Abstract
The system and method described here relate to the effective organization of a media database. The media database can include music and can bring together time, place, genre, and artist with curator and community commentary and recommendations, cultural events and elements, media content, and a facility for procurement of related materials. The consistent focus of these fundamental elements of music and principles of organization provides a unique user experience that is a key aspect of the current invention. The user can interact with the media database using voice commands.

A computer-implemented method for temporal and geographic presentation and navigation of linked cultural, artistic, and historic content, comprising:
- providing a processor configured to register collections of music and music-related information in a database and to make the collections of music and the music-related information available to users, wherein the collections of music and the music-related information are classified in the database by all of time, location, genre, and artist;
- the processor configured to provide a navigation facility for user selection of a combination of all of the time, the location, the genre, and the artist in connection with the collections of music and the music-related information, and for generating and presenting to a user in response to the user selection a corresponding map that includes independent images of all of music, its history, and culture with regard to the collections of music and the music-related information, wherein the navigation facility comprises an audio interface;
- wherein the culture presented on the map in response to the user selection comprises results that include independent images of all of fashion, film, literature, music, and news;
- wherein the processor is configured to generate and present to the user at least one animated mural comprising the images that depict a fundamental combination of the time, the location, the genre, the artist, and the culture in connection with the music-related information;
- wherein the animated mural comprises a dynamically animated selection of the images derived from the user selection;
- and wherein the images further comprise any of regions, cities, artists, news items, fashion trends, movies, books, and genres of art.
