The process
How a Song Zero is made.
01
Enter any song
Choose your anchor track. Any song, any genre, any era. Set how wide you want the genealogy — 5 to 30 tracks across roots and branches.
02
Watch it build
A 9-stage AI pipeline researches influence relationships, fact-checks claims, and writes historical blurbs — in real time. The wait is the experience.
03
Get your genealogy
An interactive visualization. A Spotify playlist. Per-track blurbs written like liner notes. Share the link or submit it for the curated archive.
“Not trivia. Not samples. Not a genre scatter-plot.
Cultural lineage — traced from one specific song
back through time and forward into its aftermath.”
