Vulnerable

Vulnerable" is an emotional awakening in song form. It explores the idea of vulnerability being human nature; something we all go through within our lives in one way or another. Such alien and uncomfortable feelings can make us feel very alone and stagnant. The harmonic arrangements within the vocals help to reflect just how emotionally complex we are as humans and that it can be very hard to switch these emotions off at times. We hope this song connects with people on a deeper level and bring an elements of comfort to those who need it.

MINDDD [w/ Reo Cragun]

Hello web3 world, I"m Sam and this is my genesis Sound drop! I produce electronic music under the name pluko and have been doing so since I was 15. I"d say I truly identify with the title of an architect more than strictly a music producer. I am fascinated by all forms of expression and music is definitely what feels to be the most universal. I"m also constantly focusing my attention on innovation of art, technology, and human connection. When the concept of NFTs started to hit my radar, it really dawned on me how important of a role they will play in the future of art. I"ve been releasing NFTs here and there for about a year and a half, but also haven"t been releasing a ton of music. With my next project wrapping up and starting to release to the world, you can certainly expect plenty of new releases in the future.

With this song in particular, I just have a few words to share. 

Ive been incredibly fascinated with trying to infuse all of my favorite styles of music into one genre/aesthetic. I feel super proud of this one and feel that it is accomplishing exactly that. Reo Cragun and I connected through our homie Daniel Allan and we actually started writing this song all together at Daniels crib. Reo and I actually finished the track back and forth on facetime. It"s been so cool to watch the ideas progress into a final polished track.  Such amazing dudes and so fun to work with and we"ve got plenty more to share.

Sound of Fractures

Love is a mirror, whether platonic or romantic. Its this aspect of intimacy that a lot of us find so daunting; the idea that someone could ever accept us for who we REALLY are. Warts and all. This song explores that journey of doubt, vulnerability and ultimately the quest for acceptancenot from our partners but from ourselves.

Scott was the first artist I ever produced a song for under the name Sound of Fractures, so No One Knows Me Like You is the perfect song for my first release on Sound. We have a made some really amazing music together that has never seen the light of day which is one of the challenges of being a artist we both struggle with: what happens to all the emotions that we lay bare in the studio on a day to day? 

Well this is one of the beautiful and liberating things about being a creator in web3... we get to do this.

V1 
I never wanted you to see me like this 
You look into my eyes and something just clicks 
You see me like nobody else
When I feel like someone else

I never wanted you to hurt like this 
I guess you never do but thats the way it is
You see right through me love
You make me vulnerable 

Chorus
No one knows me like you

V2
You became a light in darker places 
You took the weight off i was bout to cave in 
You helped me more than you know 
You helped me more than you should 

You taught me how to love and stop the hiding 
I hope that Im enough im still deciding
I just dont want you to go
Cause no one knows me like you 

Chorus
No one knows me like you

No One Knows Me Like You ft. Scott Quinn #15

BULLS ON PARADE (with Reo Cragun, Iman Europe & Lackhoney)

This is the final song from CACOPHONY, a new project from Reo Cragun and myself. CACOPHONY is a beautiful explosion. Deafeningly loud and chaotic and intimate at the same time. 

I grew up listening to a lot of underground hip hop. Lurking on the D12World forum I discovered Rhymesayers, QN5, Immortal Technique, Del the Funky Homosapien, and many othersmy favorite tracks were always the posse cuts. Three or more rappers on a crazy beat, all with different flows and vibes. Ever since then Ive wanted to make oneit took me 9 years in the music industry but WE ARE HERE!

Im so grateful to Reo, Iman and Aly for helping me realize my dreams with this WEB3 POSSE CUT.  This has been CACOPHONY. Thank you for listening. I also hope you"ll all join my new collector chat, launched to commemorate this special occasion:

from Reo:
This song will change your life.

from Lackhoney:
When I first hit play on this one I immediately started screaming in the car about how crazy it was. Honored to be a part of it. Bulls On Parade forever. CACAPHONY forever.

High Tide

Tides represent a renewal of energy. High Tide is indicative of exactly that for this moment in my career as an artist and even more so as an early participant in web3. 

High Tide exists as a stream of consciousness reflecting on my journey this far in web3; things I"ve observed, people I love, and things I simply don"t like.

The record was recorded at Ocean View Beach Park in Norfolk, VA.
