About

We all have that moment where you finish a book or a film or an album and you want more of whatever that art stirred up inside you. A moment of melancholy knowing you won’t be able to experience that feeling for the first time again, and so you hope to chase it with other art.

As you go searching, you start to realize that the reason a Leonard Cohen song and a Tarkovsky film can feel like they share something in common has nothing to do with how a recommendation algorithm would categorize either of them (and that the algorithms just suggest things you’ve already experienced). It has to do with a quality that’s hard to articulate but easy to recognize.

silhouette finds those connections for you. It’s built for people who trust their own taste but are still looking to be surprised by it, and for anyone who’s ever thought “I wish there was something else that felt like this.”
