This yea has been life changing for me and changed my experience of being a creator, I’ve set out on a whole new journey which coincided in my discovering Web3 perfectly. Ive been able to experiment with different tools from my first release and I’ve learnt so much and met so many new friends and inspiring people I want to finish the year how I started with the aim to simply introduce more people to my music, I’m going to continue to experiment and post a some custom content on lens for everyone to collect and share. The footage is edited and shot by Maria De Carvallo and is taken from the WEb3 Music event I helped organise with Token Traxx and Music NFT Network Thanks for all your support!
**LAUNCH DAY** for our first NFT: even crazier than I thought it would be. \n\n**TRANSFORMATION** from wanting to do it to doing it: complete. \n\n**MORE** info, our story and the piece 👉 http://wkshp.xyz/syd-litd
**Quotes from my existing audience reacting to our NFT drop.** 😂 - "This is the hardest way to give you $30 I can possibly imagine " 🥴 - "I have no idea what I just bought, homie - but anything for you!" 😳 - "I really enjoyed what I hear and see…I have no idea what I'm supposed to do though…" 🫣 - "is this the dark web? Is it still www.? Or are we supposed to have one of those sliders over our cameras?" 🤞 - "Sincere respect for doing this, especially during arguably the most disastrous, ridiculous time in the history of NFTs. You're inspiring." 🤝 -"I'm grateful to have a web3.0 pioneer in my circle, and I look forward to hearing about the frontier." 😬 - "I dig this song!!!! I'm sketched on crypto but i love you." **My thoughts:** The *entire point* of this piece is *connection* and these are all opportunities to connect.🔌⚡️ How early we are in the space. 🌞 GM indeed. The folks that *are* web3 native are relatively few! If you're one of them consider a RT, a post or a shout-out for ＬＩＧＨＴＳ. It could lead to connections we couldn't make on our own. 🙏 https://async.market/blueprints/636d91b6852758469436116f/syd-sidney-lights
SOO excited to launch the first NFT from WKSHP (https://www.wkshp.xyz/), a group of friends making art and exploring how to release it into web3. Presenting 'Lights' by @sydmusic.lens & ATW, a generative audiovisual piece out now on Async. Big love to everyone building and exploring different ways to create and release art, and to the many folks that lent us a hand as we embarked on this project. In an art ecosystem that is wonky and shifting, I truly think the punkest thing you can do right now is just make and buy art. Proud to be doing that w/ dope, generous folks. If you dig what we're laying down, we would love for you to grab one. But also, I see everyone in the web3 ecosystem supporting so many artists, and that rules so hard. Make more weird things! Support things you connect with! Share the joy of art in any way you can! They're live here: https://async.market/blueprints/636d91b6852758469436116f/syd-sidney-lights
**Light In The Dark (Live Acoustic)** This song won't be out until Jan 2023 ....The "ghosts" from the full production are in my new Async piece coming out next week....This video is exclusive to Lens....*THEREFORE* you know more about this song than anyone in the world because we're lens frens. I mean, that seems cool to me?! But not as cool as these hashtags! #guyinthestudio #singersongwriter #y2ktoweb3
Not the doom/dub style crossover you were talking about in your latest newsletter @motiveunknown.lens -- but the Sabbath cross you posted makes me think you might like this latest take on Planet Caravan from Psychic Temple. Buncha total rippers playing in this band, including Jeff Parker going off on a long solo. A+++ stuff! https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2022/09/01/psychic-temple-plays-planet-caravan/
Last night we released 4 remixes by 4 of the most talented producers in web3! i wanted to bring together 4 creatives who have been building community in unique ways in unique timezones to encourage us all to be building as a scene. Listen to all the music hear and learn about them all @greenring.lens @iamkabuki.lens Three Oscillators and AmbieNFT https://soundoffractures.xyz/
"There is no such thing as a web3 artist, just entrepreneurial artists embracing new tools at their disposal to better create and connect." - @Verite
As good a time as any to share my own music (under the name Fine Form), and a link to my artist hub over on Nina. Big ups to Nina for being my personal favourite music NFT platform -- they value creating tools that help artists create context around their work above all else, and it shows. <3 <3 https://hubs.ninaprotocol.com/fineform
I chatted w/ the wonderful folks at Byta / byta.com about my process of music listening and discovery! w/ shouts out to my favs for music curation and discovery! - Debaser (https://www.debaser.ca/) - https://futuretape.xyz/ - https://www.spinamp.xyz/ - https://ninaprotocol.com/ - https://aquariumdrunkard.com/ Byta rules btw - go check it, artist pals!❤️‍🔥🙏 https://byta.com/howwelisten/interview/brodie-conley/
Perfect fall weather and Friday morning coffee pairing: A recent recording of Joan Shelley and her wonderful band live at Colony in Woodstock recorded by nyctaper. Absolutely breathtaking stuff ❤️ https://www.nyctaper.com/2022/09/joan-shelley-september-23-2022-the-colony-woodstock-ny/
Digging in on this new Deluxe edition of Wilco's classic 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot', and am pretty enamoured with a few of the alternate versions. This take on Hummingbird is a complete departure from the piano groove of the original release, but the weird obtuse guitar line that comes in periodically is kinda doing it for me. https://open.spotify.com/track/6ZiHtgAhZR9F57PiUdK99T?si=86425a9375784994
New jams from Joseph Shabason (another friend and grant client!) and Nicholas Krgovich are smooth as silk. New age meets jazz meets psychedelic. Big thumbs up from me! https://open.spotify.com/album/5VSKOi2OuhlYD64podCKME?si=monAdSqjRGGBupkyHt6D0w
Nick Cave's newsletter continues to be a must read: "In my experience, inspiration is not something that finds you, or offers itself to you, nor for that matter is faith. Inspiration and faith are similar in so far as they both ask something of us. They each require real and constant practical application." https://www.theredhandfiles.com/i-feel-so-uninspired/
Latest lengthy blog post from Penny Fractions / David Turner is a must read on the history of the transition into digital music, and how the popular narrative of piracy breaking everything doesn't quite nail the reality of what happened. A must-read if you're someone building solutions for music in web3. Know your history, folks! https://pennyfractions.ghost.io/how-piracy-shaped-music-part-1/
Working with a new grant client, Anna B Savage, and am utterly blown away by their latest release. One of those first-listen, mind blown, play on repeat a zillion times experiences right here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4SGVpYAJiLhX4ucz9loiIX?si=b54fb282931d481f
