Sound boundary

The same noise can be a musical texture in one work and room tone under a film scene in another. The intended role determines who judges it.

Riffmaw accepts instrument/vocal processing, designed timbres, samples, transitions, textures, and effects inside composition, arrangement, or mix. Sources, tools, transforms, rights, parameters, and digests stay attached. A technically clean waveform can still fail the musical purpose.

Broadcast owns picture-bound effects, foley, room tone, environmental beds, and ambience judged against exact picture, timebase, event, place, material, distance, perspective, and continuity. Other application sound stays with its consuming Composition. A common codec, plug-in, generator, or DAW does not transfer that judgment.

Reusable standalone sound packs have no accepted Portfolio owner. A future Composition must prove independent records, acceptance, recovery, and consumers. Until then Riffmaw publishes no standalone sound-pack Pattern; unexplained library material and provider-returned sound remain attributed candidates.
