Apollo is a music box. It is summonable, tintable, and has the capability to add one's own songs to its playlist via notecards to ensure smooth playback.

8 pre-selected songs are currently included.

The difference between I & II is that I is holdable while II is a floating orb. Both are summonable via the gesture provided. Both work the exact same and have the same music pre-loaded.

To add your own music, rezz Apollo on the ground, cycle through to link number 5 and drop in edit mode. Create a notecard, preferably with a name that goes with the line "The songs of ______ emits with a star-light glow." with the UUID of your music bites in order on separate lines each:

UUID1
UUID2
etc.

Do not leave any spaces above or below any UUID pastes.

Drag and drop this notecard into Apollo's 5th prim link with the other notecards, and you're good to go. Swap out any other notecards should Apollo fill up too much.

Linden Labs has made the change to allow audio uploads of 30 seconds rather than the previous 10 second limit. Take advantage of this when uploading your sound bites. The less, the quicker the pre-loading times, the smoother the audio playback.

Among the Tifl of Muladhara, the Apollo technique was a revered practice that wove memory, light, and music to honour the lost. Developed by musicians and scholars, it preserved a fragment of a deceased Tifl's starlight in an isolated void, where it shone eternally, free from time’s decay.

This void, created through ancient rituals, held the essence of the departed, emitting a haunting melody that echoed their life’s songs, words, and emotions. Each note was a piece of their soul, resonating with their stories.

The Keepers of Apollo, trained musicians, amplified these melodies during sacred gatherings and private moments, bridging the living and the dead. The music allowed Tifl to interact with the essence of their loved ones, providing reflection, healing, and celebration of life.

More than memory preservation, Apollo was a living memorial. It ensured that the light of those who passed continued to shine. This technique embodied the Tifl's reverence for memory and music, offering an eternal symphony that reminded them that no soul was truly lost in the vast cosmos.
