KIRIN OS 1.0
Your music knows itself.
Kirin OS 1.0
A song is born. It grows.
Then it lives on in someone’s record.
Kirin OS begins with measurement.
It is a music tool for observing and recording a song from different angles.
Measurements stay local,
while values and differences can be compared on screen.
Psychoacoustic measurements designed around human hearing
record the texture of individual sounds, and of the song as a whole, in vivid detail.
Timecode lets you return to a moment
and listen again for yourself.
Kirin OS supports artists and sound engineers through music production and release.
It also helps organize and share information for live performance.
To judge the ideas and intentions within a song
with your own ears and sensibility,
Kirin OS follows the path of its sound, moment by moment.
A life of one song / 23 records
The song moves. The record grows.
