Singing for the Stats
Is music industry becoming performative ? The academic project Singing for the Stats investigates the performativity of music industry with data visualization.
Singing for the Stats is born from a small team of students who took place as an academic project in BUT MMI. In our website, we decide to tackle one of the elephant in the room topic in music industry : performativity. In fact, we thought the need of a website that details the numbers around that subject was relevant considering the poor amount of data visualizations in this topic.
In the website, focusing on the front-end code part of it drive us to building data visualizers with fun interactions based on inspiration from music production and DAW softwares.
The branding of Singing for the Stats bases itself MIDI notes in DAWs combined to a colorful and neon color palette symbolizing the music production.
The page layout is designed like an audio editing timeline. The content is organized in blocks that gently animate to alight on the timeline.
The interactions are also on the same wavelength. Their design heavily mimick controls you would see on a mixing table of a recording studio.
This project was a great opportunity for me to experiment with page layout and dynamic with interactive components. I had fun designing and playing with inspiration to pull out a fun design while reaching new grounds with advanced front-end code and data visualization design.
