Drop features exclusive beat by Timbaland and marks TIMEPieces’ first foray in music NFTs
(April 7, 2022 – New York, NY) – TIMEPieces, the web3 community initiative from TIME, has named GRAMMY® award-winning producer, entrepreneur and tech CEO Timbaland as its second Artist in Residence. Through the collaboration, TIMEPieces will introduce its first music NFT collection, featuring an original beat by Timbaland interpreted into visual video art by 14 artists.
For TIMEPieces x Timbaland: The Beatclub Collection, TIMEPieces and Timbaland have recruited 14 artists to create unique videos inspired by and incorporating a beat supplied by Timbaland and his platform Beatclub. The participating artists for this collection, who were all selected to bring diverse perspectives to interpreting this single beat, include Arina Bart, Carlos Luna James, Danny Casale, Daria Klepikova, Ed Balloon, Gavin Meeler, Jasti, Jeremy Cowart, Jesus Martinez, Joanne Hollings, Mike Szpot, Parin Heidari, REO, and Yvette Hammond.
The exclusive, limited-edition collection will feature a total of 252 pieces, and will drop at the end of April at nft.time.com for 0.2ETH plus gas. Each minted NFT will include a surprise pack of ten sounds from Beatclub, Timbaland’s online global marketplace for music makers.
All NFT holders will have the opportunity to participate in a contest to create their own beat using sounds from the Beatclub custom soundpack. The winner will receive a merch pack and a membership to Beatclub, including access to exclusive placement opportunities with the world’s leading artists and brands.
“I am excited to collaborate with TIMEPieces and so many distinct visual artists to bring more exposure to the power of creativity with music in NFTs, and to include Beatclub in the process….
