I work not only as a sound maker, but also as a visual artist (with all due respect to true visual artists). I create multimedia works, sound art miniatures, pixel pictures, GIFs and everything that comes to my mind. Sometimes I take it seriously, sometimes I really don’t. Ever since the NFT craze kicked off, I’ve been pretty hyped about this whole space for art and web3 in general. Though, to be honest, I still find crypto kinda hilarious and have no real clue how it actually works. For all my digital art experiments and random fun, I go by the nickname cut-up-banana.
This collage was created for #AFTERGINSBERG project by theVERSEverse. It's inspired by Allen Ginsberg's poem "A supermarket in California". Ana Maria Caballero, inviting me to this project, wrote: "prepare whatever you want, it can be music. But it must be printable...". So I created a cover art for a non-existent piece of music.
The neon fruit supermarket was indeed printed in Tickle Magazine. It was also exhibited at the VERSEverse exhibition in New York in 2024.
RINGTONES was my NFT collection minted on KnownOrigin (RIP).
Creating these pieces was extreme fun because it was a combination of my fascination with miniature sound forms and digital aesthetics.
I have composed some jingles that can be used as regular ringtones on smartphones. Each sound work is also accompanied by a pop art GIF created by me. RINGTONE 4 was exhibited during NFTNYC in New York in April 2024.
klowns
A completely wild piece created in collaboration with one of my favorite visual artists - Von Doyle.
Fun fact: first came the creepy soundtrack, and only then did Von create a surreal image inspired by those sounds.
DROP micro ep
My first sound art collection was minted on Rarible. It is a micro EP album DROP, created with Mateusz Modrzejewski. This is a generative art experiment that combines the world of music and artificial intelligence. DROP consists of 6 short pieces composed by a deep convolutional generative-adversarial network. The neural network used for these miniatures generates MIDI files, leaving selection, sound design and intentional expression to the human creator.
anti-rembrandts
The first #antirembrandts were minted on H=N. It was very simple concept with my photos converted to pixel pictures. The second selection of pixel self-portraits was available on 8bidou.
The new #antirembrandts collection is minted on objkt.com and it starts from no_15. I don't convert photos anymore, but I "paint" pixel by pixel. It is playing with colors and very simple forms. Usually I still think about these pieces as "self-portraits" even if they are something different.
Watch the collection here.
collabs
The most important part of the NFT movement are people. This community is not only about chatting and exchanging experiences, but also an opportunity for great fellowships.
The most exciting audiovisual works in my catalogue are collabs with the great artists: Adam Disbrow, Michelle Thompson, Ana Maria Caballero, Von Doyle or Rangga Purnama Aji . Find them on objkt.com, Foundation or Sound.
