Audyssey: Immersive Visualization of Popular Music Evolution

In this demo, we present a method to visualize the changes in pop music trends from 1958 to 2024 using Billboard Hot 100 chart data. We collected audio sources from YouTube and classified the music data by decade, from the 1960s to the 2010s, using a CNN model. The classified music data was then projected into a 3D space using UMAP and implemented as a VR experience. This allows users to visually and audibly experience the similarities and changes in music trends over time. This demo offers a new way to intuitively understand the temporal evolution of popular music.

Abstract

In this demo, we present a method to visualize the changes in pop music trends from 1958 to 2024 using Billboard Hot 100 chart data. We collected audio sources from YouTube and classified the music data by decade, from the 1960s to the 2010s, using a CNN model. The classified music data was then projected into a 3D space using UMAP and implemented as a VR experience. This allows users to visually and audibly experience the similarities and changes in music trends over time. This demo offers a new way to intuitively understand the temporal evolution of popular music.
