Syd (@sydmusic) • Hey

25 years after I first started making music and posting it on the internet, I'm starting to get excited about making music and posting it on the internet a

I created a song with a recording of my daughters heart beat while she was still in the womb I think a lot about how to put emotion and life into my music.. and thus how to make it uniquely me so that I can connect and build relationships with new listeners.. I hope this connects with you ❤️ A free to collect open edition in the hope that you listen, share and care x To collect a free limited edition NFT poster for my upcoming single Pre-Save it via the link in my bio
Well. Hello Lens. See what happened was, I was using Orb on mobile. Which is a really cool product. problem is, it keeps not being able to log me in, so I don't get to post or interact with you and then I move on to whatever mobile app is sapping my will to live currently and then I forget to post and then our relationship as lens frens just withers away. Which is super sad. Because I like you. And I think I might have just got my first collected post today? Or at least someone meant to. **Anyway** how have you been? I've been good - I've been slowly building http://wkshp.xyz and I've been dropping my genesis NFT on Sound XYZ https://www.sound.xyz/syd/light-in-the-dark which was a really fun experience (and there are still editions available) And to the person who keeps bidding on this username on OS - no. No, this is me.
Hope you're having a good weekend. I've spent mine making a very (un)avoidable stinky drummer face while recording with the Echo Magic crew.
**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
Streaming did not replace CDs. TikTok will not replace streaming. NFTs will not replace either. We are misled by looking to the past evolution of physical media as a guide. These are *additive* revenue streams and connection opportunities. Take them or leave them.
I’m here to have fun building a place where me and my friends are empowered to make great music and have a chance at careers that do not rely on fame/saturation/domination to be sustainable and lucrative. \n\nYou?
🤫 Has anyone built a post scheduler for @lensxyz yet like Typefully or Tweethunter? I know that seems like very “marketing bro” to have one of those but for a parent it can be invaluable to have a place to stockpile thoughts that will come out when you’re knee deep in Legos and mushy banana. cc @christina (((((( I’m adding e X t r a c h a r a c t e r s so this doesn’t auto-post on Twitter - this orb app is very cool but there’s no character count so I’m just guessing this should probably do it )))))
**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
**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

**Big week in my move from Y2K to web3 this week.** Just sent this email to my list featuring the drop information for our async art generative piece and a how-to guide for navigating web3 that I wrote for folks who are just getting started...let the onboarding and questions begin! https://tinyletter.com/sydmusic/letters/an-nft-next-week-yes-based-on-a-new-song
@christina.lens - is there anything written that I can dig into that talks about content moderation on lens? You know, contingencies/plans for the worst case kind of stuff that all social networks need to deal with - just trying to educate myself on the fundamentals of this incredible project
Web 1: I reached a small but dedicated audience and my career took off. Web2: Helped me reach so many more people, sustained my career at first, then became an advertising business. Web3: I reach a small but dedicated audience and my career can be sustained? We’ll find out.
@christina.lens yes I did. ;-)
