The result seems to me to be more like Reverb in my perception/use. Where the lower it is (like R= 0.5), the more restricted the space is so it bounces around more/intimate and the higher values are more like the room is expanding so its not as bouncy.
What does R refer to or what is it a spectrum from->to? What does the absence and abundance of resonance reify as observably?
IIRC resonance happens when the filter has a quality Q >1. The cutoff frequency gets amplified, the higher ones get attenuated.
What is Q?
Also, Is there a good song that exemplifies what this sounds like? Like what would stylistically motivate an artist to integrate one?
The quality of the resonator.

I don’t think they are used for music.
Basically anything that affects waves is used for music.
Wah-wah pedals are resonant filters with an adjustable cut off. Rock and metal guitarists have been using them in solos to create that expressive “crying guitar” sound. Classic example is the solo in Sweet Child O’Mine by Guns N’ Roses.
