Today Muse launched the Social Connectome (http://connectome.muse.mu/), a 3-D Google Chrome
visualization of the Muse fanbase, created in homage to the Human Connectome project which inspired the artwork
for the band's forthcoming new album The 2nd Law, due out on
October 2nd via Warner Bros. Records.
The Social Connectome allows people to add themselves to a
3-D visual network of Muse fans, build their own branch of friends and unlock
an exclusive track from The 2nd Law. As more and more fans join the
network, incremental 30-second clips of the new track "The 2nd Law:
Isolated System" will be revealed. Each branch is made up of unique
recommendations, most of which will be made via Facebook and Twitter. The
Connectome can be moved in 3-D space, zoomed in and will pulse to the music
when the track is unlocked. This is next level web technology.
Muse is Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris
Wolstenholme. Since forming in 1994, they have released five studio
albums selling upwards of 15 million albums worldwide. The group's last
album The Resistance reached Number 1 in 19 countries around
the world, and they have won numerous awards around the world including a Best
Rock Album Grammy Award and an American Music Award for The Resistance.
Muse will release their new studio album The 2nd Law on
October 2nd and will tour the world in support of it. On October 6th the band
will return to Saturday Night Live for a live performance.
