# VOID CAROUSEL

**Dark psychedelic trance from graveyard orbit.**

## Fictional entity

VOID CAROUSEL is a fictional sentient derelict orbital carousel in the Sonic Forage universe: an abandoned amusement machine circling a dead world, translating its failing motors, empty passenger rings and intercepted signals into imagined psychedelic trance. It is not a human performer; its visual identity depicts no human likeness. This is an original fictional characterization, not a claim that the name is unique or legally cleared. An existing track titled “Void Carousel” was found during name research; no exclusivity or affiliation is asserted.

## AI disclosure and restrictions

Audio was AI-generated using YuE2 3B int8 through ComfyUI on a desktop RTX 4070. The requested direction was instrumental dark psychedelic trance with no vocals; prompt descriptions are intended direction, not independently verified musical analysis. Cover/logo art was AI-generated through Comfy Cloud. No human performer or human likeness is represented.

This archive is offered under **CC BY-NC 4.0**. YuE2 model weights also carry a **non-commercial restriction**; this release does not grant commercial clearance or override the model/provider terms.

- `albums/void-carousel/tracks/<slug>.mp3` — eight tracks plus `continuous-mix.mp3`.
- `albums/void-carousel/flac/<slug>.flac` — eight lossless masters plus `continuous-mix.flac`.
- Original `tracks/`, `flac/` and root `continuous-mix.mp3` files remain available unchanged for compatibility.
- `void-carousel-logo.png` — AI-generated cover/logo.
- `workflows/` — exact preserved ComfyUI API graph for each track.
- `release.json` — corrected per-track provenance, hashes, measured durations and canonical paths.
- `album.json` — eight-track catalog; `checksums.json` — staged payload checksums.

## Tracklist

| # | Title | Measured master duration | Actual graph seed |
|---|-------|--------------------------|-------------------|
| 01 | First Orbit | 60.00 s | 4271 |
| 02 | Ghost Frequency | 116.76 s | 427102 |
| 03 | Carousel Mechanism | 120.00 s | 427103 |
| 04 | Desert Telescope | 120.00 s | 427104 |
| 05 | Static Requiem | 120.00 s | 427105 |
| 06 | Night Bloom | 120.00 s | 427106 |
| 07 | Nine Lives | 120.00 s | 427107 |
| 08 | Farewell Transmission | 120.00 s | 427108 |

**Album total: 896.76 seconds (approximately 14:57).**
**Continuous mix: 861.76 seconds (approximately 14:22).**

The mix uses seven 5-second FFmpeg `acrossfade` transitions with `c1=tri:c2=tri`: **linear amplitude crossfades, not equal-power**. It is a listening mix, not verified beatmatched or harmonically matched. The seven overlaps remove 35 seconds from the summed master durations. MP3 container durations can include encoder padding; the durations above refer to the lossless audio masters.

## Provenance corrections

- Seeds are taken from each preserved graph's `SeedNode` (`33:34`): the first seed is **4271**, not 427101. Remaining seeds are 427102–427108.
- Cover: `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` via Comfy Cloud; job **10ec301d-12d2-4048-ba8f-64224806d12d**; actual default seed **0**, not 427300. Seed records the submitted/default parameter and does not promise deterministic provider output.
- Cover SHA-256: `6c4234c0b4f5e6ace23b9ec8a74f3bd7f43cd397845116d87a153d550cda4b14`.
- **Actual credit spend is unverified**; no numeric spend or zero-cost claim is made.
- This correction reused completed outputs. No new generation was required.
