How We Built C4

TL;DR we made music, we made art, we built tech, we minted CDs, we wrote to disc, we celebrated. :) Two weeks ago we released C4 - the fourth major experiment out of Songcamp. Five songs were released across streaming platforms as the C4 EP. They were simultaneously released via a custom mint experience on the Songcamp app, where listeners could mint blank CD tokens and choose one of the 5 songs to write to their discs. After the 7-day mint closed, 2372 CDs were minted and the project crossed...

A Place For Music and the New Internet to Crash Into Each Other
In March of 2021, one year into the global COVID-19 pandemic, musicians were staring down the barrel of the second year of cancellations. North American tours that had already been painstakingly rescheduled to Spring 2021 were being canceled or pushed for a second and even third time. Live performance, the bread and butter of the working-class musician, had (with the exception of the occasional outdoor or online gig) disappeared altogether with no real sign of when it would return. Musicians ...

Value Flow: How Chaos Artists Are Getting Paid
Camp Chaos — our latest experiment at Songcamp — has one very clear purpose: to give birth to a headless band called Chaos. In our previous essay, we dove into how we are using containers of Scope, Teams, and Time to give shape to this experiment in chaotic collection creation. This idea of a “headless band” spans far beyond our creative approaches to this project. It deeply informs how we are thinking about, and executing, the flow of value amongst this network of 80 artists. The design and ...

The Papa Series: How a group of 80 artists are stretching Dunbar's hypothesis to its edges
Back in the 90’s British anthropologist Robin Dunbar unearthed a fascinating correlation between our brain sizes & average social group sizes. Now known as Dunbar's number the finding was that, based on the limitations of our neocortex, there’s a maximum size of group (circa 150 members) in which we maintain stable relationships. Stability is the important distinction here. The primate groups being studied needed to spend 43% of their time on social grooming to maintain a group that size...

The Papa Series: One Headless Band, Dancing With Chaos
My first immersive theatre experience was in London. A strange choice for a first date: dishevelled converted warehouse rooms transformed into horrific SAW like enclaves for historical ‘Jack the Ripper’ deep dives. Weirder still was the melange of characters that attended, all in fancy dress, blurring the lines between participant and actor - infusing the evening with mystique and intrigue. I like to think this setting, so frighteningly effective as it was, is entirely to blame for my compani...
