Our flagship output consists of large-scale, collaborative research sprints known as "seasons." In each season, we dive deep into an emerging music-tech trend that is both urgent and highly misunderstood — working with our community to paint a clearer picture of what's really happening in the market, and how artists and their teams can best prepare for what's next.
Season 1: Music and Web3 (Prospecting)
Laying out foundational resources for understanding the music/Web3 landscape, across market maps, onboarding strategies, and fan surveys.
Season 1.5: Music and Web3 (Scaffolding)
Building on Season 1 with more concrete templates and frameworks for navigating music/Web3, across legal contract templates, music DAO design, and more.
Season 2: Music and the Metaverse
Identifying the highest-leverage creative, commercial, social, and technical opportunities in music/metaverse experiences.
