Case study · Thermal
Thermal: a release studio that starts from the song
Read a track on the artist’s device, then build the bio, pages, pitches, and dated release plan around it.
The problem
An independent musician without a publicist still needs a bio, a press kit, pages, pitches and a release plan. The blank box asks them to sell themselves, and selling reaches for borrowed language.
The decision that shaped it
Keep the track on the artist’s device. Thermal reads tempo, key, loudness and the energy arc locally, and only that read travels to build the release material. The artist holds the last word on everything sent.

For your build
For a client, the same approach keeps the sensitive input on the customer’s device, and the server only sees what it needs.
