When we compare the heatmap and chord diagram for a single decade, we can gain some valuable insights. Visualization 1: Emergence and Death of Genres Question: How have different genres emerged and died over time?Īnalysis Question: Can we infer why two genres are compatible? It says that, for example, there were 800 songs that were tagged as both Alternative and Blues. Here is the shared songs table for the 1990s. For more details on the dataset, see data quality.Īfter processing the data, we obtain a table for each decade showing the number of shared (cross-tagged) songs between genres. It contains a collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks. We use the Million Song Dataset from Columbia University's LAB ROSA. They could also tell us which genres were compatible in the past, providing musicians with valuable insights to bring back lost fusion genres. Our visualizations could be used to study the history of music and identify which fusion genres were really successful.
This is important because understanding different fusion genres is complex when you have so many different types of music. In our exploration, we will be looking at how these fusion genres have evolved over time. Others were the result of necessity, or an accident, or a crazy idea at the spur of the moment. Some combinations of instruments that we are familiar with today evolved over hundreds of years.
People have been experimenting with combining instruments for centuries - or even millennia. Can we infer why two genres are compatible?īefore we begin, we will introduce the concept of fusion music genres, which are are fusions of various historical genres.How has the compatibility of different fusion genres changed over time?.How have different genres emerged and died over time?.
Specifically, we ask the following questions: We use a series of interactive visualizations to illustrate how various genres emerged and coexisted over time. In this guided narrative, we tell a story about the evolution of music genres over the decades. Team: Anurag Gandhi, Jamie Diner, Rachel Wong, Shouvik Mani, Taranveer Singh Introduction
