Hello, Tunedly fans. This is the Weekly Top Picks newsletter by Tunedly, your unique masked music discovery and favourite recording studio platform.
The topic of sound was discussed in today’s newsletter. While it explained how the process of hearing is complex, the information is easy-to-grasp and will leave you with a better understanding.
The topic of geospatial technologies was also explored in the context of how it can be used effectively with blockchain technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) to address issues of data authenticity, location verification, and protection against unauthorized access and processes.
Before we start, a quote:
“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.” – J. K. Rowling.
WHAT’S TRENDING
How You Hear
Sound is a ubiquitous aspect of our environment and the ability to hear the sounds of nature such as birds singing, waterfalls, puppies barking, and trees rustling in the wind is a wonderful gift. But what exactly is sound? Sound is the result of vibrations that travel through a medium such as air and can be perceived when they reach the ear of a person or animal.
While the concept of sound may seem simple, the process of hearing is quite complex. In the past, the journey of music to the brain has been explored, and it is possible that you already have some understanding of the topic. However, this time we will delve into the broader topic of how the human brain processes sound in general.
Preparing for Songwriting and Musical Creativity
Being able to consistently create meaningful and impactful music, whether professionally or as a hobby, depends on one’s ability to capture inspiration and create when and how they want. Inspiration can strike at any time and place, so it is important to be prepared to take advantage of it in order to increase productivity and create something unique.
Additionally, opportunities in the music industry can arise unexpectedly, and being ready to capitalize on them can greatly benefit your songwriting and music career. To be prepared, it is important to always be ready to seize upon spontaneous ideas, explore new creative avenues and make the most of collaborative ventures. As with any endeavor, preparation is key to success. Top songwriters do not just stumble upon hit-bound songs and serendipitous collaborations don’t just happen by chance. They are always ready to take action when inspiration strikes.
Building the World’s First Blockchain Geospatial Network Backed with Cryptography
The increasing interest in cryptocurrencies has brought significant attention to blockchain technology. However, another area where blockchain can be utilized effectively is in the Internet of Things (IoT), specifically when combined with geospatial technologies. As data collection and processing becomes more advanced, questions arise about the authenticity of the data, how location is verified, and how to protect against unauthorized access and processes.
The XYO Network is a blockchain-based geospatial network that uses cryptography to anonymously collect and validate data with a geographic component. It aims to establish a data marketplace that offers a reliable standard for any applications, websites, or blockchain technologies that require trustworthy data, branding itself as the “Reality Oracle” to improve the validity, certainty, and value of data.
NFTs Are a ‘Trojan Horse’ Coming at Record Labels
An example of a practical and relevant use case for blockchain technology is omgkirby, an early and now successful decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on creating melody-oriented music. Led by an anonymous music industry professional, omgkirby produces electronic remixes of popular songs.
The collective has been successful in supporting up-and-coming musicians and their fans, using blockchain-based digital collectibles and partnerships with digital asset platforms such as OpenSea to establish a sustainable business model. The person behind the venture states that the music industry is hindered by outdated and clunky systems, but acknowledged that there are also challenges in the blockchain space such as scams and bad actors.
LIGHTENING THINGS UP
