When I first heard about crypto (without really fully knowing how it works - as is the case still) I imagined that somehow everyone at the Mudstomp event was earning some kind of tokens in addition to whatever other value they were getting. I’ve always paid top dollar for special musicians who have a special unique knack for infusing music and song into others, and felt that was still not enough to adequately exalt them as “construction activators”. I want to somehow value each participant at each event for their unique contributions -especially children who are able to magically draw in their parents, grandparents and siblings just from their sheer enthusiasm and their thrill of wanting to build. I want to create new incentives for the adolescent youth whose contributions are priceless and irreplaceable. I’ve previously been gifted the participation of adolescent youth at my events because they are happy to be getting out of the classroom but this is not a sustainable incentive as I’ve moved away from depending on the school system to incubate my vision. It needs to start growing outside of all that to accomodate and include the new breed of non-schoolers or “beyond-schoolers.” Or “new-schoolers”. DAOs? Also I want to recognise the value of the audience - which is really the lynchpin of it all. What is a show without an audience? Not much of anything really. I think it’s because we have been starved of our village that we are willing to pay $$ to be part of an audience and be used by the. When I used to buy live albums I recognised what incredible extra value the audience gave to the recording - and the same thing goes for a live show. The audience picks it up and takes it to another level and then the corporate music industry machine captures all that magic of the audience’s spontaneous generous heartfelt contributions and claims ownership of it, without the audience members consent. The role of the audience is key to both the entertainment value and the productivity of each musical mudstomp event. Can you see a way that crypto could be used to add value to such an event which is part of a project that starts with a few people gathered around a table building a model based on a 3D pic and manual of instructions?
