SPRING NEWS:

Following Soisong's strategy for making musical adventures both difficult and special, the day of Vernal Equinox 2023 [Monday March 20th] launches a new COH album, titled SOL. Unlike with most other publications, the release will extend in time like a series: every three months, a new piece for the album will be published digitally on the days of specific astronomical events:

Vernal Equinox - 20.03.2023 22:24 CET
Summer Solstice - 21.06.2023 16:57 CET
Autumnal Equinox - 23.09.2023 8:49 CET
Winter Solstice - 22.12.2023 4:27 CET

Despite references to the nearest bright star, SOL is a fairly sombre meditative contemplation on the Sun's dark spots, the areas of substantially increased levels of magnetic activity. In poetic terms, sunspots can be seen as symbolising the invisible, hidden power of the dark. The sound imagery of the album leans towards the aesthetics of far-distance telescope observations and interstellar signal travel, oscillating somewhere between MUSIC VOL and Soisong Broadcasts.

    ><  format:
In attempt to avoid the collapsing banking system of the old world, the release is crowdfunded with help of Solana blockchain. The music tracks are going to be published/dropped as Solana NFTs [pardon the modern vocabulary], each drop limited to 44 copies. In January 2024, a hand-made CD edition correspondingly limited to 44 copies will ship at no cost to the owners of all four digital tracks.The NFT outlet is kindly provided by a group of music enthusiasts from NYC running what can be called a "blockchain record label" at: https://ninaprotocol.com

    ><  how to participate:
Connect to the Nina Protocol website with a Solana crypto wallet, for example Phantom Wallet [http://phantom.app]. Phantom browser plug-in is quick to set up, and once topped up with SOL currency, the online shopping is akin to PayPal. Shipping address will need to be provided during the first purchase.

    ><  pricing:
0.555 SOL per track [between 10-11 euros at the current rate], with the resulting album price of 40-44 euro, including shipping of the CD in the end of the digital adventure.

Wishing courage and luck to those interested and ready to support.
555
IO SOL! IO SOL!
