I’d like to play a game that I haven’t seen played in the Music NFT space.
An artist (in this case, me) decides to mint a song with 5 editions
Instead of 'bidding’ or ‘buying,’ prospective collectors offer to trade for it via Twitter DM
If I like the trade offer, I’ll accept and the collector gets a new piece in exchange for one already in their collection via SudoSwap
Both parties get to tell a story about something new they tried and if something insane happens it becomes a broader talking point.
Who knows, maybe somebody trades me a Punk!
For now, I’m going to start small and do a small number of editions dropped. But after a convo with C.Y. Lee (who’s graciously agreed to be the first collector to trade with me), I think it’d be fun to expand on this idea and do a group trading session among a network of collectors.
Let’s see how this goes!
Link to listen/mint the song on Zora.
I started the idea with my co-producer/best friend Ben Pleasant on our first ever music trip to ATL.
We were staying in the cheapest and smallest spot I could find on a day’s notice - a bedroom with a sink in it and a tiny bathroom attached.
We were so excited to be living out a dream of ours that we set up my laptop and interface on the bed and started recording.
The next day we went to a friend’s video shoot, had another session, and drove back to Nashville in time to make it for rehearsal.
A couple of weeks later I re-approached the idea and recorded the song reflecting on my passion for pursuing my dreams.
It’s a sentimental timepiece for me and I hope you enjoy it.
