The Shape of Songs - Visualizing Song Structure

- the worlds of music and science collide -

When I played drums for my college's rock band, I needed a quick way to learn the drums fast for each new song we covered. Using some loose papers from my agenda book and some cool things I learned about the periodic table, I found a way to visualize the loose structure of any song we played - and maybe unlock a way to give a visual form to any song in the world.

I love how visually comparable these songs become as a result of this visualization method. Great work 😁

This is so underrated! Jesus you deserve more views, quality.

I really like the concept. The obvious downside is that, as a drummer, your metric for measuring the identity between the different sections will obviously focus mainly on rhythmic properties. So, for example, the variety introduced by a new instrument being brought in (or left out) will be ignored by this analysis and the two parts will be labelled the same. In the end, I think these diagrams will usually say as much about the musical tastes of the person making them as they do about the music itself, because determining which particular variations matter enough to warrant assigning a section of music a different class will depend on musical upbringing.

You made a visual programming language for creating songs. Like the programming language PIET. Now just apply this system to Jean Michel Jarre's "Oxygene Continuous Mix"

Suggestion: I think your current model/workflow could be expanded to include other aspects of a ‘pop’ song. One could map differing textures (vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines, spots, etc.) to represent other parameters of a song. One could varying the levels of brightness or colour mapping rules. Parameters that could be included could be… 1) key changes 2) types or number of instruments playing 3) major versus minor keys 4) chord progressions 5) measures of rhythmic complexity Etc. Hope you find these possibilities as exciting as I do.

WOW! Paradoxically (?) stunned into silence . . . into visuals . . . into . . . idk . . . So EPIC! One of, if not THE, most MIND BLOWN of my entire Life. And I’ve done very high doses of DMT thousands of times! Mayhaps that’s why—I too have glimpsed the same way to consider a Truth. Words incapable of expressing my gratitude to you, but Thank You! Keep us posted! Share what u bring back. Both your perspicaciousness and perspicacity considerable. Thank You.

Excellent visualization. I have been an audiophile all my life and I have often thought about song/performance structure. Your visualization brought a lot organization to my thinking. Thank you.

This video deserves a thousand times as many views, since almost everyone on YouTube has heard music. Please consider all the songs from the "Earth Crisis" album by Steel Pulse, "Jungle Pioneer" by Manhattan Transfer, "Rumpofsteelskin" by Parliament, and "Roto-Rooter" and "Sound Crack" by Bootsy's Rubber Band! You would love the whole albums "Brazil" and "Vocalese" by Manhattan Transfer.

Very good ! Thank you ! This kind of music visualisation can be very good for helping AI to create songs...

I Love Your Concept And it looks looks like we have similar taste in Music haha

Good job, this idea would be expanded, if we think about classical music structures, where the modulation process must be taken into account. Greetings from Colombia.
