Show HN: Beta test our vector embeddings for electronic music discovery (sonophase.com)

I extracted 500K embeddings for a curated collection of electronic music: techno, house, drum and bass, ambient, electronica, dub reggae etc.

Archives is a new platform to discover independent music and explore the electronic musical landscape.

You can search for music using natural language or use similarity search to find acoustically similar tracks. You can also save tracks to your ‘archive’.

It’s great for finding new music for mixes, and samples for beat making.

I'm searching for songs like Anotherclock by Parcels.

The first one is this ambient electronic song, the next is some reggae, which don't feel very similar to Anotherclock to me.

How does it determine acoustic similarity?


it’s fetches the most acoustically similar tracks in the collection, which could be in terms of instrumentation, mood, texture, FX, harmony, rhythm.

We don’t know the exact causes, since it uses continuous similarity in terms of multidimensional deep embeddings.

With Anotherclock, it sounds like it’s finding tracks that have similar acoustic percussion samples, rhythms and plucky guitar strums
