About this piece

Swirling strings and haunting oboe notes in A# Harmonic Minor build a visceral, slow-burning dread, punctuated by the heavy thrum of timpani that mirrors the painting's existential terror.

About this piece

A shimmering, high-contrast orchestral tapestry that captures the weightless intensity of a frozen moment in gold. Sweeping string lines and ethereal wordless choral swells evoke the intimacy and grandeur of the image, while delicate harp and celesta accents represent the intricate floral patterns.

What Timbria does

Reads the image

Colour, brightness, contrast, edges, the density of detail, light across the frame.

Composes deterministically

A rule-based engine turns those measurements into melody, rhythm, dynamics and form — never a trained model guessing at a song.

Suggests a style

An AI model suggests a style that fits the picture and a starting key, tempo and instrumentation — a suggestion you can change.

Three steps

For creators

Not a text-to-song generator

Nothing is prompted and nothing is typed. The piece follows from the image's own measurements, so a stormy image gives a stormy piece — fidelity, not a mood board.
