The Man Comes Around: and so does his sound!
summary
Uses topic modeling, spectrum analysis, acoustic vectors to label 16 early and 7 late gospel tracks and to cluster Johnny Cash’s catalog with “The Man Comes Around” as fulcrum. Claims and demonstrates that the song is the most acoustically distinctive, sits far from both early and late gospel means, and that late-period gospel shows a broader sonic range. Builds visualizations from ML-derived audio attributes and confirms the hypothesis numerically.
