I don't get it. I mean, I understand what I'm looking at; a word cloud of music genres that is each linked to a sample. That part I got. But when you label your website 'Every Noise at Once'... I kind of expect to hear multiple (perhaps not 'every') noises at the same time.

Re: Every Noise at Once
#22The examples this site chooses aren't the greatest... It maps an entire artist to a genre, so when one artist makes multiple genres of music the examples end up being very off. Take dubstep for example, the artist they chose for the example is Skream, one of the people who popularized dubstep, but the song they chose is his latest release "Otto's Chant" which is tech house, not dubstep. Skream hasn't even made any dubstep in quite a while.

Sound waves are physical. You cannot change the empirical outcome by doing the math differently. Sound waves are indeed cancelled out by their inverse.
Isn't the inverse of a sound the same sound?
Nope, it's flipped on the horizontal axis (if you picture it as a graph) so when both are summed you get zero (at least in perfect destructive interference).

#24This reminds me of the old school flash app Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. Man was that thing ahead of it's time.

#26Where this site really shines is when you get into a genre that links to a series of linked Spotify playlists. Pretty awesome for exploring Intro, Edge, Pulse, playlists of genres of music you like. It's great for discovery of new artists.

#27The bottom of the page is a little weird. "Byzantine" is not Russian Liturgical Music. This is Byzantine Chant: https://youtu.be/Bs--5yMg1g0 Also, Georgian Polyphony did not involve strings as a general rule. There were regional exceptions, but early Slavic polyphony was generally a capella. Here's a good example of Gerogian polyphony: https://v-s.mobi/elia-lrdei-princeton-georgian-choirs-fall-2... Sorry to nitpick,…
It seems like "Byzantine" is just an unfortunate label, which should be "church music", but if you expand it you will see that byzantine chant is present.

It's the same sound, but out of phase, so they cancel out. Think operating principle of noise-canceling headphones.

Yeah, I've been searching for a specific genre (what to even call it) for a long time and I feel like this site just gave me a treasure trove of artists I didn't know about.
+1 from me

Depends how you take the sum! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_series#Absolute_conv... [edit] See my comment below: my joke is about the fact that, depending on the order in which you sum an infinite sequence of waveforms, you can create a sequence that converges to any sound you want [1] (as long as those waveforms together span the full frequency space). Note also that a sum over a truly continuous space of…

There is no empirical result because you can't actually play all sounds at the same time.
