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Despite no longer being updated, Every Noise at Once remains a valuable resource for music discovery and genre exploration.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.

Trains & sounds

I found this on reddit. Trains making music, "playing" sounds  through the tonal scale upon departure.

The sound of a tree

 What would the trunk of a tree sound like if a cross section of it were played like an LP? With his creation Years, Bartholomäus Traubeck attempts to answer that question by using a turntable, PlayStation Eye Camera, a stepper motor to control the arm, and computer running Ableton Live. As you’ll hear in the video above, the rings of the tree trunk, as interpreted by this piece, create an eerie and ominous piano track that sounds like it was taken from psychological horror film. Who knew trees were so emo? [via Creative Applications]

Where in your mouth do you do which sounds...

interactive articulatory speech synthesizer

Pinktrombone is an interactive articulatory speech synthesizer.

Neil Thapen is a game developer who's been working this in-browser simulator (dubbed "Pink Trombone") since 2015. You, the user, are given fine control over every important part of the human vocal tract; in theory, you should be able to make all sorts of sounds. In practice, having such fine grain control is really, really hard to manage. The results are simultaneously impressive and hilarious.

Rarities on online transistor radio

Listen to forgotten classic & rare recordings, digitized out of print vinyl online.

http://magictransistor.com/radio

Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck has created musical masterpieces, by playing trees. He created a record player that translates the different colors and textures of tree rings into music. Rather than use a needle like a record, sensors gather information about the wood and turn them into piano notes. Every tree sounds vastly unique due to varying characteristics of the rings, such as strength, thickness and rate of growth.

Come as you are vs. eighties

The chords in the song "Come as you are" by Nirvana are a slowed down replica of Killing Joke's 1985 song "Eighties." The songs were so similar that Nirvana considered holding off releasing the song as a single. Killing Joke considered legal action, but when Kurt Cobain died, they decided not to sue. ("It's a short f--king life, mate - we could be going fishing or something sensible," lead singer Jaz Coleman explained).

Dave Grohl is a big fan of Killing Joke and helped them out by playing drums on their 2003 self-titled album.
