Software: "Music intelligence" systems that can distinguish hits from misses could change the way pop music is made and marketed...The versificator, a machine described in George Orwell's novel "1984", automatically generated music for the hapless masses...
>>It was once thought laughable that a human being could be taken out of the creative process, but with today's software, not that many people are laughing, the execs are laughing their way to the bank maybe...
The software uses a process called "spectral deconvolution" to isolate and analyse around 30 parameters that define a piece of music, including such things as sonic billiance, octave, cadence, frequency range, fullness of sound, chord progression, timbre and "bend" (variations in pitch at the beginning and end of the same note). "songs conform to a limited number of mathematical equations," says Mike McCready of Platinum Blue, a music intellegence company based in New York...from the Economist...
Anyways, I also found this music map that when you plug in a band or musician, it will map what other artists might be likable...Needs some work, but it's interesting...The closer one musician/band is to another, the more likely you are to enjoy them...
