I’m uninstalling the app. My Artistic & Human context can be found on chain. I am not good, this world isn’t good & being forced to be exposed to thoughts, trauma, sh*t ideals ontop of what’s on my immediate very real daily plate makes me not want to live, it’s that serious. This app made an internet kid absolutely hate technology. I lost catalog & haven’t been able to document as artist without being exposed to metrics & manipulation since. We needed new tech to combat legacy systems. The Superchain failed, Jacob Failed, Kayvon Failed, Base Failed, The community failed being passive allowing this out of touch greedy founder circle jerk founder bubble to gas each other. Hyper privileged hellscape. We don’t have healthcare, we don’t have a single working system. Art’s always been a way to cope, but breaking distribution of human connection while force feeding unwanted exposure makes life not worth living. what happens next, will be not be documented. “5000” 🪦

It’s not my head. You’re on the wrong side of history @jacob @kayvon

This is too new to this f*ck it up. Trust people know what they want to see. Have faith in your “product”. Gives us a healthy meaningful experience. @jessepollak you wanna scale?

These txn bot fake traffic isn’t the way. The performative follow in hoping of collecting isn’t the way.

For an industry that was supposed to be advant-garde, punk, transparent, all about ownership, privacy as a reaction to legacy systems. It’s been an epic run documenting how far from that ethos it’s become and observe all the performative avoidance from artists scared to stand up for something bigger than themselves
The people building the new Internet seem to like the visual aesthetics of the free internet, but don’t operate like they were even around surfing it. It’s a mind f*ck how I had so much conviction since 2021 & in a single year every aspect of this gives me “as zoomers say” the ultimate ick. Feels unreal
Had to use the wayback machine to the point across. Context / experience matters. As an established independent artist since the 90’s, losing Chrono feeds in web2 was death blow. Web3 healed that wound of fractured discovery. Until the great pivot. DYOR is dead, followers are bots, feeds remove control replaced by hype metrics. I hear & see “don’t over think”. You dedicate a full lifetime to passion & not over think an industry hellbent on inserting Spotify mechanics into a Bandcamp / physical store concept. “Collecting”. @kayvon you never acknowledge anything. I lap you in experience x1000 in the world of creating, collecting, curating culture. Give us a a feed of just original uploads from people we follow. Or else this just a huge fake hype, out of touch, lfg hugbox that will never scale. Respectfully, someone who shows up consistently & wants this all to succeed.

Since 2017 I’ve been fighting the strongest urge to completely purge every trace of my 30 + year artist footprint for reasons I’ve since justified via context in excess after hope w/ blockchain sparked 180 preservation urgency.

I’m really simple to keep motivated. energy + time unacknowledged = lost purpose

please stay safe, if you have reach on other platforms, please use it. Losing realtime feeds is tragic in times where time sensitive info is critical & reach is RNG. small accounts get lost quickly, please keep that in mind if you have decent distribution please help others stay safe 🫂

These platforms, desperately trying to dress up in early/mid 2000s visual design aesthetic marketing as a nod to nostalgic seasoned web surfers should be publicly flogged for using IG as the model instead of MySpace.

When music player in profile that lets you upload songs?

Seeing my genesis artifact on @rodeodotclub minted 7.24.24 being the first & one of only things @riotgoools / @elle collected made me smile with happiness & immediately tear up in sadness thinking about how all my favorite artists, chose peace & left or have remained & haven’t known peace since spring of 24

Music meets tech fun facts:

Back in 2011, A lot of U.S. producers, DJ’s, music fans, A&R’s etc would chill on a website called turntable . Fm

thankfully one other person in web3 was there with me to witness this super talent incubator that was like a hidden big band theory of culture

@nataliecrue , myself, Joe Kay, Mr Carmack, Elaquent, Kronika, etc. Sango’s fate change playing this song for us in one of those sessions with Kronika I. There. Not many producers on this planet have such a unique & distinguishable sound that was the first of its kind then had ripple effects. More known would be Timbaland, Pharrell, Dj Premier, Jaydee, Pete Rock, lesser known but same effect: Samiyam, Flying Lotus, and Sango. A lot of amazing producers across the globe across so many era’s but amazing & dope isn’t the benchmark I’m referring to, but rather undeniable signature that’s since been replicated 1millionX since.

