TRUST TUNE

Music distribution
powered by math.
200-year libraries where quality is provable, compensation is transparent, and survival depends on cryptography—not corporate goodwill.
The Problem
Artists cannot verify their own earnings. Fans cannot audit platform claims. Distribution requires permission from gatekeepers who optimize for their own margins.
The music industry operates on trust enforced through gatekeeping. Labels control releases. Platforms control distribution. Both report numbers through proprietary systems months after the fact. Revenue calculations happen in black boxes. Play counts exist in private databases. Artists receive what they're told they earned.
This architecture creates systematic challenges:
- →Intermediaries capture significant revenue margins
- →Artists cannot independently verify their statistics
- →Listeners have access, not ownership—access terminates at platform discretion
- →Quality is compressed to optimize bandwidth costs
- →Discovery algorithms serve platform economics
We traded ownership for convenience, then discovered convenience came with conditions.
What is Press?
Like pressing a vinyl record. Pay once, own forever.
When you press an album, you're not renting access. You're buying it to own for 200 years.

How It Works
Press content. Artists get paid. Libraries become permanent.
Press
Listener pays → Validator verifies quality using math → Artist receives 70-85% → Content stored for 200 years
Organize
Protocol organizes search across networks (never hosts, never indexes). Community validators ensure quality.
Preserve
Verified files uploaded to permanent storage. Public or private access—your choice.
Own
Your library is cryptographically yours. No company can delete it. Math enforces ownership.
Code is open source. Payments are transparent. Storage is permanent. Math enforces everything.
The Architecture
Every component designed to survive our death.
Phase 0.5
NowDesktop app with quality-ranked search. Dual downloads for high quality and speed. Built-in player. Zero configuration. Everything bundled.
Phase 1
2025Distributed validation network. Math proves authenticity. Community validators earn tokens. Public ledger records validation certificates, analytics events, DMCA blocklist—fully auditable.
Phase 2
2026Pressing layer. Biometric authentication. Smart contracts execute tiered splits. Validators upload verified files to permanent storage. Your identity cryptographically linked to your content.
Phase 3
2027+Mobile apps. Federation protocol. Optional subscription tier (70% to artists). Immutable smart contracts OR minimal community governance. Distributed ledger majority-controlled by community.
