NFT Double Drop

For a while, the lockdowns in my state drove me into music. I listened to tons of Herbie Hancock with Miles and his early 70s releases. I also listened to the transition Miles Davis made from his 1960s sound with pianists Bill Evans to Hancock and beyond.

I played a lot of Monk as well trying to understand the genius behind these odd yet utterly pleasing compositions.

These musicians affected me a lot and the biggest way they influenced me was to instead of doing drills or repetitive exercises (which I still need), I was encouraged to explore during my practice sessions. Find new chords or voicings and see how I could reign them back into what us as a collective knows.

In those sessions, which I recorded and posted on my Youtube channel, I eventually discovered new ways to play a couple old Christmas songs I knew the melody to.

I have recently recorded the two songs and both of these will be 1/1 NFTs and they'll be the first live recordings I've put on any blockchain.

I didn't mention it in the description but the unlockable includes an mp4 download of the videos.

I feel like the piano really can capture that angelic crystal-like descent of the snowflake. On my Yamaha, I changed the setting to electric piano 1 and I really dig the sound it created for my rendition of The First Noel.

I hope you enjoy.

Thank You

A huge huge thank you to @bullauge who picked up my 7 energy center music video. This is one of the biggest sales I've made and will go towards releasing more NFTs and picking up some great pieces for my collection.

My Collection

This is from an unplanned trade with @clayboyn. It was unexpected and so pleasant to receive due to the resemblance and similarity to alpacas (my latest NFT fetish).

I was craving hand written art after making NFT sales and I found this piece by @richardfyates. It is an animation and this is only one still from it.

Founder of the @nftshowroom, @juliakponsford, heard my confession on a Twitter DM and traded me an NFT. I think she's the first alien priestess I've spoken to.
