Almanac

Karel’s recording is a grain corpus. A granular time-stretch engine crawls a read-head slowly through it (well under real time) and sprays short, transposed grains; a long-form arc state machine walks a slow day through the eight canonical hours, continuously changing granular density, transposition spread, layering, register and brightness — so it evolves for many minutes with no hard loop, drift- varying each new day. Resurrects the ⭐ idea 1162-loom-of-hours. See the folder README for the full mechanism and references (Liturgy of the Hours; Curtis Roads, Microsound, 2001).
