" Genesis ", his first non-fungible token features a copy of a Don Diablo unreleased song & an accompanying digital art piece. The crypto-art piece is one copy of the song released that will be playable via a cartridge that coincides with a hologram synthesizer inspired by Don’s first keyboard that he purchased when he was a kid.
For my genesis (1 of 1) piece I wanted to create something very personal as well as innovative. This NFT is a magical combination of three elements: a never before heard song, an animation and it comes with a handbuilt hologram cabinet + cartridge to display the art in a truly unique way in your living room.
I started working on this particular song at the beginning of my career and have continued working on it every single year from that moment.
I must have spent over 250 hours in total on the song and never found the right purpose or timing to share it with the world, up until now. The animation of the hologram synthesizer is based on the very first keyboard I bought as a kid, to make things truly full circle.
The idea for the hexagon hologram cabinet (HEXAGRAM) and the cartridge derives from my love for both Star Wars as well as old school Nintendo gaming consoles. My genesis piece is nostalgia mixed with my vision for the future of digital art.
