Hey everybody!

In case you were curious, turns out howdy diddly doo does just as well as normal greetings for the open rate.

It’s been a very interesting week, so lots to read. Also follow my Twitter feed where I share things that may not be as relevant to music. It’s also a good place to start a conversation.

I’ve been working on a Beats playlist on Spotify. Big collection of bass heavy beats - and I’ve tried to stay clear of trap & dubstep. Check it out and enjoy the articles!

Love,

Bas

From me, for you

Are you creating or are you building?

Creation for the sake of creation is great.

But if you’re striving to achieve something, then the path of random creations is one where you’ll depend on luck and pure chance.

So let’s look at how you can turn your creation process into building a greater context.

Virtual reality and post-architecture

Moving beyond the novelty factor and investigating what creating VR experiences really means. “It’s not about designing space. It’s about designing people through space.”

You rarely livestream, but 1M people livechill on Houseparty

A look at one of the many livestreaming apps. The header makes a good point: just because you’re not doing it, and don’t know anybody who does, doesn’t mean it’s not popular. Just take Musical.ly & Live.ly for example.
