Explore musical neighborhoods
The SpaceDJ prototype projects musical-style embeddings onto a two-dimensional map, so you can navigate relationships between sonic ideas.
Music discovery through latent-space exploration
Follow your curiosity through sound.
Explore a landscape of musical styles, textures and affinities. Move between familiar sounds, hear unexpected combinations, and discover the spaces in between.

Existing foundations
A musical landscape you can navigate.
Listen as you move
Map position informs weighted prompts that steer real-time music generation. The prototype lets you explore how nearby and more distant styles combine.
Let curiosity set the route
Direct navigation, map presets and an autopilot mode provide different ways to explore a sound world and discover a direction you want to revisit.
Next development stage
Give exploration a sense of direction.
Sotto is the public product vision built on SpaceDJ: a more elegant listening experience for curious listeners and music creators, centered on discovery through latent-space exploration.
We plan to use Claude as an exploration guide: translate an everyday listening intention into musical descriptors and prompt weights, suggest journeys through related styles, and help articulate what makes a discovered sound appealing. Audio generation is provided by the existing music-model integration.
The next milestone is a focused listening pilot to evaluate the usefulness of guided exploration, the clarity of the map and a sustainable paid experience. Claude-guided discovery is planned and has not yet been shipped.
