A Martori tool. For the people who write songs.
A small room. The right people in it.
Cut is where songwriters meet the people who place songs. Writers submit. Music supervisors and A&R discover. The two sides never see the same interface, because what a writer needs to feel and what a buyer needs to find are different things.
The system
Heat is light.
Inside Cut, interest is rendered as warmth. When a supervisor returns to a song, holds on it, plays it again, the song warms. That warmth is called heat, and the whole system turns on one rule about who gets to see it. Flip the lane and watch what changes.
Blue hour
64 bpm · F# minor
Late frost
82 bpm · A minor
Cottonwood
118 bpm · D major
Miles from mercy
96 bpm · G major
Vandalia
128 bpm · E minor
This is what a buyer sees. Heat is navigation: warmth marks the songs closest to a taste the system has actually observed, so a supervisor moves through the catalog by affinity instead of by upload date.
The companion
June is an advocate.
June works for the writer, presenting a song to the people who can place it without serving both sides of the same table. A song moves toward a buyer only on the writer's terms, and June never overrides that choice.
Because the writer never sees heat, there is no number to chase and no metric to perform for. June advocates, and the system stays honest.
The first law: nothing in Cut is built to game the writer.
Where it stands
Cut is in development. The system is settled, both lanes are being rebuilt whole, and the marketplace opens when both sides are ready, not on a date.
