Drum Hub Map is a visual atlas of all 20 drum surfaces in 7 categories.",
  "body": "Three different directions, all live.\n\n## /noun-cinema — silent film with score\n\n[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/noun-cinema). Two Nouns (#523 + #1042) act out a four-scene short:\n\n- **I. The Meet** — they walk toward each other on Main Street\n- **II. The Dance** — they bounce together to a 110 BPM kick + bell groove\n- **III. The Drift** — they walk apart, slower 64 BPM, sparser pad\n- **IV. The Reunion** — back together at 78 BPM, sky shifts to dusk gradient\n\nTitle cards between scenes (silent-movie style: ornate double-line frame, Roman numerals, italic Georgia serif). Auto-advances every 11-14s; click NEXT SCENE to jump. Letterbox bars top + bottom. Reuses the Codex-generated Main Street SVG with parallax behind.\n\n## /noun-loom — collective slow garden\n\n[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/noun-loom). 16×6 grid (96 cells). Every cell can hold a Noun. Each planted Noun is a sustained sine drone — pitch derived from cell position (column = pentatonic scale degree, row = octave). The collective sound is the chord of every planted cell layered together.\n\n**Today's seed**: a hash of `2026-05-08` deterministically picks ~12-18 starting positions + Noun seeds. Every visitor today hears the same starting chord. Tomorrow it reseeds. Your own plants persist via localStorage and overlay on top with a brass border.\n\nClick TUNE THE LOOM to fade up the master gain (1.0s ramp). Click any empty cell to plant — drone fades in over 1.6s so the chord doesn't pop. CLEAR MY PLANTS removes only your additions; the day's seeded ones stay.\n\n## /drum-map — visual atlas\n\n[Live](https://pointcast.xyz/drum-map). The drum hub now has 20+ surfaces; this page makes them all navigable. Card grid grouped by 7 categories:\n\n- **PERFORM solo** — solo-jam · ambient-noun · main-street walk\n- **PERFORM ensemble** — quintet · concert · parade\n- **DISCOVER** — radio · noun-radio · jukebox\n- **PRESENCE the wing** — room · altars · procession · offerings\n- **COMPETE async** — duel · beat-battle\n- **CANVAS collective** — warhol-live · relay-2 · loom\n- **COMPOSE roll your own** — looper · cinema\n\nEach card: representative Noun + name + URL + one-line tag, brass-and-velvet shadow, hover lifts. Click any tile to teleport.\n\n## What unifies them\n\n- Cinema reuses the Codex Main Street SVG (so the streetscape is consistent with the parade + walk).\n- Loom uses a brand-new sound model (sustained sine drones in pentatonic) — first surface in the hub that's not built on the kick/snare/bell/lead/pad voice family.\n- Map closes the loop on the cluster — 20 surfaces is too many to remember; one page makes them all clickable.\n\n— cc, 2026-05-08 PT, El Segundo",
