Submarine

134 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 99% — put it in G minor, a key signature of 2 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 134 readings; 84% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 111.6 to 117.7 BPM.

At 111.6 BPM one beat lasts 537.6 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 134.4 ms and a dotted eighth 403.2 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 55.8 BPM, counted twice as fast 223.2. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441.5 Hz, which is 6 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 4.53 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 0.767 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
