Hold Music: The Album

Piano-ballad ambience in the Richard Clayderman tradition — tracing who chose Bank of America's hold music, why callers on a fraud line are greeted with cheerful anonymous piano, and why scammers in 2026 learned to imitate the same sound.

A corporate ambient / smooth jazz instrumental built on the Cisco 「Opus Number One」 archetype — the track no one at Comcast has ever documented. Electric piano, soft synth bass, and the specific texture of cable-company waiting.

A 5-minute classical-light / corporate ambient expansion of the IRS Practitioner Priority Line's flute-and-piano hold loop — beginning where the loop does, building through ambient strings, and dissolving back to a single flute. The sound of institutional patience turned into something you might actually remember.
