    In short

    Ann Clue at Cercle Festival 2024 (Concorde Stage) by Ann Clue scores 85/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (91/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (83/100).

    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (13:00, 31:00, 34:30, 40:00, 44:00, 51:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    What to try next

    • Introduce more melodic variation to break the industrial monotony.
    • Experiment with longer breakdowns to build higher emotional tension.
    • Use more aggressive mid-range EQ cuts during transitions for added dynamism.
    • Experiment with longer, more atmospheric breakdowns.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 91/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 83/100.

    Analysis coverage for this file is 100% — the share of the set the engine could measure with full confidence.

    Energy and structure

    The energy curve was sampled at 39 points, moving between 75 and 95 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

    7 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 317.0 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 17 ms.

    How this score is built

    Measured layer (DSP): the audio file is analysed directly — beat grid, tempo stability, loudness and energy. These values are measurements, not opinions.

    Listening layer: a multi-agent pass reads musical intent — programming, storytelling, coherence and crowd effect. This layer interprets, it does not measure.

    Fusion and ceilings: the two layers are merged, and the measured layer always wins on execution. When the DSP hears an execution problem, it caps the final score even if the listening layer is positive.

    Measured coverage for this file is 100% of the set.

    This report is produced automatically from the published recording. It measures what is present in the audio file: a bad source encoding, a partial upload or a heavily processed broadcast version can change the measured values. Nothing here reflects the room, the crowd or the night itself.
