LORD (A Spotify Playlist) [Click HERE to listen]

The portal continues to open, and transition continues on our plane...

LORD is a playlist of mostly electronic music: a journey of transformation.

My first exposure to electronic music was the soundtrack to Disneyland’s Main Street Electrical Parade, by early synthesizer pioneers Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley. I still have the 7-inch picture disc I got during my first trip to Anaheim in 1974…a treasure which I played countless time on my General Electric shoebox record player in baby blue. About a year later, I went through a phase of London Phase 4 Stereo LPs. My Uncle Babi turned me on to Moog!, by Claude Denjean and the Moog Synthesizer. I remember listening to the record on his quadraphonic stereo.

Every time I listened to these records and many subsequent others, electronic music became my refuge, my zero-point center for manifesting reality. Those thoughts were the template of reality. Many epiphanies were had on the rocking chair at the terrace, or in the music room. I would land again in my body after listening.

Via acid house and Detroit techno during formative first years in New York, the point of contact deepened, aided by mystical repetition, and layering of chords.

Jim turned me on to the Virtual Playground Fest presented by EDM Chicago, broadcast May 30 on Twitch. As I listened to the sets over the course of the weekend, I was humming and celebrating and feeling generously nourished by the energy, spirit, and melodic program of the music.

I was enthralled by the selection of techno and house music in endless variation, played by a parade of DJs in one-hour sets broadcast from their homes…so connected to the historic jams of the 1980s and beyond.

Inspired, I put together this playlist of some of those seminal jams, mixed in with ones I heard during the broadcast. In a way, this is a techno version of my playlist The Other Cheek. After all, today’s electronic dance music festivals can be traced to the classical music festivals of the 1800s to 1920s.

The cover image is Lord by Bubi Canal, a part of the Hologram project, where the character appears in video. Bubi made the headpiece, bracelets, and necklaces; he had the hen wand in his collection for several years, waiting to find its place in a photo.

According to The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images, edited by Ami Ronnberg and Kathleen Martin for Taschen, hens inspired alchemy’s image of the “chick-point of the egg as the mystic germ or center brooded into life by the henlike heat of the unconscious and the meditation of the adept.”

Zimrii Music’s Mo Jalloh: 3 Ways Artist Tokens to Drive Music Economy

Napster and similar peer-to-peer music sharing sites that sprung up in the late 1990s resulted in a surge in music piracy as music fans copied and shared music for free. Enter blockchain technology, the new peer-to-peer surge. 

This is a guest post from Mo Jalloh of Zimrii Music. 

A New Music Economy

As the P2P revolution comes this time around, there is promise that blockchain technology will drastically alter the music landscape for the benefit of both musicians and fans.

Whereas digital and illegal downloading once wreaked havoc on the industry at-large — from music creators to record labels, none were spared — a blockchain-based model for music pledges to boost the fortunes of artists. Industry middlemen and gatekeepers, however, could be in danger.

It’s all about tokenization, my friends.

What Is an Artist Token?

A token or cryptocurrency is a mechanism whereby an asset is created on a blockchain. In terms of music, the asset can be in the form of digital music or other forms of creative output. This opens up the opportunity for fans of a band or musician to hold an asset in that entity and share in the revenue flows of said artists.

We believe this presents a fantastic mechanism to drive a new form of creative innovation and will do so in 3 key areas:

1. Creation of a token economy or ecosystem

There is a now a mechanism whereby the token economy is driven by the value of an artist’s work. When an artist creates a token, they’re turning their intellectual property into a financial asset, so an artist’s token reflects the value of their output.

If you buy into an artist’s token, you are owning a share of the artist’s creations and their revenue flows. The more people who consume the artist’s creations, the higher the value of the given token.

2. Artists and consumers to earn money from token economy

Artists can raise money through a token launch now.

These token launches are designed to dispense royalty flows. If someone pays for an artist’s content, then all of that artist’s token-holders will receive a pro rata share of that payment.

3. Generate new forms of engagement experiences

Tokens can also be exchanged for perks, like special access at a concert or early access to a new film release. By issuing tokens, artists and other entities in the creative industries can generate new forms of experiences around creative content.

  These are exciting times, indeed. Artist tokens promise a novel era of value creation and growing recognition in the music industry to enable more artists to take control of their creative futures. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

What’s your take? Do you think the new tokenized artist economy can really take off in the years ahead? Sound off in the comments below.

#Krewella at the Aragon in #Chicago. The visuals and the mix flow were legit. The length of the show however, not so much. But short, sweet, and to the point is preferable to drawn out filler. #edm #edmchicago #raves #edmvibes #ravemusic #edmlove via Instagram http://ift.tt/2yT3eQe
