Utilizing athletic activities to augment audible compositions

An apparatus comprising:

• a sensor;
• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• determine, based on performing a sonic analysis of each segment of a plurality of segments of a song, values for a plurality of sonic characteristics associated with each segment;
• initiate playback of one or more layers of a plurality of layers of the song;
• determine, based on receiving physical activity information derived from sensor data collected from the sensor, an activity level of a user;
• determine, based on the activity level of the user and the plurality of sonic characteristics of a current segment of the song, a next segment of the song to transition to from the current segment;
• determine a plurality of pathways between the current segment and the determined next segment, wherein each pathway of the plurality of pathways comprises one or more segments of the song;
• for each pathway of the plurality of pathways, determine, based on a duration of the one or more segments of the song associated with the pathway, a pathway score for the pathway;
• determine, based on selecting a pathway having a pathway score indicating a shortest pathway duration, a first pathway of the plurality of pathways to reach the determined next segment;
• and
• initiate playback of the one or more segments of the song associated with the first pathway.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

• determining, based on performing a sonic analysis of each segment of a plurality of segments of a song, values for a plurality of sonic characteristics associated with each segment;
• initiating playback of one or more layers of a plurality of layers of the song;
• determining, based on receiving physical activity information derived from sensor data, an activity level of a user;
• determining, based on the activity level of the user and the plurality of sonic characteristics of a current segment of the song, a next segment of the song to transition to from the current segment;
• determining a plurality of pathways between the current segment and the determined next segment, wherein each pathway of the plurality of pathways comprises one or more segments of the song;
• for each pathway of the plurality of pathways, determining, based on a duration of the one or more segments of the song associated with the pathway, a pathway score for the pathway;
• determining, based on selecting a pathway having a pathway score indicating a shortest pathway duration, a first pathway of the plurality of pathways to reach the determined next segment;
• and
• initiating playback of the one or more segments of the song associated with the first pathway.
