Connections demo

Documented paths, with their evidence.

Pick a path below. Each hop links two artists who are credited on the same release, and shows the credit rows that prove it — scope, role text, and linked identity — normalized from Discogs, with the original role text kept intact.

Real Discogs data, a curated subset. These 8 releases and 8 paths are fetched from the Discogs API using a private seed list, then curated down to a small slice — deliberately too small a fraction to reconstruct real collection membership. Cover art is hotlinked directly from Discogs' own CDN, never downloaded or rehosted; see the provenance note below for details.

Credited participation only.

How to read this: an edge means two artists are credited on the same release or track. Linked identities (with an artist_id) can be path nodes; non-linked names are kept as evidence but never become playable identities.
