Clef is a brand new NFT gaming concept around NFT music. It is build on Waves blockchain and aims to create a new movement within defi.
Clef created a music generating algorithm that issues NFT songs with signature electronic sounding. Clef songs are also used to play around within the interfaces provided on the website. You can generate a song by combining simple music elements and songs can be mixed with each other to create newer ones with advanced sounding. Users can release their songs to the music chart, where songs compete for the listeners’ liking. This is all powered by a smart economy that delivers royalties to the owners of the best songs.
Royalties aka your income
You can earn royalties from all the melodies you created. Once your melody is in chart, it competes with the other melodies for top position. When the reward distribution takes place, all the top owners receive royalties from their songs.
Alternatively you can make some money by listening to the songs and ranking them. This accounts for chart position of songs. For every listen&rank procedure, a listener gets rewarded with a monetary bonus.
Clef’s core values proposed are:
-
Gamified music ownership
-
External utility of in-game NFTs
-
Music3 movement
Music ownership gamification
Become an artist, explore music creation, play with music you own!
Clef brings a brand new experience to music ownership. Once you own a Clef melody, you can put it to mixing, release to a chart and monetise those activities. As an owner, you can trade your melody to pass the ownership to another user and get some $$$ for it. Your ownership is powered by blockchain.
Bear in mind, playing Clef requires no music knowledge! It’s build accessible for everyone interested in defi. However, if you do have some music expertise, we’ve got you covered with a detailed passport for each melody. Reading melody’s DNA provides you with a sophisticated ‘behind the scenes’ data.
Utility of NFT music
Unlike with regular generative art/NFT picture collectibles, the utility of Clef melodies stretches much further than the game itself. Melody owners can use their music as ringtones, soundtracks, their personal authenticator, doorbell or just their JAM. The utility possibilities are endless whether Clef melodies are to be used in metaverse or in our physical universe.
Imagine Decentraland disco party playing one of your Clef melodies. This seems like close future for us. Imagine covering an acoustic version of your Clef melody reading its DNA. Easily doable and beyond cool! Imagine your favourite artist sampling your Clef melody for their new hit. We can totally see that!
The most outstanding ones can find creative ways to market their Clef songs like listing them on Apple Music or Spotify just to receive additional income from the asset.
Music3 movement
As we are building the internet of a new generation the future of music in web3 brings a new economic paradigm to the table. This is where music artists and music users are connected directly and the many intermediaries are omitted.
We are used to hearing music everywhere in our lives. Movies, ads, videos on the internet, in headphones on the go. Yet we rarely think of how many middlemen has that track passed to get from the artist to your ears. Music business models of the future are about closing the gap between music creator and the audience and with Clef you are just in time to step in as an early adopter of music3.
We are super excited about endless possibilities web3 brings to music. Building our product we open space for exploring the utility values of NFT music in a gamified setting. With our audience, we will discover the bounty of owning music. We aim to bring many new users to the Waves ecosystem and start a new movement in mass adoption of music NFTs.
