Pan Winyl Presents: "Meridian 68" - The Digital Pressing Revolution with Serenade
I've played the role of a publisher before. I've released CDs, I've released vinyl, but I've never released an NFT – at least not in such a professional manner. And now, that memorable day has arrived. September 1, 2023. Thanks to my efforts, the Dagadana band, as the first Polish band, has landed on the international NFT platform Serenade.co. I invite you to this extraordinary adventure, one that opens a completely new chapter in the Polish music industry. From today until September 6, 2023, at 11:00 AM, there's an information campaign going on. Sign up to ensure you don't miss the opportunity to acquire this unique release!
September 1, 2023, 8:00 PM
Sign up today; the sale of the digital version of the album "Meridian 68" on the Serenade.co platform starts on September 6, 2023, at 11:00 AM. Your registration doesn't commit you to purchase – you'll receive a notification by email or phone reminding you when the sale begins.
This event holds exceptional significance for us, and we are tremendously excited to share it with you. But before we get into the details, let me tell you about Serenade – the platform behind this innovative initiative.
What Is Serenade.co?
Serenade is more than just a music platform; it's a movement that brings a new ethos to the music industry. It's a place where music, artists, and fans come together on entirely new terms. But what's it all about, precisely?
Digital Pressings are the modern-day versions of limited-edition vinyl. They're rare releases produced by artists in limited quantities, with additional special content to reward those who support musicians.
Why Is This Important?
Artists from various musical genres, regardless of their status, create Digital Pressings. For them, it's not merely a means of releasing an album; it's a way to elevate the narrative associated with their creativity for those who seek more than the standard release. It's a unique opportunity for collectors and music enthusiasts to engage intimately with their favorite creators.
Adding storytelling elements is one of the factors that allows listeners to establish a deeper connection with the band and its work. Stories always provide context and give unique character to artistic works. Through digital pressings, as Papcio Chmiel might put it, we humanize digital releases.
How Does It All Work?
Digital Pressings became possible through Web3 technology, which enables the transfer of digital media like music and art onto unique objects, collected by fans who love and want to support their favorite artists.
Each Digital Pressing is associated with a unique Non-Fungible Token (NFT), recorded on a blockchain selected for its environmental friendliness. Producing 1.2 million Digital Pressings would equate to the carbon footprint of an average 12-inch vinyl record.
Here is a sample recording in the English language, made by Daga Gregorowicz specifically for this release. This "Introduction" and the following 11 mini-episodes dedicated to the stories behind the songs on the album will be received by every person who joins the project by purchasing Dagadana's "Meridian 68" Digital Pressing on the Serenade.co platform - sign up today. Along with the English version, Polish (also recorded by Daga) and Ukrainian versions were created, recorded by Dana Vynnycka.
