The first "constantly #evolving #song" announced in the past year, giving concerts in Turkey announced the details of the #British group #HMLTD an ambitious project and have different elements to be issued as #NFT #auction.
With each series of the new track 'Leaving', which is endlessly recurring in cyberspace, fans will be able to fundamentally change the song and produce 6400 completely different, unheard of songs. In short, there will be 6400 different versions of a single song. On April 26, the band will release vocal, guitar, chord, bass, drum and FX layers. Then it's up to the new owners to make the song the way they want.
HMLTD is following the rising NFT trend, following names like $Kings Of Leon, #Grimes, #Gorillaz, #Lindsay Lohan and #Aphex Twin. However, the group goes far beyond using NFTs to add value to recordings or artwork by making them recollectible, actually using blockchain to create music. HMLTD drummer Achilleas Sarantaris told NME the following statements:
“The first thing most people think [with NFTs] is, let's make what we already have unique, let's put my thumbnail on the blockchain or my song on the blockchain. This didn't resonate with me because it sounds like a cash-grab, a little cheating. But I immediately thought it might be very good for music, to involve the audience in real creation and make a work of art rather than just consuming it. "
Commenting further on the project, Achilleas said, “If you buy one of the tiers, you are essentially controlling parts of the song at any given moment. Let's say I'm buying the drum layer. Then I can go to the gallery [where the main song is stored] and choose which drums I want to be there right now. Let's say I choose acoustic drums, and right after that fact will be reflected in the song and the artwork and at that point the person listening to the song will listen to the choice I made until I change my choice ”.
Guitarist Duc Peterman added the following on the subject of NFT:
“We wrote at least 300 or 400 songs for this song. We wrote it to go from a piano ballad to a dubstep remix, from a synth pop song to more of a Fleetwood Mac or an 80s post punk song. We wanted to make sure that each different iteration really resonated with what the song was. Probably the second biggest project we've ever done, after our album. Zhou Ig thin a job. "
The group claims that the song can be modified to make more than 6400 completely different songs in different styles. “There are potentially hundreds of versions of these songs we've never heard of ourselves,” said soloist Henry Spychalski. Many of the different iterations and versions that the song goes through in its lifetime will be things we've never heard of before. A dynamic piece of art that is constantly evolving that is never in a steady state. "What we do is take the basic principle of blockchain, which is decentralization, and apply it to artistic creation and writing itself."
