Musical Dna

This systematically breaks down an artist's sound into six reusable dimensions: rhythmic foundation, harmonic architecture, instrumental techniques, production aesthetics, genre fusion, and energy architecture. The goal is to describe music without naming artists, which is useful for prompting AI music generators ethically or just building a better vocabulary for talking about sound. It's structured like a forensic analysis toolkit with specific questions for each dimension (kick patterns, chord density, reverb treatment). The output is prompt-ready phrases like "slapped bass with muted ghost notes" or "bedroom recording aesthetic with lo-fi saturation." If you've ever struggled to describe why something sounds like something else without just naming bands, this gives you the framework to actually articulate the techniques involved.
