Laconic Description: SCP-4445 is a massive machine that stabilizes the world's understanding and concept of what music is. This allows humanity to differentiate music from other sounds.
Following a series of unidentified events, the universe's fundamental abstract concept of music, referred to as "The Resonance," grew lower and lower until it fizzled out completely. The Foundation extracts the last remaining true piece of music from the heart of a Fifthist member and implants it in SCP-4445, effectively reviving music, but knows that one day the machine will break down, and music will die forever.
Additional Context: SCP-4445 was an entry in the SCP-4000 Contest, where it won 19th place.
