we just started a brand new music tech company called Oscillator.
if you could rebuild the music industry today, how would you do it?
-> @lens/oscillatorinc
that's the question behind everything and we hope to help shape this new direction.
if this message resonates with you, sign the manifesto and join us.
- congrats @lens/lens
such an important milestone.
- I have lots of thoughts on this particular topic.
I think part of the reason is an over indexing on building consumer products. We need more infrastructure first. Without that, we're all building and onboarding users without any cohesion and compatibility, or the golden crypto word... composability.
defi got it right from the start. they also benefited from not being a very mainstream product in the first place.
we have this unique opportunity right now to build an alternate music industry that serves creators and artists and it would be a terrible shame to squander that and not coordinate. Despite saying this, there are a lot of efforts behind the scenes to make this a reality, but front loading adoption as the key metric is shortsighted.
Crypto in general was a adopted so easily because it's relatively simple conceptually. Buy/Sell/Hold Token. Something like music can greatly benefit from crypto rails (not just financial), but we're losing users because we won't retain them when there's no real reason to stay beyond speculation.
Of course not everything is that black and white, there are many creating unique experiences using crypto, but we should lean into open shared infrastructure and really show what this can do. That's why I got into all of it and that's what keeps me around.

- Yesterday I sold a piece on @lens/lens minted via @lens/orb in @lens/bonsai for more than anything I’ve ever sold on SuperRare, Nifty Gateway, or Foundation. All of which don’t even have Lens profiles. With no help from anyone I was told I needed to stroke the johnson of over the last 3 years to “make it.” Wat mean? It means perhaps it’s time we put our best work forward here because it works, not reserve it for things that maybe don’t.
- Valentia Piano - Along the west coast of County Kerry in Ireland you will find the amazing Valentia Island. Attached by a bridge to the mainland, it is a place of beauty touched by years of history and the songs of the sea. Back in 2013 I managed to obtain a house there for a few weeks, I took my computer and mic with me not knowing what to expect when I got there. In one of the rooms sat a piano, and as my fingers touched the keys I knew there was a story there waiting to be told. The sound of the piano in that place was something very magical as 100mph winds battered the house and interrupted my recordings. Other material has since emerged from those days spent on the island, but the main body of work that I recorded there makes up this album’’ Originally released in 2013 it’s now been remastered and repressed on 180 Gram vinyl (with the original gatefold sleeve containing the lyrics inside). 500 vinyl copies due to be release April 19th 2024. @club/music @club/vinylandmusic @club/orb #music
