Take a look at Kurt’s weekend hack to make a visualization of the Echo Nest artist similarity space. Very nice. Can’t wait for Kurt to make it interactive and show artist info. Neat!

Hi!
(this is not really related to your post, sorry) I´m very fascinated by your work and got excited back in May when I saw your announcement that Echo Nest was going to help Spotify with music recommendations. Do you have any idea if and when (and perhaps in which way) this will happen? Thanks.

Hi Jack – can’t say anything about this officially yet. Sorry!

Looks to me like you just need to zoom in using the Seadragon “+” button to get artist data…
