artist RICHIE HAWTIN & MATTHEW HAWTI title F.U.S.E. – “SYNTAX [TWO]” platform: ASYNC MUSIC (WAVE II Date: May 24, 2021, 9am PST / 6pm CE RICHIE HAWTIN & MATTHEW HAWTIN RELEASE COLLABORATIVE NFT WITH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMABLE ART PLATFORM ASYNC ART F.U.S.E. – “SYNTAX [TWO]” is an NFT project combining brand new audio & visual art from the British- born, Canadian-raised brothers, Richie & Matthew Hawtin. Released on Monday 24th May on the groundbreaking NFT platform Async Art as part of their Wave II concept on Async Music, the blockchain- based platform that allows musicians to create a changeable menu of audio composites that allow multiple versions of a single song. Artists upload all audio & visual variations, called Stem Layers, for a future owner to choose their favorite version and change the current live song, called Master Track, for everyone else to see and hear. In the example of the Hawtin collaboration, “Syntax [Two]” is made up of eight layers that can be combined in subtle but profound ways to create unique iterations An additional feature of Async Music technology is that there will also be a set of limited white label NFT’s which will also allow users to mint their own platinum, gold, silver editions of the current state of the master track, allowing more people to participate in the NFT version of “Syntax [Two]” and own unique versions. Other artists con rmed for the Async Music Wave II release are Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park, Pak & Lee Gaito, Rarescrilla and Beats Unique The “Syntax [Two]” NFT project is part of the new F.U.S.E. EP “Syntax” which also features the more dance oor focused “Syntax [One]” and will be released on streaming platforms on June 4. Uniting the traditional music world and the developing NFT eco-system, a second “remixed” version of Syntax [Two] will be released as part of the traditional EP release. “Syntax [Two] @username Async NFT mix” will be chosen from the current Master Track state one week after the sale of the Master and all layers and will appear on Spotify (and other streaming platforms) with the Canvas artwork depicting the visual state of the Master. The layer owners will be the one in control of the nal mix or state of this special version and the Master owner will be credited in the remixes title The release will see the Hawtin brothers revisit the seminal F.U.S.E. project to create “SYNTAX”. This once again nds the brothers looking forward into the future, exploring how interactive music and art will soon become commonplace in our lives Prices and quantity for the release are set at: Master Track - auctio Layers - auctio Platinum (3 available) - $3,000 eac Gold (10 available) - $1,000 eac Silver - 50 - $100 each Richie Hawtin & Matthew Hawtin state: “‘Syntax’ envisions a future where art is fully malleable and evolves as it enters the public space.
