- **Old School**
We’re taking it back to the old school on this one. 8-bit NES games, the discovery of hip-hop music, skateboarding on ramps we built on the street outside our home…
I originally called this song “Thursday”, which happened to be the day on which it was written. It’s one of the first songs I wrote. I was in high school, learning how to properly play the guitar. I had started playing finger-style guitar around this time, and figured out a funky right hand pattern which became the basis of the song. I played it quite a lot, but never made a proper recording. So it feels good to finally release this to the world!
Lastly, a note about the message in the lyrics - when I was younger, I really tried to be an optimist; I wanted to see the best in people and in the world. Sometimes it was really, REALLY hard. But I always tried, and keep trying to this day. So, this is a song dedicated to those constantly working on transcending our differences and lifting each other up - because we’re better off as a species that way.

- From Monotony to Mastery: Making Piano Scales Fun and Engaging
Hi lens frens 🌸
Have you ever questioned the importance of scale practice? Consider the nature of piano pieces—how often do we play both hands in unison? Rarely, right? Most of the time, our hands are engaged in different melodies, requiring coordination and attention to multiple voices. By practicing two different scales simultaneously or with intervals apart, you enhance your ability to synchronize both hands effectively,. This technique not only fosters hand coordination but also trains our minds to swiftly and effectively transition focus between various elements.
Clarification regarding intervals:
I specifically chose intervals 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 7th since pianists typically train to play scales 3rd or 6th apart. I find playing 2nd and 7th intervals apart particularly challenging; however, the benefits of this practice are tremendous.
Drop any questions or suggestions in the comments!
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and leaving comments. Appreciate it:)
- **Questions for Music NFT creators:**
- Outside of Lens, where is your go-to platform for creating Music NFTs?
- Is Ethereum the best chain for a "serious" collection or do you recommend another chain?
- Do you keep the content exclusive to that NFT? (i.e. If it's a track you wouldn't release it elsewhere)
- What mint size do you consider optimal?
- Any other advice for noob when create music NFTs?

A little dreamy noise with my Fender Rhodes and my old Electro Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe. Enjoy the crackle and the odd out of tune key.

- **Solo Staking Project - Day 1**
So I don't have 32ETH and even if I did I'm not sure I'd want to risk it with my limited technical abilities. This reduces my options quite drastically. In fact, it looks like I have one option. A Rocket Pool minipool. Well that makes things easy I guess.
Apparently I can spin up a node with 16ETH or now even just 8ETH and some RPL. Actually, quite a lot of RPL, currently for an 8ETH minipool you need 2.4ETH worth of RPL. The rest of the ETH is made up from people doing regular staking with Rocket Pool. You also earn some extra rewards from that ETH for hitching a ride on your validator.
As it happens using Rocket Pool seems like a great place for a beginner like me to start. Not only is the ETH requirement smaller but Rocket Pool seems to have some great step-by-step guides to help get this thing going. We'll see how fool proof they are later I guess.
So, as there is a non-zero chance that I lose this ETH with some tech catastrophe I'll take the least risky option and go with an 8ETH minipool. Decision made, looks like I'll need to acquire some RPL.
Next the bit I'm looking forward to: Getting my hand on some hardware! eBay here I come!

- Video & words by @ooramusic.lens ‘My friend @djtobineumann.lens came by at 3:03 pm reminding me that today is 3/03, so I had to shoot a quick celebratory video. The Roland 303 was my absolute first love , thanks to @richiehawtin.lens and @tilliander.lens music. I used and abused it, and still today its sound is foundational for my music.
Happy 303 day!

Improvised the other day...felt a bit gloomy but then felt so much better after playing piano :)
Does this happen to anybody? Music can be so therapeutic!

- From last night's rehearsal of Whirl!
This piece started off as a programmable string quartet for the platform Async. It's now one of my most-performed works which makes me smile — the classical music world is generally against web3.
I wonder if they know that Whirl is also an NFT...🤔
There's a hidden structure in Whirl, all of the individual parts can also work as solos or interchangeable duets and trios. The performance is tonight in Nashville!
- hello lens 💜
i’m so thrilled to be here.
i've been involved in this ecosystem since 2017 and despite the ups and downs i'm still so excited and enthusiastic about how this technology can empower artists to break away from the music industrial complex. more importantly, allow creators to connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. it's the best time ever to be an independent artist.
although my main gig has always been music, i've always been a visually oriented person. in fact, in 2002 i almost went to design school instead of music. i often wonder how things would have turned out. i've been lucky enough to work with amazing visual artists over the years to craft album artwork and a cohesive vision, but lately i've been dabbling with creating my own.
which brings me to this image, an abstract architectural space, somewhat liminal but i find it weirdly comforting. it's a free collectible for following me on this journey.
i'll be posting music, art, video and combinations of all three.
a million thanks to the lens team for helping me get the coveted 3 letter handle.
