This is so fascinating! And... somehow shiver-inducing creepy: https://open.spotify.com/track/680Xyj7IgbBioIZ8BylEkJ?si=572...

This is almost certainly generated as well, found through a recommendation series from the article.

It's so creepy because it feels like something that isn't made by a human, like composition uncanny valley!

Edit: As a side note, you should be careful to not like the music in this article. I suspect it will poison your Discover Weekly and other algorithmically generated playlists as they seem to be based on other listeners' data.



OK, so if you want to force the recommendation system to generate similar music, of course you can use the "Go to song radio" feature on Spotify.

Here are some other interesting seeds.

* 0:47 seed (Romilda Prime): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8NyZRPJ6i5rq?si=...

* Venera Fanucci seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8PTURLXiSzw3?si=...

* Scars Hayden seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8NLdq3OfZZrl?si=...

* Chinpe seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8O73Ntg828PD?si=...

This one is interesting because even the album art is generated, rather than stock. The artist names are usually all uppercase. Perhaps a different author, but the techniques seem the same.

* Western Wilds seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8LLKjmBVSRwb?si=...

(See also Exboro Key, Defiant Leather, Gallisle Isle...)

* Hollow Linen seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8PeWgO6Bpowe?si=...

* Surrane Path seed: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E8NCJ0IQOCfKi?si=...

This is a broken classical music generator, perhaps the most interesting!
