- **Music recommendation of the week**
One of the most talented, elusive and prolific underground Finnish electronic music artists is Aleksi Perälä. He used to release on Rephlex records, then got into a new cosmic tuning system called Colundi Sequence, "discovered" by Rephlex Records founder Grant Wilson-Claridge. The last couple of years Aleksi has been releasing an album a month on Spotify. Aleksi has no social media presence at all.
""Grant has arrived at the frequencies, he's done the Colundi Sequence," Perälä says. "128 frequencies. And I don't even know exactly how he's arrived at them, it's irrelevant to me. They were given to him, let's put it that way. But they are not forgetting the history of man and the history of different experiments. You can't deny that certain frequencies just feel better than others. They make you feel good or do good things to you. They help you grow or whatever. Or help you feel the love. They just work and I'm happy with that."
It sounds a bit like a cult but with only 2 members - but hey the results seems to be working 😀 https://ra.co/features/2567
The releases are hard to describe, based on the new tuning system, unlike anything else I've heard - think Steve Reich, microtonal music, Aphex Twin, Endel app - hypnotic live electronic jams, deep sub bass (he uses the SubPac wearable subwoofer), using a lot of Asian percussion and custom tuned electronic sounds - this one is perhaps the best one yet

- What makes Lens truly amazing is the community. I've met so many builders, creators, users, and supporters during the Lens journey, and one common DNA is that everyone wants to see onchain social adoption and are supporting each other with guidance, discussions and collects. Truly blessed for what we have.

- Long post - thinking about life/artificial life... IMHO most of the current AI fear debate is not grounded in reality, but when Hinton speaks, I listen.
Check out this great interview filmed recently (post retirement from Google) at his North London home
https://youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY?t=2160
In terms of his concerns, the tl;dr is:
* Backprop is a more efficient learning algo than whatever the human/animal brain is using - this puts digital intelligence ahead of biological intelligence. Not sure I agree, but it's the cornerstone of modern ML, and the best learning method to date that we are able to implement digitally. Interesting historical fact, backprop was invented by a relatively unknown Finnish mathematician, Seppo Linnainmaa, in 1970 in his master's thesis - ignored and laid dormant until it was independently rediscovered again by Hinton 16 years later. Finnish tech OGs strike again 😀
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppo_Linnainmaa
https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/linnainmaa1970thesis.pdf
* Digital intelligence (ie. the weights of a neural net) can be replicated instantly across thousands or millions of copies - something biological life doesn't have. Replicating information/behaviour/DNA in nature has many constraints - resources/energy, time, physical distance, competition. Most current digital intelligence agents do not have any built-in drive towards self-replication, but feels like we are not many engineering steps away from that

- **The Rise Of UGC 2.0: User Generated Collects**
Everyone has seen the power of User-Generated Content 'UGC' in the age of social media. Here's why UGC 2.0 or 'User-Generated Collects' will be the next evolution of this format unlocked by the blockchain.
I have been posting snippets here on Lenster the last few weeks about these themes as I framed out my article.
Here is the final piece: **https://mirror.xyz/chrissyb.eth/r0SyE9QdvQribykjXvdMqYElGQT8ZFnthV_rUlyNqNk**
#LMCC
Inspired by the following people: @ladidaix, @ryanfox, @bellosights (@levychain), @stani and @azeem.
**Cliff notes:**
In today's one-directional social media interactions, "likes'' are abundant & meaningless when it comes to generating authentic connections or content discovery. Instead of simply liking something, we would rather participate.
UGC 2.0 is not just a new format, it will revolutionize social media by unlocking far-reaching effects on content consumption than its predecessor. Collectable social content will enrich our experiences and create new forms of digital engagement between creators and users alike.
By giving creators and users ownership & control of their content without the impediments of gatekeepers they can leverage it into new opportunities across fandom, community connectivity, curation, data and monetization.
Creators aren’t defined by one platform or medium anymore. The creators, curators and communities of tomorrow will be empowered by data transparency aggregated across the entire social ecosystem without the gatekeepers and centralized databases of today. A more sustainable environment for the long tail and micro-creator to flourish as a result. Indexing less on numbers such as reach and likes, instead providing the tools to focus on quality and depth of relationship and content.
It will also mark the future of brand creation. Changing how brands interact with consumers as active participants in their own social consumption.
This is what @lensprotocol strives for. I hope this piece helps scratch the surface and inspires creators, users and builders to explore the possibilities.

