We listen to music for at least a couple of hours every single day. Thanks to various online streaming services, music is now available to anyone anywhere. However, have you ever wondered about the ingredients of your favourite track that is pumped through your headphone to your ears? Google seems to take this opportunity to educate people about various elements of music that make a catchy soundtrack through Inside Music.
Inside Music is an experimental website hosted by Google for educating people about all the elements that make a song or soundtrack. Google has collaborated with the popular podcast Song Exploder along with artists such as Phoenix, Perfume Genius, Natalia Lafourcade, Ibeyi, Alarm Will Sound, and Clipping for using their popular tracks as samples that can be peeled layer by layer.
The website supports WebVR, which means that you will be able to experience Inside Music with your VR headset. Even if you don’t have a VR headset, you still experience the website in 360-degree view by dragging the screen around. The user is offered with six soundtrack options, each of which will have discrete options to enable or disable each element of that soundtrack. Therefore, you will able to hear the song without the drum beats or lyrics or whatever you fancy.
Inside Music is available on every smartphone or computer — all you need to do is open it through a browser. If your inner musician or your curiosity is pushing you to have a look at this website once, then you can check it out at https://experiments.withgoogle.com/webvr/inside-music/view/.
