MAPS

Maps is a multi-touch application developed organizing electronic dance music on a 2D grid, and was presented at ISMIR 2009 in Kobe Japan. The application created a Self Organizing Map (SOM) that allowed users to browse a collection electronic dance music by touching colored squares. Each color represents a different "known" genre. This makes it interesting to see how tracks from different genres cluster together, and may expose similarities that cross genre boundaries.
