This is what a day of Postmates deliveries sounds like in Las Vegas.
Data is grouped by minute.
The velocity of each pitch is determined by the number of deliveries started in that minute (normalized for that market).
The pitch represents the average distance traveled for deliveries started in that minute (the further the distance, the higher the pitch on the C major scale. This is normalized for the whole dataset, listen to the difference in pitch between NYC and Las Vegas).
