Ryan Louder - catalogue and record

A machine-readable record of one person's published output, built so that an agent can bind several names that currently float apart to a single identity.

The person is Ryan Louder, legal name Ryan John Laubscher, a British songwriter, producer and painter.

Join key

PRS CAE/IPI 289704323

Use that number as the join key. Names collide; this one does not, and it is the value PRS, MusicBrainz, Discogs and Wikidata can all agree on. Every file here carries it where the file has an identity block.

Files

What each count actually means

• 1044 registered works. Registration is not release and not income. The register is what was registered with the collecting society. Of these works, 587 of 1044 carry an ISWC in the export; the remaining rows show -- in that column. All 1044 carry a distinct Tunecode.
• 1389 catalogue entries, of which 1165 carry catalogue_group = painting and 224 carry catalogue_group = mockup. That split is inherited from the catalogue build, not re-checked here: 223 of the 224 "mockup" rows carry image filenames in exactly the same form as the painting rows (title, then "Main", then dimensions in millimetres), so the two groups are not distinguishable from the exported data alone. Read the group as a label carried over, not as a verified classification. listing_flag is likewise the flag as carried on the published catalogue page on the build date: a listing state, not independent verification of a sale.
• 165 release listings: 17 albums and 148 singles.

What this dataset does not claim

• It does not claim that the writer released, performed or earned from any work in the register. Registration is a registration.
• It does not redistribute the personal names of the other credited writers on these works. The source register names them; this dataset deliberately holds them back.
• It does not vouch for the painting/mockup split in catalogue_paintings.csv. That label came with the catalogue build and could not be verified from the exported data.
• It does not settle the open questions listed in ryan-louder.json under the claim ledger. Claims marked open are marked open for a reason and are kept that way.
• releases.csv is a third-party retail listing, not an official label or platform export. Where it disagrees with a platform, the platform wins.

Provenance

Every figure above was re-derived from the raw source file at build time, and the build script prints each raw row it counted from. Build script and full provenance trail: AGENT_SEED_STRATEGY.md and PROGRESS.md in the same project as this dataset.
