While I was waiting for replies to come in (and respond to) I looked into the Web Audio API. Since I was so new to the topic, I posted a question to Twitter about what data I could even possibly get about music. To create a data-based “fingerprint” for the song. For this project I knew from the start that I wanted to use the characteristics of song itself, alongside the data about its streams and chart entries. I’ve visualized data about music, but never data that was directly based on the music itself.

Sony Music has already released six high quality posters that you can download for free (and have printed for example) in this blog! And they’re going to be sharing many more in the future ^_^ The final poster design, using the data from the song Adore You by Harry Styles I’m very happy that I truly like this song, because I’m not sure if many others have heard this song more often than me by the time I finished (*^▽^*)ゞ Well, that sounded like an amazingly fun project to sink my teeth into so I enthusiastically agreed!īTW, streams are also counted towards a gold record, with 1,500 audio or video streams counting as 10 track sales or one album sale.īelow you can see the final result based on the song “Adore You” by Harry Styles, the base song that I used for most of the development. But in these days of data being tracked everywhere and listening to music online, could I develop a more data art inspired version of a gold record using data from the actual streams, charts and the song itself. The artist generally receives a framed vinyl or CD. When a single or album sells more than a certain amount of units they become a gold or platinum record.

In April, Sony Music Entertainment reached out to me with a really interesting project idea. Posted on SeptemData art posters about music (streaming) data for Sony Music
