Digital Musician Role for Saturdays - Zhordyn - 10-13-2025

With the addition of the Text 2 Music component, it seems a good role to spread its adoption would be a variation of the Musician Role on Saturdays, the Digital Musician. Most engineering roles aren't interested in making music, so this powerful component seems under utilized.

I envision they start with a briefcase full of Text2Music Components, a wrench and multi tool to place them and possibly access to Mechanics so they can build larger music devices with more mech components? I have been able to make a "jukebox" before as engineer, but feel I am neglecting that role just for access to Mechanics.

A season appropriate example of composition that Text 2 Music allows that you can't do on a Player Piano (short video example). I could start the PR but wanted to see if there would be push back on a variation of the daily role, or someone more capable could do it.
