To fully take charge of the visual aspect along with the sound was a new, enlightening experience. It's a different way of playing with the rhythms found in nature.” Boreta is a Los Angeles based musician and artist. In 2022 his project Superposition earned a Grammy nomination and his Art Blocks release Rituals received the esteemed Lumen Prize. He is also a member of The Glitch Mob, an influential electronic group.   Stream Entry, 2023 NFT Video, Unique Original 3 ETH MINT CRITICAL ESSAY ‘Unique Together: On Generative Music and Worldbuilding’   Tero Parviainen, a musical software developer who has worked closely with Boreta, considers generative sound in relation to virtual worldbuilding, offering a fresh perspective on how to experience and explore the cutting-edge of computer music.    "An encounter with a generative music system can feel like being in an immersive game. The composer designs a musical world for you to explore. Your experience within it is completely unique, yet you can find commonalities and connections with other people who went there.” READ ESSAY Unit London, 3 Hanover Square, Mayfair, London W1S 1HD, United Kingdom, +44 (0) 20 7494 2035 Unsubscribe Manage preferences GIF 1: Image 1: Boreta, Stream Entry, NFT Video, 2023, Unique Original.
