NOTE:

Our guests for the 2 remaining episodes have to be replaced because of their current standings within the Near community. It’s come to our attention that some members are still in the process of repaying funds owed to Creatives Dao.

As a result, we’ve decided to postpone the release of their interviews until those matters have been resolved within the Near community. We will be selecting new creatives to interview who do not have any current account balances due and are in good standing with the Near community overall.

Our expected outcomes are on track

Showcase Near creators on a YouTube show with 1.5K - 2K views per episode

Increase engagement with Near projects for a brand-new audience

Inspire the Near community to showcase their projects outside of the Near ecosystem

Release 4 episodes of the show featuring Near creators exclusively

Produce informative and engaging videos. Mix educational content about Near Blockchain with entertaining elements related to music and entertainment.

Make sure the video is well-paced and visually appealing to keep viewers engaged.

Create eye-catching thumbnails that accurately represent the content of videos and entice viewers to click. @jonblok

[PROPOSAL] Project 2 BeatDAO on Finger Drumming Indo

Description

MPC finger drumming refers to the practice of using an MPC (Music Production Controller) to create drum patterns and beats by tapping on the pads with your fingers. The MPC is a hardware device or software application that allows musicians and producers to sequence and manipulate samples, particularly drum sounds. Finger drumming on an MPC involves using your fingers to trigger different drum sounds and create rhythmic patterns in real time. It is a popular technique used by DJs, producers, and live performers to add dynamic and expressive drumming elements to their music.

[PROPOSAL] Project 4 BeatDAO African Dance Music Instrumental EP

It should come as no surprise that dance music has so much value in the globe. It cheers you up, keeps you motivated, and essentially aids in academic work as well as other goal-related tasks like cleaning the house or going to the gym.

A lot of producers need to drop instrumental projects and this is a way of encouraging and inspiring emerging producers to go out of their heads and drop music for themselves and for the fans that listen.

Producers shouldn’t limit themselves to only making songs for artists.

Drawing inspiration from Producers like Juls, Masterkraft, Sarz, TmXO, and Krizbeatz, just to name a few, this project aims to increase the awareness of African Dance Music as a genre and uplift African music.

It is going to be an Instrumental EP. With heavy African influence and elements. It is going to be a movie expressed in music. It would be available on Mintbase, paras, and other digital streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) to be released under the BeatDAO collective using Ditto Music Label plan for $45/Year.

Expected Outcome

Collaboration among Producers: Foster collaboration within the web2 space and introducing producers/instrumentalists to the web3 music communities.

Community Engagement: Provide a platform for Producers and Fans of African Music to learn about and engage in online discussions about Web3, by planning gatherings, workshops, and online forums. Motivate community members to work together and exchange expertise.

Collaborate with Web3 Projects: Collaborate on Web3 projects, particularly in the African dance music domain. Make contact with a group of music producers who share your interest in this area.

Expected Outcome KPIs:

  • Expected number of new near wallets: 20 -30

  • Expected number of new Near Social accounts: 20

  • Number of streams: 10,000 - 50,000 streams

  • 500 streams on Tamago

Hello, BeatDAO team!

I would like to discuss some of the line items in your proposal.

  • For Project #2, specifically the Arkana Lucky Draw, we came to the conclusion that we should reduce the prize of the giveaway from $150 to $100 for this round due to the low foreseeable return it might generate.

  • For Project #3, there is a similar line item for merch in Project #2. We internally agree to reduce the merch budget from $150 to $100 for project number 3. Unless you want to justify the difference, we are open to discussing it with the BeatDAO council.

  • For Project #5, we appreciate the willingness to create a space for community avocations. However, we find that the budget for Ludero quite high. With that in mind, we concur to reduce the opex for it from $100 a month to $50 and see the outcome.

With all being said, Creatives DAO is happy to approve funding for BeatDAO with a new total of $4010 for January & February 2024.

Thank you for building with us! Stay NEAR, stay creatives!

Please note that this decision does not constitute approval for guaranteed funding. Approved parts will be included in Creatives DAO’s collective proposal to NDC, under the review of HOM, COA and NDC Trustees.
