Pick a sound
Start with what you want to hear. Sounds sit in families. Each one shows how many festivals rank for it, the artists booked most, and where it crosses into other sounds.
Festival counts use tagged lineups where enough names are tagged, and the recorded genre mix where they are not. Both move each year.

Read across a row and down a column to the cell where they meet. Each number counts artists whose tags include both sounds. The coloured diagonal counts every tagged artist who carries that sound, as a main or a second sound. Darker cells are the busiest crossings. When a sound page lists neighbouring sounds by artist, it uses these same counts.
