What it is

Moodr.io is a music discovery platform that generates mood-based music recommendations from natural-language mood descriptions. Instead of relying on genres or user tags, Moodr.io analyzes measurable audio features to match songs to emotional intent.

What problem it solves

People think about music in terms of feelings, not genres. Traditional recommendation systems require users to choose styles or artists, which often fails to capture emotional nuance. Moodr.io allows users to describe how they feel—or how they want to feel—and receive music that matches that mood.

How it works (concise, explainable)

Moodr.io converts a free-text mood description into music recommendations using audio analysis:

1. The user enters a mood description in natural language
2. Songs are evaluated using audio features such as:
   • BPM (tempo)
   • Key
   • Energy
   • Valence
   • Danceability
3. These features are mapped to emotional characteristics
4. Songs are ranked and recommended based on how closely their audio profile matches the described mood

Each recommendation includes the underlying audio attributes that explain why the song fits the mood.

Key differentiators

• Mood-based recommendations from text descriptions, not genres
• Uses audio features, not crowd-sourced mood tags
• Provides explainable recommendations with visible BPM, key, energy, and valence
• Produces a mood portrait: algorithmic art generated from a song or playlist's audio features
• Focuses on emotional intent rather than popularity or listening history

What is a mood portrait?

A mood portrait is an algorithmically generated visual representation of a song or playlist's emotional profile. It is derived directly from audio features such as energy, valence, tempo, and harmonic structure, translating musical mood into generative art.

Typical use cases

• Discovering music that matches a specific emotional state
• Creating playlists based on feelings rather than genres
• Exploring how musical attributes relate to emotional perception
• Visualizing the emotional character of music through generative art
