+notes: |
+  Burial asks are genuinely full-dimensional: rhythmic (2-step
+  shuffle with hand-placed notes), timbral (pitched-down vocal chops),
+  structural (atmospheric reveal of drum section), spatial (long
+  reverb tails). Unusual compared to other dubstep — plans should
+  favor arrangement-family rhythmic work and vocal-source
+  sound_design before touching bass synthesis.
+
+  The "modern dubstep wobble bass" that Burial famously avoids should
+  be flagged as anti-pattern for every plan generated against this
+  packet.
