Remixing is the backbone of music culture.
Samples, beats and loops combine to create songs that change our lives and the lives of millions of listeners around the world.
But what if you could be a part of that conversation?
What if you could remix your favorite song without any music background or technical experience?
This is why we built Spores - your key to remix your favorite song in the palm of your hand.
We’ve been building for the past year, and we’re excited to share it with the world starting with Sporeᵒⁿᵉ.
The Sporeᵒⁿᵉ is now available worldwide on www.spores.vision
It’s a 30 day open edition - priced at 0.01 ETH to the public, and 0.008 ETH to the web3 music community.
Here’s what to know.
What are Spores?
A Spore is an immersive audio player and remix software.
Think of it as an iPod, Gameboy and Ableton all in one.

In a world where remixing is quickly becoming a core driver for TikTok and Instagram, Spores is the tool that makes it easy and convenient to create derivative content with no prior experience.
We see Spores as core infrastructure for the next generation of remixes and believe it all starts with music produced by our community.
It’s like tapping the intuitive musical nature that lies dormant inside every one of us.
Sporeᵒⁿᵉ is your key to this new world.

Visit spores.vision/mint to access Sporeᵒⁿᵉ.
Think of your Sporeᵒⁿᵉ as your iPod.
While anyone can buy an iPod, only your iPod contains your songs.
Sporeᵒⁿᵉ gives you access to the beta and represents your onchain songs and remixes.
Spores Beta
Spores is an ever-evolving ecosystem.
We want to learn and grow with the community in real-time, so we’re releasing a first wave of features and tools as a part of the Spores Beta.
With the Spores One, you can:
Modify - Key and BPM
Transform - Effects and Filters.
Clip - Remixes on-chain.
Clips are currently saved on testnet as we explore the edges of what’s possible.
In the future - you’ll be able to mint (and monetize) your remixes on mainnet.
The Beta is jam-packed with tracks from leading artists including:
GrimesAI - 2nd Wind + Heaven
Reo Cragun - Spent
Daniel Allan - Bricks (with Belis)
bloody white - RUN
LATASHÁ - Platter
Angelbaby - The Otherside (with Gino the Ghost)
Lyrah - In the Leaves
Beachcrimes
LNRZ - SATELLITES
NOISE - Matthew Chaim (feat. Jamee Cornelia) - Flavors

We’re proud to be partnering with Kits, LNRZ, NOISE, Heds and ASTRO to bring hand-curated music from their communities.
As time evolves, we envision a world where you can drag and drop any song into Spores - including your Music NFTs.
If you think of Spores like a Gameboy, you can think of your songs as the games.
Timeline
Sporeᵒⁿᵉ will run for 30 days.
These are the first generation of Spores ever being released to the world.
The mint price for Sporeᵒⁿᵉ is 0.01 ETH.
We’re partnering with the following communities to offer a discounted price of 0.008 ETH:

In the same way the iPhone releases a new product once every year, we anticipate a similar trajectory for Spores.
Each Season, a new Spore will be released to the world, equipped with new capabilities, skins and features.
The intention of Sporeᵒⁿᵉ is to get the world using Spores, and to get as much feedback as possible to make the next generation as valuable as possible.
Closing Thoughts
Spores are being built with the community, for the community
The entire project has been bootstrapped by the founding team with grants from Zora and NoiseDAO to get us to this launch.
We’re excited to bring in a new generation of producers and unlock an entirely new class of music creators.
