Funding Period: September 2021

Description:

Shaka’s lo-fi Experience is the solo musical project of Joaquim de Brito aka Shaka which blends the traditional sounds of the berimbau with a modern infusion of rock n’roll and psychedelia ambience, in a first of its kind sound experiment. The project was born in Seattle (2013) as a homage to two musical masters from two very different fields, Naná Vasconcelos and Jimi Hendrix, and is now being raised in Lisbon as an ever evolving experience.

This funding will go towards the costs involved in renting a studio for two days to record the EP with sound engineer Eddie Ivers (tediv.near) and producer/sound-artist Mark-Waldron Hyden as well as the artwork and design for the EP that will be created by Joaquim and Eddie.

One excerpt from the EP will be made available as an NFT accompanied by the artwork via the mutidao store once released.

muti.rec: Shaka’s Lofi Experience EP recording

Hello!

Just posting a further update on this. We spent the full 12 hours in the studio on Sunday and it went really well. We got a total of 6 tracks recorded plus poetry layers, overdubs and ambient sounds. All the ingredients for an exciting release from Shaka’s Lo-fi Experience (shakalofi.near).

Mark Waldron-Hyden (mwhyden.near) is now starting the process of the mixing and mastering of the tracks which he is planning to have finished by the start of October. In the meantime, myself and Shaka will be working on the accompanying artwork to the release and planning the NFT segment of the project.

Thanks again!

Hey @Dedeukwu,

Thank you for elaborating!
Due to the transition from N to USD we are restructuring our budget and are happy to see that the value that we had in mind for October actually fits to your request.

We’re happy to support this session in October with 600 USD for this month, you can take the “muti guidance/150 USD” out, as you are already familiar with the space and as the budget this month is a bit restricted due to the other projects. We’ll still do social media promotion ofc. :slight_smile:

Do you already have a timeline for the project?

Hey @tabear pretty cool,I will start the drum percussion and lyrics work this weekend if that’s okay by Muti :blush:
Okay then I’ll take the Muti guidance out thank you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hey :slight_smile:
Please wait for us to confirm the first payout to guarantee that the work can be rewarded. We will submit our monthly budget by the end of this week and once it is approved we will let you know :slight_smile:

Great initiative! Is there a specific store these projects will be minted on? I’ve been thinking about how and if it makes sense to include a % that returns to the respective DAO (thinking ala NxM here) from any sales generated by the the NFTs. It would be good to start thinking about how to become more self-sufficient as inevitably this funding will not last forever (at least that’s what I’ve been told!).

Heya :slight_smile:

Currently we are doing this, as the funding is provided through the muti DAO. Self-sustainability is on our list as well and we are considering adjusting the values so that the DAO eventually will become self-sustainable. But muti is open for collabs :slight_smile:

Funding is in, feel free to request the amount of 300 USD to kickstart your session. The remaining 300 USD will be paid out once the session has finished & the NFT has been minted in the muti mintbase store :slight_smile:
