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.

I was expecting to just hear white noise. Isn't that what all frequencies is added together, like the color white is all colors added together?

You should look up 'black noise' on the chart. It's music generated using MIDI so that the printed score maximises the quantity of black ink used. The "music" aspect is like listening for the whitespace in a sea of sound.

Somebody could probably write a program to generate new EDM sub-sub-genres. Somebody probably already has.

Good problem for adversarial learning. Train one ML system to rate EDM, trying to match some metric like total sales. Second system tries to generate EDM which gets high scores from the first system.

This reminds me of the old school flash app Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. Man was that thing ahead of it's time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishkur%27s_Guide_to_Electronic...

It still exists! http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

Needs Flash player,of course. If you're on Windows, Edge is an easy way to run the site without installing shit you'll regret later.

Where 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.

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

Same here, in a specific genre I like all the artists were clumped together.

Would be cool to see something like this on song-level, not artist/group.

https://twitter.com/Ishkur23 A new version is coming out in a couple of weeks(supposedly).

Oh my god, no way! That guide shaped my entire music taste. I'd spend fucking hours trawling through it.

One thing that's really funny is now with my current taste, going back on there and re-listening to the clips of artists that are now in my mainstay.

Could really use a volume control on the page.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting choice of dimensions... So basically how human and how rhythmically distinct. Edit: so out of curiosity I looked at the bottom right corner and found "tanci". Odd name. Clicked on it, and it's Chinese spoken word artists. Incidentally I practice Chinese so it's perfect.

What do the colours mean?

Unfortunately, I can't remember :( COuld be rythm or number of instruments.
