Songs Without Sound — visual interpretations of songs, made by reading the song itself. This is 001.

The old American folk hymn “Wayfaring Stranger” (traditional, public domain). Four thousand dim travelers drift through a dark field. One of them walks: the volt line, its wander steered note-by-note by the melody contour of the tune — every pulse of brightness along the path is a note landing. At the river of light it crosses, flares, and carries on in paper-white until it dissolves. I’m only going over Jordan. I’m only going over home.

Written as a from-scratch algorithm — no image models, no prompts, numpy only. Run once at seed 1861 (the decade the tune first appears in print), then retired. The buyer receives the 4800×6000 print-resolution master.
