These people sacrifice their entire lives to maintaining the qualia and integrity.</p><p>Observing and researching subculture and underground Culture is so much pain.</p><p>It is immaculate and painful, what such Artists have dedicated and sacrificed their lives for, often not receiving recognition or “success” in Society. Or even worse, navigating dangerous sacrifices for the pain and wondrous fulfillment of Artistic veneration. Digging deep into the well brings me darkness and pain and the joy of discovering or remembering some of the strongest Art or creative skills in the World.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6e8a696e819cb38625c9e0af25e186cdd3bf1ccc5b96bd55a9fa4c3fb4f2fb9a.webp" alt="SEVER." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">SEVER.</figcaption></figure><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ae15cdd440efa090fc30857354202286ba0e828774ec65e27e12f348bc536d4a.jpg" alt="RETNA" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">RETNA</figcaption></figure><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3b9fe46d3147386d2ed794f2a9162c7b3bdb1d56afbab31e753f41081465cfc2.png" alt="RIME." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">RIME.</figcaption></figure><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/97e2a862dc219fa82c7d33e7372f7e32a385d6a173765c64e8a88b692c4ff9d4.png" alt="REVOK." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">REVOK.</figcaption></figure><p>It&apos;s really interesting. The pain in which is traded off for the energy and moment which brings forth Apotheosis of Art. the highest moment. Of creative magic, hidden deep in the fucking city, which can only be under the guise of danger. Real danger. or in some strange, unknown place. of magic, of the Edge of Culture, of things which are so raw we cannot bring them into the larger retail World. This is where creation begins and we are lost in the magic, and only this rawness can create the somnambulist which brings forth New Style.</p><p>I have decided to dedicate a percentage of my time to help supporting the Arts and bringing such subcultures into the light with proper presentation and quality. I feel it is a waste to let a lot of this data dissolve into Nothing. From my observation I find that most Artists who are the most creative and visceral are often weak at bringing the cultural data to the larger retail sphere, as they are focusing on other things. It is important that information is given out to help complete the presentation of a product or creative substrate.</p><p>I especially find that the data of Art which is hidden in these underground vessels are the most visceral and raw, eclectic, interesting, and thus the most potent and useful to society and the larger market. They hit a dynamic and feeling that is so emotionally abstracted and deep; we can’t understand its heuristic.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/cbab198c55b83f4f4acaf3a8824e02a68f596bc3cc0c0b2c8e579a755a1992c7.jpg" alt="roller bomb. msk." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">roller bomb. msk.</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>

We will be releasing an underground DJ mix accompanied by a visual NFT.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3a7c93e4abc0dcb542a18cd275e58f7dfc1b60a07bc4875fe1de5e9190b16b19.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Data:</p><p>I am working on a mix. A DJ mix. This time it is a dnb mix. DNB stands for “drum and bass.” Fastest way I can describe it, is that it is the punk or hardcore of dance music, and it has more drums in it than Techno. We also call it “Jungle.” Have been specializing in this genre, but not limited to, for quite sometime. I move around a lot in music, looking for the most advanced structure and work. Drums and rhythmic advancement often impress me because I am a drummer; I have an appreciation for the abstract patterning. I also find it one of the more difficult and less celebrated areas of the skillset.</p><p>This genre really pisses me off, because, often it’s very noisy and hypermasculine. I wanted to get in there and make the music and Style feel more eclectic and exotic and less like a corny mosh pit. When I first entered the Culture decades ago that’s what I targeted. I made sure to make the material feel more articulate, and deep, allowing emotions to develop further where possible, and to remove a boxy feel and control the abrasion.</p><p>[And this is what we are presenting today. A refinement of the Culture.]</p><p>It is important to note that dnb’s strength is noise. It is cacophony. When paired with the right elements it becomes a hundred times more realized, complete. It expands in spectrum. This is the main thing that many Art and music, Culture, researchers miss. There are many <em>pieces</em> of music and genres that are really useful, but not being presented or utilized to maximum light. With Cult02 x MUZK and everything we do, we plan to restore this. To magnify the best parts of things, <em>especially</em> hardcore things, which may be hidden in the depths of shit internet with mind-fucked content. That’s the True plan. Consider it eclecticism. [its a way of improving data, but more on that later.]</p><p>The mix will be connected to an NFT. We will release a tokengated download link or someway to access it for holders.</p><p>An example of a recent live dnb mix. CALIBRE. This set is a mostly style called ‘liquid,’ which is very mellow [for dnb].</p><div data-type="youtube" videoId="LuB29bL2kyI">

