What exactly is that doing? Is it analysing the song and trying to make a "perfect loop"?

- otoburb 10y agoThe visualization is known as a chord diagram[1][2], and these particular ones generated by Echo Nest show repetitions in the analyzed songs (e.g. chorus lines). A circle is a good starting visualization because there is a linear progression from beginning to end (single path) and the chord diagram lends itself well to the metrics Echo Nest is demonstrating.

- jorvi 10y agoPretty awesome.. really track dependent though. 'Veridis Quo - Daft Punk', 'Come to Daddy - Aphex Twin' and 'Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt - DJ Shadow' all give pretty great results but something like 'Trigger - In Flames' is.. mediocre at best.

It can lead to interesting effects (different extended solos, jumping around between choruses). It keeps the song going forever. To start click at the top of the circle after selecting a song.
