Async Music Blueprints

This Edition"s metadata will be revealed shortly.

Unrevealed Edition

Climate change is the largest looming threat to humanity. According to the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in New Delhi, our annual carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions have grown by about 70 times since the pre-industrial era, reaching nearly 36.4 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2019. Unless we bring them down to 18.22 Gt by 2030, we are headed for catastrophic climate events. 

The first classical Music Blueprint on Async, "Element" translates the sounds of the natural world into the language of the string quartet with two types: before and after the destruction of natural resources
caused by industrialization, colonization, and overconsumption. Each layer of the string quartet (violin 1, violin 2, viola, and cello) has four different states (fire, water, air, and earth) that are each played differently. 

EARTH - matter of fact, march-like, full and deep tone
AIR - otherworldly, harmonics, ponticello, airy tone
WATER - legato, glissandi, pizzicato, syncopated 
FIRE - staccato, tremolo, agitated, chopping

A portion of sales from this project will be donated to the Clean Air Task Force (www.catf.us), who work to curb air pollution in all its forms through regulation at the US state and federal levels.

Composed by Kaitlyn Raitz 
Performed by the Atwood Quartet
Recorded and mixed by Chris Leidhecker
After sound designing by Eric Wright
Art by Jana Stblov

The inaugural generative audio visual project from the artist COLDICE. An experiment with the async.art Blueprint+ system. I was surprised with the result and am happy to share it in the virtual space. I should be able to go further into this generative audio visual digital medium then I did with this song. It calculated 750+ unique combinations but I'll allow 333 to be minted. For the sake that it is art created by a singular person and this was successful in my opinion. I did not create a legendary NFT for this project but you can catch me performing this song from the home studio via Twitch if you visit my website. Plus I have other songs and artistic ideas for such a complex experience that I feel Async could possibly provide. Just keepin it moving and hope you find it interesting.
Thanks,
COLDICE

Knowing how we're all moving toward the digital realm, it only made sense for me to give this a try, since I have not yet noticed any other organist even dare to enter the world of NFTs.

Behold, thanks to how programmable NFTs work, I've prepared different variants according to the crescendo (loudness) level of the virtual pipe organ I was using to produce this Organ Cover, ranging from the originally produced track, to pp (pianissimo) through ff (fortissimo) to full organ (a.k.a. tutti).

To explain the story behind why I chose to go with this particular piece of classical music, the name should explain itself. Since NFTs are pretty revolutionary in of themselves, it only made sense for me to choose this piece to be my first one to convert into an NFT version for Async, and to introduce organ music to the NFT realm in this manner.

Mix #3

SOUNDSOFJPG ALBUM is not any ordinary NFT-Music. It"s a historical artistic experimentation. 

It"s the first ever album that were made from images (JPG Files), a continuation from Cryptophobia (CP) sound-collectible project: SoundsOfJPG, where he generated sound from RGB Histogram data of JPG files. SoundsOfJPG collection have gained a big recognition among the Crypto-Art scene, It"s been collected by some names like XCOPY,Trevor Jones, Misan Harriman and Claire Silver among others. 

Now, in this Album, CP expand his experimentation by featuring art from artists: DORKHOLM, CRASHBLOSSOM, ROBNESS, and TUUKZS , generated their JPG files into sound, and combining it with his drum-machine.

SoundsOfJPGAlbum #4

"INTERMINABLE layers/liars" is composed of 3 songs in different styles with lyrics in Spanish and English, telling 1 story: the manipulation of our lives into the hands of politicians and their hidden interests.

Part 1 - Liars: one truth is revealed
Part 2 - Interminable: the repercussions in our life
Part 3 - Layers: the realization that it'll never end :(

INTERMINABLE is intended as a snapshot of current times; 3 genres, 8 layers, 26 stems. 4 legendary editions, each visual layer reacts to its musical stem. 

Chance and scarcity are part of our lives and can change our ways, we simply don't know when or how.  Same thing with these songs thanks to Async Blueprints generative component, they will be random and unique, out of our control.  (*_)
