Over the last 6 months, traveling to build the Eternal Garden community has been a profound experience.
I’ve been exploring and developing new technologies to improve the music ecosystem for independent artists, aiming to empower fellow creatives and break free from traditional limitations.
The Eternal Garden has become more than a musical movement; it is a community that fosters unity, support, and the transformative power of music. I am humbled by the journey we have embarked upon, and I am excited to continue nurturing this community, cultivating creativity, and making a lasting impact.
Eternal Garden was my first ever onchain album - 7 unique songs + visuals launched on November 25th, 2022.
In 7 days, we sold 700 NFTs generating 38.26 ETH in revenue. It was the largest release on Sound by primary volume and the largest project to utilize Sound Protocol by a solo artist at the time.
ORIGINS
ORIGINS is the second installment in the Eternal Garden series and my sophomore album.
"Eternal Garden: ORIGINS” is a prequel that unravels the extraordinary tale of Arcaius and Nadia, chronicling their unlikely bond, their selfless sacrifice, and the creation of Arcadia—the birthplace of the Eternal Garden.
It consists of 7-tracks - each offering a unique perspective into the world that shaped the Eternal Garden.
-
The War Starts Now
-
Galaxy
-
Universe
-
Danger
-
Lost In Love
-
Villages
-
Army of Love
Sonically, ORIGINS plays directly into the Eternal Garden album chronicling the moments before, during, and after the legend of Arcadia.
Collect the Album

ORIGINS was minted on Optimism - giving the most accessible and cost-efficient onramp possible.
In partnership with Coop Records, we developed a custom smart contract which interacts with each of the seven underlying songs on Sound in one transaction.
This gives collectors the convenience of being able to purchase the album all at once while providing the optionality to mint songs on their own.
There are 7000 editions in total - 1000 for each of the 7 songs.
The album is priced at 0.007 ETH while individual songs are priced at 0.0011 ETH each.
This means that collectors receive a discount when collecting all together.
Thanks to the Box, collectors can purchase with ETH on any chain, all without having to bridge to Optimism.
We’re partnering with Spinamp to launch a custom playlist that allows listeners to purchase the album on their home page - offering yet another vessel into the Eternal Garden.
Lastly - we’ll be Bringing in ORIGINS with a sample pack on Kits, and encouraging collectors to play around with my AI Voice Model.
