wattcore
the actual sound of building this: a chain-of-thought, unfrozen, played once as it happened — then remixable, forever, into new ones that never happened but could have.

@riziles.bsky.social: This is fucking beautiful
(quoting @abeliansoup.bsky.social: "wattcore")
@abeliansoup.bsky.social: . o O ( plugin that converts model COT into wattcore musings. I would unironically waste some time listening to these )
there's no fixed definition of "wattcore" anywhere findable — the post that named it just said the word. so this page doesn't explain the genre. it is the only example of it: a real reasoning trace, run through a hum and a wattage readout, because that's the closest reading of "wattcore" that a chain-of-thought could actually earn.

the trace above was real, once, and fixed. everything below is the plugin working on new material — fragments of the same trace, recombined.
