The Music Genome Project
The genetic revolution is clearly in the public’s consciousness if genetic terminology is being used in areas completely unrelated to biology, such as for the clothing line Eklectik Genes. There’s even a Music Genome Project that generated the data used as the basis for a new streaming radio format, Pandora.
From VentureBlog:
The Music Genome is a set of about 400 characteristics that best describe the nature of a piece of music. As Tom Conrad, Savage Beast’s CTO, describes it, the Music Genome captures standard things like tempo, key, etc. but also captures more subtle things like guitar picking style or “how much cowbell” (which, of course, you can never have enough of).
It would be nice if there was an explanation somewhere on the Pandora site that explains the meaning and origin of the word “genome”. But that’s just wishful thinking.
