International Scope with local IRL presence (collective with a platform, rather than a platform with empowered users)

# data[].attributes.body
International (we're already there)

Do we want to have local cohorts?

Do we serve independent musicians or larger/signed artists too?

Emma and Austin had an interesting conversation with Kindess about this.

Yolk: Musicians/ Workers
White: Adjacent music orgs, local music scenes

# data[].attributes.body
yolk: independent artists + people fostering sustainable music communities

white: ppl who give grants to co-ops, audiences

# data[].attributes.body
YOLK: hundreds of artists
WHITE: Contributors, Community, Partners, . . . .

What about? producers/engineers, music workers. . .

Growing group of artists empowered to create work through the support of fans -- yolk is artists with the idea of sustainability in music-making, as opposed to solely material success, being the big picture goal. Sustainability comes through forging long-term bonds with fans, engaging with community of supporters.

Measuring scale of impact not solely in terms of number of artists, but in stability of their growth and success on Ampled.

Yolk = Artists!
Contributors had a definition of that at some point that I liked...something like 'Anyone who plays or creates music'.
White = Community, Contributors, maybe someday Funders, although that's not super well defined.

Core - Various Music Communities
Periphery - Supporters of those communities, supporters of the concept of Ampled

Ampled is here to serve 10,000 artists and however many workers it takes to do that with aplomb!  (yolk)

Ampled also serves the broader music community and those adjacent and/or interested, allowing 100,000 people to fall in love with new music, support their favorite artists and new ones, and contribute to creating a model for the potential of cooperatives in the new economy (the egg white).

I often think of the artists that have a fan base, but are not "signed".
