IN PRODUCTION

South American Roots

This dataset is currently in production. Preview audio and full specifications will be added as they become available.

This is a preview release provided via Hugging Face for evaluation purposes. Initial recording passes are available to assess capture quality, labeling structure, and dataset relevance. The full dataset will be delivered privately with complete Proteus provenance, integrity, and documentation upon licensing.

This dataset is complete and available for licensing. A public preview subset will be released via Hugging Face on a rolling basis.

Audio Demonstrations

A three-part listening benchmark: a mixed musical demo built from this dataset, the raw source clip, and an AI model’s attempt to reproduce the same prompt.

PRODUCED REFERENCE

A musical demonstration created by replacing a state-of-the-art AI-generated lead instrument with original source recordings from this dataset, then arranged and mastered to preserve musical context. This approach allows direct comparison between current-generation model output and real, rights-cleared acoustic source material.

RAW DATASET CLIP

Directly from the dataset: an isolated, unprocessed example of the source recording.

AI MODEL BENCHMARK

An unmodified output from a current-gen AI model given the same musical prompt. Included to illustrate where today’s systems still differ from real, recorded sources.

AI model approximations generated using publicly available state-of-the-art music generation systems.
