#043 | 💎 Escaping the Algorithm: The Sound Vault 🥁
Discover The Sound Vault - a curated music newsletter featuring rare world music, forgotten classics, and hidden gems beyond algorithmic recommendations.
I launched The Sound Vault as a simple idea: share good music that people might not discover otherwise.
What It Does
Each newsletter features handpicked songs—rare world music, forgotten classics, contemporary gems that deserve attention. I choose tracks based on their uniqueness and quality, not what's trending.
The format is straightforward. You get a few carefully selected songs with brief context about why they're worth hearing. No overwhelming playlists or lengthy reviews.
Why It Exists
Streaming algorithms keep us in musical bubbles. They suggest more of what we already know instead of expanding our taste. I wanted to fix that with human curation.
I find songs from different cultures, decades, and genres that connect in unexpected ways. The goal is discovery, not just entertainment.
Who It's For
People who want to hear something genuinely new. Music lovers tired of algorithm recommendations. Anyone curious about sounds beyond their usual rotation.
If you enjoy discovering music through friends' recommendations rather than machine learning, this newsletter recreates that experience.
Check it out if you're interested in expanding what you listen to.
