About the perceptron

Thank you Epitonic, Opentape, Seeqpod, Myspace, Tiny Mix Tapes, The Hype Machine, Muxtape, Muxtape Stumbler, last.fm, Emusic, and Wikipedia.

Because it is based on real people's music tastes, the perceptron understands that you might like both experimental music and pop, both hardcore and folk.

The site's suggestions come from artists who admire each other, music critics, artists who feature on the same mp3 blog, lists of artists who are on the same label, artists who often appear on mixtapes together, people's music buying habits, user suggestions and lists of artists who have played shows together. Further, the site learns from your behaviour and skews recommendations towards your music taste.
