The Musicology Show

Hosted by 'PANDORA', part of the 'Music Genome Project'. A not too heavy look at music theory, in a contemporary setting. Categories include Composition, Instruments, Singing and Style, with downloadable mp3's and mp4's!

Unfortunately some of the links are restricted for users in the UK.

Their 2008 season will become available every fortnight from Wednesday 5th March.

"Ever wonder how a band creates its unique "sound," or what makes a particular song so distinctive?

As we spend our days dissecting tracks for the Music Genome Project, it occurs to us that most people don't get to hear songs before they're finished. We thought it might be interesting for folks to learn more about what goes into songwriting. This show is our attempt to give you an inside look at the techniques musicians use to put their signature on the music they write and perform.

We do get into a little music theory, but we've tried to make it interesting and understandable for anyone who's even just a little curious about music. Pandora Presents... is hosted by Pandora music analyst Kevin Seal from the band Griddle. We hope you enjoy it!"
