Wild Awake is a game, pt. 2
In part 1, we asked how we can play a game together when we don’t know the rules to the game yet. Wild Awake is an experiment in scene building. And while we don’t know the rules yet, we can delineate several things that determine how we play the game. First, there’s the idea of open-world game play, where the actions of users determine their own narrative. Second, there’s the notion of delight and surprise - meaning that players need unexpected elements to keep them active. Next up are more ...

Iris Ell
Wild Awake fifth drop artist - Iris EllWe probably all have memories of long drives listening to music. Iris Ell is no different and it was her sister who put music on an MP3 player and introduced her to artists that combine musical intensity with breath-taking songwriting. It was while listening to artists like James Blake or The Knife that Iris Ell wanted to learn how to do that herself. Now, we have an artist coming into her own skin, exploring her musical capabilities, and the power of he...

Wild Awake is a game, pt. 1
In the heyday of the bull market, every group of people working on something together became a DAO. Everything was ‘emergent strategy’, but now - in the midst of the bear market - it’s more fashionable to question whether a DAO can even function without centralized decision making. Why did we all think that DAOs could allow people to work on things in a fully emergent way? Was it just the positive wave of the bull market? There’s an argument that a lot of it was to do with what can be called ...

Clyma
Wild Awake fourth drop artist - ClymaClyma has been through a process to get to be the artist he is now. What started with The Infadels deformed and then formed into Snow Palms. Musically, this is a voyage from electronic rock to the kind of composed music associated with minimalism. Personally, it was not as straightforward, but necessary nonetheless. The next step is, again, both musical and personal. Musically, Clyma takes a left from Snow Palms into a more alternative electronic arcade. P...

Wild Awake trusts you
One of the issues in crypto right now is that too much is about ‘brand’ and not enough is about ‘trust.’ Think about some of the communities you’re a part of. Where are you active? Where do you lurk? What is the difference between the two for you? The focus on ‘brand’ also works together with a drive towards more widespread adoption of blockchain technologies. In music, this has brought us Open Editions. With the cost of a music NFT going down, the idea is that more people will collect. But w...
