Songtweak let’s you discover new music in an active way
Rather than just relying on wisdom of crowds and formulas for recommendations, Songtweak
provides you with a greater level of control so you can find more songs you like.
It was built on the observation that people might love a song for different reasons.
Therefore, all fans of the song might not necessarily like music recommendations
based on that song. Even when the recommendations are good, it’s often nice to receive
more.
How it works
Whenever you get default recommendations based on a song you like, Songtweak provides
you the opportunity to tweak them to fit your specific tastes. Let's say you really
like the beat of a particular song and want suggestions that emphasize the beat
more than other musical features of that song. Next to each list of suggestions
is a 'tweakbox' to do just that. Simply raise the beat slider to emphasize beat
similarity and click
to get songs with closer beats. Songtweak currently supports a variety of other
tweakable features like instrumentation and aggressiveness.
We are just getting started, and we are constantly improving the tweak results.
For example, there are lots of different musical properties that make up a song's
beat. Our goal is to find the ones that best represent beat similarity, so that
what you tweak matches what you hear. You can speed up improvements by voting on
the results. Voting and other feedback might even lead to new features to add to
the tweakbox.
Our Pool of Songs
Most songs we recommend have been gathered from the thousands of music blogs on
the web. Music bloggers work hard to uncover great songs - new and old. Populating
our service with these songs has led to a music discovery tool based on a pool of
thousands of well-curated songs. We are continually indexing blogs each day to keep
you on top of what music is being written about. If you are a blogger, artist, promoter,
or fan with new music to share, simply contact
us.
