I wrote Akin To to scratch a personal itch - I find music recommendation systems really boring. I search for John Coltrane, they all recommend Miles Davis. That's obvious and uninteresting.<p>I wanted to make a system that could suggest Squarepusher and Steve Reich by using the underlying themes and qualities of the music to make relevant and novel recommendations.<p>This thematic information already exists in music reviews, I've extracted adjectives from them and used them as a way to search, explore and compare album reviews. It kind-of works. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
