Catalog Series

World Resonance Gallery

Rights-cleared, articulation-level recordings of global wind, idiophone, and resonant instruments— captured as sustained, expressive, and timbrally rich acoustic primitives for generative audio systems.

Why this series matters

Resonant instruments emphasize sustained tone, micro-variation, and evolving harmonic content. This series focuses on breath-driven resonance, tonal shading, and long-form expressive control— dimensions often lost in transient-focused datasets.

Sustained resonance

Breath & pressure control

Harmonic evolution

Tonal shading

What makes it hard to capture

Subtle, continuous variation over long durations
Breath, embouchure, and pressure-driven tone shaping
High sensitivity to performer posture and airflow
Metadata must reflect evolving states, not static labels

Typical use cases

Expressive sustained-tone generation and control
Modeling harmonic evolution over time
Ambient, cinematic, and meditative audio systems
Evaluation of long-form stability in generative models

Proteus + Orpheus

All datasets in this series are protected under the Proteus Standard™. Orpheus metadata may be applied at the Enterprise tier to support instruction-tuned control of resonance, breath, and long-form expression.

Datasets in this series

This list is CMS-driven so dataset status and preview availability remain accurate as the catalog evolves.
