Help build the future of the
music industry
music industry
In a world where reality and virtual realms seamlessly blend, and with new technologies emerging every day, Gen Z and Generation Alpha are leading the digital revolution, with the rest of the generations not far behind. This offers unparalleled opportunities for artists, brands and music professionals to resonate with all generations by immersing into these technologies, gamification and the vast universe of virtual worlds.
What is the Meadow?
The Meadow is a virtual music world where you can create, distribute and earn revenue on your music and performances to a worldwide audience. The Meadow allows a new, fairer income model than the nowadays streaming model and allows artists to perform from the comfort of their home to famous virtual stages all over the world.
Bridging the gap:
empower every
artist and festival
These new technologies however are often not easy-to-use and require expert knowledge, making them expensive and only available to big budget artists, record labels, venues and festivals. At The Meadow we believe there is a lot of talent out there, waiting to be discovered. Our goal is to make these technologies and modern income streams available to everyone through easy-to-use functionalities.
During the heydays of the music industry, income was generated by selling vinyl’s, cassettes and cd’s. With the rise of the internet the industry evolved and music downloads mp3’s become a serious threat to the artist’s income. To counter piracy streaming services were developed. While piracy went down, the biggest cut went to the software platform and not the artist. And now we’re at a crossroads again. Revenue will come from services, one-off sales & subscription fees.
