Fitting The Life Cycle of a Track in The Music Ecosystem
Private Public
Music Consumers can
Listen via their player
through the API
Artist Partners supply
retailers wt tracks in the
format they require
Artist Partners can
submit the track to other
consumption platforms
Music is published and
promoted through the
Social Networks
From a single sound sent privately between two
artists…
…through promotion of un-released tracks to industry and
tastemakers…
…to a full cloud across the web centered around the
artist’s track
…and back again through easy track accessibility that leads to
more derivative works
