Before we get into the details,
I have a little thinking experience for you.
Imagine all the music that has been written in the history of mankind.
This means every individual piano concert since the seventh century until now,
All DJ, All Techhouse Music, All Remix, Remix and Remix
Each tribal hymn on a remote inhabited island,
Each rock album, all soundtrack to all the films that were made,
Every Pop song at concerts and events – for, even Justin Bieber –
All, combined. (Laughter)
What will we have then? Massive amount of music.
The quantity is incomprehensible.
It is too much, as an integrated space, where every star represents a song.
But unlike real space, the music space is not visible.
Which makes it very difficult to discover where we are and where we are going.
Fortunately, there is a focus on similar songs, or albums
In this space we can use them as reference points.
These concentrations are simply defined as (patterns).
As you can see, the musical style is not technically rated in fact,
It’s like a road point that can guide us through this space
We can be considered a reference point.
Now, we need a way to combine these words into vocabulary
Or to link these road points to a map.
I tried to find something like this map nine years ago,
Because I was convinced it was somewhere.
So I looked at all the Internet and it really is a world of kabber.
(Laughter)
I found a lot of important things
But it was not really what I was thinking.
I tried so rashly to make the map myself, and after eight years of painting,
Search, assembly,
I have finally come up with a fairly acceptable map design,
Which I later tried to make as an online exploration tool: musicmap.info
But before we go to the results, there is something very important
I want to share with you tonight,
It is the most important thing I learned during this period
It is also the answer to all those questions.
(Did not we use styles as marker points?)
Let me give you some examples of what I mean.
Blues music, which tells the story of the only stray musician
Who has nothing to lose, fighting poverty or injustice,
He sows the seeds of famous music without knowledge to grow.
Or what about the punk revolution?
Music to demonstrate against the government and psychological tolerance at the same time,
Forming countless sub-patterns and subsequent movements
As the fundamental revolutionary catalyst –
This sounds like something we can use today, right?
What about the origin of house music?
He painted the expansion of generations and united people all over the globe
Through love and happiness through the universal language of rhythm.
(Laughter)
Perhaps it is also something we can use today.
(clap)
Wait, wait, there’s still more, let’s remember the test power of hip-hop
Who sees music as part of a real art work with graffiti and belly dancing,
But it also builds bridges between races,
This is precisely what we need today.
These are not empty words.
Music styles are not categorized categories, invented by people
It took a lot of time and they invented it on their hands like me.
They are often social movements that challenge power,
Or charters, and interact with other patterns
But it also serves as a vital tool to unify music rather than divide it,
That’s why I think she deserves a note to classify her baskets appropriately,
Rather than finding the definitions consumed to a degree unrelated to the truth.
Now let us call these patterns that I have seen some parables about
The patterns are miraculous, because they are very large and impressive
So much so that they give it sub-patterns and so on,
While in itself they evolve and transform over time.
How can we combine all these supernatural patterns?
With its sub-patterns within a single visible map?
Well, there are several ways so obvious, but let me show you a result
What was once a faint imagination, by a small review.
Here we present a dramatic projection of the famous music space,
Which is just a space of several musical worlds, followed by classical music,
Global music, and so on.
We also have all those different supernatural styles
In their colors, matrix each with the other.
As you can see, here is the punk again, here are the blues and here’s the house.
If we press each of these, we find a short description
But also a list of various sub-patterns.
We can also enlarge the map, to reveal the entire network
Of the different types of music that guide us through this space.
Research shows about a thousand different subtypes
But the challenge here is to limit this amount,
To balance accuracy and accessibility.
Now we can go wherever we want on this map,
But the upper section always describes the past, and the lower section of the future.
Let’s go for reggae (music from Jamaica)
Here we are at the reggae and when we pass through it,
We see different types of lines that represent different relationships.
We can also press it, and again we get a simple description,
Anyone can be familiar with the language of patterns,
But also can learn and learn the history of music.
We can also see a small menu, but of course,
To understand the pattern seriously, we need the music itself.
There are more interactive things, and there is a more useful advantage
Or more fun feature is the classes,
Which allows you to turn on or off certain sections of the map
Thus giving a clearer appearance.
We can even turn off the text making the map turn
To the real star group style, which symbolizes the famous music network
From its earliest origins, the end of the nineteenth century until now.
Now go back to what we started with –
Visual interpretation of the famous music space –
But over time, I dream of hoping to make a full screen of music
It can reach us with huge databases or broadcast sites
Which we can use as a first-time visual exploration tool for all kinds of music,
A browser can also work seamlessly with the tools already in our hands
As recommendation algorithms, which suggest you music that you might like,
Or community encyclopedias on the Internet.
I have implemented the first step.
Now it’s up to you to start discovering music visually
And imagine what kind of experience you will get,
Because we need the energy of music and the social meaning of each of them,
Now more than ever.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
