Music on TIDAL

Electric Guitars - False Flag Operation

Listen to False Flag Operation on TIDAL

If you were viewing this in #Snort the track would be playing within the client. It's really cool to see the player, album thumbnail and hear the track. Another surprise from @Kieran, kudos! The song playback is in preview mode, if you like it, click the button to listen to the full track that will then shell out to Tidal. If I were the marketing guys at Tidal, I'd be jumping all over this. It promotes their platform (Tidal) on the coolest decentralized social protocol (Nostr) and gives the "Tidal Rising" artist exposure to the ideal demographic who are consumers of digital music distribution. Now they can tip/support the artist directly. The "Just Loud / Ainsley Costello" live concert stream about 10 days ago, proved that the community on Nostr are supportive both interactively and monetarily, zapping over 7 million sats direct to the artists. Give the new "Raising" artists the ability to link their Tidal tunes into their Nostr feed then depending on the listener engagement, the artist could follow that up with a live performance stream. This is essentially touring a new release only the venue is Nostr, no tour bus required, unlimited seating, sound mix has the potential to be perfect. What a way to get the tunes seeded and in user's playlists. Concert dates at live venues could follow that. The pieces are there. This is why I came to Nostr. @jack if you are looking for someone to steer a project like this, I'm happy to throw my hat in the ring. - Vertically integrated between projects - Meets the Tidal Rising commitment - Promotes music, Tidal, Nostr and if it were to become a NIP it would be native to all clients. This is a game changer. Development will build from this momentum toward that new/new thing that will be recognized and obvious but only after we realize that everybody now wants it.

Holiday break? Why not come hang out with me on zap.stream!
