Music Stream & Schedule
In the following, we outline how the Cloud One soundtrack came together, while taking a deep dive into the playlist creation.
The music profile is formed by the musical categories, which were derived, defined and described within the HearDis! audio branding process. It consists of carefully hand-picked music tracks and is regularly updated by HearDis!.
Thereby, the four deduced main music categories can not be regarded as independent. They are interlaced and overlaps between the categories can sometimes be heard even in a single musical piece. These overlaps however are essential in ensuring a fluid and dynamic music programming.
The outcome is a unique soundtrack of a city that is eclectic, open-minded, and always playful in its magical combination of styles and influences.
The Cloud One music profile contains music from the four main categories in equal amounts. To create the Cloud One soundtrack, we have developed a dramaturgy by utilising different proportions of these four categories. This results in a daily changing playlist, perfectly suited to the atmosphere inside the hotel.
To ensure that our playlists remain diverse every day, they are being generated by an algorithm rather than manual input. This algorithm follows rules which our music curators have previously defined in a schedule - similar to the one you know from school: it tells you which kind of music (style, tempo, timbre, etc.) plays at a specific time of the day.
So how are the playlists created then? The algorithm checks each song in the music profile against the defined rule for a certain time of day. When it finds one, the song gets added to the playlist. This process, being repeated continuously, therefore leads to a diverse and dramaturgically fitting playlist.
