My exploration of the web3 space began in the summer of 2020 - a time when the classical music landscape seemed bleak with canceled seasons, funding shortfalls, and unpredictable timeframes. While the future of live music was uncertain, everything seemed possible in web3’s emerging digital marketplace where 3-D art, generative art, photography, and multimedia collaborations live comfortably side-by-side. I found artists extremely supportive of one another and there was an encouraging camaraderie between creators and collectors. The excitement around combining artistic expression and blockchain technology was contagious and I wanted to be a part of it. As a composer in the classical/new music world for twenty years, this was a refreshing change.
