The Gamelatron project merges the Balinese Gamelan with robotics

For over two thousand artists Pandora will pay over $10,000 dollars each over the next 12 months (including one of my favorites, the late jazz pianist Oscar Peterson), and for more than 800 we’ll pay over $50,000, more than the income of the average American household. For top earners like Coldplay, Adele, Wiz Khalifa, Jason Aldean and others Pandora is already paying over $1 million each. Drake and Lil Wayne are fast approaching a $3 million annual rate each.

There’s money in streaming on-demand radio after all. There’s a bit of clarification via Venture Beat about this whole payout thing though.

so now @ohdio_ is in open beta, so you can use your Twitter/FB account to sign up directly.we have 10 labels total working with us now. :)
