In the current #solana #memecoin frenzy, I tried this new trading tool developed by a friend and his team - <https://autosnipe.ai/test/>
Dropped a track from the @lens/chalkandcheeze debut album on @lens/sound_ Submitted this piece of art to the #WeLoveTheArt contest run by the good folks at Optimism. https://www.sound.xyz/chalkandcheeze/mangalvaar
Nitish and Harshit Chachra talking about the revolutionizing power of web3 Music is the universal language of joy, transcending barriers and resonating within the depths of our souls. Circa 2002 - As a 12 year old kid, I was fascinated to watch a video of a legendary Dutch DJ gracing the mainstage at a festival and thousands of people dancing to his music. My cousin Vivek would share with me and Harshit of new electronic music via cassettes and CDs back then, and we could only imagine the joy of sharing the same music with others and make them dance. Aug 2023 - Harshit and I have come a long way in music and it was very kind of team Consensys to share our story in #web3 x #music with the world. Heartfelt thanks to all the good folks who have encouraged us brothers in this journey!

Circa 2002 - As a 12 year old kid, I was fascinated to watch a video of a legendary Dutch DJ gracing the mainstage at a festival and thousands of people dancing to his music. My cousin Vivek would share with me and @elkhefe.lens tons of electronic music via cassettes and CDs back then, and we could only imagine the joy of sharing the same music with others and make them dance.

I think everyone who started their career in #crypto should at least once attempt a proper job in a serious industry once - e.g. something that involves 101 things like showing up, showing up on time, tracking your deliverables, earning a salary and setting expectations etc...

When i work in studio on my BioGenArt pieces i often scan inspiration through music. This track drives me in altered states of consciousness... it helps me to disconnect from the so-called reel, to open creativity. We are all plugged on different frequencies… but it might initiate some experiences for you too :) This tune had no name so far, i guess baptizing it {Through the lens} makes sense for both my personal use of it & for my first steps with you on Lens. Hope u’ll enjoy. 1 matic to collect, only open for 24 hours. 25% mirror referral.

We live two lives: we live life in our thoughts and we live life as our experience of the present moment. Freedom comes as our life in thoughts diminishes and our experience of the present moment predominates. Freedom comes through learning how to balance thoughts and the present moment.
Nothing that you promised me, so now I go out of body....... Imagine yourself floating above your physical body, feeling weightless and free. As you ascend, you begin to see a shimmering, rainbow-colored portal ahead of you. You feel drawn towards it, and as you pass through, you find yourself in a surreal realm of swirling colors and shapes. You feel a sense of wonder and awe as you take in the beauty around you. The air is filled with the sweet scent of flowers, and the ground beneath your feet feels soft and spongy. The sky above you is a kaleidoscope of colors, and you can see other beings floating and dancing in the distance. You feel a sense of peace and joy, and you know that you are safe and protected. Take a moment to explore this rainbow realm, and allow yourself to be fully present in the moment. 1 WMATIC, 33% Referral, 66 editions. #music #musicnft
#11LENSTAGRAMS 04 I wrote about this in my Nifty drop and it remains true - time spent at airports can provide immersion in fantastic spaces. Everyone is often in a rush, looking at their phones, not observant of their environment. If you do as little as just look up you may catch yourself traveling in the future. Or the past. But only if you're present. 1 WMATIC open edition for 24 hours // 50% referral Minted via @lenstaxyz mobile on @lensprotocol @creators @photographers #LMCC #LENS #ARCHITECTURE #TRAVEL #GRAMSDIDIT
#11LENSTAGRAMS 03 Today is a special day: the 5 yr anniversary of the first time I snowboarded pristine Japan powder. I think it’s safe to say this was a major turning point in my life. A definitive shift in my programming. A requirement that must be met every year. 1,825 days/4 trips full of adventures later it has me completely unwilling to ever leave.

Tips of keeping your Lens feed clean 🧼 Hit that report button if the content feels violating Burn a follow NFT of a user that doesn’t reflect your taste or what you want to see frequently, there is no upside for following users whose content doesn’t bring you joy Spring cleaning makes a decentralized social graph thrive 🧹
#11LENSTAGRAMS 02 It snows here. A LOT. Never really feet at a time, just good amounts of centimeters here and there. This person must not have had anywhere important to be anytime soon.

