What's new
It grew arms and legs
everything that's landed, newest first.
it started as a way to build tandas and share them. that part still works, but it is no longer the only part.

one thing at a time instead of everything at once. a side, a singer's whole career, the same tango across every orchestra, a synced letra, a year plotted session by session.
an ai reads the letra and files a report: what the song is actually about, who did who wrong, and a toxicity score nobody asked for.
every composition has its own address now. tandabase.com/caricias, and there it is: who wrote it, every orchestra that cut it, the letra if there is one.
a tanda can be its own thing now, not four songs stuck inside a set. save it, tag it, rate it, drag it into whatever you build next. fork someone else's and it remembers whose it was.
a classroom for tandas. hand out a code, everyone submits their attempt, you curate the good ones into a live session, and the whole thing comes out the other end as a report you can send round.
who was actually in the room. the bandoneon line, the pianist who changed everything, laid over each orchestra's timeline.
an honest look at the gaps: which orchestras are filled in, which recordings still have no video, how far off complete this all is.
almost none of this is mine. the archives, catalogs and lifetimes of work it's built on, in one place.
a playlist of just the good bits, then fullscreen it and let people sing. the cortina is a vinyl scratch.
every name on a recording is a page now. who sang it, who wrote it, who they played with.
drop an mp3 straight onto a set. it reads the tags and matches the recording, orchestra and singer for you.
lyrics, big, in time. sing along at 2am, nobody's watching.
each line lights up in time with the recording. good for actually learning a song.
words on screen while it plays. started simple, same week it learned to sing.
the same tango, side by side, so you can hear how di sarli and pugliese disagree.
put two sets next to each other, see what they share and where they diverge, then save it as a little report to send.
a live x-ray of the set you're building: orchestras, genres, decades, repeats, all updating as you go.
guess the orchestra, the singer, the decade. train your ear by getting it wrong a lot. or play live in a room with friends.
concepts, singers, orchestras, each pinned to a real moment you can loop.
every orchestra's recordings laid out across the years. search, filter, play any of them.
paste an apple music export or a csv. it finds the tandas and the videos for you.
group songs into tandas, name the set, send someone a link. the whole point, and where it all started.
this is very much a work in progress. if something looks weird or broken, it's probably because i haven't gotten to it yet. feedback and feature requests are super appreciated.
