Wow that is a lot of music. With this you have so much music right at your fingertips. If you are in the mood for new music everyday and have a wide taste I think this would be perfect for you. It would allow you to explore music that you would never even consider listening to. Like I have never considered listening to, or even knew that “Danish jazz” was a genre that I could listen to, but I would so be down for trying it out. I wonder what is different from American jazz and Danish jazz and how the cultural difference in these counties have played into a difference in the creation and composition of these different music subgenres both within the same overarching genre of jazz. I’m also curious what the process was when collecting all of the information and putting so much information in one location.
This is such an interesting tool. It really allows you to understand and explore the diversity of music. There are so many genres, including many that I did not even know existed. I think this is a great way to demonstrate to viewers and users that the world of music is so much bigger than you could have ever imagined. It is a testament to the medium that there are so many different genres of music to learn about and enjoy. This also seems like a great way for people to find new music that they come to like, and maybe people will develop new likes and dislikes as a result of it.
