Making a Scene Presents - Touring 2035: Why Your Next Fanbase Will Come From a Wallet, Not a ZIP CodeThe touring world you know is collapsing. That old-school strategy of drawing lines on a map, circling major cities, and hoping enough people show up to cover gas is fading fast. For decades, touring was built on guesswork and geography. But the next era of touring won’t be about cities at all. It will be shaped by something far more powerful and far more honest: blockchain wallets. These wallets

But if you talk to indie artists long enough, you learn the

But most indie artists know the feeling. You sit in front of your speakers, you start turning knobs, and you hope for the best. Some days everything sounds muddy.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Pops FletcherMy story starts at age thirteen in the Roosevelt Jr. High auditorium. Three of us stood onstage with acoustic guitars, blinded by a single follow spot, singing “If I Had a Hammer” and “Blowin’ in the Wind.” I didn’t realize it then, but folk music was the doorway that pulled me into a lifetime of performing.http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents - Emotion-Driven Mixing: How AI Reads Feelings to Shape the SoundThere’s a quiet revolution happening in the studio, and it has nothing to do with new mics or fancy compressors. It’s about something deeper. For the first time ever, we have AI tools that can actually read the emotional tone of music. Not just the key, tempo, or waveform shape. I’m talking about mood, feeling, energy, and intensity. This is called emotion-driven mixing, and it’s changing everything for indie

Making a Scene Presents - Music Metadata on the Blockchain: Fixing a Broken SystemThe music industry has a weird problem that nobody outside the business talks about. It’s not streaming payouts. It’s not labels taking too much money. It’s something way more basic, almost embarrassing when you think about it. The whole industry still runs on broken metadata. Metadata is the simple information about a song like who wrote it, who produced it, who played on it, who owns the master, who owns the

The low end swells in one corner, the highs disappear in another, and your mixes fall apart the second you play them anywhere else.
