Every Noise at Once

This is an algorithmically-generated non-analytical map of the musical genre-space. Genres and artists are positioned by code and data, adjusted for legibility, but the underlying vectors are less interesting than the juxtapositions and clusters that they produce, so the axes have been deliberately left unlabeled and uncalibrated. You are invited to imagine your own qualities and magnitudes that the geometry might be expressing.

Click the on a genre to see a map of its artists.

This webpage has a listing of every genre of music, in clustered cloud format. Clicking on any genre will play a sample (mouseover on the genre to see what's playing). Click on the ">>" next to the genre and we get a clustered cloud of the major artistes that release music in that particular genre.

Thanks for sharing, Hydra. Although I have come across some other sources for multiple genre samples, this looks pretty promising. The presentation is quite cool

Thanks for the share.
Take whatever genre in Rap I could not find any music in it. Rap is to my ears is something like a disgruntled man talking bad words.
