// AGENCY OST — 08 · Green Build
// It ships. Dawn through the blinds. Synthwave in E major — the relative major
// of home. The mainframe drone from "Legacy System" returns and resolves up a
// major third; the Agency motif (0 2 4 6 · 7 4 2 0) finally lands in major.
//
// FORM (102 BPM · 1 cycle = 1 bar · 68 bars ≈ 2:40 · loops):
// intro 8 e1 the old C# drone... resolves to E. Soft pad.
// verse 8 e2 + kick, round bass, pluck arp teases the motif
// lift 4 e3 + snare, line climbs into the light
// chorus 16 e4 full: gated snare, wide pad, the motif sung in major
// break 8 e2 drums out — choir and pad, deep breath, sunrise
// chorus2 16 e5 everything, octave double, all the hats
// outro 8 e1 drone on E alone. The build is green.
// hook: the Agency motif, major-voiced — both choruses.
