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.
