Big Brother and the Hodling Company is a podcast about music + web3, where MacEagon Voyce speaks with the pioneers working at the music-web3 crossroads. Together we're fending off Big Brother, defying the blitzkrieg of domination and death rays with good music and structural transformation.
MacEagon Voyce is a writer, musician, and tech founder. After five years of balancing culture journalism at VICE with people ops work at various startups, he founded a social music app called Grey Matter and started falling down web3 rabbit holes. He’s especially fascinated by collective ownership and realigning platform incentives around the creation of public good.
Matthew Chaim is a musician, songwriter, and the founder of Songcamp, a community of musicians, artists and strategists with a deep interest in learning what happens when music and the new internet crash into each other.
Songcamp has held three virtual, experimental songwriting camps to date, filled with lore and novel web3 mechanics. The most recent camp, Chaos, was a 77-person headless band that created 48 songs and has generated about half a million dollars in revenue.
In this episode, Matt and Keagon discuss Songcamp's evolution, from a weekly call with a few people to a lucrative music collective, and about his own evolution as a songwriter throughout the journey.
