- Seasoning is a fully synthetic tone with a hand-made aesthetic.
Often when working on these compositions I begin with the rhythm by playing and modulating live. The modulations typically bring me to a place of hearing melody, and I build the structure in a live recording. If things go well, meaning I don’t make any mistakes, then I leave the music alone and work on the production. If things don’t go well, then knives out!
This performance is a bit different because it was made for the short film, Seasoning, as Zim + Teemo, animated by Gurleen Rai. Having a defined length and visual focus, I worked entirely on bass melody and beat modulation in my first pass. This makes the backbone of the song which allows the lead synthesizers to work alone or in tandem with the visuals to carry you through the story.
The lead synths are vocalists, narrators, and Sirens calling us through the undulating, strange encounters of a world we seem to recognize, but barely understand. These are monophonic Moog synths played individually. One is a response to the other, filling in the gaps and correcting each other as they recount. The synths are the arrhythmic response, the Seasoning if you will, to the droning, spasm that creeps and crawls us through the sub frequencies.
When experiencing Seasoning it is hard to tell which story teller is taking precedence at any given interval. It is a story that must be examined from every facet; sometimes as a new person.
- My daughter made this in art class today. It has a strange air of familiarity to it... Hmmm.

- WARNING. WARNING.
Two AAVEGOTCHI 0s escaped their containment at https://fakegotchis.com and are somehow listed for sale. Did they... list themselves??
Just in case you haven't heard, please, DO NOT BUY THESE GOTCHIS. They have a mind of their own, and there's something deeply wrong with them.

- Do you have a FAKE Gotchi card coming your way, but no idea what to do with it?
Do you want to contribute your very own piece of art to adorn the Gotchiverse, but don't know where to start?
LMK. I'd be happy to do some commissions for people.
I make, you pay me, you own, you sell, you profit.
Hit me up, frens.

