Minting Blank CDs with Songcamp — Matthew Chaim

Matthew Chaim is a founder of Songcamp which is an artist collective and creative studio experimenting with songwriting camps and emergent technology to unlock new ways of creating and releasing music on the internet.

Started in 2021, Songcamp has run three online songwriting camps with over 50 emerging musicians from around the world. The music they created was released via compilation projects as onchain immersive collections.

We talk about all three of the previous Songcamp releases to date: Genesis, Elektra, and CHAOS ~ the epic headless band with 77 contributing artists. Leading up to their latest, C4 which drops today!

C4 is an imaginative collection with 15 contributing artists producing 5 songs. Audiences are invited to mint blank CD NFTs which can be used to write music to disc. We wander in conversation about music, technology, internet collectives, how Matthew likes to write and produce music, and other esoteric and musical topics.
