The Colour of My Love

133 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 100% — put it in F minor, a key signature of 4 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 133 readings; 99% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 110.3 to 111.5 BPM.

At 110.3 BPM one beat lasts 544 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 136 ms and a dotted eighth 408 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 55.2 BPM, counted twice as fast 220.6. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 434.2 Hz, which is 23 cents below 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 7.12 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 0.338 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
