Interactive visualization of the Discogs database
Musigree is an interactive visualization tool that maps the complex network of relationships between musicians, bands, and record labels. It provides a visual representation of the connections within the music industry, helping users discover new music and understand how artists and labels are interconnected.
All of Musigree's data is derived from the Discogs database, containing:
- 9 million artists
- 2 million labels
- 18 million releases
- Over 100 million different relationships
- Visit the https://musigree.com website
- Type an artist, band, or label name into the search box
- Explore the connections in the interactive visualization
- Click on nodes to see more information
- Double-click on any circle containing a plus-sign to reveal more connections
- Zoom in and out using the mouse wheel
- Small circles represent artists
- Large circles represent bands
- Squares represent labels or other companies involved in producing records
- Solid lines show artist / band membership and sub-label / parent-label relationships
- Dashed lines show pseudonyms between artists ("also known as" or "AKA" for short)
- Dotted lines show all kinds of other relationships (e.g., "artist X played guitar for artist Y")
The graph shows approximately 100 items at a time for performance reasons. Double-click on nodes with plus-signs to expand and see more connections.
