Stemstr is a wonderful idea that sets out to inspire and facilitate open musical collaboration between musicians and producers.

Cyphstr is also a great idea but pairing ready made beats with rappers is a separate product.

splice and beatstar are different things with different end users, their nostr corolaries can attract those very different end users to nostr.

if you want me to upload some beats for y'all to rap over I will but it doesn't seem like I would be helping stemstr be stemstr. This isn't to say vocalist can't play a roll on stemstr but that would be providing producers with acapellas to piece together and managle into their production. As far as DJ’s & mixes, that's a 3rd product called mixstr. Separating these is gonna put off the inevitable take down request and not kill the whole thing in one swoop.

I don't think anybody (including me!) knows what Stemstr is yet - it can be to you whatever you'd like it to be! That's what's beautiful about this moment 💜 the one thing that seems definitely true is what you said about open collaboration between musicians and producers ☺️

Let's give this thing space and freedom to take shape - that's all I'd ask of anyone who's in the early access program

I think it’s really important to get different note kinds in at minimum so that when Sony comes for that Lauren Hill sample or re-record, and the many more questionable uses that probably will come down the line, at least you can skip paying for automated digital rights analysis of the entire back catalog.

As a fan of bootlegs and bootleg artist myself, I do hope that nostr does offer something for the dark side but mixing these things up isn’t fair to either those complying or those who are evangelizing the platform to only be kicked off for compliance later.

The techs great and you good at branding, I think forking these out to multiple micro apps is the nostr way. But at minimum note kinds so the whole festival doesn’t get shut down because of one stage.
