Every Noise at Once

What Every Noise at Once actually is

Glenn McDonald's scatterplot arranges thousands of algorithmically identified genres by texture, with organic and atmospheric sounds toward one edge and dense mechanical ones toward the other. Clicking any label plays a representative track immediately.