- Hot tip: Most (all?) of my paid collects on Lenster have a 75% commission.
That means all you have to do is mirror them, then sit back to earn a 75% profit on my work, passively.
Go nuts, anon.
- The saga of #gotchizero is complete... for now. You can learn all about the FAKE gotchi at https://blog.aavegotchi.com/fake-gotchis-reveal-11-more-epic-crypto-artists/
Keep your eyes peeled for the Genesis release on October 20th!
- After my last update, I had been dreading the next step, but I knew what I had to do.
I went through the steps again, this time using a different burn address. Both NFTs were transferred, and out of my wallet. I had a sick feeling in my stomach, though. This was not over.
Sure enough, I checked in later that night, and there were four.
AAVEGOTCHI 0
AAVEGOTCHI 0
AAVEGOTCHI 0
AAVEGOTCHI 0
All with the exact same weird stats and image. Weirder still–the kinship had decreased even more. Each gotchi showed "Kinship: -3". Was it… getting angrier?
I burned all four of them and went to bed. I couldn't take any more of this for the day.
I checked again the next day. Now there were eight. They each had -4 Kinship.
I burned them again. Immediately, there were sixteen, with -5 Kinship.
That was two days ago. I took yesterday off of work. I sent 32 individual AAVEGOTCHI 0s to 32 individual wallets, and from those individual wallets, I sent them each to a separate burn address. It took a full 8 hours and more transactions and gas fees than I care to recount.
If you've been paying attention, you can probably guess what happened next. I checked in this morning, and had 64 AAVEGOTCHI 0s in my wallet, each with -7 kinship. There is no transaction history from any of my madness yesterday (though the MATIC I paid for gas was still missing).
I give up.
I'm uploading these to Aavegotchi's marketplace (NOT BURNING, OK???) in the hopes that they will be contained.
I implore you:
DO NOT BUY THESE GOTCHIS, LEST WE BOTH BECOME CURSED.
#gotchizero
- This is getting out of hand.
Not only has AAVEGOTCHI 0 mysteriously returned, but now there are two??
Two of the same "non-fungible" gotchi, in my wallet. AND the transactions showing that I burned it completely gone.
I am still fairly new to this blockchain stuff, but one thing I know for sure is that the blockchain is supposed to be immutable. Once a transaction is made, there is a record of it, forever, until the end of civilization. But I cannot, for the life of me, find the transaction which had sent this gotchi to the burn address. And now there are two of them.
I am officially losing my mind.
#gotchizero
- Go give your mom a hug. It won't be an option forever.
- Am I losing my mind?
I was just going about my normal workday flow and glanced at my crypto wallet. Resting there, with its straight-line, almost-smile, was AAVEGOTCHI 0.
Does anyone know how this is possible? I don't understand.
I could have sworn I'd burned him a few days ago. I even posted about it here. But there he is, sitting in my wallet. I checked, and oddly enough (at least according to the transaction history), that NFT has not moved from my wallet since I purchased him.
I figure I must've gotten distracted or something… but I *remember* doing it. This is wild.
Take a look one last time, frens. This is the last we'll be seeing of AAVEGOTCHI 0.
I'm certain of it this time.
#gotchizero
- As some of you know, I spent a fair amount of time trying to find an Aavegotchi of my own. I am happy to say that I was able to find one in my price range! Had to traverse all sorts of weird NFT sites to find him, and I almost gave up because of the bad vibes, but then... there he was.
He's got an ID of 0. That's got to be pretty rare, right?
#gotchizero
- Since it didn't look like I was going to be able to sell this creepy gotchi, I decided to burn it.
While I knew that it wasn't possible to delete an NFT (due to that whole "non-fungible" thing), I had heard that it was possible to "burn" them by sending them to a dead address. I looked one up, and transferred AAVEGOTCHI 0 to the address.
"So long, paartner," I muttered. It was time to start saving again.
#gotchizero
- So I was a bit worried after last time that I had cracked my laptop screen in my haste when shutting it. Luckily, everything appeared to be intact, and what was more, my gotchi's appearance had returned to normal. Was it possible that I had imagined the whole thing?
I considered trying to take AAVEGOTCHI 0 into the Gotchiverse, but something tugged at the back of my mind. No, I decided, this was not the gotchi for me. I'd sell it to someone else and continue saving for a different one.
I typed the URL for the original site where I had purchased the gotchi. I was greeted with a 404 error–"Page Not Found." Odd.
I headed over to OpenSea, and tried to list it there, but received an error: {"code":-60606,"message":"execution halted: illegal ID"}.
It seemed I was not going to be able to sell this gotchi back after all.
#gotchizero
- So sorry for the delayed updates on this. I took a long weekend to travel with my family, and only logged in a few times. I was able to get my new gotchi to show up in front of the portal to enter the Gotchiverse – awesome. Then… some weird stuff started happening. At first I thought maybe it was the weird hotel internet, but now I'm not so sure.
I went to log in, and I was thrilled to see AAVEGOTCHI 0 listed and available for me to use to explore the 'verse. Normally, at this point, I was prompted to go rent an Aavegotchi from someone else in order to play. This was going to be my first time signing in with my very own gotchi. This was going to be the start of something amazing–or so I thought.
I went ahead and clicked on my new gotchi, then selected "CLICK TO ENTER." Instead of moving toward the portal as my rented gotchis had done before, its eyes… grew? Then they began to glow a creepy red.
The gotchi looked at me, and I could sense a raging hatred emanating from it. It stared at me, looking me right in the eye, and began to shake, like it was going to vibrate right through my screen. That's when I knew that I had made a terrible mistake. I slammed my laptop screen shut and walked away.
I didn't sleep super well that night.

- Might just post it as a hecka long Lens post (or a series of posts? I don't know what length limits they have), and leave it up here for people to collect... Then I can link to the NFT when it's set up.
What say you, frens?
- So... I had this great backstory for my @fakegotchis creation all written up.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of the 120 character maximum that was announced for the description field.
- I'd like to thank @thrax.lens for my aanimated PFP, based on my original Aavegotchi Self Portrait. I can use it on Lenster without paying for a fancy subscription. WOOT! Make sure to watch for this #aavegotchi master's future work.

- As a storyteller and someone who has a strong respect for truth, sometimes I find myself in a precarious position. I want to entertain, and I want my stories to be believable, but at the same time, I don't want anyone to feel deceived or mislead.
I am planning to start offering some teasers into my upcoming @FAKEgotchi , and you will be welcome to collect them on Lenster.xyz . For the sake of my own clear conscience, I'd like you to be warned ahead of time that they are fiction. They'll be denoted with #gotchizero
You have been warned.

Spoiler alert: it has a backstory.
- Ok frens, I am slowly getting set up with @lenster.lens .
What do I need to do to hide garbage NFTs from my "NFTs" section, so that only the ones I want to display show up on my profile, and not the scammy/spammy advertisements?
