    Lots of people are making money selling "NFTs". What is an NFT and can it help YOU as an artist? Some simple things you can do to check it out and see for yourself.

    P.s. Let's not eat each others' faces.

  • BANDCAST and the future of AUDIO Episode 10 12.12.2020

    In this episode, Noah asks Jeff all about his new toy: how it came about, what it does, what it can and will do.  They discuss the benefits of voice chat over text. Finally, they chat about the possible future of audio and mobile voice communication.

    BandcasT is the app we've been using to create this show. It's a live chat app and podcast recorder made for mobile devices that focuses on ease of use and GREAT SOUND QUALITY. You can invite friends to a call and make a recording to immediately publish. It finalizes at the push of a button, but also allows you to access individual tracks if you're a pro and want to edit and mix yourself. Notice there are almost no internet drops, pops or clicks, and the quality is DAMN GOOD for a friggin phone.


    It's in beta, and available for iphone, Android coming soon. Contact @keyword_jj for info or if you'd like to join the testers.
