Summer Night City

211 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 97% — put it in G minor, a key signature of 2 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 211 readings; 97% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 130.2 to 131.3 BPM.

At 130.4 BPM one beat lasts 460.1 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 115 ms and a dotted eighth 345.1 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 65.2 BPM, counted twice as fast 260.8. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441.3 Hz, which is 5 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — the sort of drift a tape machine or a slightly different mastering leaves behind. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 3.41 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.952 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
