Musicovery - a visual radio

Building on Frederic Vavrille's Liveplasm site (a visual search engine he created 3 years ago), Mr. Vavrille has created a visually-entertaining web radio where listeners select music from a mood-energy matrix or from a genre selection box. Manuel Lima states that Mr. Vavrille combined sound from Pandora and Last.FM with Liveplasm to create a dynamic mind-map of related music. He calls it Musicovery

Some have reported that it doesn't work quite right - songs won't stop and the classification needs work. But I think it's a whole lot of fun! And, you have to admit it's a great looking piece of human-computer engineering.

Check it out!
