Proteus Audio

Proteus

Procedural Variable Playback

An experimental audio format for recorded music.

Proteus Audio explores non-fixed audio playback by bundling a track into a container with internally grouped alternatives. Randomizing these internal audio alternates allows something of a unique performance every time you press play.

Proteus, the Old Man of the Sea, was the Greek god of change and transformation.

Variable Playback

One .prot file can produce large numbers of valid combinations from real performances instead of static renders.

Artist-Controlled Structure

Musicians define tracks, parts, and behavior to maintain an artistic vision determined by humans rather than machines.

Rust + Desktop Tooling

The authoring workflow is built with modern Rust-driven tooling for performance and maintainability.
