For mapping the collection, there's multiple way to do this and to visualize this. Unfortunately I wasn't present in the class about this with Rogerio because of me being ill. But I went to Côme, and he shared his insights with me. On the left you see a visualization of a round diagram build up from little squares. The little squares represent music covers from the collection mapped together.

Further into the project we started researching what music could be found the Ninja Tune website. What genres are there? Which artist do we know? What does the music sound like? How much music is there?

We started listening to the music and selecting the best music cover combinations. We found that there is so much music on there, that it was best for us to narrow it down and make a playlist of some nice finds.

Here's a little overview of the first 36 covers we selected (along with songs). Our selection is going to be narrowed down quite a lot during the process, but we have enough to choose from.

Our first attempt to select the specific samples out of songs, resulted in me listening to our playlist and writing down timestamps for interesting song parts. We didn't end up using this at the end.

When we finalized our concept and final prototype we decided to look at all the music again. Côme spend an evening curating all the music to have the best selection for Polysono.
We used these songs on the left and their covers to include in the 'sample book' and eventually in the application as well.
