Ask HN: Looking for the Shazam for Song Fragments

Yesterday I was listening to Perfect Circle's "The Noose" and I noticed a particular pattern I really like about this song that I remember listening to in other songs, but there's no way to look for them.

It'd be great to have an app which receives some short fragment of a song and returns a list of songs containing similar sounding patterns.

Do you know if something like this already exists?

  • I'm not familiar with anything but, being a fan, I'm curious what part of "The Noose" you're referring to?

  • Do you think it would make more sense to analyze chord progressions or another aspect of the song to derive similar songs?