- Audio test post. An unreleased live dnb jam for last year - quick thing, no mixing/mastering
- testing more Spotify embeds https://open.spotify.com/track/0TfU7ZJvhHoYVjFy9u0euI?si=3aacc3457c3a4787
- The last couple of weeks I've started to make a bunch of design contributions for new features and improvements for Lenster. It's been a blast to work with @yoginth.lens and @sasicodes.lens on starting to implement these!
Here's a sneak peek of the MVP for audio posts - there is a more complete rehaul of the post composer coming with more control over tags, metadata etc - but we wanted to get something out soon.
Audio posting will give musicians, podcasters and other creators the ability to create native Lens audio post (wav, mp3 etc.) - a feature that's been frequently requested, and one that is close to my heart.
You can see the whole flow here - https://github.com/lensterxyz/lenster/issues/846

- I’ve played on three @letsraave.lens editions. They were all special. The one in Helsinki because it was the first one, where I met @stani.lens, @Paris.lens, @christina.lens, Veronika Fleyta and GALLiVANTER, and because it kind of happened at the same time I was lightly studying about web3; the one in Paris because I had the pleasure to play b2b with the almighty Veronika Fleyta and meet laser faced Ronnie; the one in Amsterdam because it inspired me to do this simultaneously dirty and funny tune with lyrics dedicated to rAAVE and Lens.
Feel free to collect.
- wavMOMENTs - KarmaVioletta - “Unity” - 24 Hr Open Edition
Personal Statement from @KarmaVioletta.lens:
This single that we ever released under our duo project, KarmaVioletta, in June 2020. It was inspired by the current state of the WRLD at the time, which was right after the COVID pandemic hit, the world was locked down & the BLM protests were happening. Our aim was to convey hope, oneness & joy in a time of fear & uncertainty.
We also partnered with Feeding America & donated 5 meals for every song purchase & 50 meals for every item of merch we sold. We ended up donating 600 meals in total to Feeding America! We decided to release “Unity” on Lens to celebrate our recent engagement (on Aug 30th) & our upcoming union. Let’s spread love, peace & unity — We are all in this human experience together!!
About the Artist:
We're a traveling music duo & couple, involved in the Web3, creator & wellness spaces. We believe in a world where a kid can tell their parents, "I want to be a musician, artist or creator," & there's a viable path to that. We were formed in 2019 in Miami, after we fell in love and started creating in our home studio.
About wavMOMENTs:
wavMOMENTs are collectible social moments experienced IRL brought to the URL, as the first ever music NFT drop on Lens. This drop includes 3 of our artists from the wavWRLD Web3 Music Showcase event during NFT NYC in June 2022 at The DL — KarmaVioletta, Peter Saputo & Alec King. These NFTs consist of a spinning vinyl artwork with photos & audio clips from these artists’ rooftop performances — live IRL moments brought to the URL to experience on the blockchain.
About @wavWRLD.lens:
wavWRLD is a social garden building infrastructure to enable unique musical experiences that connect artists with their true fans. We believe in a world where a kid can have a financial, emotional, and social path to being a musician, artist, or creator.
We’re turning collectors into true fans. We’re using Web3’s open, transparent systems to create direct digital & physical experiences that strengthen the connection between them. We then take those experiences & put them back on-chain to continue deepening this fan-to-artist relationship & expanding the value creation opportunities.
About @lensprotocol:
Lens Protocol is a tech stack for building a decentralized social web that enables people to bring their digital profiles, social graph, and content to different Web3 apps. With Lens, developers can build tools, applications and platforms that empower creators with full ownership and control over their content, community and engagements.
