> +1 to the comment that a nounish recording studio feels like the north star holy grail for nouns x music and we shouldn't leapfrog right there.
>
> skeptical that this is a "need" in order to make good music. Just look at soundcloud for the thousands of people making a name for themselves from their laptop with a cracked version of ableton

> I'd love to see Nouns going deeper into the music industry, and I feel this team is optimally positioned to pioneer that work. However, I think this iteration is way too broad.
>
> As others pointed out, start with something smaller, find good traction, and take it from there.

> Pls keep iterating team!

> I’m personally very interested and passionate about ⌐◨-◨ pioneer the music industry with aligned community members. It also happens to be in my line of work to develop and evaluate these type of concepts. I have carefully assessed the potency of the concept and came to the conclusion that this proposal doesn’t address the key ingredients enough to make the impact we’d all like to see and therefor I’m voting against for now.

> Some of the key items to consider:
>
> RB Music Academy has been put to rest 5 years ago.
> Converse Rubber Tracks has significantly wound down too.

> There are good reasons to it which are worth surfacing and taking into consideration. It’s not because they didn’t mint their work on chain. What are the learnings that you can leverage to do it better because you’re smaller, leaner (although the budget doesn’t suggest this) and leaning forwards?
>
> All to say that their success stories remain corner stones in the music industry. But not because they branded a studio and recorded music, but because they understood content and ran hybrid productions:
> 1. Music production (20%)
> 2. Content production (80%)
> And, they had distribution to push these stories out into the world.
>
> This proposal only covers #1 and #2 only on the surface level (ref budget line items + listed opportunities), with distribution being limited to small platforms that aren’t native to music as such. Which inherently isn’t an issue per-se, but specifically for music it excludes the productions from organic discoverability which is the rabbit hole music lovers like to intentionally fall into. No rabbit hole = not a lot of lovers who can find you = low impact.

> Also, if you ask consumers and browse through the leading music platform trend reports of the last couple years on consumer behavior: if you’re not on YouTube, you don’t exist.
>
> I’d love to see The Park return with a refined proposal that focuses on the following:
> 1) Further cultivating Sessions @ The Park
> 2) Build out their content production
> 3) For however much runway the next iteration allows, a media partnership to cover the story and build out distribution
> 4) further fostering the community around their movement
>
> I see the whole thing about "owning" or "having" a studio more of a North Star vision and not part of this phase. For now, it's worth exploring the creative takes on "what does it look like when ⌐◨-◨ / The Park takes over a studio for a week(end)?". To then grow from take-overs, to pop-ups into owning.
>
> With 4 main strategic areas:
> 1) Authenticate - which you already do with your legacy and work with The Park. Double down. Do more of that.
> 2) Lead - innovate and pioneer in HOW and WHAT you do. You're already doing a lot, but it's very binary and limiting the visibility of the good stuff you make.
> 3) Grow - build out distribution and community. Hack growth. More.
> 4) Amplify - built out distribution with partners to go big and capitalize on potential momentum peaks, when these moments happen.

> Thank you for bringing this proposal forward! If it doesn't pass, I hope to see a revised version in the future ⌐◨-◨
