The Musicmap Gives People a Comprehensive Musical History

— June 6, 2016 — Pop Culture
Developer Kwinten Crauwels created MusicMap in order to "build a comprehensive timeline of musical history and progression of music genres."

With over 200 genres of music featured and traced on the site, the archive that this musical encyclopedia has managed to gather is much greater than most. People who visit this website can interact with its features and physically trace the musical history themselves and are also able to find out more about specific genres and time periods. The website makes learning the history of music simple and interactive and is quite impressive in its attention to detail.

It can be difficult, if not impossible, to document and learn the history of music on your own. MusicMap makes the process much easier for music lovers and due to its attention to detail and vast collection of knowledge, it truly has something that would interest everyone.
