Tracing musical influences

A large number of users have suggested testing a named modern song against a named old composition which they had noticed to be similar. Examples included a melody from a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie identified as having a direct influence on a composition from Les Miserables. Users were eager to get their hands on a tool which would help them test their claims.

Often a tune will remind one of a melody heard long ago. With access to the relevant historic music library mHashup can locate any matching material, or even the precise track one had been trying to remember. What's more, it can pull up the metadata about a found track and in this way enable a further search through the semantic web. A musical influence can then be traced with its full history and origin.
