I'm creating a open Google form/sheet for music photography rates so that we as a community can have a transparent look at what publications, festivals, artists, promoters, venues etc are paying for music photography.

Artists: build worlds & bring fans deeper into them.
How?
Jagwar Twin shows us with Hall of Mirrors.
Let's take a look:
***
HALL OF MIRRORS: a digital universe to discover his music, his consciousness & yourself.
OBJECTIVES
1. Experiment
2. Drive excitement around new music
3. Build a bridge for fans to get & enjoy Web3
4. Create "proof of fandom" to understand the who, what & when of all fans
WHY
To explore and experiment with the way artists & fans build mutual incentives to grow community in the modern music industry.
THE PREMISE
The Hall of Mirrors is a universe built out of Jagwar Twin’s uploaded consciousness by his AI Saravi.
→ Enter with your master key: a free, composable 'crown' NFT that dynamically changes with your engagement.
→ Discover free 1/1 artifacts by unlocking codes within the project lore. Each opens a room in the hall for everyone with new music, video & art.
→ Listen & collect songs, demos & bonus content right from the HoM player.
RESULTS
• 3,572 unique collectors
• 80% web3-native, 20% web2 fans
• 1 fan discovered & collected 50+ artifacts
TAKEAWAYS
1. Breadcrumbs → It's hard to convert fans to web3. Free 1/1s are a strong driver.
2. Experiment → Use new tech & tools to explore what's possible.
3. Take easy wins →HoM was outside main music NFT platforms, increasing the challenge of discovery.
The lesson? Play the long game.
Keep iterating.

Playing go-go outta town is tricky because it relies on songs w/ reach (there aren’t many) or natives being present.
“Sexy Lady” is universal, has some reach (mainly because of HBCU kids) so I’ll always play it outta town, always. Save the deep cuts for when I go home. 💖
@djxdomo carving legit time in the set for GoGo (no surprises here) will always be special! 💎

I met Jeff Beck when I was 17 and I was glad to know a guy like that, a guy who was able to show me how this guitar playing thing should be approached and that’s still very much the case. Jeff was a wondrous soul and we already miss him tremendously.
