| # 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. |

| ## 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 | |

| | 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. |
