Why is that interesting? Because it’s Richard Edwards’ old band! I guess the musical apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Want another cool example? In the sonically similar albums for Richard Edwards’ most excellent Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset you’ll notice a Margot & the Nuclear So and So‘s album there. If you look at Mirror Ball, you’ll see the fascinating fact that one of the most similar albums is Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy, which is notable because Pearl Jam played as the backing band on Mirror Ball! For example, if you only have the last two hipster-folk Taylor Swift albums (for shame, her early stuff is great too!), Sonically Similar Artists will reflect that fact (what are the odds that the Lana Del Rey similarity is related to the fact that Jack Antonoff contributed to both artists?)Īs a cool example of how eerily well this can work, consider Neil Young, an artist with a diverse catalog of musical styles over the last five decades. Secondly, doing sonic analysis ensures that the similarity reflects the actual music you have. While we are already using metadata for similar artists (and albums as well, although tbh we didn’t get a lot of data for this), needing to rely on metadata has two big downsides: There is a lot of music out there without metadata (think obscure Bandcamp artists or your high school band). The most obvious way the sonic data is useful is for showing similar artists, albums, and tracks. So what can we do with this new-found power? Quite a bit, it turns out…

This allows us to see how “close” anything in your library is from anything else, where distance is based on a large number of sonic elements in the audio. Once you enable Sonic analysis on a music library, all tracks, albums, and artists are processed in order to place them in a Musical Universe (math nerd? This musical universe consists of points in N-dimensional space).
