🗞 Refraction Editorial Highlight
For this season's Creatives First theme we asked some of the amazing applicants to our S02/03 Creative Grants for an exclusive mix and to discuss their experiences in the music space and "the promise of web3." In "Creatives First: Perpetual Care", Henry Ivry is in discussion with Joel Eel, who shares his perspective on the music industry's status quo and creating amidst an age of streaming and algorithms.
Check out the editorial piece and be sure to show some love to Joel Eel's exclusive mix and his supersonic label that is Perpetual Care.
