For curators, editors, bookers, and supervisors
Every kit measured. Nothing inflated.
You get hundreds of press kits a month, and most of them oversell. Thermal is the opposite pipeline: each artist's kit is written from measurements of the actual track and the artist's own facts, with the hype stripped before it reaches you.
Tempo, key, dynamics, texture, and energy are measured on the artist's device. The kit's sonic claims come from the track itself, not from the artist's adjectives.
Each claim traces to a measurement or to something the artist stated as fact. Pages that carry the "Read by Thermal" mark show their evidence at the bottom.
Artists opt in to the directory. There is no pay-to-rank, no boosted placement, and no public score. Listing is not something you can buy.
The directory is a receiving surface. Browse the reads, then post a brief below. Matching waits on verified connections and readiness. It never uses a private score.
The curator preview
A tighter view for working gatekeepers: new reads in your lane, filters by sound, region, and what the artist is open to, and a weekly shortlist, before it ships. Free while it is in preview; it stays useful because artists keep publishing.
Post a brief
Say the room, the sound, the dates, and what you need to see. Free. Artists opt in per brief. We do not sort them by how distinctive the instrument thinks they are.
