“Clarity” Added to Pandora Radio

2010-09-14T15:02:00.005-04:00

If you don’t already have a Shadwell station on Pandora, fire one up now! After being picked apart and analyzed up and down by musicologists, “Clarity” has now been added to the Music Genome Project and Pandora. The whole process is pretty cool, and rather than try to explain it ourselves, let’s let Wikipedia have a go:

A given song is represented by a vector (a list of attributes) containing approximately 400 "genes" (analogous to trait-determining genes for organisms in the field of genetics). Each gene corresponds to a characteristic of the music, for example, gender of lead vocalist, level of distortion on the electric guitar, type of background vocals, etc. Rock and pop songs have 150 genes…each gene is assigned a number between 1 and 5, in half-integer increments.

Each song is analyzed by a musician in a process that takes 20 to 30 minutes per song. Ten percent of songs are analyzed by more than one technician to ensure conformity with the standard. Given the vector of one or more songs, a list of other similar songs is constructed using a distance function.

It’s that easy! Get your Shadwell station running here.

"Clarity" CD Release Shows

2010-04-21T10:47:00.012-04:00

Have we mentioned the new CD is out yet?

To celebrate the fruits of our labor (aka "Clarity"), we're throwing a New Hampshire CD release show this Friday at the Dover Brickhouse and a Boston CD release show May 14 at T.T. the Bear's.

If you've already got your copy then come on out and air guitar all Ben's solos. If not, there's no better time to pick one up than at a CD release show...although clicking over to the "store" section and buying now would be equally awesome.

Friday, April 23
The Dover Brickhouse
2 Orchard Street
Dover, NH 03820
21+ / 9pm / Shadwell at 11:30pm
With AMPM, This Blue Heaven, Air Traffic Controller

18+ / 9pm / Shadwell at 10:30pm
With The First Annual, Me and Joan Collins, Drew English

Great lineups for both nights - if you haven't had a chance to check out the above bands before than that in itself is enough reason to come out.
