[ON HOLD] |muti.rec: funding of a studio session for musicians

Creatives muti DAO
1

muti loves music and to listen to EPs, LPs and Cassettes.

Therefore muti DAO will support a studio session for 1-2 days on a monthly basis so that the artist does not need to worry about anything but the composition and creation itself.

The funds are supposed to be used for the studio costs, sound engineer, artwork of the release (if applicable) and a payment for the artist as well as administration of the project.

From each recording one NFT in the muti store will be minted and the NFT & artist will receive exposure through all the muti social media channels.

Through this program more artists and studio holders will be funded through, onboarded and introduced to the NEAR ecosystem and its possibilities, the world of NFTs will be explored.

Each month the value will be decided depending on the nature of the project (number of musicians, rental fee, amount of recorded songs).

This program is meant to support the artist(s) to cover the following costs:
Studio Rental
Sound Engineer
Production & Mastering
Artist Fee & Associated Costs
Artwork/Design
Guidance/Onboarding of all involved/social media promotion through muti channels

Obviously if the studio rent is higher or no artwork would be needed etc., the amounts can be distributed differently, this serves only as a rough guide for orientation but can be adjusted to the needs then.

Half of the amount will be paid out in the beginning of the project to get it started and to pay the studio etc., the remaining half will be paid out after completion of the recording and the final mint of the NFT.

To apply for this opportunity, please comment this post and add

  • links to your music/portfolio
  • participating artists & nearnames
  • studio space
  • time line
  • requested value & distribution

The council will then leave a comment and decide upon the infos given

UPDATE: Project on hold for the month of March. It will return after, new post TBA

This funding will go towards the costs involved in renting a studio for two days to record the EP with sound engineer Eddie Ivers (tediv.near) and producer/sound-artist Mark-Waldron Hyden as well as the artwork and design for the EP that will be created by Joaquim and Eddie.

One excerpt from the EP will be made available as an NFT accompanied by the artwork via the mutidao store once released.

muti.rec: Shaka’s Lofi Experience EP recording

Hello!

Just posting a further update on this. We spent the full 12 hours in the studio on Sunday and it went really well. We got a total of 6 tracks recorded plus poetry layers, overdubs and ambient sounds. All the ingredients for an exciting release from Shaka’s Lo-fi Experience (shakalofi.near).

Mark Waldron-Hyden (mwhyden.near) is now starting the process of the mixing and mastering of the tracks which he is planning to have finished by the start of October. In the meantime, myself and Shaka will be working on the accompanying artwork to the release and planning the NFT segment of the project.

Thanks again!

Hey @Dedeukwu,

Thank you for elaborating!
Due to the transition from N to USD we are restructuring our budget and are happy to see that the value that we had in mind for October actually fits to your request.

We’re happy to support this session in October with 600 USD for this month, you can take the “muti guidance/150 USD” out, as you are already familiar with the space and as the budget this month is a bit restricted due to the other projects. We’ll still do social media promotion ofc. :slight_smile:

Do you already have a timeline for the project?

Hey :slight_smile:
Please wait for us to confirm the first payout to guarantee that the work can be rewarded. We will submit our monthly budget by the end of this week and once it is approved we will let you know :slight_smile:

Great initiative! Is there a specific store these projects will be minted on? I’ve been thinking about how and if it makes sense to include a % that returns to the respective DAO (thinking ala NxM here) from any sales generated by the the NFTs. It would be good to start thinking about how to become more self-sufficient as inevitably this funding will not last forever (at least that’s what I’ve been told!).

Heya :slight_smile:

Currently we are doing this, as the funding is provided through the muti DAO. Self-sustainability is on our list as well and we are considering adjusting the values so that the DAO eventually will become self-sustainable. But muti is open for collabs :slight_smile:

Funding is in, feel free to request the amount of 300 USD to kickstart your session. The remaining 300 USD will be paid out once the session has finished & the NFT has been minted in the muti mintbase store :slight_smile:
