How feasible is it (maybe it's been done) to provide an objective musical analysis of this overwhelming (to me) array of musical styles? By this I mean - descriptive of the harmonic progressions and rhythmic patterns employed as one would analyze (for instance) a classical symphony?
- golergka 10y agoThere's a lot of informal analysis like this on the internet, but it usually looks as "how to write %genre_name%" guide. Of course, they aren't as good as real academic analysis, but they're usually good enough for most purposes and much easier to follow.
- vintermann 10y agoeverynoise.com does something like that. They don't describe their methodology in detail, but they use some sort of feature extractors to assign positions to genres (as some people have define them through song inclusion/exclusion) in a multidimensional space. I believe they use some form of PCA, so the axes aren't so easy to put names on, but it does give some indication of actual variation.
