Recommend. Be recommended. The mathematics of the Matrix pulls creators together like gravity. Creating global pathways, global ubiquity, global unity. In a small world great things are possible.

I'm Sparrow. I built this matrix so that every creator on the planet would be conceivably findable and accessible from all others, beginning with musicians in Bahia, Brazil. The matrix combines recommendation by both artificial and human intelligence (human preferred) and the small-world phenomenon (responsible for the fact that most humans are within 6 steps of most others) in a simple but powerful manner which has never been used before.