The more you know 🌈

Any Artist that was early, consistent & never stopped being active know what’s up. Add equally active collector & beta tester to zora + rodeo, If you remove financial / brand / builder bias. It’s impossible not to feel pee’d on everytime platforms boast numbers to symbolize “value”

Hope (at scale)

+ 81 Total Images Each edited Individually across a 3 day period the final week of 2024. + Audio created spring/summer 2024 was a live, real-time recorded unreleased Evolving Portal made while @_rnd1 & @thxk_u were over. Created effortlessly at the time. Another day bringing the vision to life, meticulously editing all images & audio to create the video.....The concept was to create something meaningful and invest a typical 40 hr work week of time into that work. I chose to use photo's of my reconstructive jaw surgery that happened September 25th 2024 to express emotions of gratitude as well as fear it might not be healing properly or as fast as I hoped it would. I'm eager to hit the ground running, writing and recording a new album, live streaming, filming videos, but the reality is my health isn't quite ready for that. I don't know how to be kind to myself anymore because there is so much pressure to constantly show up and pump out "content" If that wasn't already stressful, 2024 was a year that new found hope was stripped away, as the industry that gave artists a second wind and hope all pivoted to creating systems that demand more and have little hope of being valued.. it's too much. all we wanted was healthcare but instead we got terrorism on the value of art. I have so much love and light in my heart and it feels like it's being systematically stolen from me every time I log on to show up anywhere online. If this isn't relatable at all consider yourself blessed. the only thing I wish to see scale in 2025 is hope. <3 searching, searching, searching... + [Meta Label - Network Archives 001: "A Directory of Inspiration"](https://networkarchives.metalabel.com/directoryofinspiration?variantId=1) - While at the moment this doesn't exist onchain, this $6.99 limited edition run [100] is a near 200 page PDF curated, created by and featuring stories of some of the most important artists/collectors/builders experimenting with music using blockchain. + [CATALOG WORKS - 1/1 Music (Dutchyyy.eth)](https://legacy.catalog.works/dutchyyy) 120 songs composed / produced by: Dutchyyy (1995 - 2024) [ETH MAINNET] + [CATALOG WORKS - 1/1 Music (Dutchmassive.eth)](https://legacy.catalog.works/dutchmassive) 25 songs written, performed, recorded by: Dutchmassive (1995-2023) [ETH - MAINNET] + [FOUNDATION.APP - 1/1 photos / video / art (Dutchyyy.eth)](https://foundation.app/@dutchyyy) 59 1/1's used to world build & add visual / additional context around albums released by Dutchmassive (emcee) / Dutchyyy (producer) across his 3 decade music career [ETH - MAINNET] + [ZORA - Open Editions, Limited Editions, 1/1's (Dutchyyy.eth)](https://zora.co/@dutchyyy) Collections: ~ [Dutchyyy / Dutchmassive (The Starter Pack)](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xaecf7d807b137eae8c67d24c4e0e66c1e6319266) - 5 open editions [zora chain] ~ [Proof of life (continued...)](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x4cc5fbe2ea14d8fb62af7bdcff1ac0f8211daab4) - 47 open editions [zora chain] ~ [[ME + ME] V.1](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xf9c498b4ad4bc769978e39ac9d7be9272ba38917) - 4 open editions [zora chain] ~ [Zora Posts](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x51a4f167438deedabbfd6deeb8c50ca271d4d449) - 17 "posts? / Editions" created from Temu I.G. aka ZoraAPP [zora chain] ~ [Organic Discovery](https://zora.co/collect/base:0xbe96be7547a203ebff86c815a1feb27d47407cbd) - 32 open editions [base chain] ~ [Evolving Portals (Collection)](https://zora.co/collect/base:0xa9ccc602fd4fde28abf9e7a2d9cd2d8c84d5924c) - 6 Limited Editions [base chain] ~ [Evolving Portals: Surprise Canyon Jacuzzi](https://zora.co/collect/eth:0x19ae196d39a356e9d5018a5fd09d09f3725cb308) 1 Limited Edition [ETH - MAINNET] ~ [Previously on..[Proof of Artist]](https://zora.co/collect/base:0xa9ccc602fd4fde28abf9e7a2d9cd2d8c84d5924c) - 3 open editions [base chain] ~ [[ME + ME] V.2](https://zora.co/manage/1155/base:0x61e7bb3b186d2ab1dc9adf717b0af88cebf26929) - 1 open edition [base chain] - [SOUND.XYZ - Limited Edition Music (Dutchyyy.eth)](https://www.sound.xyz/dutchyyy/releases) 4 limited editions songs [ETH MAINNET] - [SUPERCOLLECTOR - Open Edition Music [songs,albums] (Dutchyyy.eth)](https://release.supercollector.xyz/artist/dutchyyy) 1 full length album, 1 ep, 1 song [Optimism Chain] - [Rarible - 1/1's (PeacePeaceGawd)](https://rarible.com/peacepeace/secondary) Genesis onchain creator travel log 2.25.21 [ETH MAINNET] This traveler feels so so lost in this digital world.

