Arpeggi Labs is the first on-chain music creation studio that has the potential to revolutionize the way music is made and empower creators. Their digital audio workstation (DAW) allows anyone to create and mint music NFTs using CC0 samples and stems from artists around the world — all on the Ethereum blockchain.

We sat down with Arpeggi Labs' co-founders James Pastan and Evan Dhillon to talk about creating a music NFT platform, the upcoming V2 of Arpeggi Studios (their DAW), and how blockchain can change the way music is sampled forever.
