Formula card EX_124 — Deus Ex Main Title (UNATCO)

Game: Deus Ex · Composer: Alexander Brandon & Michiel van den Bos · Purpose class: TITLE_CHARACTER

Tier: RUNG-1 MEASURED · measured 2026-08-06T20:57:45+00:00 · source format mp3 at 44100 Hz

Length 127.295 s across 11 sections; baseline 112.35 bpm; key A# minor.
Opens fade_in; the hook lands at 0.104 s.
Arrangement runs up to 9 spectral lanes; melodic salience 0.8729 across 316 extracted notes.
Event grammar: 14 drops, 20 raises, 1 breaks, 0 tutti passages; silence budget 2.3%.
Dynamic range 14.76 dB, peak at 46% through the track.
Complexity steps 6 times across 59 bars, 2 of them at a section boundary.

Lanes are a spectral_band_proxy reading, not an instrument roster. Section 11.1 requires the lane method be declared. Bands are not instruments: two instruments in one octave read as one lane, and one instrument spanning two octaves reads as two. Entry/exit and simultaneity shapes are trustworthy; a roster is not claimed.
Bar arithmetic on this card uses 4 beats per bar at the baseline tempo. The onset period beside it is MEASURED; the signature is not.
A cadence census needs harmonic transcription and is a rung-2 dimension; the seam measurement is what rung 1 can honestly report about how it ends.
Windowed key agreement below ~0.7 is the modulation signal at rung 1; a pivot-chord map needs symbolic transcription (rung 2).
