to scan, by eye
100 songs you'd never heard
looking for ones you might like
so you'd need a way to represent
their Pandora-style 'musical DNA'
as patterns of color
like: a rectangle
that's longer if the song is longer
that has a pink stripe
where there's female vocals
blue for male
lightcolored for sweetvocals
dark for harsh
closespaced vertical stripes
for fast-beat parts
wide for slow
subtle rhythms
distinguished, somehow
from ordinary ones
some kind of repeating symbol
for looping sequences
something messy for glitchy
primary colors for ordinary harmonies
bluesy colors for bluesy harmonies
subtle for subtle...?
