## Instructions

1. Formulate a **search query** with description of a music genre you would like to listen to. Expected format is described below.
2. Explore **two generated recommendation rankings**: one is created by my system, one is generated using `gemini-2.0-flash`. Order is **randomized** each run.
3. Determine which ranking you prefer more.
4. Vote for your choice.
5. Wait for refresh and repeat as many times as you want.

## Expected Query Format

- The system was designed to support **3 categories** of music genre descriptors:
  - **Subjective**: Emotional & perceptual qualities, desired **inner feeling** (melancholic, energetic)
  - **Purpose-Based**: Listening setting, context, suitable activities, scenario (party, workout)
  - **Technical**: Musical & production attributes, **HOW the sound is made** (instrumentation, timbre, tempo, lo-fi)
- **Other descriptors are out of scope of the current implementation**:
  - I kindly ask you to only use the above 3 categories for your queries
  - Usage of cultural, historical, etc. descriptors can lead to suboptimal results
- You can make the descriptors **as complex and poetic as you want**, but I kindly ask you to **limit your query to a couple of sentences**

## Query Examples

- `Music for deep relaxation with echoing sounds and heavy bass, perfect for unwinding after along day`
- `Music that feels like the echo of a forgotten world—slow, sorrowful. Guitars and distant vocals create the sensation of a long, drifting sleep on the edge of melancholy and oblivion.A soundtrack to isolation, it slowly pulls you into the depths of existential despair.`
- `Raw and filled with aggression, high-energy drums, mosh-pit vibes, high bpm, guitars`
- `Music to study to, relaxing, chill with calm drums, some piano, and suitable for background`
- `Creamy and cozy, suitable for evenings with loved ones`
- `Dreamy instrumental music for midnight melancholia`
