Hi there! We’re Water & Music, a newsletter and research DAO on a mission to empower the music industry with the knowledge, network and skills to do more collaborative, innovative and progressive work with technology.

This page gathers together some some useful resources, which should hopefully help you get the most out of your Water & Music membership.

Community + contributor resources

Get up to speed on W&M with full context on our editorial voice, community ethos and town hall recaps, along with instructions on how to manage your membership account.


Getting started with Discord

We know Discord can be difficult to get used to, so we've created some introductory videos, running through the structure of the Water & Music server and the main things you'll need to do before you start chatting.


Collab: Season sprints

Our flagship output as a DAO consists of longform research reports that explore emerging trends in music and technology, coming out the other side with tangible tools and accessible frameworks to help music-industry professionals navigate the fast-moving tech landscape. These reports are put together over the course of eight to ten weeks, and are many of our contributors' first touchpoint into our DAO.

Keep up to date with progress and contribution opportunities for our latest season sprints below:

Collab: Season-agnostic editorial + education

Outside of our season sprints, our team and community are developing several editorial and educational initiatives diving into music/tech trends and analysis, almost all of which involve significant input from our members.

You can view a running archive of these initiatives (and learn how to pitch us) here:
