• Finding Music With Pictures: Data Visualization for Discovery

  by Paul Lamere

  With so much music available, finding new music that you like can
  be like finding a needle in a haystack. We need new tools to help
  us to explore the world of music, tools that can help us separate
  the wheat from the chaff.

  In this panel we will look at how visualizations can be used to
  help people explore the music space and discover new, interesting
  music that they will like. We will look at a wide range of
  visualizations, from hand drawn artist maps, to highly interactive,
  immersive 3D environments. We'll explore a number of different
  visualization techniques including graphs, trees, maps, timelines
  and flow diagrams and we'll examine different types of music data
  that can contribute to a visualization.

  Using numerous examples drawn from commercial and research systems
  we'll show how visualizations are being used now to enhance music
  discovery and we'll demonstrate some new visualization techniques
  coming out of the labs that we'll find in tomorrow's music
  discovery applications.
