The four hooves in the web3. Having become one of the figureheads of Decentraland, the 3D world where he now has his own concert hall (a saloon, of course), DJ Bufalo slips a new ball into his virtual barrel: a collection of NFTs. Of the buffalo skulls (obviously, bis), published in 1,000 copies, and put on sale the equivalent of sixty euros on March 28. “Each skull has six distinct features, drawn by the artist Pierre Pocherot ; and a seventh, musical. “The musician with the horned mask composed 10 pieces, in the style that has become his trademark, the futuristic western, but thought of as so many homages to musical currents: from rap to dubstep, via trap…” The more tracks, excerpts or effects there are in a piece, in short, the more complex it is, the rarer it is, ”sums up the interested party. And the more $bufa it will bring to its owner each week.
“The Sacem was very enthusiastic”
This cattle currency will be exchangeable for gifts. Starting with exclusive pieces. The beat maker has indeed approached the Sacem to offer a new title every two weeks, available in around ten copies, which holders can use as they see fit. The important thing is not to part with it: “As the credits of a show (as is the case on our live twitch 20 Mints Squared), or mixed with other snippets, as you wish, as long as you keep the NFT in your digital wallet”, specifies Bufalo, who did not expect to obtain the approval of the copyright management company. “They were very enthusiastic and understood what the blockchain had to offer in terms of traceability. Between the monitoring they do, via metadata, and what web3 allows, the collection and distribution of rights will only be more efficient and rigorous. »
By thus protecting his music, those who love it and wish to exploit or distribute it, Bufalo inaugurates in a way a first step to put the community at the center of his work. A way of saying to “the one who [le] makes you live”, “you are part of the adventure with me”. As proof, half of the 1,000 NFTs are already set aside for all those who have purchased or won one of Bufalo’s previous web3 creations.
Content, accessories and concerts
The DJ has other surprises in store for his most loyal listeners. Like music production tutorials, country or line dancingwearables (cosmetic accessories to dress up your avatar) to wear in Decentraland… and especially in the Bufalo saloon, which will soon have its VIP area. For the time being, the pixel walls of the building vibrate less under the force of the works than concerts which are in full swing until the end of the month.
