vibrantabyssSo the day after my last post about pandora.com, in the place of their normal innocuous link to an advertiser video (your music only gets interrupted when *you* choose...) was a link to a video about pandora and how the music is made. Turns out it was a .. tutorial .. on different kinds of harmonies. With some (but not much) musical background and none in vocals it was incredible to see and hear (the video was mostly colored lines rising and falling with each voice's pitch) different kinds of harmonies and being given the proper names for each type.
I was so happy I wrote into them, and got several responses from staff back, including a pointer to the rather burried 'pandora blog' area, which has .. piles and piles of audio on, well, all about the music - learn about instruments, composition, song writing, etc etc. Just wow. Still chewing through them, and will be for some time. Of course, I have nothing to compare against - if any of the musicians out there want to take a gander and let me know if they think it's good stuff...
