Outside the Wall

307 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 86% — put it in C major, a key signature of no sharps and no flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 307 readings; 9% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 90.6 to 139 BPM. That is a recording the detector cannot settle on — the readings are spread far enough that the median is a summary of a disagreement rather than a measurement anybody should trust to the decimal.

At 119.9 BPM one beat lasts 500.4 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 125.1 ms and a dotted eighth 375.3 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 60 BPM, counted twice as fast 239.8. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 443.1 Hz, which is 12 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 5.24 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 0.017 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
