This book offers a thorough examination of the potential of blockchain to transform musical practices. Moving beyond blockchain's financial applications, this book presents various perspectives on how this technology plays an important role in a creative, conceptual and philosophical rethinking of the current modes of artistic creation. Including contributions from leading researchers in music, arts, and technology, the chapters of the book address blockchain's capacity to reconfigure notions of agency, authorship, authenticity, provenance, and ownership in music. Taken together, these chapters challenge conventional centralized mechanisms in music creation and dissemination. They advocate for new forms of musical expression and stress the need for the artistic community to engage with blockchain technology. This book is essential reading for artists, musicians, researchers, and policymakers curious to know more about the implications of blockchain for the future of music. More than an academic exploration, it is a call to the artistic community to critically engage with blockchain technology and its consequences for creative practice of music.
