Which song should I start with?
Frédéric Chopin: “Prelude in D-flat Major, Op. 28 No. 15 'Raindrop Prelude'” (93% feel-match); Edvard Grieg: “Sigurd Jorsalfar” (93% feel-match); Jean Sibelius: “Andante festivo” (94% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Sibelius centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Sibelius overall?
Across 2 measured songs, Sibelius averages 43/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
