[ Music x NFT ] --- Harmosic

Name of Project

Harmosic

Proposal overview

Project Summary

Harmosic is a decentralised NFTs Marketplace launching on Harmony for musician to create and list their works as NFT, and audiences can patriciate in the auction to buy and sell music. Also, we will be a decentralised streaming platform for musicians to earn back what they deserve without being exploited by the music giants.

Introduction

The music industry began its streaming-fuelled recovery around five years ago. The song writing and publishing communities have been protesting the uneven payment structure of streaming, which sees recorded-music rights holders being paid three times what publishing is paid and the music industry’s imbalanced power and payment structures. In recent weeks, this situation has been thrown into dramatic relief by the formation of the songwriters’ group the Pact and its calls for artists to stop demanding credit and publishing income for songs they did not write. Still, the organization’s founders also say that it is just the first step in a music economy that has tilted against the people who create the very foundation of that economy songs.

A growing trend in the music industry is the rise of NFTs (Non-Fungible Token). A transaction using NFTs allows the audience to participate in auctions for unique content from the artists they love because these are new developments, and only time will tell if NFTs are here to stay. Crypto transactions are secure, instant, and eliminate the middlemen, making NFTs enticing artists and fans. In these exchanges, artists can raise money for the content they auction off and keep all of it because these exchanges don’t involve a record company fan pays the price to get a unique piece of content. The artists collect without having to split with anyone else.

The constant evolution of digital technology in the broadcasting and entertainment industry has resulted in a substantial increase in the capacity of transmitted bandwidth. It has enabled many more services, improved coverage, and better picture quality for content globally.

Executive Summary

A project plan is vital for success irrespective of the industry. Research has shown that projects that carry out adequate, intensive, and proper planning have a clear picture of their operational activities, organizational structures, market outlook, and whole other stuff tend to succeed more than those that do not. Studies have also found that most projects fail during their early operations because of an unclear roadmap for their project. So, as the cliché goes, “Failure to plan is planning to fail.” and guides Harmosic to undertake a variety of extensive research cumulates to become its proposal.

The rising of blockchain technology significantly impacts the current centralized society, and the centralized society is always taking advantage and credit from the music creator’s original content. And by using blockchain technology and NFT can highlight the creator’s intellectual property rights, originality, contribution and indirectly provide more job opportunities and their reputation. Harmosic is a standard music platform for music creators (including everyone who has contributed to creating the music, like editor, producer, musician, and singer). Music industry giants like Spotify, Universal, and YouTube Music exploit independent music creators and underpaying musicians. And Harmosic is here to provide a fair and equal platform for musicians to continue their unique and extraordinary works without being exploited by these giants.

The co-founding team has the right experience and exposure to transform the goal of the platform and brand into a great project. Also, We intend to collaborate with other partners to be part of Harmosic success. We want to provide a fair and equal platform for both music creators and audiences. So that everyone will be able to join and create within the platform for free. We will ensure that we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards by meeting our community’s needs precisely and completely. Harmosic can provide a virtuous circle for the music creators and their community to directly earn back their hard work, eliminating the middle man.

Also, Harmosic will provide cross-the-border communication and creativity to improve the overall music creation. Harmosic believes in building lifelong relationships, strategizing solutions for growth. We sustain to improve network and communication performance with long-lasting, distinctive, and substantial solutions. We believe in performing the best and delivering maximum leverage to our clients, building a brighter future – together.

We will carry out essential marketing strategies proven to boost Harmosic publicity and awareness to ensure the necessary awareness and advertisements for Harmosic around Web3. We will implement digital methods and conventional strategies in reaching our target audience. We will fully utilize social media platforms and leverage search engine optimization.

A key factor of Harmosic is that we shall not handle with levity is community’s satisfaction. We will ensure the highest quality of services at all times to meet or surpass our community expectations. We will ensure that every audience needs and requests are duly and correctly understood to enable us to understand the best angle to come in and offer our services.

Hi, This is Daryl, one of the co-founder with Harmosic, I started this project because I noticed there were many music creators being exploited by the music giants.
So I wonder if we can create a Virtuous circle music platform that highlight the creator’s intellectual property rights, originality, contribution and indirectly provide more job opportunities and their reputation. Which can make the music culture great again.
I enjoy music and I love it, That’s all of the vision with Harmosic, I hope you guys will support us ,even just leave your Comment here.Thank you.

Thank you for this proposal @darylluk and @wubba.one. I agree there is potential in the music industry for Web3 adoption at the great benefit of artists.

Do you have a working prototype? Our launches require that projects have a fully-featured prototype that is ready for testnet.

Very interesting proposal! Workers within the music industry (singers, song-writers, producers, etc) are often underpaid and taken advantage of by record labels and streaming services. Web3 applications can be a big disrupter here! Keep building Harmosic!

I think this is really cool. Good luck with this project, the music industry needs change and this is a step in the right direction.

Maybe some detail on the Tokenomics of the project and possible future roadmap of this project, I can see a great outcome. Im a MusicNFT Artist and I definitely feel the pressure for a space for MusicNFTs.

If the team could use it, I’ll offer my help, just DM :blue_heart:

Hi @Alex-crp Thank you for your reply!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Harmosic comes with three uniqueness

  1. The uniqueness that Harmony brings to the product itself. Harmony is a EVM compatible blockchain that provide unparalleled security, scalability, and decentralization. And it has low fees and two-second block finality. For new crypto comer, it is a good advantage to get started with.

  2. Harmosic focuses on product and community metrics, whereas we will build an exclusive fans club for artists and fans to gain loyalty.

  3. As there are still many who are not in crypto space around the world yet. Harmosic will focus on gathering non-crypto artist to join the club. We will bring them from offline to online, from current environment to new crypto environment. And harmony’s benefit will give people a head start.
