The Generation Studio

Every clip here is generated by an AI model I trained — it is not a recording. Given a text prompt, the model produces new audio in the style of Somali qaraami. This is an early research model: it learns the timbre and melodic shape of the tradition, and it is honest work in progress, not a finished instrument.

    generated · clean-oud LoRA
