FRISSON ANALYZER

Detects and classifies the moments in audio that produce a physical response, and outputs where they are and how strong.

In goes an acoustic signal; out come frisson event coordinates, intensity curves and the spectral correlates that go with them. It runs as an MCP server inside the C-Cell production workflow and stands alone as a research tool.

What it is really doing is quantifying the felt experience that mastering decisions are already trying to engineer. A producer chasing the moment a track opens up is working from memory and instinct. This puts a coordinate on it.

Perception is measurable, and a mix is an experiment in perception. That is the same claim the pulse-driven work makes with a different instrument.

Where it came from
