Meant To Be (live mini edit) Meant To Be is about growing as a person and how moments in your life can be so overwhelming at the time you can’t make sense of them but as you grow older you come to terms with how they contributed to making you who you are. They can make you more resilient, more compassionate and better equipped at how to deal with them in the future… and you understand it was meant to be that way. It's a record that for me captures so much of what I love about UK dance music. I've always been obsessed with sampling and hip hop and consequently the music that influenced me the most draws from the same places, whether that's Portishead, Tricky, Jamie XX, Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Moby, Caribou.. it's this soulful imperfection that gives them their own sound as they absorb the music around them and turn it into their own thing. It’s always something I try to keep in mind when I'm making my music. We are in a time where the sound of music is getting more and more homogenized and although my music isn't always perfect that's a decision I make, I feel like it makes more sense to be me, than imitate whatever trend is happening right now. #music #electronicmusic

Making time:
Hey! Nice to find a new group with music vibes on lens This is the he album I’m playing in every communal setting right now song: ‘Alesis’ by Mk.gee This is why I love albums, cause this song grew on me over 2 weeks of having this on all the time. Some songs need time, they need a moment or emotional context to connect. They need to find you at the right time. I’m an album tracks person, I like the slow grower and the depth 🤷🏼♂️ https://youtu.be/er3C8_FlQi4?si=VNtrDyteG9x4K0UG

The Sound of Fractures Token just got an upgrade! 🎶 We're changing the game with a new revenue share model. Read on to learn more. 👇 As previous posts have shown, the question of ‘why’ becomes central to every conversation I have, and my ‘why’ is different to yours, or yours, or yours .. we all have our reasons to connect with ideas. So, in response to some of these conversations I have decided to adapt the model to not just fund on a project by project basis, but to share in the onchain revenue in return for participating and contributing to my projects. The Sound of Fractures Token will now offer collectors who contribute by buying the token during the project window to share 50/50 in the onchain net profits of the project Scenes, with the other 50% going to a Sound of Fractures treasury. The move will hopefully bring in more interest but also help participants feel a part of the project, from process and journey to end product in terms of artistic output but also of revenue. By buying Sound of Fractures Token you are a creator in the project alongside me and you can capture the value that you add as you watch it grow. This ranges from 1 to becoming an executive producer for 200 Tokens.

I wanted to share this post to give insight into what it’s like to be creating ideas that don’t fit into a tidy box. https://mirror.xyz/sofractures.eth/-P2wm-HGVvTfR0CsF8QuH0nrAWovNbPsLDxF9DPgXmM To be creating and thinking outside of current models and expectations comes with the endless challenge of explaining yourself to an audience saddled with preconceptions. It is without a doubt hard to break free of what we know, that goes for me too, I constantly feel myself being pulled back to the safety of things I already understand, formats I’m familiar with and approaches that have examples and frameworks that are easy to understand and explain. It makes sense that in a society where you need financial support that communicating in set simple ways is the default. We follow what has worked. It’s our natural position, but it can be a ball and chain that slows us down and stifles our thinking. Openness to something new is challenging for all of us, and the and on the other side of that is people trying to communicate something that has a radically different goal (especially in terms of where revenue is generated and for who), which is incredibly challenging as the audience constantly tries to fit your ideas into shapes that they already have formed in their mind. Here are excerpts from the conversations I have been having alongside trying to raise funds. Thanks to the people I quote ♥️
World Building to me is about understanding **the network of connections that form strong emotional bonds within and around an artist's music** and creating artifacts around it to symbolize them. We are moving into a future where we need to rethink the Artist-Audience relationship.

Closed out the drop at number 2 🙏 2.7k editions sold and lots of new listeners and collectors to connect with ❤️ Thanks to everyone who collected! Here’s why I wanted to get in the viral chart A few weeks ago i launched a new way for people to invest in Sound of Fractures and projects that I’m going to build.
