Crawling King Snake

139 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 75% — put it in E minor, a key signature of 1 sharp. The tempo printed above is the median of the 139 readings; 84% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 162.1 to 172.3 BPM.

At 162.2 BPM one beat lasts 369.9 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 92.5 ms and a dotted eighth 277.4 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 81.1 BPM, counted twice as fast 324.4. A score would mark that Vivace, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441 Hz, which is 4 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — close enough to standard that a tuner would not argue. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 6.05 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 0.411 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
