The Plan
This document is not exhaustive and is open to suggestions and modifications. At first, it will serve to facilitate the visualization of the short, medium and long term plans for the 4 main natures of the collective.
Comusic is first and foremost a collective of artists. Through this joint venture, we will seek to develop 4 distinct and complementary aspects:
- Platform for music creation and registration onchain [specific article];
- Digital Music Publisher for management of catalogs of members and sub-editing [specific article];
- Music Label for the release and sale of phonograms produced by the members [specific article] and
- DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) which organizes the management of the collective's assets and takes decisions cooperatively [specific article].
Comusic as a PLATFORM (web app) for music creation and registration onchain:
Short term: promoting the development of the system, organizing meetings and Writting Camps, generating audio-visual material and storing data throughout the processes. Audio-visual materials can be used to publicize the project and to create extra material for members. The generated data will help in the development of the application. Definition of the technical aspects related to the registration NFT, which storage protocol will be used, etc.
Medium Term: definition of the legal aspects related to the legal nature of the group, statute, formation of a nucleus dedicated to regulation and legal aspects. Launch of the app in its beta version for interaction with the general public, in which fans and supporters can participate in the creation process as explained in the article [The Game]. Specific dynamics and games will be proposed to stimulate the creation of new music and feed the collective's catalogue. One or more AI assistants will be introduced using models such as GPT-3 or similar open source ones to be trained using the data generated in the processes and to assist in matters such as textual composition and musical assistance.
Long Term: Improvement of AI character(s) that can be used as assistants in the creation process. Launch of the utility TOKEN that will serve to compensate small contributions. In addition to small contributions, tokens can stimulate the economy within the platform and can be exchanged for promotional materials, collectibles, etc. Development as a mobile/desktop app.
Comusic as Digital Music Publisher:
Short Term: make available all the material necessary for members to understand the role of a publishing house and the possibilities opened up by good editorial management. Open a company, define what type it will be, and already act as an "analog" editor of the catalog generated from the date of entry of the member in the collective.
Medium Term: suggestion of promising catalogs to be translated into Portuguese. Dynamics for creating versions of songs from our catalog in other languages. Partnership proposals by sub-editor with partner publishers with a similar profile.
Long term: defining itself as a Digital Music Publisher without specific jurisdiction and gradually integrating the 'analog' version into the digital version when the market and regulations allow it.
Comusic as a Music Label:
Short Term: releasing of edited and raw videos generated in the initial meetings and writting camps as a 'teaser' of the works that will be launched by the collective. Definition of the COLLECTIVE FEE, whether it will be open at the beginning and then constant, whether it will have a minimum, etc. Production of songs created in the first processes by member producers. Definition of marketing strategies for launching the first phonograms produced by the collective. Launch of the presentation projects [Genesis] of the group's artists with the Comusic label.
Medium Term: launch of individual artist pages with extra materials, physical collectibles (physical + digital, NFC + NFT, easter eggs, etc.). Release of collections curated by the collective. Production of events with the Comusic label, such as song festivals, parties, etc. Creation of pages with the Comusic seal on the main web3 music platforms, profiles and lists on streaming platforms. Brand awareness campaigns in different analogue and digital media.
Long Term: idealization, planning and opening of a recording studio in Brasilia for use by the members of the collective.
Comusic as a DAO:
Short Term: sharing and production of articles and other materials on the functioning of DAOs, their technical aspects and their innovation as a political-economic-social tool. Research of technical tools and definition of which platforms will be used to make DAO Comusic viable. Experimentation of the collective decision-making process throughout the evolution of the collective. Launching collections of visual NFTs to commemorate milestones, reward new member participation, reward achievements, etc.
Medium Term: creation of a Vault to store part of the collective's artistic production. Historical records, NFTs of phonograms, extra collectible materials, NFTs of visual collections, etc. This safe will be part of the collective's Treasury and its movement will be authorized by a multi-signature (multi-sig) process.
Long Term: launch of a governance token in order to improve the efficiency of the voting process and align it with the proportional participation of each member. It will also be used to economically stimulate the DAO and fund its projects, like lear-to-earn in games and lessons.
