This House Is on Fire

147 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 100% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 147 readings; 88% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 113.5 to 120 BPM.

At 113.9 BPM one beat lasts 526.8 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 131.7 ms and a dotted eighth 395.1 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 57 BPM, counted twice as fast 227.8. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441.8 Hz, which is 7 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 1.94 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 0.947 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
