101.160Conceptual “Bare Necessities” system

Identity

playful groove + comic timing.

Rules
  • bass character remains recognizable
  • no dense harmonic language during busy melody
  • comic stop-time may occur once per major section
  • one mock-serious contrasting state allowed
  • false ending must be prepared by exaggerated closure behavior
  • final ending returns to simple/playful texture

Again:

logic, not fixed notes.
