Visualizing songs with self similarity matrices (Quick & Easy) #1213

I discovered a way of representing repetitions in music by analysing the lyrics and creating a self similarity matrix. I saw this technique on YouTube, in a Ted Talk video entitled "Pop Music is Stuck on Repeat | Colin Morris | TEDxPenn".

This could make a very beginner friendly coding challenge ;) Here's my code on the p5 web editor, with the lyrics of the Coding Train Song :)

Here's an interactive demo ;)

We could also use the Levenshtein distance between words and color the cells by mapping the score to HSB colors ^^
