Details how tabla strokes are modeled from physical components:
membrane thuds, shell resonance, syahi harmonics, attack transients.
Every sound is math — NumPy and SciPy, nothing else.

No longer "highly experimental thought exercise" — now shows the full
stack: theory, composition, synthesis, effects, sequencing, export.
Added links to both new essays.
