are the cornerstone of the USM platform. Like us, they are unique; they have unique sounds, styles, personalities, and appearances. They serve as our avatars in the virtual world and everything on the USM platform begins with them.
The sounds that we record from real world musicians become artifacts that belong to an Artist NFT and in that sense, they become their sound which they then play according to their own musical traits.
If you own an Artist NFT you can use it to collaborate with other Artist NFTs and form , you can even collaborate to publish .
Since every Artist NFT has their own unique sounds and style any bands they form are like no other. Similarly, any music they create is like music in the real world: once it's been published there will never be another one like it.
Our first drop is the but there will be and no 2 drops will be the same. The platform will grow so long as there is new music to be played and enjoyed.
The USM Platform is a place where anyone can be a virtual musician. All you need is a USM Artist NFT to serve as your avatar in this virtual world.
We will remain true to our mission to honor musical tradition in a variety of ways, including recording real musicians as we create a fun, online, virtual music experience. The platform will ultimately be inspired by the real world but it is also our hope for the platform, itself to be inspiring.
We envision a platform that promotes illustrators and musicians by deconstructing their art and putting it in the hands of their community to reconstruct and thus connect with in an unprecedented way.
It's our mission to honor music, the musicians who create it, and the communities that make it magical by building innovative, collaborative, virtual experiences that bring joy and strengthen human connection.
For the first time ever, blockchain technology has enabled verifiable ownership of our digital assets through immutable, smart contracts. Artists can publish their work and establish a direct relationship with those who acquire their work by means of the these smart contracts. Art enthusiasts can purchase digital assets and verify their authenticity, and in some cases their uniqueness.
Services are already sprouting up that help artists create these digital assets as well as manage the number of copies and the terms of the contract under which they will be sold. Even more exciting, services are being built that provide exclusive experiences, online and offline to those who own these assets. In some cases these assets are non-fungible; unlike any other. In other cases they are one of many tokens that can be traded or swapped on open market places.