      </div></div><p>The mix took an extra week, because of technical complication, also because it’s been a while since I had been mixing. I have been an underground DJ for quite some time, decades, but have been focusing more on visual Art in the last years, especially the last 3, which have been my foray into NFTs and working with the movement. The technical challenges we overcame will allow the mixes to go out faster in the near future. It’s a mix of white label underground vocal remixes and 3-deck mixing tricks that I am trying to maximally condense to get a better listen since it is a recording.</p><p>We will be releasing more of these in the future, of different genres. It is a testament to quality and the rapture that brought us all here in the first place.</p><p>At some point I realized that there is a fundamental component of high-quality and well thought out work present beyond any Art movement. Adhering to these foundational components allows us to integrate newer things and crazier information which haven’t been done.</p><p>Thank you for being part of our movement. We are the the aggregator, the integrator, the bridge between Cultures. Between Worlds which would never explore each other: to connect esoteric genres and objects of creative data to the mainstream. Hole-in-the-wall restaurants and what-have-you, creatively, data that will improve quality of life by deepening our connection to each other, via Culture.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/342f2da93c60294eb92e09693a89370dfeb740c9196df1c8624c0ef12851ac32.jpg" alt="&quot;Forever&quot; physical print." blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">&quot;Forever&quot; physical print.</figcaption></figure><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/06cdbe7dfd29e8f53f00c1105e415f091216d4954090178ad1e8620588cb425b.jpg" alt="&quot;New Information&quot; -MUZK" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">&quot;New Information&quot; -MUZK</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More applicable to modernity, though perhaps universally true in some aspects, the development of Art can also be described as a meme. Now, with the current movement of art decentralization we can see that a larger area-of-effect is being deployed via higher numbers of artists worldwide. NFTs. This will only continue to increase until maxima is reached. At present, the outpour of artwork online [globally] shows us that the previous mechanisms for art did not provide enough channels for the world average of output. We are seeing a much better model for distribution of work.</p><p>This tells us that the amount we are programmed by Web 2.0 to boost or hype a rockstar or influencer is much too high. If we lower that level it will allow our cyberbrain access to wider distribution of experiential data, and find much more Art, Culture, music, Design, film, etc. If we understand that the human cyberbrain has only so much time within a day, then we can see that much of the focus of Art becomes what is most often repetitively marketed. Seeing the transition from the legacy system to the new allows us to redesign the base layers of Cultural programming software such that we can expand the dataset to include more artworks.</p><p>If you look at the habit of our current system programming we can see that the “top 40” entities section in every music platform is Designed to focus the attention into a top 5% model. This port from the 2.0 system to the new infra exploded the user activity in art, and it will only continue to grow; we have only focused on early peaks of visual arts design and digital work, there are formats such as film, literature, hybrid, VR, and analog, XR to be built out. Not to mention the user base has to reach maxima. Which it will, then mute.</p><p>The Artists and artwork which are exploding the fuck now are a mix of new composers, ones who have survived or navigated the broken, distorted, individualized selfishness crystallized of the legacy system, and ones who have opted out of all systems and merely create naturally, or within the underground network, deconstructing the system as rebels to suit their Culture.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2af30650a912ead95f27be197fef839fa09a931795e8cb826fd3b26c49cf797b.png" alt="Dead Ringers by Dmitri Cherniak" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Dead Ringers by Dmitri Cherniak</figcaption></figure><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://assets.foundation.app/R9/u8/QmdFcvaRkCniCfpLt8EoBmaCiYuANuewvvZcJvMWLDR9u8/nft_q4.mp4">https://assets.foundation.app/R9/u8/QmdFcvaRkCniCfpLt8EoBmaCiYuANuewvvZcJvMWLDR9u8/nft_q4.mp4</a></p><p><em>Lonely Neighborhood SpiderPepe by Alpha Centauri Kid</em></p><p>The idea that we can edit the base layer or the distribution or model of the system itself, to a high degree, the idea of a fork, etc. The editing of the system. To advance and progress and suit the needs of a wider range of data and parameter values. Users. We are now realizing that much of the change is bringing more access.</p><p>This access to Art and culture, music, Film, Fashion, etc. will increase the awareness and use of art all over the World. There are many benefits to this, mostly of ideas, and many shall sum it up to be increase in user health, but it’s <em>much</em> more intricate than that. The benefits of having a place that’s provisioned eclectically and dope, with artworks and Design, etc., or just in an interesting way, to a level that which artists, as their profession includes, can connect you with is unexplainable. Vibe. Trust.</p><p>Increasing the quality of our world. The films, the access to food culture. Language. More eclectic art, wider reach or understanding, appreciation and connection, better Style. This type of data can inspire other data as well. Increasing user inspiration, Design ideas, architecture, other art, fashion, 3D printing, genetics, holography, economic creativity. Creativity allows a limber abstraction to the processes of the mind, adding optionality.</p><p>At the heart of it, are we not philosophically trying to make this World as dope as fucking fuck. To reach apotheosis.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/abbf23667c275935853b9c1d5c1cbde8b3a98f427bfa6dc9b45dcd3edefc378b.png" alt="Untitled series by MUZK" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Untitled series by MUZK</figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
