If you’re looking for one of the most powerful music discovery tools ever created, spend some time exploring this:
Built by Glenn McDonald, Every Noise at Once maps thousands of music genres and artists using Spotify data, allowing you to discover new sounds, genres, artists and scenes from all over the world. It’s essentially a giant interactive map of modern music.
A few ways artists can use it:
• Discover artists similar to your sound
• Find niche genres that better describe your music
• Research scenes and markets around the world
• Identify potential playlist opportunities
• Explore what fans of similar artists are listening to
• Find inspiration outside your usual listening habits
One challenge many independent artists face is that they only listen within their immediate genre. Some of the most exciting creative breakthroughs happen when you start exploring the edges of your musical world.
Challenge for this week:
- Search your artist name.
- Find the genres Spotify associates with your music.
- Explore 3 neighbouring genres you’ve never heard of.
- Share one artist you discovered below 👇
I’ve found some absolute gems using this over the years. Curious to see what everyone uncovers.
