About
The problem it solves The platform will solve several challenges in the creative industry by giving the power back to new artists and fans. Many potential artists and creators lack the resources or skills to produce and distribute their work. This platform lowers those barriers by providing AI tools for song and video creation, making it easier for anyone to produce high-quality content. Today anyone can be an artist with the AI tools being generated. I have no musical talent yet I made this song with AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsq6cL7tg_U. The creative process can be significantly enhanced with AI, offering new possibilities in song and video production that were previously unattainable or would require extensive resources. My vision for the platform goes beyond OpenSea for Video, it's to create a Decentralized Music company where creatives sell rights to their work for derivatives, bounties for new music funded by, and royalty tracking that is fair and open for both fans and artists. One day, fans will be creating music videos for artists using AI and I belive The Market is ripe to combine these tools for a startup, most people are pursuing one idea, but I believe this barrier is superficial and I believe combining the capabilities of Sound.xyz , Suno.ai and LivePeer is going to fundamentally change how we consume music.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into For a hackathon, the project was too ambitious. I ran into bug after bug after bug. So much so that I mostly spent my time dealing with configuration issues rather than coding. I used other code as inspiration, but I just didn't want to copy others either. I started googling my idea and found Audio Alley which is referenced below. Instead of copying I decided to use it as inspiration, but as you know converting coding into your stack has its own issues. I simply ran out of time. I sought out mentor help, but nothing really got me over the hump, but I will finish this project. I believe this Startup is going to change the world. i don't want to waste your time judging a project that doesn't work but I'd love to pitch for you for the grant if you're open to it.
