What is the FUSES Model?
FUSES stands for Forceful, Urban, Sophisticated, Earthy and Smooth. Your music traits cross music genres. For example. if one of your traits is “forceful”, you might like AC/DC’s "Back in Black," Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, and Puff Daddy’s "Victory." Our research team has carefully chosen a small number of musical prototypes or “probes” that research has shown can help to better understand a given individual’s musical tastes. The prototypes are the result of more than 10 years of research using tens of thousands of respondents, both on the internet and in laboratory settings.
The science: You, under the microscope
Can the style of music you like most help you find your dream job? Our scientists have developed research techniques that look across seemingly unrelated areas. Through rigorous science and computational power we are able to see patterns emerge in the relationships between these subject areas. Signal Patterns is made up of industry leaders and seasoned veterans in science, psychology and music.
