AUDIOMOOD™ is an innovative lexicon designed as a creative diagnostic tool for writers, sound designers, game developers, and musicians. This curated reference provides real-world sound descriptors that help articulate mood, communicate ideas, and spark creative direction in audio-related projects.

AUDIOMOOD™ is built out of eight primary Audio Descriptors (see below). Each one contains a broad DNA Framework - the characteristics or "DNA" of that particular Sound Descriptor. A "Semantic Sound Graph:" this presents the particular Sound Descriptor and offers the user a parallel and opposite. And a few Sound Descriptors to get each one started.

This is a prototype research project so is liable to change in layout or content, to improve usability and coherence; and like any lexicon it should GROW! There is substantial AI output currently in this project, but frankly that's more for expediency than anything else. Building a useful fully functional lexicon that isn't just a bunch of words will take time. The intention therefore is to replace all the AI input with community driven input. Having said all that, AUDIOMOOD™ is an original concept.
