Musiclens - Music Discovery Visualization

Saturday, July 15, 2006


Visit the Musiclens website

There are many search tools for finding new music on the web. Just type in, "artist, genre or title and you'll find some results. Ho Hum. I've been forced to use this same music search paradigm for years. However, there is a new breed of music sites cropping up that will give you new ways to discover new music. "Musiclens enables users to find pieces of music using very vaguely described criteria, such as loudness (perceived volume), mood or purpose. The search or recommendation query can be enhanced or limited by adjusting the ten navigation control sliders". This site works well and has a great visualization tool.

there are a lot of musical visualisators and this is a typical one. Nice but not more.

Awesome idea, but I’m not sure whether it works

This is one of the greatest tools i´ve ever used in this area. It is a very precise way to find any song you hardly know. If tried it with very complicated songs in the Metal Area and it works. There is only a small problem with unique voices such as John Farnham - You´re the voice, but that´s ok. I wish they had a Windows Program so that one can use the program offline too.

@sacca - Been there with the gas station egg salad problem. I'm vegan now, but I would still consider those tasty sandwiches a weakness. :)
