@AsyncArt @conlan @AndrewSteinwold @zima_red @cryptovoxels @MattKaneArtist @BoyaGeorge @MehakJainArt 7/ Entering the Music sector 🎵

🎵 Decided to work on Async Music
🎵 Songs are naturally broken into layer stems
🎵 Stems could be like the background beat, synth, the piano, the lyrics, the vocals, etc
🎵 Musicians can decide what layers and states they want to offer

@AsyncArt @conlan @AndrewSteinwold @zima_red @cryptovoxels @MattKaneArtist @BoyaGeorge @MehakJainArt 8/ Which has more engagement? 🎨 or 🎵

🎵 Is invite-only right now. Making sure musicians showcase the platform well
🎨 People can apply and mint art pieces as and when they want
🎵 Engagement 🔼 on 🎵 side. 🔽 price point for people to engage and record songs

@AsyncArt @conlan @AndrewSteinwold @zima_red @cryptovoxels @MattKaneArtist @BoyaGeorge @MehakJainArt 9/ Being a Founder

"I could just sit down and write out like 20 ideas I'd love to build or to see someone else build. So as a founder, I'd say the biggest downside now is just not being able to build up the side projects that I want." - Conlan Rios

@AsyncArt @conlan @AndrewSteinwold @zima_red @cryptovoxels @MattKaneArtist @BoyaGeorge @MehakJainArt 10/ News to share 👀

🎨 Partnership with @MeetMeural, which are physical-digital art displays
