The Motion Sick: A Brief Study of The Motion Sick in Pandora

Presently, we have two songs in Pandora’s system. We’re hoping to get more in, but there are a lot of complex and annoying barriers to this happening. Regardless, I thought it would be interesting to see what Pandora recommended to users who elected to create a station based on our music. This is a very brief look, but I find it interesting…so, here is what I got…

First, a tiny bit about how they classified our two songs. I am sure there is a lot more info, but this is the quick summary:

“The Day After” – basic rock song structures, a subtle use of vocal harmony, extensive vamping, minor key tonality, and mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation.

“Satellite” – basic rock song structures, a subtle use of vocal harmony, extensive vamping, major key tonality, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, and acoustic rhythm guitar.

Artists that came up on The Motion Sick radio: New Radiant Storm King, Todd Rundgren, Ladder, Kaspar Hauser, Pants Yell!, Marlboro Chorus, Awesome Color, Like A Fox, Magnolia Summer, Blessid Union of Souls, Halou, Doves, Jeremy Jay, David Fagin
