- Made this with samples from @soundoffractures.lens new sample pack 'Building Blocks' via kits.io. I really liked the Open Doors Pluck sample, so I decided to build the idea around that. Hope you enjoy!
- I wanted to try something new.
This will be my first music release here on lens.
It's an early demo of my song "This Song" which came out in 2017. I probably wrote this on the road around 2015/2016. It has a lot of the final ideas, but totally different type of beat. This is what I showed Rostam, and we built from there.
It's unfinished and unpolished but it's kinda fun to look back at where ideas originated.

- Green Ring - Through The Portal (Official Visualizer)
This is a 1/1 NFT priced at 500 MATIC with a 50% referral fee. I know higher priced 1/1's has not been the vibe on Lens so far, but here is my thinking:
Why a 1/1?
This song already has an edition drop. It debuted on Sound with a collection of 50. I want to respect the value of those NFTs by not introducing more editions of the song. This visualizer is meant to compliment the original collection and offer someone a different experience: holding a totally unique piece of Green Ring art. I think 1/1's (and their inherent higher price point) will become more common on Lens over time as more creators join and experiment with how to value their work. This is where I want to position this visualizer.
Through The Portal on Sound: https://www.sound.xyz/greenring/through-the-portal
Why Lens?
I really believe in what is being built in the Lens ecosystem. I want my work to live here. I think putting this video on Lens is the web3 equivalent of posting it on YouTube, but here we get to capture its value directly.
Why a 50% Referral Fee?
It's really exciting to me that curation can be directly valued in web3. I think offering the potential to receive 250 MATIC just for sharing is compelling and could help showcase the upside that exists here. And of course, I hope it drives more mirrors to spread my work to more people.
On the work itself:
This song (originally dropped in December) marked an important year of discovery for me. 2022 was the year I found web3. Learning what it means for music and art was a total game changer. It feels like I've stepped through a portal to a whole new world of possibility here. I created this visualizer in TouchDesigner as part of trying to push myself creatively. Working with visuals like this is relatively new to me, but I'm enjoying the process. The idea was to represent that feeling of stepping through a portal. I'm really happy with how it came out.
I love the web3 ethos of free to consume, valuable to own. Whether or not you think I'm crazy for doing a 500 MATIC 1/1, I hope you enjoy!
- Just discovered DTV from @dumpling.lens (www.dumpling.lol) through @levychain.lens interview with @christina.lens. Extremely cool new experiment in curation... a 24 hour tv network (with multiple channels) fed by content that the dumpling lens account mirrors. If you collect a post there that has mirror fees enabled by the creator, dumpling is rewarded for their curation. Web3 social is cool.
- let's do a perpetual Q&A.
got any pressing questions? recording? nfts? ai? modular synths?
- hello lens 💜
i’m so thrilled to be here.
i've been involved in this ecosystem since 2017 and despite the ups and downs i'm still so excited and enthusiastic about how this technology can empower artists to break away from the music industrial complex. more importantly, allow creators to connect with audiences in a more meaningful way. it's the best time ever to be an independent artist.
although my main gig has always been music, i've always been a visually oriented person. in fact, in 2002 i almost went to design school instead of music. i often wonder how things would have turned out. i've been lucky enough to work with amazing visual artists over the years to craft album artwork and a cohesive vision, but lately i've been dabbling with creating my own.
which brings me to this image, an abstract architectural space, somewhat liminal but i find it weirdly comforting. it's a free collectible for following me on this journey.
i'll be posting music, art, video and combinations of all three.
a million thanks to the lens team for helping me get the coveted 3 letter handle.

- This song is about a musical tale across the Eastern Hemisphere. We want to take you on a meditative journey to distant lands of the ancient future, using audio, organic instruments & a few vocal samples, like the 'Om' that you’ll hear throughout 🔊
This song was recorded in our home studio in Miami, FL & it came together rather quickly, due to a flow state experience. Later on, we added a guitar riff that Karma recorded live. We hope you love it as much as we do!

All collectors of my and Green Ring's Sound drops can listen to the song now. The original version of Half Life was about a really sad time in my life when I felt pretty hopeless about music. Web3 helped to change that, and it's been so amazing to see all the blessings this song has brought. Music can be so transformative in that way.
I've been a fan of @greenring.lens's music since I first heard it and so excited to be releasing this song together. All collectors get access to my token-gated chat The Rose Garden and the Golden Egg winner gets a video call with Green Ring and I.

Rosalie and I connected through cornerclub while working on 'Dance Music for Introverts Vol. 1'. We found that in addition to our interest in web3, our musical tastes aligned as well.
‘Half Life’ has such a cool story and meaning in Rosalie's journey, so I was honored when she asked me to put together a remix. I just tried to bring the song into my own world by adding some new sounds and letting the idea flow freely. Really happy with how it turned out.
The Golden Egg winner can hop on a video call with Rosalie and myself, we look forward to connecting with you!
Huge thank you to Rosalie for trusting me with this remix. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening 💚

- WEB3 pirate Radio: No One Knows Me Like You - The Collaborative Remix Drop
The collaborative remix drop came from me watching musicians I loved building their own worlds around me and I started to think about how to join these together.. how do we move towards a scene or movement. In IRL night clubs are the place where musicians come together and so do music lovers … so what is the on chain version?
This is the 3rd drop built from the song No One Know Me Like You - at a time where we are being encouraged from all sides to keeping throwing out music, and I love the freedom to do that, but I wanted to slow things down.
Ft @iamkabuki @AmbieNft @brijplease @greenringmusic
This is art that is a piece of our lives, and identity that we pour our hearts into. And sometimes a song deserves more time .. so I wanted to experiment with the life of a song on chain.
- Last night we released 4 remixes by 4 of the most talented producers in web3! i wanted to bring together 4 creatives who have been building community in unique ways in unique timezones to encourage us all to be building as a scene. Listen to all the music hear and learn about them all @greenring.lens @iamkabuki.lens Three Oscillators and AmbieNFT
