Streaming services have made music more accessible than ever, yet controversies remain around creator compensation. Platforms and labels capture over 80% of streaming revenues while artists receive fractions of a penny per stream. This imbalance has sparked a movement towards decentralized distribution. 2023Across sectors — including publishing, software, fashion & consumer goods — the digitisation trend has tended towards creating alternatives that offer more equitable distribution of value ...

We Unpack The Stats To Find Out How & WhyNon-fungible tokens (NFTs) have emerged as a disruptive model allowing artists to tokenize their work on blockchains. This enables musicians to directly engage with fans and collectors by selling limited edition digital art and music. RŌHKI is one project leveraging NFTs to build a community-owned ecosystem. RŌHKI was founded in early 2022 by the artists behind the monikers IO and HACHI. Little is known about their identities, though rumors suggest the...

The human brain is capable of remembering 7 items, plus or minus 2 on average. Domain names serve a crucial function as mnemonics for our highly volatile short memories to retain. Heuristics (shortcuts) like the teledotcom [e.g. 1–800-FLOWERS] are game-changers as easily memorable means of resolving intricate number strings into usable formats. The same can be said of dotcom domain names (e.g. www.pledgebond.com) which go a layer of abstraction further to enable resolution of protocols such a...

As the clock ticks down to the start of my next Bright Moments experience, wherever or whenever that might be, I can’t help but think it will be filled with wonder. With so much creative firepower that seems pretty much a given! Such is the level of doe-eyed fondness and respect they’ve built with me over the course of just four very special interactions. Rather incredible considering this is a collective I only heard about just over a month ago at the Proof Of People NFT festival. Then, as n...

Album: Legacy Song: fed up Art: Flourish Team: anatu, Yin, shoshin, Papa I’m Fed Up! And this is my therapy. What a gift and honour to have this medium to share the maelstrom of emotions we encounter through art. Here we go again with another written homage to the music we so love to make. This time it is centred around the third song in the Legacy album “fed up” which isn’t actually in sequential order from the last post but you don’t mind - do you? The Legacy album is the second by me - Pap...

Album: Legacy Song: narcissus Art: Flourish Team: anatu, Yin, shoshin, Papa As envisioned in the prologue for this epic journey across the metaverse, the plan is to release a song every three weeks of 2022; bringing the ideals of the music to life through the creation & distribution of distinct, unique, collaborative artistic offerings. Our intention is to build in public across traditional distribution channels as well as experimenting with new models for artists to work together, form commu...

Music NFTs are flourishing [primer here if you have no idea what this means] Music as a genre is severely under-monetised with artists capturing piddling portions of the value they create. This twitter thread captures an indication as to why this is so important in continuing to inspire development, growth, and progression of such a pivotal aspect of our lives. Gaming is a $130bn industry - this drives investment and innovation to the space at an incredible pace. The music industry is current...
