Since the end of Second World War, musical content has
become widely used as a means of mass distraction, and a
whole economy has grown around its creation and
distribution. Musical successes, i.e. so-called “hits”, can
indeed earn large amounts of money. However, the archetype
of a “hit” has drastically evolved across times, from Elvis
Presley early work to late electronic music like Daft Punk.
Interestingly, music is a physical phenomenon, and many
tools can be invoked to qualify a given piece. The Fourier
spectrum of course, but also the average beat-per-minute, the
existence of specific rhythmic features, like syncope, patterns
and their repetitions, the use of specific tonalities, or even colored notes.
The internship aims at investigating whether the evolution of the public’s taste in terms of musical content can be characterized using physical analysis: what does success correlate with? One simple question here is how “pleasing beat-per-minute” has evolved in the past thirty years and why.
The work will consists in first scraping a large corpus of musical content from the
Internet, and an associated measure of individual success (Number of sales, views,
reviews…). The intern will then extract music-driven physical markers from the corpus, and correlate them with this measure. Finally, the temporal evolution of the successful markers will be analyzed and discussed in light of endogenous (physiology…) and exogenous (social media driven acceleration of content sharing, …)
