Lunar Beach
MINTING NOW!
I am continuously fascinated by the relationship between sounds + visuals. My latest audiovisual NFT “Lunar Beach” explores what is possible when I produce music inspired by a video loop/scene, then use the music stems to trigger visual effects and manipulate the original image.
Each stem from the audio composition is meticulously mapped to a visual element. The video is captured using a hacked camera made to shoot infrared light. Resulting in the purple and blue look you see in the artwork.
I Could Have Been A Tree Instead
In the hauntingly beautiful realm of "I Could Have Been A Tree Instead," the fusion of art, technology, and storytelling transcends the ordinary, inviting audiences into an otherworldly audiovisual odyssey.
This film is a digital creation sprung out of the surreal art of Beatrix Ost and Michelle Gagliano. A surrealist dive into the immediate realities of humanity’s affect on Earth - imploring us to pay attention, asking us to look deeper at our personal effects on our internal and external environments.
How can we make our individual and collective lives more meaningful, beautiful, and with heart? What will it require for us to know we are all an integral part of nature?

Into Bliss
How little we know about where we come from and where we are going.
Could it feel like bliss to surrender into this groundlessness?
We could be falling into our ancestors deepest prayers for us - this part of our journey particularly blessed by them.

Each NFT has a short backstory based on a courier's experience living in Neo Metropolis, the cyberpunk world where the music is produced and originates.
I’ve been creating music for use in film and visual art for most of my life. The excitement of joining the NFT community is getting to create magical collaborative works with my favorite artists and friends!
This sparked the idea for a series of NFTs which were designed from the ground up for collaboration.

Sultry dub beats speak softly to particles dancing across the screen. Cinematic vibes emanate from the downtempo deep dub grooves.
Music composed by Abel Okugawa and translated to visuals by SAWCHAK — our first collaboration of 2023.
Dubstyle downtempo beats are a favorite style of mine to produce and vibe out with. When I was young and discovering records I came to the Dub section and was glued as soon as I heard some of my favorites to this day, King Tubby, Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor, Black Uhuru, I can go on the music runs deep. I think this is why I was so attracted and have continued to dive into the genre learning more about the production techniques and custom gear that was built f to create the sounds I love. This influence has stuck with me along my journey as a producer, engineer and tech. I love soldering up some new hi Fi cables or working the tape on a delay machine, all these sound artifacts fascinate me and play a big part in the sound design I create. This track Ethereal Wheels has a few signature sounds and tones that I learned to create over the years all woven together to with my own flavor.
Lo-Fi Moments Hi-Fi Feelings
Each NFT is a vignette into a moment in time steeped in feeling. Somewhere familiar yet unknown, from a time we remember, but which hasn’t happened yet, or maybe is reoccurring through a glitch in time-space. The music meets the visual in this series, to create the “Lo-Fi Moments Hi-Fi Feelings” collection.
The main set of tracks is a collaboration with my longtime friend and colleague, SAWCHAK. The images he captured with his homemade infrared camera transported me to a new place, where I found and created the soundtrack for that moment. Putting sound and picture together has always fascinated me and brings a very satisfying sense of completion when I find the perfect fit.
The special track "Space to Breathe" is a song written by Red Flower Lake in 2020. We never know what will happen when we take risks, but we do know that without risks being taken, the unknown may never manifest. This remix is that manifestation.

Description:
"Art is my anchor, music is my ship."
This song is born from the inspiration of finding what brings me in, what livens up my day, sometimes I need a little intense motivation in the form of deep beats, the vibration of music sets me right. Dub music is a huge influence on me, the sounds and tones Dub music culture create are exciting and attractive to my ear and heart. Putting me on my own path of sound wizardry, mixing sounds and styles together to create new flavors, beats and textures for your ears to feel and your mind to wander.
