Maestro: Transforming the Music Industry with its Tunes

in #ico6 years ago

About Music-

Dragging myself through the day, I come back home tired, and exasperated. I do not feeling an inkling to eat, let alone watch a documentary that has been assigned to us as a task. Giving up on the idea of even trying to move my body an inch, I take my earphones, plug them into my phone and put my playlist on shuffle. Like a boat to a man stranded in the island, like the first rains after summer, like the first bite of cheese filled pizza, I drown in the melodious tunes of The 1975, Ronan Keating and Linkin Park.

This is just a very minor instance of the power of music. Music can elevate you from a state of sorrow to a state of happiness and vice versa. There doesn't exist any person in the world that is not fond of music.

"I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music."
- Billy Joel

Music is not restricted to a certain age group. I see my niece dancing to the beats of bollywood songs and my grandmother humming her favourites from the 80s. Music helps us magnify the emotions inside us. The right kind of music can help you feel like home when the entire world seems alien. Music was appreciated as a magnificent art form from the time of kings and monarchs. They had a special place for musicians in their court who exclusively composed music for the kings.

Even Albert Einstein wanted to be a musician! "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music."

Music has evolved through ages, from the Beethoven to Metallica and Pop. There are hundreds of genres of music, each to tug your heartstrings at the right places.

"If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die."

- William Shakespeare

As we listen to music, we attach emotional sentiments with the artist too. We follow them as our idols and mourn over their death. The death of Kurt Cobain or Chester Bennington had the whole world in sorrow. After all, the presence of such people enable us to revive our spirits and help us keep going every day, like Confucius said years ago

"Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without."

Music Industry-

A lot of us draw inspiration from our favorite artists and want to compose music too. As we get exposed to the music industry, we realize how cruel and ruthless it is. There is no transparency, profits are being gathered by middlemen and in the end of the long process, artists get nothing for their value of art. Well established singers and musicians also fall in trap of such schemes and the budding ones live from hand to mouth trying to establish themselves. Even though a lot of us, on hearing the scenario, want to help our beloved artists to make a living off their passions, there is no suitable platform that could tell us about who requires funds and how it can effectively reach them.

About Maestro-

Seeing these issues in the music industry, Maestro, a decentralized platform integrated with blockchain technology provides a place where quality music can be created by small or medium scale artists effortlessly and also involve consumers in the funding, promotion and profits of the business.

That's a brilliant idea to use the blockchain to enhance the profile and visibility of the music industry in the public space. The cryptocurrency market continues to push forward and extend into more and more areas of society. The blockchain is an infrastructure change and it will take time to see its full effect.
