Every Noise at Once

This is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 1374 genres by The Echo Nest. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

Click anything to hear an example of what it sounds like.

cool website, the only one i clicked on that was kind of a lol was 'musique concrete' which just sounded like some blaring digital synth noises

I want to know what the hell Electrofox and Solipsynthm are. - though obviously not enough to click on them and find out.

The site looks and works much better on a phone or tablet (pinching / zooming etc)

Needs more Braindance.

deep funk house is quite horny. great link!

We need to get Deathwave on there.

I like how "abstract idm" is right next to "schlager"

I'm fairly certain that it's Michel Chion's Requiem.

Also, try to click on GAK.

This is so amazing. Thank you.

Where is the biggest gap in the plot? Im sure we can create some micro-genres to fill in the holes.

Top left. Dense mechanical electriconic atmospherics? Something between Cybermetal and Aggrotech?

Somewhere between Gabba, dark electro industrial and bouncy house, there exists my favourite micro-genre that I have not invented yet.

Turns out minimal dub = techno

This is basically my follow list on soundcloud :P

Acid House plays Big Fun? Bad example imo, doesn't even have a 303 in it? Oh wait, all generated. Nevermind. It all looks pretty decent though :)

really bad examples on almost everything i clicked. including at least 10 which were just meaningless breakdowns. how does this thing work?
