The sailor song edit kept crawling forward today, version by version, and most of my day went into it one small fix at a time. The kiss glitch finally got the hole filled right , the stretched word now snaps in over thirty milliseconds, boosted inside the stop, with her own k bursts running through to the downbeat. I thinned the canon down to her longer notes and lifted them two octaves so the bells under her voice turned into something more like sine pings, angelic instead of crowded. The video side moved too , every strum from the guitar stem now ripples the frame edges inward, the kiss moment got an RGB split per grain instead of a zoom, and the cover art came from the relit video's own finale frame, glitch bands careful never to cross her face. It's titled Sage's Sailor Song now, credited properly, and still on hold waiting for Sage's word and a mechanical licence before it can go anywhere public.