This song is about a musical tale across the Eastern Hemisphere. We want to take you on a meditative journey to distant lands of the ancient future, using audio, organic instruments & a few vocal samples, like the 'Om' that you’ll hear throughout 🔊 This song was recorded in our home studio in Miami, FL & it came together rather quickly, due to a flow state experience. Later on, we added a guitar riff that Karma recorded live. We hope you love it as much as we do!
432 microtonal because when it rains it pours, and it's still happening. It's not in any bpm. Just made this right now even though I needed a break from the machines.. Quick wip because I had to let it out. These sounds are words. To be continued #music 44% referral, 5 wrapped matic, 10 editions
Dear, Rochelle I wrote this tune in September/October 2022 and it's a love song about a woman I used to know. I don't love the chorus but it's good enough and it's got soul. I hadn't played it in a while so I flubbed the end but I truly enjoy the chords on the verse and I kind of worked my way through the lyrics. ENJOY! #music #lens #lenscreators #musician #singer #song #guitar
David Greenstein, Founder of Sound.xyz - Unlocking Music's Value Welcome back to another season of the One Big Idea podcast. Each week I sit down with artists, founders, collectors, and thought leaders shaping the space today.

David is the co-founder of Sound.xyz, a suite of web3-native music and economic tools powering the next generation of artists and their communities.

#Blessed I feel blessed to be getting back to what I truly love doing - #DJing I used to make a living out of playing DJ sets and curating live music gigs at venues in #Bengaluru pre-2020, but post multiple lockdowns and 6 months of no work, I had to look for a full time job. Thankfully, I managed to find one in the digital music distribution space. Slowing down life from the usual social events and gigs gifted me a beautiful thing - TIME - Time to learn new skills and learn. And that gift largely helped me dig deeper into #web3 Much thanks to a very dear friend @gvargs.lens who's guided us all along in #web3 and has been a pillar of support amongst others 🙂 I feel blessed to be working in the forefront of bringing #MusicNFTs to fans in #India with the #Fantiger team now and it's been wonderful to get back to DJing again with my brother (from the same mother) @elkhefe.lens, especially showcasing our duo project @chalkandcheeze.lens This picture is from a recent sundowner gig at #ZoHouse in #Bengaluru Would be awesome to host #Lens lens fam in #India sometime @stani @bradorbradley.lens @christina.lens @mirran.lens @yoginth.lens
Here's a playlist w/- all of our #originals as @chalkandcheeze.lens incl. remixes by @elkhefe.lens released on #NammaMusic - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5s1qzN8E31m8tmm5hR9kZf Includes a collab w/- #TetseoSisters Props to angels #SandeepChowta #VikramGhatpande on making this happen 🙂
Just take 3 minutes... 🧘🏽‍♀️😊🎶 First audio post on Lens! 🔥
So diggin' this track by @ibninglor.lens sent to me as an airdrop as part of a raffle that I won 🙂 Such a dope artwork too. Much love to Ibn! https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x0e809fb748abd5b48fcf4b7327a20fafe2b54681/49/
First few days of 2023 have been so blissful for me, thanks to meeting old friends again and learning some spiritual concepts and practices from them, Advaita Vedanta being the most powerful one for me. It emphasizes on the principal of non dualism, that points to the basic Unity of everything – that ultimately, there is no division or separation between you or anything else in your experience. I visited the Ramakrishna Math in Bengaluru, IN over the weekend and picked up a book from their store, titled The Interpretations of Bhagavad Gita by Swami Ranganathananda. Excited to embrace the teachings and move forward in my spiritual journey. I feel blessed to have access to all the knowledge shared by our ancestors, and to be alive today to share the joy with y'all 🙂
Elkhefe x DubChacha - Sunrise in the East (Original Mix) Really excited to share this track with the Lens Fam. 💜Thank you for all the love and support to us artist! @christina @bradorbradley @stani @coopahtroopa @karmavioletta @weinbagz @ladidaix @timcox @levychain @blockchainbrett and more.. About Sunrise in the East: This track is draws inspiration from the eastern part of India where the sun rises, and uses traditional Indian instruments - sitar, tabla and a pinch of western element - guitar chords which blends in nicely with the drum and bass beats. As sun brings life to earth and spreads positivity and light, this track embraces these elements, right from starting of the track with an ambient intro, strong flow of emotions through sitar and vocals. Perfect to start the day with good vibes! This is also one of my best productions with @nitish.lens
