Welcome to BehindTheMusicTree! 🌳

Welcome to BehindTheMusicTree, an ecosystem of interconnected open-source projects designed to transform how we explore, understand, and organize music. We're thrilled to have you here!

🎵 Our Mission

BehindTheMusicTree aims to create a global, authoritative reference that serves as the foundation for music discovery, exploration, and understanding. Through our comprehensive framework, we're building tools that reflect the full diversity of global music culture, empowering communities to share and celebrate their musical traditions.

🌍 Our Vision: Building the ultimate music genre reference and transforming the way the world navigates and understands music—where your journey, your collection, and your community thrive.

📌 Where the ecosystem is documented

We keep one place for public project presentation, structure, and deep descriptions (so READMEs in each repo do not go stale):

What Where
Live portfolio — explore every project, status, and demos themusictree.org and Projects
Source for that site — copy, project pages, routing the-music-tree-frontend (src/app/projects/, etc.)
README “Ecosystem” snippets — templates and /projects/… slugs for sibling repos docs/ECOSYSTEM_READMES.md in the-music-tree-frontend
Shared UI, tokens, and components organization-assets (@behindthemusictree/assets)

Each codebase’s own README still covers clone, env, run, and contribute for that repo only.
