Hey @ted.iv and the Muti community,
first of all - thanks a lot for this opportunity. Regarding of the NFT, i´m down with that - for the muti store - for sure. But the thing is, its just a recording session not the final song. That means it also has to be mixed and mastered. But when the songs mixed and mastere - I´m more than down for the NFT.
That you split it in 2 half, for me that is totally fine. Still - thanks for the opportunity
Sounds good for you guys ?
@RioCarroll thanks for the reply!
Ok, sounds good. As for the mixing and mastering, that’s no problem. There is no rush, once the timeline is clear on it.
The split in the muti store will be as it always is, 75% to the artist, 25% to muti
consider this approved for the December budget. We will let you know when you can draw down the funds via our astrodao!
Maree Lawn is creating a 4 track ‘homecoming’ EP and is seeking funding for the period of February 2022, to support the creation process, cost of photo shoot and design for the album cover and costs of mixing/mastering of the works.
The album will be a culmination of 5 years in Portugal, plus a 6 month tour around New Zealand, a returning home after many years away. An insight into the internal life and trip around her home country.
Requirements:
links to your music/portfolio:
After finishing a jazz degree in Wellington, Feilding born Shannon Lawn took off on an epic adventure around the world, a quest that has so far lasted over 9 years.
She has discovered worlds within worlds of sound, across musical traditions such as Cambodian folk music, bulgarian vocal folk, experimental electronic music production, chanting, jazz, experimental pop, hiphop, spoken word poetry, appalachian folk and more and has experienced sound with artists such as Bob Rakalam Moses, Georgia-Anne Muldrow, Mined Music, Inquérito, :Papercutz and more.
Her solo project, Maree Lawn, is an autobiographical sound exploration into her inner world, reminiscent of various music’s such as triphop, neo soul, jazz, dark experimental electrónica, coloured by her vocal expression which ranges from sweet and delicate to dark and ferocious.

Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope you’ll consider my work worthy of support and funding. Big love from NZ!
Please let me know if any of this needs reworking! I hope it is sufficient
Thanks for the proposal. It’s looking great so far.
We’re still working through our budget for January and getting all of this sorted but this proposal is on the todo list for the muti council to chat through… In the meantime, here are a few small request:
could Tom Cosm be onboarded and paid in NEAR as part of this proposal?
With many of the muti recs so far we’ve made some sort of NFT for the muti mintbase store to represent the project. It can be super simple or the full release… up to you really! would this be possible to add in to the project?
@sterryo all files received and we will mint via the muti store in the coming days.
In the meantime you can go ahead and request the second part of the funding 300 DAI through our astrodao here.. At the time of the budget we converted the NEAR to DAI to keep it in the ecosystem but hold it’s value to pay out the artists.
Hey @Mareelawn
thanks for the patience. After our meeting, we’ve agreed that we can fund this project in two equal parts over the course of January and February (ie. 350 this month and 350 next month). If this is ok with you, we’re happy to finalise it in our budget for the month.
Thanks
I would love to take this opportunity in February to release a 4 track EP in March.
Project name - umhume
Funding period - February 2022

About me:
“Umhume” means cave, the place where I live.
Music composer/producer based in Portugal, been DJing in underground rave parties under this alter-ego for over 5 years and now is the time to release original productions that have been slowly fermenting in the depths of my mind.
For this first release, the focus will be the “4 to the floor” structure, creating an eclectic mix of hypnotic dancefloor focused tunes, whether in downtempo or upper BPMs, bright or dark themes, expect groove.
A collection of NFTs will be created to pair with the songs, although given the limitations upon minting, a shorter version of the songs will be used.
Artwork and Mastering are still to be confirmed, nevertheless, the invited artist and engineer will be onboarded within the ecosystem, in case they are not part of it already.
My proposed budget is flexible and in case there are more proposals for muti.rec, I suggest to split the funding in:
300 USD - February
150 USD - March
Looking forward to see this coming to life and support muti collective, let me know if i need to adjust anything here!
Much love
@Mareelawn , it doesn’t seem to be there in the astrodao.
When requesting DAI on astrodao, sometimes you need to allow for popups in your browser for the transaction to be accepted by your wallet. You can message me on telegram if you need any help with this.
@achoNacho same for you, just let me know if you need assistance!
