Music, at its best, always tells a story. Whether it’s a romantic classic from the 1800s or the latest Top 40 hit, the songs that last are those that connect with listeners via their universal stories. And for the past twenty years, recording artist Abel Okugawa has been doing just that, creating his own unique blend of electronic music that fuses urban flavors together with natural, organic elements to tell his own musical story, using the hidden intricacies of sound and rhythm to bring life to each and every one of his projects.

Not limited to commercial sounds, Okugawa has also had the opportunity to score music for the big and small screen. After composing the score for the Emmy Award winning King Lines in 2008, the artist’s work on Mantra the next year won the award for “Best Film Score” at the Dark Carnival Film Festival. Additionally, the artist’s portfolio boasts his score on several films having won the BANFF Festival’s highest honors while he’s worked as sound designer and mixer for Boyd Tinsley’s celebrated film, Faces in the Mirror.

Inventing audio worlds for motion graphics, CGI, Live-Action, Documentary and Adventure Films, Abel Okugawa has put sound to picture for clients such as Start VR, Red Bull, The North Face, Arcteryx, The Monroe Institute, Big Up Productions, Sender Films, NBC, YouTube, Vimeo, Camp 4 Collective, The Dave Matthews Band, Boyd Tinsley, Enrique Iglesias, Filament Productions, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Dead and Co (Formerly The Grateful Dead).

Abel Okugawa brings his skills, research and experience in the fields of music composition, sonic design & construction, live production, engineering and programming to a wide range of projects including music and sound for video, interactive installations, product design, and sonic brand experiences.

Hi Everyone! I am Daniel Gillis, I go by We@lth as an NFT artist. I’m really just getting started in this and I have so many ideas, but I’m still learning (so much really) about navigating this space. I really need to connect with others so that I have people to talk to about it since most people barely understand what NFTs are :joy:

GM - and welcome - I have same issue… highly collaborative, extroverted, in hotel and F&B business, building in Web3, and everyone in my former world still thinks NFT is Nightly Fee Transaction :rofl:… [quote=“Dan1111, post:22, topic:7773, full:true”]

I was trying to figure out how to contact you privately just to talk about nfts and stuff and then I thought of sending you one of my nfts. So I sent you one of my nft tickets, in the future I think all ticketing will be done with nfts but until then I’ve been creating these fun acronyms for NFT that in a meaningful or playful way share this idea. What kind of stuff are you working on with your nfts? I would love to see if we can collaborate on anything or atleast trade some nfts and bounce some ideas around together. Anyways enjoy my No Fake Things ticket!

gm everyone :wave: Kemp here from AR.IO Network - we have a lot of love for what Manifold has enabled for creators. As big users of Arweave, manifold is already using our stack requesting data from the weave via arweave.net (we operate this, the network provide 100s of decentralised alternatives). We’re exploring better ways we can support manifold via new routing protocol for requesting data ar://wayfinder and also utility to allow creators to deploy decentralised versions of their galleries on Arweave Name System (ArNS) - a couple of ecosystem teams are starting to explore one-click solutions for this. Hope to share more info soon, glad to be here!

Hi All, Im GH Hovagimyan. I’ve been a digital artist since 1993. Here’s a portfolio link https://gh.nujus.net – Im new to web3 . I started with early web. I was one of the first artist in NYC to start working with the internet. Actually my first piece was pre-web. It was called BKPC. A photo series featuring a white Barbie doll and a Black ken doll. Later I remade it as a web piece using client pull animation (javascript). I have a series of (40) 27 second morph videos I am attempting to mint on manifold.
