Pixelynx is a new venture that is focussed on blurring the lines between music, blockchain and gaming. We are building technology and acquiring equity in a range of startups that will form the foundation of how music is experienced in the metaverse. Pixelynx was founded by veterans and music visionaries including deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, Seven20 and Graphite Media. We are building a global network of artists, visionaries and startups that are passionate about re-imagining how the music industry evolves through Web 3.0 and the metaverse. Conversations about the rise of Web3 technology and the metaverse are already taking over the boardrooms at all the monolithic giants that control the current network of platforms that musicians, fans and gamers rely on. At the same time, a new generation of startups are moving faster than light to establish an alternative system of operating that is based on transparency, trust and collaboration. We are working to accelerate and amplify this new wave of companies by helping them solve issues that impact musicians, fans and gamers. We believe the music and gaming industries will converge over time in exciting new ways and this presents a unique opportunity to create visionary new companies that push culture and society forward. Pixelynx is building technology that will transform the way music is consumed in virtual worlds whilst also building a network of complementary businesses.
CÜR Media, Inc. is developing a new streaming music experience that intersects Pandora and Spotify for listening on the web and mobile devices. CÜR Media, Inc. is based in Connecticut, and is led by Tom Brophy, a successful digital media entrepreneur, and entertainment and music industry veterans John A. Lack (creator of MTV, Nickelodeon, ESPN2, and The Movie Channel) and Bob Jamieson (former Chairman/CEO of RCA Records). CÜR Music began testing in early 2012 as Raditaz, a DMCA compliant Internet radio product, and has developed web, iPhone and Android applications that in beta had over 150,000 monthly unique users. The Company plans to launch its enhanced product offering later this year with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign. The market for streaming music access is massive. The $6.7B US recorded music market is shifting from CDs and music downloads to streaming music (access models). 275 million people over the age of 6 still listen to the radio and spend 15 hours per week listening, and more than 120 million people use some form of Internet radio in the US every month.
