Wagner's Nightmare

The first in a series on NFTs and Classical Music, and how we will be using them with Wagner's Nightmare. Our thesis: NFTs are the future of the recording industry, and musicians stand to make more money from NFTs than streaming. This is because NFTs introduce scarcity into the digital market place, decentralize distribution so that a handful of major streaming platforms do not have all the leverage over millions of un-organized musicians, and NFTs also solve some of the problems that consumers have with buying digital downloads, CDs, and Vinyl.

In this episode we discuss the difficult subject of Wagner's antisemtism - his specific beliefs and actions, historical context, the impact his antisemtism may or may not have had on the Nazis, and what we are to do about Wagner's antisemitism today.

If the viola were a human, Wagner would have been its high school bully. How Wagner got away with it is the history of classical music. We are here to stand for what's right and seek justice for those crimes against middle voices committed all the way back in the last half of the 19th century.

Daniel Orsen and Pierre-Nicolas Colombat introduce you to Wagner's Nightmare, the sprawling, gangly, multi-media empire devoted to roasting Wagner and his ridiculous legacy. We went down a few Wagnerian rabbit holes - especially nationalism, mass media, and our abiding love for Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - while explaining what this project is all about and what, exactly we are doing. Hope you enjoy!
