Add Music Box Factory (20) + Cathedral (21)
Music Box Factory: G major, 108 BPM — 8 tuned percussion instruments. Kalimba, vibraphone, celesta, marimba, glockenspiel, xylophone, crotales, timpani. No synths, no strings. Cathedral: D minor, 60 BPM — tubular bells in taj_mahal, bagpipe drone, mellotron choir, timpani thunder, pipe organ, kick in cathedral reverb. Mellotron choir solo at the heart.
