# Burbz audio pack — attribution and licences

This directory contains a compact game-ready sound pack, the Burbz Quest
background tracks, and an Empire-view ambience. The original short sound pack has
Ogg Vorbis preservation copies and MP3 runtime copies. The bespoke 2026 Burbz
runtime sounds, score, and ambience were generated as MP3 files with ElevenLabs.
The two field recordings were excerpted, high-pass filtered, and given short
boundary fades.

The audio licences below apply to the corresponding audio files. This document is
not legal advice. No original creator or licensor endorses Burbz.

## Burbz Quest background music and bespoke sound design

`bgm-birbs-quest.mp3`, titled **Burbz Quest**, is an original instrumental
generated with ElevenLabs and supplied by the Burbz project owner on 25 July
2026 for use as the game's looping background music. The approved source file
was `Birbs_Quest_2026-07-25T151737.mp3`; it was renamed for the runtime without
altering its bytes. Its use remains subject to the project owner's ElevenLabs
account and applicable service terms.

`bgm-burbz-quest-v2.mp3` is a new two-minute **Burbz Quest** instrumental
generated with ElevenLabs on 26 July 2026. It was prompted as a warm,
hand-crafted woodland fantasy score with a loop-friendly opening and ending.
The runtime overlaps two audio decks for a five-second crossfade at each loop.

`ambience-empire-treetops.mp3` and the twelve `sfx-*.mp3` files were generated
specifically for Burbz with ElevenLabs on 26 July 2026. Their shared sound
direction uses polished wood, parchment, feathers, wind magic, restrained
chimes, and natural treetop textures rather than arcade-style effects. The
ambience was generated in ElevenLabs' seamless-looping mode. Their use remains
subject to the Burbz project owner's ElevenLabs account and applicable service
terms. The generated ambience and short cues were peak-normalized to
approximately -3 dBFS for consistent game playback without changing their
timing.
