The Compass
Six dimensions of how music feels.
Every track on Keel is mapped along six experiential axes. The Compass renders these as a living mood vector — your personal radar of sonic feeling.
Reverberant chamber to tight booth
Steady groove to frenzied peak
Feather-light melody to iron-low thud
Solo intimacy to full orchestration
One voice to dense harmonic mass
One flat line to sprawling odyssey

Move the bearing. Watch the radar catch up.
A live working prototype: one slider sweeps a six-axis mood vector and the ranked list re-sorts in real time against your exact shape — without a single stream count entering the math.
Why Keel
Recommendation as a conversation.
Every track is judged by its emotional fingerprint — stem-level analysis with MERT and HTDemucs — rendered as three-second mood vectors. A song with five hundred streams is measured against one with five hundred million, and only the feeling wins.
Stem-level analysis. MERT + HTDemucs decompose tracks so the model hears what humans hear.
Mood vectors. Continuous three-second emotional shapes, not genre tags or BPM numbers.
Clout-agnostic.Streams don't vote. Only the experience a song creates matters for discovery.
Feel first, fame never.
Five hundred streams or five hundred million — Keel treats every listen the same. Only the emotional shape of the song matters, so independent artists finally compete on equal footing.
Your Compass, not your feed.
Most services amplify what you already know. Keel maps your taste across six experiential dimensions and keeps that map alive between sessions, so the music grows with you.
Bearing sets the mood.
Set your heading — Deep Work, Late-Night Drift, Morning Clarity — and Keel surfaces tracks that match that exact emotional shape right now, not last Tuesday's playlist.