The Legendary "MUSIC NERD" (cxy)

Updated the description for my final mint as a creator on Zora after 2 years of uploading weekly without ever missing a week.

After the disposable nature of social media, It was inspiring to have a place again to share highly intentional work w/o focusing on attention economy. I know this won’t resonate with majority of the members in this channel but it felt important to share for those feeling lost right now. My documenting onchain will continue & hope yours does as well. You are not disposable. Eternal Gratitude to The Legendary MUSIC NERD @cxy for Walking the Talk giving hope in a world that can’t help continuously exploiting creative expression 🫂 #SearchingForASavePoint 💐💐💐

The Legendary "MUSIC NERD" (cxy)

💐 C.Y. Lee (cxy) / onchain muse. The Buff of Patronage. With Love, Respect, Gratitude & Eternal Admiration. Dutchyyy.xyz [Searching For A Save Point](https://manifold.gallery/base:0x06225007011395de259f73b5700cad13c3a40601) Please stop scrolling, take a moment to stop & smell the flowers and never lose sight of the power of giving those you appreciate their flowers. As the digital world morphed into hyperbolic attention economy & as someone who’s ancient & was always active enough to remember a digital world where it’s most charming & utilized quality was it’s ability connect us to the things & people we appreciate & make them feel seen, I was ultra sensitive & very observant of when, why and how that changed. By design, the algos created lots of the flies. Starved for attention we turned into the cliche plot of every post apocalyptic movie. Dog eat Dog, performative & calculated. The unsung heroes of this world, in my experience usually share a similar quality of not being comfortable with praise or attention. Lifting, inspiring & helping others in the shadows. Imagine if we kept tabs on a good deeds haha, A linked in for positives ripples. In a world where we live in a 72 he attention cycle & people are quick to forget humans worth & depth isn’t encapsulated by their latest status update, a world where mute, block exists & judgement is cast with haste. A good deeds resume sounds necessary but in practice that would look & feel as hollow as Mr. Beast. I likely lost 90% of those who expanded description miles back haha. But I’ve always been a fan of hidden interludes and rewarding patience. Some absolute truths: without @cxy of @musicnerdxyz 💐 7 years of freestyles would never been released publicly as a 5 album series titled “The Reluctant Clap” (Daily Rambles) 💐 I would have deleted my entire social media footprint ages ago (still fighting this urge daily for obvious reasons) 💐 I will write & record a new album as a vocalist (tho I still am conflicted about being trapped & boxed in the need for Branding. I.e. name/alias) 💐 I am still alive. Crazy to type and prob crazy to read. But you were weeks away from losing present and future (me). I can go on and on about what C.Y. has done for me personally, which changed my fate & secured future ripples I can create in this world, I am just one of many. If you care about me, music, art. Give 💐 to C.Y.

365 days ago, I created a new collection on Zora titled “Proof of Life” (Continued…) encouraged by @cxy I began this collection on Xmas 23, and Minted A video captured on Christmas in 22, shortly after my Nana passed.

C.Y. Encouraged myself & countless other artists to document w/o fear beyond the music/art. From that moment, every pivotal moment was documented on chain.

When these platforms prove they have no conviction in art/artists/music. It’s not just the artists who take note. Thankfully C.Y. sees and believes in a future that us artists struggle with in a world we are historically exploited & devalued. My Zora journey began giving flowers to one person who walks the talk & it’s only right my exit from the platform be extended flowers for the lighthouse giving us hope.

