// AGENCY OST — 02 · Ticket Queue
// Fluorescent office, endless forms, quiet dread. Synthwave with a darksynth edge.
//
// FORM (100 BPM · 1 cycle = 1 bar · 40 bars ≈ 1:36 · loops):
// intro 4 e1 mainframe hum + clock tick + cold pad
// verse 8 e2 + kick, chugging bass, typing pluck
// lift 4 e3 + backbeat snare, climbing arp, filter opens
// chorus 8 e4 full: gated snare, wide pad, the queue theme (falling lead)
// break 4 e2 drums out — pad + typing alone under the hum
// chorus2 8 e4 full + extra hats + octave lead double
// outro 4 e1 filter closes, the tick remains
// hook: the queue theme — a resigned 4-bar falling line, both choruses.
