It seems most forms of EDM work great with this setup! One funny thing is for heavily remixed tracks, all the remixes pop up as suggestions. :)
I don't think I could've done the UI as clean, though, very nice!
I hope the mainstream platforms start implementing stuff like this soon
This is so interesting out of the gate that criticisms seem rather foolish. But I’ll just say what I tried.
I tried pop songs, jazz tunes, and even rather strange, unique recordings like “One Step Beyond” by Madness. And every time I got something with similar aspects.
I also like that all cultures were represented.
Would I use this to find music? Maybe? It kind of underscores that we don’t always listen just for a particular sound, but for what that artist represents to us. I may really like a band and absolutely hate a band that’s pretty much a copy of them (maybe done a few decades later) precisely because they are too much a copy.
I don’t think I could build playlists (in this current offering) because the songs are _too_ similar. Maybe if I want an exercise playlist with a particular bpm and vibe?
I think if I were looking for music for TV or advertising this would be an absolute winner. If I feel like I want a song like Daft Punk here, but I can’t afford to license it, I can use your tool to find a lot of tracks with similar vibes that I can afford or that I haven’t heard of.
I chose 'Let it be me' by the Everly Brothers. 8 or so of the top 10 were foreign songs, and sounded much older even.
One little problem: if you press play and wander off after it stopped playing it can be rather hard to find what you played.
I find it disheartening that the comments are loaded with people saying how bad it is. The interface is awesome, the ability to have search results pop up and offer suggestions is impressive. I thought the results for a Lana Del Ray song and a song by Carlos Santana were both interesting and suggested new things. We should do a better job of supporting creators here.
How did you get the samples for the song? iTunes allows scraping? Your project is extremely motivational .. how long did it take you? What did you train on? I do DL for work and just play with things like cifar. This is so inspired.
