A shared desktop where you listen to music together - BCZ YapZ with Slava (Base Rooms)
BCZ YapZ - hosted by Zaal, Better Call Zaal - with Slava (Base Rooms).
What it covers
Slava is a builder, a longtime crypto tinkerer and a former audio producer with a studio in New York City. He brings that studio ethos to Base Rooms: an online desktop with the feel of the early internet, where your Buddy visits a friend's desktop and you listen to music together. Zaal and Slava talk about building every night with AI tools, keeping art and music on chain for good, what that does to a creator's rights, and a live tour of Base Rooms, including a WaveZStation preview player we want to build.
- Try this: open Base Rooms, send your Buddy to a friend's desktop and play them a song.
