Add on-chain split payments for music NFTs

One of the big promises of Web3 was programmable ownership and programmable payments. But in music, most NFT experiments so far have mostly been about selling collectible tokens rather than fixing the underlying payment infrastructure. I came across an interesting example that tries to do something different. The track “Cigarette Machine” by [White Rose Movement](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0), which many people first heard in [*Skate 3*](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=1), has finally been released using a new format called a Rekord. What’s interesting from a Web3 perspective: • Ownership and rights information recorded on-chain • The split sheet is embedded in the asset • When a purchase happens, all creators are paid instantly according to the split • No central platform holding the money or paying out months later So instead of the typical streaming model where artists might wait months for royalties (and lose a large percentage to intermediaries), the revenue is programmatically distributed in real time. The release itself also includes more than just the track: lossless audio, stems, artwork, and demo recordings — almost like a digital equivalent of a deluxe vinyl release. Feels like a much more interesting direction for music NFTs and digital collectibles than what we saw in the 2021 hype cycle. Curious what people here think about on-chain split payments for creative works.
