+ What is musicmap and the Carta?

 

The Carta is the static and physical representation of the dynamic and digital musicmap.info: the Genealogy of Popular Music Genres from origin till present. In other words: a comprehensive and complex map of music styles. You can read all about the design and how this map came to be here.

​

​

+ What about different sizes and materials?

​

There is currently only one size per product, as smaller sizes would sacrifice legibility of some of the finer fonts and lines and larger sizes would become very impractical and expensive. Other sizes and materials are possible by custom demand. However, we have tested various sizes and materials and believe the current products offer the best representations of musicmap while keeping the price affordable.

​

​

+ Can I request a custom print or place a large order?

 

If you have a specific order request, like a different color setup or layer combination, size, or a particular type of material, please reach out and we will see what is possible. We also have a discount for two items with our flex prints. If you’d like to place a large order or are considering a special B2B opportunity, please contact us at: store@musicmap.info.

​

​

+ What about music genres from the last years?

 

The music genres from 2016-2026 are still very fresh and require more time to pass before we can have a proper retrospective look. It is safe to say that the number of truly new core genres formed in these few last years is modest. It is only now, after the end of the decade, that we can look back to the decade even before that (the 2000s) and realize the influence and significance of certain genres.

​

+ Where do you ship to?

 

musicmap ships all across the globe, from door to door, with very few exceptions. If you country is one of these exceptions, checkout will not be possible. Please read section 6 of our Terms & Conditions for more information.

Currently we do not ship to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, Israel and a few other countries as well as a number of remote or small islands. This information is subject to change at any time and can be outdated when you read this.  If you cannot enter your address in the checkout section, it means that we currently do not deliver to that region. Our metal XXL prints to France are also subject to a very high shipment cost. We recommend shipping to a neighboring country for French metal prints.

​

​

+ Shipments to the U.S.

 

Due to the tariffs of the Trump administration, we were not able to send any orders to the U.S. for a long time.

Thanks to a new contract, all shipping to the U.S. has become possible again and normally even faster than the old service, but unfortunately we can no longer offer the same competitive pricing as we used to be able to.

The price is the same for 2 or 3 items so if you can find a friend to place an order together, this might help.

​

​

+ How long does it take until I receive my package?

 

This can take anywhere between 3 - 20 days, depending on the country, customs regulations, etc. Due to volatile demand, we normally ship in batches, so sometimes it takes a little while before a batch is full. Our web store is a small business without giant automatic warehouses, so please be patient. Packages are shipped out of the European Union, therefore the distance from the EU is a crucial factor in delivery time. You can check in on your delivery using our Track & Trace service or mail us of time is a crucial factor.

​

​

+ Help! I did not receive my package!

​

Please send us an email with your name, address, shipping number, and date of order.  Remember that it can take quite a while for your package to arrive.

​

​

+ I made a mistake or changed my mind. How do I cancel?
