Incredibly hyped to introduce my next project:
[ CYCLES ]
- Generative music collection
- Live instrumentation
- Controllable real time fx
- 100% CC0
Been working on this for a year now and it’s really put all my skill sets to use.
Details: 🧵
Should be more distinction between IPFS and Arweave.
Paid and permanent (arweave) = immutable
IPFS needs extra safeguards and handholding onchain. Arweave doesn't.
Very important difference
[ infinite branches ]
Dropping @ 2pst on
@ProhibitionArt
Some more info about the project before the drop today.
- 8 bar generative compositions
- Chords ‘branch’ from previous chord algorithmically
- All music and code is CC0
Space @ 1pst:
New
@soundxyz_
drop tomorrow!
This is the first instrumental I’ve put out.
Free for anyone to hop on or remix.
Led to some interesting questions about open collaboration and CC0.
[ d0ppelgänger ]
A new token / smart contract inspired by
@patrickamadon
’s Doppelgänger artwork and
@TransientLabs
contract.
Built on the concept / art / tech
Here’s what it is/what it does
This one’s going live in an hr
Will be doing a whole thread on it tomorrow
Go hit “explore algorithm” and play w the control keys
Biggest project I’ve ever done
One week from today!
@ProhibitionArt
- Project 10
[ infinite branches ]
369 pieces @ .0369 E
Code all onchain - zero dependencies
Minimal generative compositions
Using
@ArtBlocksEngine
Fully CC0
Wanna collect “Inifinite Branches” without bridging to
@arbitrum
?
Just send 0.04 eth on main net (L1) to infinitebranches.eth and one will be bought and sent it to your wallet automatically.
Huge thanks to
@DeFragDAO
for setting this up!
@ProhibitionArt
Amazing to see the collection coming together!
Nerding out a lil on distribution:
-Only 1 hyper so far (you see it?)
Should be 1% but it’s 1/338 right now
-Inverted (dark mode) are about right @ 10%
-Fuzzy (fast LFO pitch) are 3% and about right at scale
-Also a Hectic
[ The Pain of Things that Couldn’t Be ]
A generative music 1/1
Many recorded possibilities for each section/part.
Only one (3 minute) piece generated by the minter.
The rest of them will be lost.
This one’s still minting
@ProhibitionArt
!
Generative music through fully onchain code - no external dependencies.
Chord progressions created w branching algorithm.
Code and all outputs are CC0 🌍🤝
Crazy year of creating onchain:
- d0ppelgänger (solidity / music)
- Voids (gen piano recordings)
- Infinite Branches (gen synths)
- Particles (controllable gen synths)
- The Pain of Things that Couldn't Be (gen 1/1)
Was a tough year irl but proud of these.
The basics:
64 note generative compositions
Bass made from the Branches code that resolves harmonically
Sonics that resemble my analog synths
Controllable parameters that make them playable
All code. Fully onchain (L2)
@ArtBlocksEngine
through
@ProhibitionArt
Many reasons that CC0 is great.
But one is that it provides creators with assets to work with.
Every mint of Particles is a new piece added to the creative commons.
Making this new open music ecosystem together🌍🤝
0.001 eth
@ProhibitionArt
Think of CC0 as a public library.
Anyone can use.
Funded by people that want to support and co-own.
The better works we add the better resource it becomes for everyone
Love to see 10 new Particles mints from
@lnrzxyz
!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Whole point of keeping the price low on these is to have them end up in the hands of creators that can do cool things w them
These found the perfect home
Much love to the gang!
🌍🤝
The basic structure is notes represented by a 8x8 grid
The shapes correlate to wave shapes
Bass progression represented by rectangles on the sides.
The shade of these side rectangles matches notes in progression
The length matches the time
Been so wild watching outputs get generated for Infinite Branches.
This is the first time I’ve had work get collaboratively generated this way onchain.
A few things I’m watching for as these roll out 👀
Why make Particles?
For open music to thrive we need exponentially more options.
Anyone should be able to come here and find a unique piece of music to collaborate with.
And they should be able to create w it easily.
And it should be reasonably easy to buy.
Particles is my answer to that.
It creates a giant* 30,000 piece collection of music that reflects what I do and like about subtractive synths at a balance of accuracy and scale.
*I doubt this will seem very big in the larger scope of L2 collections
@musicben_eth
Would be interesting to do an open edition where the funds went into a waterfall
@0xSplits
wallet.
- First x amount of eth goes to artist living expense/personal wallet
- The rest goes to promotion expense wallet to blow the song up
More buys = more reach
Hyper mode (red) adds a pitch envelope at the top of the notes
Small amount of those proportionally (1%) but still will be 300 or so in the whole collection
Almost all the traits can stack so there will be a lot of crossover. Most of the super-rarity will come from that
But even the most common piece might have the right melody/sound combination
Or be controllable into something way deeper
Can’t believe I finally get to announce this. Live now!

0.01-0.99 eth
First song off my solo project and first of it’s kind dynamic music nft.
New SEEDS samples start Friday w Volume 4!
Some huge changes with this relaunch:
- New 1155 contract
- Building toward DAO / treasury
- New pieces every Friday
Details 🧵:
There's a place for every artist on Prohibition ✖️
Whether you've deployed generative art in the past or are just getting started with creative coding, we encourage & invite everyone to explore our platform 🤍
heds, we couldn't have done it without you!
A huge thank you to all of the talented artists who participated in the hedsTAPE series throughout 2022.
Your passion and creativity will continue to foster a forward-thinking culture within music and the arrival of art to web3.
CC0 music is such an insane unlock for us.
Already gotten back songs in different languages, house flips (pre Drake btw), cypher rooms, lots of beats.
Most of it isn’t ready to be shared yet but it is happening.
Open, global collaboration is a cheat code.

Biggest project I’ve ever done
Minted my photography genesis on
@Foundation
to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of
@TracesCA
6HRS album.
Eleven 1/1’s chosen from thousands of shots for the project.
Short version is:
-Download stems for ‘99c’
-Rework/remix/write something any way you want
-I’m curating w an
@ArtivaApp
page on September 9 to point people towards the reworks
-Artists keep all revenue since it’s cc0
-Everyone is welcome
Spaces are back at 10am all week w SEEDS vol. 3
Auctions every day Mon-Fri.
