Stems Platform is a creative social hub for musicians to collaborate and connect with artists and fans around the globe. All that’s needed to get started is a passion for music, an internet connection, and a crypto wallet.
"make music with your favorite artist"
StemsDAO (fyi we call our community "StemsDAO" and the platform "Stems") started as a passion project by a few close friends that produced and freestyled together for fun.
Since inception, StemsDAO has evolved into a global community of artists and fans. In just a few months, dozens of Stemheads (community members who make music with stems) have created close to one hundred new records, before the platform was even live!
These musicians, together with StemSenseis (curated artists who drop stems), are the beating heart of this project, and future owners of StemsDAO.
The Stems platform fosters collaborative creativity by centering the experience around stems, which are the building blocks of music. Stems themselves are the individual audio tracks that make up a song – think the bassline of
“Seven Nation Army” by
The White Stripes.
"if music is the language, stems are the words"
These individual pieces can be reused in different tracks, making attribution of royalties at the stem level extremely powerful.
Below, musician
Jack Haze used the vocal stems from electro-pop star
Elohim's track
“running” which she released to the StemsDAO community to add his own twist and create a new work of art.
On our platform:
- Stems can be used by music makers to sample and create new music.
- Stems can be purchased by music fans and NFT collectors to support your favorite artists and earn royalties from new music created with stems. Each stem NFT is unique and represents ownership of a piece of the song.
Traditionally, the stems of high profile artists are unavailable due to the complexity of copyright law. These sounds are priceless, due to the talent and image of the people who’ve created them, as well as the shared emotions and memories that they evoke.
Many members of our community have had minimal past experience with crypto wallets; it's our goal to onboard as many people as possible to the new world of web3.
