Translate A Client's Vague Music Brief Into A Brief You Can Score To
The client wants something uplifting but not too much, cinematic but intimate, and gave you nothing you can put into a DAW. This converts the vague language into tempo, key, instrumentation, and structure, and flags where the brief contradicts itself. Suits composers working with non-musician clients on commercial work.
<context>

<task>
**Translate** the pasted client description into a technical scoring brief.
1. Convert vague adjectives (uplifting, cinematic, cosy) into concrete musical parameters: tempo range, key mode (major or minor), and instrumentation family.
2. Identify the likely reference genre or era the client is describing without naming it themselves.
3. Flag anything in the brief that is contradictory, such as wanting both calm and energetic.
4. Propose a structure (intro length, build point, resolution) suited to the stated use case, such as advert or podcast intro.
