The Shelves

29 genres with real weight in the room — 363 more live in the catalogue without a page yet. The catch-all “eclectic” shelf (1,415 tracks that refuse a bucket) deliberately has no page: refusing the bucket is the point.

The field

155 genres, every one with eight or more tracks, standing where its own records sit — melancholy → euphoric across, ambient → driving up · bigger = more of it in the room · color = cerebral ◀▶ groove · the 29 named shelves are clickable (drag sideways on a narrow screen — the field pans). Inside the room this field is alive: click a word there and the dials go to it.
