Publishing Agreement Terminated [Redacted]
After 5 years stuck in a less-then-ideal co-publishing agreement, I am now free. This document is an Option Warning Letter that my lawyer sent to my publishing company, giving them the allotted 20 business days to trigger their remaining option. Today marks the end of those 20 business days, so I am now finally out of the deal. :)
This agreement came to me at a time when I did truly needed it. I signed a record deal and publishing deal with this same company in 2019. The advance afforded me the runway to live and session in Los Angeles, and release my nearly-finished album at the time “The Mathematics Of Nature”. We wanted to work together mainly on the record deal side, since they were interested in prioritizing me as an Artist project as oppose to a Songwriter. But because my main point person worked on the publishing side of the company, that side of the deal was non-negotiable for them. And so I took it, even though my lawyer advised against it. He was right in a lot of ways, since now I am 5 years into the deal and still owe over 75% of the publishing advance back. That point person of mine also left the company many years back at this point.
Because of the way my deal was structured, I was able to send an Option Warning now. If they didn’t trigger it, I would be out of the deal for all future catalog. They do still have my back catalog up until now, and I hope to one day pay back that advance and start earning royalties off it.
It feels freeing to be out of this deal, knowing than any songs I write from today onward are mine and mine alone. I get to build up a fresh catalog that I can do whatever I like with.
With this, my focus turns more fully to the development of my onchain music catalog.

Providence
• It makes released work feel perpetual: Some of my best music I haven't minted yet because it feels like you have to absolutely nail the primary mint, since after that it was effectively all over. With a liquidity pool coming online after mint, it feels like the market around the work exists forever.
• An onchain creator royalty that feels natural: Secondary royalties on NFTs were offchain and socially enforced, until they lost that social game. With LP fees pointed back to the creator, we are using an onchain royalty that is a natural and useful incentive mechanism within the uniswap protocol to point value to creators directly from their works' markets.
• Feels more fun: The added feeling that this work could light up into a valuable liquid market makes minting more exciting. Right now this excitement is at a fever pitch, but as this protocol upgrade settles into maturity, I think that feeling just becomes this added little spark to the experience.
A few reasons I'm excited

I think it's really worth asking why we put our best work out in 2021. Part of the answer is that a lot of the best musicians at that time were hired by platforms or started platforms to help build out the space. The platforms got really interesting but did less great work get put on them?
I don't personally thinking onboarding new users is particularly interesting until we can answer why our own output changed (at least for me) in quality and quantity between 2021-2024. Having a highly dedicated core of talented and engaged users is pretty cool - I don't understand the rush to onboard the rest of the world. I'm used to building for process instead of outcome; it's much more sustainable over time.
The track [I contributed to for songcamp season 2]( is one of my favorite things i've been a involved in.
"I've been know to never quit, even when nobody gives a shit"
thank you for the paper so i could scribble a lil map down
im not even gonna touch the substance of what you're saying in the written piece here because i have so many thoughts about that moment and they're gonna come out in a really long thing I'll post later. but i wanted to share how the song makes me feel. also, this piece is so personal, and i don't think i was going to find that tone on my own but i wanted to get there. thanks for giving me a map.
Appreciate the trip down memory lane - agreed on the resonance and the special early feeling of a record feeling truly valuable and the energy behind that interaction.
Looking back at the bids takes me back to what the vibe was back then and makes me wonder how we get back there.
It's not gone forever - I think it just needs a reset.
Appreciate all you do and love the vibe of this post. Can't figure out how to mint it but has my full support!
this is a test nft but you should still mint it