Unwrapping Artifacts (Still Wonderful)

Majority of my holidays have been spent alone, away from family/friends. So at least for the past decade, my best friend I've known since the mid eighties is usually the only one who sends me gifts. 🎁 He is very intentional, thoughtful and puts a lot of carefully tailored curated love behind this process. He also knows me better than anyone else, so i'm always blown away by the relics he sends me each year, like he is trying to level up and outdo himself each year that passes. Me usually being alone during the holidays, while also being a lifelong collector of tangible artifacts. I can't properly articulate the level of gratitude and appreciation I have for this ritual he's created and has continued for so long. An assortment of refined intel into my love of music, video games and nerd culture in general. 👵 In July of 2020, I was asked to move in with my 90+ year old grandmother who wasn't adjusting well to living alone during the Pandemic after losing both her daughter on 8.19.16 (My Mom) & her husband on 8.1.19 (My Grandpa) since they all lived in this apartment together for over a decade. ⬇ She was always the saddest during the holidays and refused to celebrate them after I moved in. Which I wasn't expecting, but didn't phase me since I was already used to not treating holidays like every other day. ⬇ If you're familiar with me, my artistic career and what was ultimately the catalyst to hard pivoting to documenting my legacy via blockchain, you likely know my own personal health has been rapidly declining, which seemed to expedite shortly after moving into this 10x12 room in this tiny apartment. Why is this important context? because as someone who has spent 3 decades documenting and collecting creative expression through art and music naturally and consistently, there's no better catalyst than the fear of realistically sooner than most would expect approaching mortality during a turbulently evolving / ever changing technological time & the fear of your life's work and legacy being erased after you're gone to greatly enhance that already inherit love and desire to document moments, memory, music, proof of life. ⬇ So with both of our health being really bad, we would often joke about who would pass away first, 90+ year old Nana or 40+ year old Dutch... Light hearted humor in the face of very difficult times is tried and true effective coping mechanism =) ⬇ Last December (2022) my grandmother was very low on hope, cheer, happiness and my patience for respecting her desire to pretend the holidays don't exist was greatly over powered by my desire to make sure she and I didn't leave this earth without creating at least one last "happy holidays" memory. So, I grabbed all mothers xmas decorations from my storage, set everything up while she was out and made sure I saved a few presents my best friend sent me early December to open on xmas morning, while she sat and watched me in hopes it would lift her spirits. (Foreshadowing Reference in the video context: My best friend always sends me unique snacks, hard to find ramen, spices along with these packages. I did not have the patience to hold off until xmas to open those and eat them. I did get myself sick because of this (my body doesn't react normally or well to food these days) so when I opened the card labeled [🚫NFT] It was like he saw into the future haha, Like I said, my dear friend Eric knows me too well. ⬇ Filming this process was not something I would usually do, I only did so to send the video to my friend since he never gets to see how excited I am opening his gifts. This isn't something I would usually document on chain, being so niche & personal, but my efforts were not in vain, since that experience seemed to really life my Nana's spirits up and brought us a lot closer. My instinct to document that moment in time for the reason I did was sadly also on point because  that was the last time my grandmother would have a chance to celebrate the holidays.. 🤶 💔 She passed away recently, on November 3rd, 2023. [94 years old] ⬇ I was very reluctant and hesitant as a 40+ year old man, who's passion and favorite pastime is creating music, exploring nature and sharing memories with friends to self isolate myself to a tiny apartment in a city I keep trying to leave behind me for many reasons, and while it's true this choice came with a lot of serious downsides that added to my health declining worse. Through these past few years, I was able to break through my grandma's very thick emotional walls and connect and bond. She never understood or respected why after 3 decades of releasing music and it not providing the monetary value for the time I dedicated to it. That always stung, if I'm being honest but after living with her and her getting the chance to see first hand how much time, effort, hard work and love into creative expression and then seeing letters, emails, messages from the people that creative expression has deeply impacted. She was super proud of me, was amazed and interested in seeing how I edit and sequence visuals w/ music the most. She, along with most of my friends, have zero understanding of blockchain technology, but thanks to the amazing humans I've met through collecting my work. They absolutely appreciated and cheered me on seeing it having a tangible impact on improving my quality of life during a time when I was isolated in this 10x12 room I am writing this backstory from. ⬇ I will forever be grateful for the positive and impactful moments I got to share with my grandmother in her last days and I'm eternally grateful to everyone who helped play a part in showing her that time spent on documenting creative expression is valuable and the farthest thing on earth from a waste of time. ⬇ Heavy Backstory I know, but intentional transparent world building is something this carefully curated and crafted virtual landscape we all are collectively immersed in feels important. It may feel heavy at times but this life we are blessed with is "Still Wonderful" ⬇ Happy Holidays... Sincerely, Dutch - 12.25.2023
