Why Independent Musicians Should Claim a Web3 Domain (And Host It on the Blockchain) |
The music industry is evolving at lightning speed. Streaming platforms, record labels, and social media algorithms still dominate much of the online music world, but a new wave is emerging: the decentralized music industry.
At the core of this shift is something most musicians don’t think about when planning their careers—a Web3 domain. It might sound like a tech gimmick, but for independent musicians, it’s a key piece of building a career you fully own. And when you combine a Web3 domain with blockchain-based web hosting, you create a digital home that can’t be censored, seized, or shut down. |

The Birth of AI in the Studio – Early Tools and Experiments |
|
When you hear people talk about “AI in music” today, it can sound like something brand new—like this strange, futuristic force that just showed up to take over studios and replace musicians or engineers. The truth is, AI has been part of the recording process for years. It just didn’t have the flashy “AI” label back then. It was quietly helping musicians get better results, often without them even realizing they were using artificial intelligence. |

Decentralized Touring: How Blockchain Ticketing Stops Scalpers and Builds Fan Loyalty |
|
If you’ve ever tried to buy a concert ticket for a big show, you know the feeling. You wait for the exact minute tickets go on sale, click “Buy” as fast as you can, and somehow they’re gone in seconds. Moments later, the same tickets are listed on resale websites for triple or even ten times the price. It’s frustrating for fans, and it’s just as frustrating for artists. Instead of going to real supporters, tickets end up in the hands of scalpers—people who buy them just to resell for profit. |

The Story and Science of Audio Gates |
|
If you’ve ever been in a recording studio, you know it’s not just about playing music. It’s also about controlling sound. One of the tools that helps engineers shape a clean, powerful recording is something called an audio gate (also known as a noise gate). It’s kind of like a smart door for sound — it opens when you want sound to pass through and closes when you want silence. |
