🗂️ CHANGELOG.md – BLOATWARE
Live Techno Band Repository
Version: v7.4.0-beta
Codename: "CPU_MELTDOWN"

🆕 Added
💥 New Track: boot_loop_lullaby()
Composed entirely during a locked-in jam session inside the RED ROOM of the Llandoger Trow.

🎛️ RED ROOM Mode
Engages dim lighting, detuned synths, and irreversible filter sweeps. Once triggered inside the Llandoger, exit is... unlikely.

🦴 Subsonic Kick Layering v2.0
Kicks now hit harder than your 2009 heartbreak.
Tuned to resonate with both ribcages and pub floorboards.

🌀 Tempo Morph Engine
Enables smooth glides from 90–150 BPM with AI-driven BPM warping.
Ideal for sunrise-to-sunset set transitions without tempo whiplash.

🎛️ Real-Time Modular Synth API
Now supports live hot-swapping of patch cables mid-performance. No undo. No regrets.

🔁 Sequencer Randomizer
Created a chaos engine for melodies that only makes sense at 4AM.

🌐 LAN-Based Crowd Feedback Module
Audience phone tilt controls the reverb decay of the next drop.
(Experimental. Likely to brick network.)


🔧 Changed
🔊 Upgraded all kick drums from "heavy" to "existential crisis."

🔄 Loop quantization adjusted to almost on beat, per artistic decision.

💽 Switched from Ableton to a self-written DAW named bloatOS (written in Bash, crashes gloriously).

💡 Lightshow protocol now syncs with MIDI CC chaos mode – no strobes, just seizures.


🐛 Fixed
🪲 Eliminated MIDI feedback loop that was summoning eldritch tones.

🎹 Resolved issue where synths would auto-trigger during soundcheck.

🧠 Memory leak in vocalist's vocoder now only affects 12% of lyrics.


⚠️ Known Issues
🔴 Activating RED ROOM Mode may cause audience-wide déjà vu, time dilation, or unexpected enlightenment.

🎭 Vocals processed live may include uninvited voices. Do not attempt to engage.

🔊 Bassline can corrupt venue foundations in low-EQ environments.

🖥️ Visual rig GPU overheats after third encore — fans recommended (PC or human).

🪫 Once the set starts, you cannot exit. There is no ESC key.


🧠 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is a hardware-heavy, CPU-melting, live-coded techno collective born from a failed firmware update and a warehouse fire. Specializing in unstable builds, they perform fully improvised sets using overclocked synths, modular gear, and haunted drum machines.

Every gig is a cold boot. Every beat a stack overflow.
Install at your own risk.
