Visualisation of SoundCloud activity (30 second snapshot)
This visualisation is created as part of the Valuing Electronic Music project funded by AHRC at CeRch (KCL) and at the Open University. http://www.open.ac.uk/vem
The visualisation is based on data taken from a snowball sample of 1000 SoundCloud users interacting with each other in some way. The circles are music tracks that users have uploaded to the SoundCloud music social networking site.
When a user adds a track, this is shown by a green flash between the user avatar and the circle representing the track.
When a user comments on a track, this is shown by a yellow flash between the avatar and the track circle.
Groups of track circles clustered together represent where one user has uploaded multiple tracks to SoundCloud.
