Patronage, brilliantly distilled by @kalesha
an an ex-UMG employee, the convo on the timeline this week has stressed me out
as someone who currently gets to fund & champion artists through my current work, I’m excited about the future of patronage as a potential new model for the music industry
can’t wait to share how we’re applying this model in 2027 and beyond
except from my newsletter here 👇🏽

This might be the best recruiting strategy I have ever seen
OPENAI to EMPLOYEES: If someone is trying to seduce you, first consider — could they be a spy???
OpenAI is warning its employees about honeypot spies and strangers with children in playgrounds ... a very fun one with @georgia_wells and @MeghanBobrowsky:

“patron gets cultural influence, intellectual stimulation, or simply the satisfaction. more wealthy ppl should do this”
Patronage is the apex luxury product
one of my good friends has a large billionaire patron who sponsors his content & is largely hands off. this means he doesn’t have to run specific sponsors or ads on his platform that feel unnatural & disruptive.
from a strict creator monetization + livability perspective this seems like the cleanest model for content creation.
i.e. creator can focus entirely on producing interesting work & the audience gets an undisturbed experience. the patron gets cultural influence, intellectual stimulation, or simply the satisfaction. more wealthy ppl should do this.

Wow, last week was mental. I managed to make it to both Beyond the Music and Future is Sound conferences, but they both inevitably took a back seat to Alone Together... and I came out of the week feeling more conviction than ever for what we have been working on.

You can just will bass music production tools into existence
Vivid Suite is made up of 6 different plugins for bass music production that I have willed into existence with the help of AI tools.
I'll be posting some more demos about them over the next coming days, but if you want to play with them or even use them to vibe code your own versions, just point your AI model at this github and have fun.

Was just talking to @bigvibessss and he dropped the idea that vibe coding is actually just like folk music.
And so I propose Folk Developer
I am a folk singer and developer.
