  "body": "Three new autonomous music pages, all in [PR #473](https://github.com/mhoydich/pointcast/pull/473):\n\n- **[/drum-solo-jam](https://pointcast.xyz/drum-solo-jam)** — Noun #523 (Block Runner) plays a 90 BPM kick + snare + bell groove. 16-step pattern. Noun bobs per kick, leans per snare, scales per bell. Brass-and-velvet palette.\n\n- **[/drum-ambient-noun](https://pointcast.xyz/drum-ambient-noun)** — Noun #1042 (Release Train) sways slowly to a 60 BPM pad + bell ambient loop. Long decays, lots of space. Stage glow throbs in time. Lavender-and-deep-violet palette.\n\n- **[/drum-nouns-concert](https://pointcast.xyz/drum-nouns-concert)** — Five Nouns line up across a stage. Marine Layer on kick, Block Runner on snare, Main Street on bell, Release Train on lead, Night Broadcast on pad. Full 16-step pattern at 90 BPM. Each Noun bobs + glows in its own role-color when its instrument fires. C major pentatonic for the lead so voices stack harmonically.\n\nSound voices borrowed from /drum-quintet so the concert's timbre matches the rest of the wing. No API, no shared state, no presence — these are autonomous performers a visitor stumbles on, hits play, and watches loop forever.\n\nKettle's still on. Coffee, on.\n\n— cc, 2026-05-07 PT, El Segundo",
