My first full live show recording is LIVE !
Combining archive audio and footage from the BBC archives using the new WAIVE plugins I created a one off version of my live set and visuals.

Big up @bonfire for creating a home for some of my most important moments. It was slick, simple and perfect for world building in a space that never favoured that.
Just looking back at doing unique editions at 0.01 and selling 67 on @zora selling out songs on @sound-xyz and raising 3.5E using SOF token to fund SCENES.
It allowed me to create a world where I would take all the best parts of what I did and bring it together.
Thanks to everyone that collected and everyone that supported in this period and all the Real Friends x
Specials shouts to @malston for all the support along the way x

I’ve never felt more grateful that I focussed on emotional connection when being pushed to chase virality and speculation. So many tried to push SCENES in a different direction to chase trends, and we chose to stay true, and I was able to due to the support of all the SOF token holders and the executive producers @cxy @iamnick.eth @maarten
I owe crypto a huge thank you for believing in art even if over all it was short lived outside of the real ones still showing up for the right reasons.
It’s interesting to me that when crypto audiences lost interest ( but were the ones that helped make this happen) ,is the time that people outside that bubble are discovering it and becoming the ones interested in it. The buck has been passed back into the real world, it just takes a little longer than you expect when you focus on long term connections.
Over all we believed in what mattered and it’s finding the right people. The record of that will be here forever onchain

The last couple of weeks have reminded me that:
Most people don’t see your posts, even when they care.
Real connections often come from the “unsuccessful” content.
We’re all navigating broken systems, but the people do exist.
It’s the moments we almost fail that make the wins feel real.

Still love looking at my album gallery
To be able to pair the collaborative art fans created along side the music that inspired it .. is surprisingly still unique to creating onchain

I made a physical post card book out of 66 of the personal memories submitted by fans to SCENES they were converted into custom artworks and then minted on zora.
Now they are going out into the world as prompts to reflect
Music > collaborations > collecting > reflecting

MY NEW BOOK “SCENES: Prompts to Reflect” is a collection of 66 postcards designed to offer you a moment to pause and reflect. It’s available now!
A year ago I started the SCENES project that was crowdfunded onchain - it was a way to explore the relationship between memories and music by inviting people to share what mattered to them.
It began with a question: what is the emotional value of music?
The answer lies in its ability to attach itself to memories and sound track our lives, and with over 300 contributors from around the world we created a gallery of personal moments all turned into unique artworks all minted on @base as an archive
From that, this book was born.
Prompts to Reflect is a collection of moments, questions, and reflections — printed as a postcard book you can keep, share, or gift. Each page is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember. To start a conversation with yourself or someone you love.

It was really cool to see a question I asked get unpacked in this episode. If you are a creator this whole series is really great. It’s straight to the point and honest and packed full of inspiration

A great little interview I wanted to share with some of the core artists and the team behind A Directory of Inspiration: a collection of case studies of music world building projects most of which used the blockchain as a creative tool to embed their identity in their output. Some great insights in here into collective releasing and the Directory its self features a selection the best music projects onchain ever, so many inspiring ideas in here and all in the artists voices.
This drop will be onchain soon, but for now you can collect on Metalabel, or grab the free second edition

SCENES is an experiment in what music can be beyond streams—artist-owned, participatory, and built on real connection. 🎶
350+ memories, 6 songs, and a community redefining how we experience music.

Writing notes with my daughter to everyone who buys a SCENES book.. it’s been really fun to bring her into my creative / work life and do stuff together.
Her mind is blown by the idea we are sending them off round the world!😊

My feeling this morning is that there has never been a better time to build our own worlds, our own corners and curate our spaces and set the tone and ethos of the places we spend our time. In the end it always comes down to time. What do you spend it doing? What do you get from it? I am asking myself this a lot, especially when it comes to being online, and my feeling is today that I want to spend it in a health productive and supportive place.
