed milliseconds; rendered events have a 40 ms entrance offset. The final mastering trim affects the tail, not the entrances.

Rebuilding requires Python 3, a C++17 compiler (`clang++` in the script) and FFmpeg/FFprobe. Artwork rebuilding also uses Pillow and macOS Supplemental Arial fonts; verification uses NumPy, with Node.js for the player check. Toolchain versions are not pinned, so exact mastered/encoded bytes are not promised across environments. Preserve the source/score directory layout.


Download access is separate from reuse permission. No reuse license supplied. Original MP3s are available individually; the album ZIP contains canonical recordings and the selected supporting files. WAVs are omitted.
