BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Blockchain
music company VOISE is excited to announce
a date for the launch of its full alpha version of a decentralized
platform for downloading and streaming music from global artists.
Timed for Oct. 18 after a successful
tokenswap, VOISE has already been well received by renowned
independent artists, such as Grammy-nominated Carolyn Malachi and DJ sensation Jinco.
Decentralized music pioneer VOISE is closely approaching
the launch of its eagerly awaited platform, with an Alpha version
set to launch on Oct. 18 with
ready-to-test features sure to please music fans and artists. After
successfully reconciling its recent coinswap, VOISE tokens will
expand its listing on major exchanges as preliminary work on the
platform continues. VOISE will be listed on one of the top 10
exchanges in terms of volume within the next week.
The global music industry and the Internet
Last year, the global music industry collectively breathed a
huge sigh of relief. After almost two decades of steadily declining
revenue from album sales, largely due to piracy and falling prices,
the industry finally caught a break in 2016. Multiple major record
labels recorded their highest profits in years despite the
continuing trend of falling CD sales – thanks to online
streaming.
2016 was the second consecutive year for growth of streaming
revenue, and 2017 is likely to show similarly positive numbers.
With more than 110 million paying subscribers online, and more
labels and musicians still adapting to these new ways of consuming
music, there is every reason to believe that the music industry is
in rebound.
Yet some old issues remain, particularly for independent
artists, who still struggle with the high costs of distribution if
they do it themselves, or who are forced to accept the high
commissions (between 15 to 40% of revenue generated) as a result of
uploading their music to major platforms for paid downloads. It
becomes even worse if artists choose a streaming service – as these
take even larger cuts.
VOISE – a blockchain-based platform for music artists and
listeners
VOISE believes that the heart of the problem lies in the current
model of unfair distribution of revenue. Its decentralized platform
addresses this directly, seeking to
give all revenue generated from music content to
the creators, the music artists.
Recognizing the steep learning curve of previous attempts at
technically complex decentralized and blockchain-based music
platforms, VOISE will also focus on simplicity. Its platform will
be easy to use and will accept fiat payments, so as to provide an
inclusive environment for mainstream users. VOISE will unite both
crypto enthusiasts and average music consumers in their common love
for music.
And now, the very first glimpse of the VOISE platform is close
at hand – and a countdown has already started on the
VOISE homepage. On October 18,
VOISE will launch its Alpha platform that will feature a
full-fledged list of features.
VOISE Alpha features for music lovers and creators
From the homepage, users will be able to directly access music,
whether choosing from popular music from the top downloads, or
sampling the latest clips from latest uploads. Users can also find
new and old music by searching in thematic sections, categorized by
favorite genres and artists.
All music purchased will also be listed in a My Collections
folder for easy access. A wallet section will also be available,
allowing users to deposit and withdraw either in VOISE tokens or
ETH.
The VOISE Alpha platform will also host Radio DAO, a streaming
service for future announcements for the VOISE community. Top
artists will be promoted via Radio DAO and it will feature a unique
community voting concept where users will select their favorite
radio service – and share any profits obtained.
Music artists can also access the VOISE Alpha platform to upload
songs and albums at their own price. Alternatively, they can set a
0 price to let users download it for free and accept donations
instead.
Artists can also access a profile section to provide details of
their music ad add links to social media. Fans will be able to
follow and donate to their favorite artists via their profiles.
And much more down the road
The VOISE community can look forward to even more exciting
developments as work continues on the music platform of the future.
The successful tokenswap in September with a good rate already
positions VOISE for future listings on major exchanges. VOISE
tokens are gaining recognition, having been added
to CoinMarketCap, Livecoin and CoinExchange,
with $800,000 daily trading volume
and currently trading at 800 satoshis.
VOISE has also updated its development roadmap, which will see
upcoming work on attracting more collaborators for the platform,
building more partnerships in the music industry, an artist
verification system and search engine. Recognizing South Korea as an emerging market, VOISE also
has plans to reach out by creating a South Korean music community
to attract investment.
It has also initiated efforts to seek partnership with the
Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, the world's largest open-source
blockchain alliance connecting Fortune 500 enterprises with
Ethereum experts.
