What a brilliant idea!
Never thought about a song’s “musical DNA” but it makes perfect sense.
Unsigned talent should be thrilled. Terrestrial radio should be terrified.
What an incredible resource! Most of the music I listen to does not get played on the radio and am always anxious to learn about new music. I was able to discover several new bands that I’m really excited about in a very short period of time.
Can’t wait to spend more time with this! Great job and great interview!
:)
Why didn’t I know about this before?! What a great way to find new music … nice work!
Wow, great interview. I fell under the spell of Pandora earlier this year. I only learned of the Music Genome Project in this interview, but am fully aware of its amazing power. Mr Westergren has harnessed the absolute power of the Internet to provide personalized service– in an industry that still doesn’t know what to do with digital technology. I would love to hear an “Update” of this interview in six months or so.
