Here at Numbers Protocol, we recently had the honor of hosting an interview with two of the music industry’s most forward-thinking personalities, Autumn and Chris Wieduwilt. Our conversation delved into the gritty realities and innovative breakthroughs at the intersection of music creation and blockchain technology.
We listened to Autumn, a passionate advocate for the rights of songwriters, as she described the solitary and often underappreciated toil behind songwriting. She shared the trials of a career where success is measured in delayed paychecks and recognition comes slower than the music itself. Her story resonated with our mission at Numbers Protocol to provide tools for better acknowledgment and compensation for creators.
Chris brought his trove of digital wisdom to the discussion, espousing the transformative potential of AI and NFTs in the music industry. Through his newsletter, "AI Musicpreneur," he educates artists on harnessing AI for automating mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on their creative genius. His perspective on using AI to develop alternative revenue streams aligns with our vision of leveraging technology to empower artists.
Our encounter with Autumn at SXSW was a pivotal moment, as she expressed her fascination with how our Capture Cam app enabled her to mint photos as NFTs in real-time. At Numbers Protocol, we believe in capturing moments that matter, and Autumn’s use of our app as a digital time capsule for her creative projects reflects the very essence of our platform’s capabilities.
The discussion naturally transitioned to how blockchain could offer a solution to the inefficient payment and royalty distribution systems currently plaguing artists—a change we at Numbers Protocol are eager to facilitate. Chris's insights into blockchain's role in ensuring immediate and transparent transactions were a testament to the possibilities that our technology is poised to unlock.
As we navigated through the promises and perils of AI in music, both Autumn and Chris underscored the delicate balance between embracing innovation and preserving the human touch in artistry. We share their view and emphasize the importance of using AI ethically to augment, not replace, human creativity.
Concluding the interview, we reflected on the shared aspirations for an industry that values and rewards its creators justly. At Numbers Protocol, we remain committed to pioneering solutions that not only address the current needs of digital content provenance but also support the growth and protection of creative work in the digital age.
Our interview was more than just a conversation; it was a statement of our dedication to building a future where technology enriches the arts. We stand with creators like Autumn and innovators like Chris, as we collectively stride towards a more equitable and thriving creative landscape.
