Show HN: Music Genre Classification App in Django
This is really interesting, and it reminds me of a game I used to play with my brothers as a kid. We&#x27;re all classical musicians, and we used to make mix tape challenges for each other when we were young. It would be a 1-second snippet of a piece of music followed by 4 seconds of silence. You had to name the piece before the next 1-second sample started to get a point.<p>If you didn&#x27;t know the specific piece, you could still get a point by guessing the nationality of the composer and the time it was written within 10 years. The available time period for music was anything from Pythagoras&#x27; time to the present day (would have been late 80s at the time we were playing.)<p>It ha to be reasonably describable as &quot;classical&quot; music. Not rock, jazz or blues or anything.<p>It was a hard fucking game for an 8-year-old, and we really worked each other over very hard.<p>I wonder if I could fork this and try to get it to tell the difference between, for example, Bach and Corelli, Mahler and Bruckner, or Zarlino and Palestrina.<p>Very cool project.
