Sound.xyz: building a collaborative music movement | David Greenstein, Matt Masurka (Gigamesh), & Vignesh Hirudayakanth

<p>Here is my conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/dgreenstein1">David Greenstein</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Gigamesh">Matt Masurka (Gigamesh)</a>, &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/vigneshka">Vignesh Hirudayakanth</a>, the cofounders at <a href="https://twitter.com/soundxyz_">Sound.xyz</a>.</p><p>Sound is a platform that helps musicians host listening parties and engage with their fans. It's a suite of tools that will grow over time to help musicians make a living using NFTs and other web3-native primitives.</p><p>I was particularly looking forward to this conversation since David, Matt, and Vignesh participated in <a href="https://twitter.com/zeitgeist_xyz">Zeitgeist</a> Season One and we got to work pretty closely together. They're moving fast and are working towards a beautiful vision of the world.</p><p>Timestamps:</p><ul> <li> <strong>3:42 -</strong> Redefining engagement between artists and fans</li> <li> <strong>7:23</strong> <strong>-</strong> MySpace, HypeMachine, Optimism, and Friends With Benefits</li> <li> <strong>12:50</strong> - Using Discord DMs for recruiting</li> <li> <strong>16:53</strong> - NFTs as the perfect medium for <em>music patronage</em> </li> <li> <strong>20:34</strong> - Fair-play <em>incentive structures</em> for music</li> <li> <strong>26:25</strong> - Differentiating the first fan and the millionth fan</li> <li> <strong>32:03</strong> - The technical architecture underpinning Sound</li> <li> <strong>34:33</strong> - <em>Getting to market</em> and <em>building in public</em> </li> <li> <strong>39:45</strong> - <em>Oshi</em> breaks the website</li> <li> <strong>41:37</strong> - <em>The Daniel Allan EP</em> </li> <li> <strong>42:14</strong> - <em>RAC</em> and deploying to mainnet</li> <li> <strong>44:12</strong> - <em>Zeitgeist</em>’s impact</li> </ul><p><br></p>
