The prompt is preserved verbatim as part of the documented artifact.

Create an ancient wind-instrument focused track representing the invention of crafted reed pipes and early melodic scales. Use multiple primitive reed pipe tones, breath noise, soft drones, minimal clay percussion, distant humming, and open-air ambience. No modern instruments, no synths, no lyrics, no real language, no religious references. The melody should be simple but more intentional than before, moving between a few repeated notes as if humans are discovering scale, pitch, and musical phrasing. The atmosphere should feel airy, ancient, fragile, and intelligent.
