Since the earliest days of blockchain hype in the music industry, electronic music artists have often been the first to experiment with the technology: particularly those that are most tech-savvy and who control their rights.<\/p>\n
There are two new examples this week. First, trance legend BT is releasing whats being described as the worlds first programmatic album designed from the ground up for the blockchain.<\/p>\n
Its called Metaversal and is being released as an NFT. The album plays differently if you listen to it in the day, at night or during a full moon, and theres a cryptographic treasure hunt built in for fans. It follows BTs Genesis.Json project in May, which was also sold as an NFT (for the ether equivalent of $217.2k).<\/p>\n
The Metaversal auction kicks off tomorrow (29 September). In separate news, veteran DJ Paul Oakenfolds Starship Universe project is releasing thousands of NFTs with blockchain firm Cardano, including an album.<\/p>\n
Every aspect of the event, from the cover art and sleeve notes to the tracks and remixes will be put on the blockchain,reported Crypto News.<\/p>\n
