what is tane

how it works

Your soil (a set of tastes) plus today's seed decide one song. The same soil and the same day always grow the same bloom — it is deterministic, reproducible, nothing hidden. Genre is never guessed by a black box: it comes from tags the crowd already put on the music. Selection is plain rules you can follow, not a model you can't.

the algorithm you can read

Big platforms can't open their algorithm — engagement is the business. We can. The engine is meant to be open, the weights visible, every choice traceable back to its source.

the crowd defines the genres

No classifier decides what something is. Tags come from the people who listen — a shared vocabulary anyone can extend.

watering changes nothing in the ranking

Tapping a bloom is appreciation for the artist. It grows the flower in front of you. It does not feed any algorithm and there is no leaderboard.

fame-blind

Famous or unknown, everything is judged by your soil and transparent signals alone. No popularity bias, no payola — so underground music finally stands on fair ground.

we don't exploit artists

Artists and venues are never charged. No payola. The side that searches pays, never the side that makes. The core stays free, forever.

who makes this

Built by greymoth, solo. A quiet act of dissent against feeds that scroll forever.

how do i discover underground music every day?

Open TANE once a day and one underground track blooms — chosen from the tags the crowd already put on the music and the soil of tastes you've watered, never a black-box model. Same day, same soil, same song: you can read exactly why.

what is transparent music discovery?

Most apps hide why they recommend a song, because engagement is the business. Transparent discovery means the weights are visible and every pick traces back to its source — TANE is built that way on purpose.

how is tane different from spotify or algorithmic recommendations?

No engagement-maximising feed, no popularity bias, no payola, no rankings. Famous or unknown, a song is judged only by your soil and open signals — so underground music stands on fair ground.

why are there no likes, rankings or numbers?

Numbers turn listening into a scoreboard. Watering a bloom is private appreciation for the artist; it grows the flower in front of you and feeds no algorithm. One song a day, no chase.

is tane free? do artists pay?

The daily bloom is free, forever. Artists and venues are never charged — the side that searches pays, never the side that makes.
