20/08/2021 New NFT Music Collection Celebrates the Resurgence of Vinyl Records

Top 40 Recording Artist Jon Christopher Davis to release "Vinyl Revival" music collection as a NFT on OpenSea.io

DALLASAug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vinyl records meet NFTs in the release of a new NFT collection based on the song "Vinyl Revival" by Jon Christopher Davis, nationally recognized singer-songwriter-producer. Available August 25, 2021 on OpenSea.io, this NFT collection includes a number of digital and real-life items including vinyl records, music videos, and private concert events. 

"I wrote Vinyl Revival as a tribute to the joy of listening to rock and country music on vinyl," says Jon Christopher Davis, a Texas-based recording artist with numerous hit songs including "Lone Star Attitude," "The Bottom Line," "Relay for Life," and "Little Bird." 

 

Jon adds, "By releasing Vinyl Revival as a NFT collection, I can bring a new music experience that combines the old and new together into something truly unique that music fans will love."

The Vinyl Revival Collection contains a number of collectible music items, including:

* Limited Edition NFTs that allows the owner to receive a vinyl record of "Vinyl Revival," a signed album cover, and a digital version of the companion music video.
* A Limited Volume NFT containing a 30 second video clip from the song's music video.
* Two NFTs that can be redeemed for a private concert event, including one at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

"This NFT collection brings together everything a music fan loves; from vinyl records to digital art to once-in-a-lifetime concert events," says Sam Stanton, Chief Experience Officer for NFT Collaborative, the promoter for the collection. He adds, "This is one of the few NFT collections that allows digital currency owners to convert their holdings into real-life experiences."

While NFTs have grown in popularity, there are several challenges that inhibit the collection of NFTs by serious collectors; including verification that the art is authorized for release by the artist and the location of the actual digital files on the internet.

"Buying an NFT today is like buying a painting from a resale shop; while you like the art, do you know if it is authentic," says Sean Jackson, Chief Digital Officer for NFT Collaborative. He adds, "serious NFT collectors require a lot more information if they are going to protect the value of their purchase in the long-term."

The digital files included with the Vinyl Revival NFT Collection have been enhanced to include additional metadata within the file along with a separate Certificate of Authenticity for each NFT. Further, the hi-res digital files and Certificates are hosted on IPFS, a decentralized storage network, that distributes the files across a wide network of servers for long-term availability.

"When we created these NFTs we thought about what a collector would need years from now to help protect and enhance the value of their purchase. Using our approach, and relying on open standards, we have created a better quality of NFT than what is commonly available," says Sean Jackson.

The Vinyl Revival NFT Collection will be available for purchase on August 25, 2021 on OpenSea.io.

Interesting NFTs
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier Arrés’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, Arrés, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, Arrés uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, Arrés elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. Arrés presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, Arrés freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier Arrés: https://javierarres.com/about.html
trump 2020
This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.

Right Place & Right Time (bitcoin hourly price offset)
Each day, a new composition for the Master is generated autonomously using a data feed of Bitcoin's last 24 hours of price action. Each hour's price programmatically controls rotation, scale, and position of a correlating layer. Astute viewers will surmise the day's price volatility simply by examining the artwork. While the daily image generation is the result of autonomous API calls, utilizing an algorithm the artist wrote, the artist has chosen to retain a control token. This token allows him to fine-tune variables associated with his algorithm, in addition to addressing aesthetic concerns within the life-cycle of the artwork. Layer state, alpha, hue, saturation, and brightness are elements the artist has retained control of in order that this artwork remain a living work-in-progress. An earlier iteration of this artwork was featured as a nightly projection mapping video on the face of the Daniels Fisher Clocktower, as part of ETH Denver 2020. Access to this and additional exclusive content awaits the master token owner at the artist's NFT Portal: https://collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/right-place-right-time-bitcoin-hourly-price-offset/
