## Content

Open editions are coming to Sound. In a recent push for open editions in the wider NFT market - we’re about to experience a new playbook for Music NFTs. The pitch is simple - mint as many NFTs as you want during a fixed time interval. Want to prove that you were there first but not need to worry about missing the drop in the first second? Well this is your chance. While I don’t think open editions are the end all by all for collecting content - it’s a step in the right direction. And with some of the sectors biggest artists piloting the release, it should make for an exciting week to be a collector. Meanwhile - the LNRZ team took a trip to Joshua Tree this weekend for their first writing camps. Reo Cragun @ReoCragun I’ve been hard at work building the next phase of @lnrzdao with the team. Next week we’re heading out to the desert where we’re creating v1 of artist curated projects w/ talent we admire. SZN 2 is among us and should make for an exciting Jan. Let’s turn things up a notch. 92 7:12 PM • Jan 9, 2023 With appearances from Reo Cragun, DLG, Clear Eyes, Daniel Allan, Bloody White, Iman Europe, Heno, Lackhoney, Vaarwell, Mark Johns, Madalen Duke, Kaelin Ellis and Tate Tucker - more than 20 songs were made over the course of a week.
