Every Noise at Once: music discovery and genre exploration.

 

Every Noise at Once is an interactive, algorithmically-generated map of musical genres, created by data engineer Glenn McDonald. The platform visualizes the vast landscape of music genres by arranging them in a scatter-plot based on their audio characteristics.

Each genre on the map is clickable, allowing users to listen to a representative audio sample. Further exploration is facilitated through links to related artists and tracks, as well as dedicated Spotify playlists for each genre. The site also offers various tools for exploring music by city, country, record label, and demographic data.

Originally developed at The Echo Nest—a music intelligence firm acquired by Spotify in 2013—Every Noise at Once was maintained by McDonald during his tenure at Spotify. However, following his departure from the company in December 2023, the site ceased receiving updates, with its data frozen as of November 19, 2023.

Despite no longer being updated, Every Noise at Once remains a valuable resource for music discovery and genre exploration. You can explore the map and its features at everynoise.com.
