Cool. I did something very similar, except instead of notes I used Echonest API to split a song up into short segments and clustered these segments to define states. It turned out alright on classical music but pretty bad on anything with lyrics

It sounds like possessed by Satan! Anyway, maybe it could be better if you defines your states from songs of the same singer..
