Catch The Record

Music should no longer depend on corporations. Fans can help musicians do what they love directly. The community is tired of the monopoly of major labels, idiotic copyright laws and a system of distribution of funds under which only "a select few" can really exist. The rest have to earn money some other ways. Therefore within the CatchTheRecord ecosystem the "Sound Family DAO" is being created.

This is a label of experimental, modern classical and acoustic music. Also a community of sound professionals from different spheres. We don't providing a publications on streaming services what killed the future of musicians to receive income from listening to their music. Our label offers artists income only through direct interaction between fans and the artist in crypto world - still the last stronghold of freedom and common sense (that's why there is so much scam in it now). But regulators are coming...
Also it will be released a special application where people can listen the music of our artists and earn native ecosystem tokens. The label takes 10% of collected from NFT-services funds. All this is written in a smart contract and is visible to everyone. Every cent. Crypto is now frankly at the bottom - the best time to develop and create projects. Which is exactly what we do.

So, today we has an awesome news for you! "Sound Family DAO" made a 1st official release: [Catch The Crackle - The Raw Tape]. It is a 3-rd studio full-length album from this artist. Long ambient/downtempo lo-fi story about what is happening around us now. The album consists of melodies and rhythms created with the help of a cassette tape recorder and other sources passed through it. Also in the music are author's field recordings as a sound effects, atmospheres and samples of military conversations from the chronicles. 

For this event, we are releasing a special fan-nft collection on the Solana network consisting of 60 arts made with help of a neural network. Pictures can be minted for our native ecosystem token $SREC (Sound Recording Coin) which is being actively airdropped now and everyone can essentially get these fan arts for free (not counting the commission in the Solana network).

So, I’ve been into professional field recording for over five years, filling the days by capturing sounds and creating libraries. I like to wander streets not particularly knowing where I am, (carrying my bottomless backpack filled with microphones and headphones) to search and listen carefully. Thousands of hours have been dedicated to walking around various roads, sitting in the clouds of humming mosquitoes, pretending being a part of the environment and working at studio (listening tons of hours of these recordings). And then, I need to get back to those places I’ve already visited dozens or even hundreds of times to record in different weather or another season of the year. 

My sounds are used in films, games, commercials video production and adds. Some artists and bloggers are also using them for their purposes. Needless to say, it embraces my life. I set off on a sound recording adventure many years ago and I’m still all over it trying to convey one ordinary and not special idea: it’s beautiful around us, everywhere, right now, wherever you are.

Several weeks ago I came up with the idea to create a collection of my field recordings accompanied by neural networks art close to my beloved Swiss-born German artist. I was a bit terrified noticing that neural networks created the images much better than I could expect. There are 503 unique works depicting all possible variations on field recording in a vibrant way of abstract expressionism. You will hear the recordings of the sea and forests, busy streets and public transport, the rain and a bonfire, the buzzing of a fly, whistling winds, meadows, the bells and human voices (indoor and outdoor public tones).. 

I’ve created the preview videos

with the musical improvisations by a composer and a sound designer Nadia Gourskaya.gourskaya and my field recordings. 

And now I need your support. First I want to attract attention of the local communities related to sound design and sound recording. You know the real value of this craft: how much time and effort field recordings take. Your support makes a big difference for me to stay in the profession and continue doing what I’m doing. 

If you find my work useful, you can support me by purchasing any piece of this art. 

All owners of the NFT will be given full access to my site: the sound libraries and a full version for a subscribers. 

P.S. by this project I want to draw more attention to crypto and its using in pro-audio sphere.

Site in 2022. Surely, I want to cover all my working process here, focusing on this site, not telegram channels or instagram.  I strongly believe it's a good way to build a close relationship with my audience and slow down in this hectic world. I appreciate all people visiting my site.  
Have a great day!

There is some ambience sound. 
Guess, what place it is.
