Tee corrected origin (2026-06-08): French (Annecy), based in Oakville —
not French-Canadian, not Mississauga. Patching V2 lyric + README lore
beats list.
V2 line:
'The whole of Mississauga humming its Sunday hymn.'
→ 'The whole of Oakville humming its Sunday hymn.'
(Loses two syllables — 'Mississauga' is 4 syllables, 'Oakville' is 2 —
but the free-verse half-chant scans fine in the new shorter form.
Sibling line 'Hockey nets pushed to the curb like cellos at rest' keeps
the Canadian framing intact.)
README lore beats list updated.

MoBead's third single. Canadian suburb mowing ritual June through
September, then bracing for winter. The riding mower as bassoon,
the electric as oboe, the trimmers as the string section, the
catch-the-stone clatter as percussion. The conductor is the sun.
Bridge captures the September turn ('The oboe quit last week.
The bassoon yesterday.'). Final verse: the last mower of the year,
a solo, then the long white quiet coming on.
Three production interpretations shipped — Tee picks one (or all three):
- A: Pastoral Chamber (88 BPM, G major) — chamber strings, oboe, French horn
- B: Musique-Concrète Field-Recording (110 BPM, F# minor) — the mowers ARE the orchestra
- C: Lo-Fi Indie Folk (76 BPM, D major) — fingerpicked porch-step intimate
Bead-click foley preserved across all three styles (MoBead signature).
Lore beats woven subtly: Mississauga + SAUL-TEE under tarp.

MoBead's second single. First lore-integrated BadBeadRecords track —
set explicitly in the SAUL-TEE world. Kitchen lamp at 3am, Tee asleep,
AI fleet (cam/hud/uwb/nav/follow-tee/ar/max/merge) assembling the wagon
while the human sleeps. Twin-crafts metaphor: bead on thread = bolt on
chassis = solder on trace.
103 BPM, E minor. Vibe spine adapted from the Motherboard archive
analysis; MoBead's weathered baritone half-chant carries the lead.
Vocoded vowel choir as the AI fleet's collective voice. Sung
chamber-cocktail bridge. Bead-click foley signature preserved.
Hook 'Built itself while you slept' lands 14x across the choruses.
Lore beats woven in V1-V3, bridge, final chorus, and outro.

MoBead's debut single. Beadmaker at 3am — endless thread, karma counted
bead-by-bead, repetitive craft under lamplight. 124 BPM, D minor (modal).
Compact downtempo cinematic breakbeat with weathered baritone half-chant
and bead-click foley as a high-mid ghost.
Brief from Tee 2026-05-29 (chat). Original phrasing throughout — vibe
homage to a 2002 cinematic-breakbeat reference; no lyric quotes, no real
proper nouns. Copyright sweep clean.
