Behind the Mic
Hey guys. Welcome. You’re on the clock. This is Huddle01. This is session two. A deep dive on discourse. This is way more brainstormy. I had a bit of thoughts, but we have a special guest in the building. Fievel is here, and I’m super excited for that. So I want to see some emojis or some 100s or something. But while we wait for Fievel to unmute, hey Fievel, how are you? Can you hear us? Oh my god. Oh my god. Queen, how are you? All right, all right, all right. Oh my god. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, welcome, welcome, welcome. So, yeah, I’m excited for this. This is super exciting. Do you want to introduce yourself to the Huddle? Uh, hi guys. Um, my name is Fievel, Fie for short. Um, I am. Uh, yeah, right. I am primarily an artist. I am a, uh, techno rebel. Um, but yeah, no, I, I just, I’m mostly known for music. Um, but yeah, it’s something that I ;’ve always loved and enjoyed. Um, and yeah, no, I’m just, yeah. I’m an alien from outer space, so. Um, no, I’m kidding. Um, I somehow, someway ended up being, um, on this decentralized network as well, so yeah. Yeah, cool. Yeah, definitely. No, no, no cap on that. No cap on that. Sounds about right, uh. Fie, it’s great to have you here. So since you’re in the building, yeah, let’s get into it. Like, um, let’s start with some kind of general history. Why did you get into this space? What’s your, what’s your journey been like? Let’s, let’s share a bit of that with the guys here. Yeah, um, thanks for the question. So I’ll say, uh, I initially got into this space because, okay, all right, let me be more specific. When I first encountered Ethereum. And I will definitely say this. I saw I’m very active on Twitter and stuff, and I follow like a lot of OG, um, people specifically in the NFT space. And when I first encountered it, I will always say this, I was acting like it was stupid. I was very much like, oh my God, this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. What even is this? They’re just drawing pictures on the internet. I was acting like, because I’m on Twitter all day. So I, I’m like, oh, this is going to be a detriment to my mental health because like, it’s just noise. But eventually I started lurking a little bit more. And then I started working with CAWS, well, not working with CAWS, but following CAWS. And he’s kind of like a friend and mentor because I realized that he could help me understand because I realized it was doing something different than I was doing. And I was like, okay, so CAWS is doing open editions. And it’s not that CAWS is just like a big artist, but he was doing something like that was really fascinating. And that’s why Open Editions became such a big thing in the NFT space. So I think when I first started seeing certain things happen on the Tezos blockchain, for example, and seeing smaller artists be able to just get a bit more notoriety and be able to do something a bit outside of the canvas industry and even like people who are doing art installations and stuff like that, not just digital art but people doing art installations. So then I figured out ways to make music for that. It’s very interesting because having an artistic background from physical contributions allowed me to understand my space in this certain neighborhood and digital. So that was what interested me initially. And then Holden Caulfield, who is very close to me, and my whole rebel family pretty much I did a mixtape with them. And they told me about Mirror. And once I learned about Mirror.xyz, I was like, oh, this is it for me. I can just go on Mirror, write my posts, and it’s decentralized. So that’s when the concept of decentralization started making sense to me. It was a real, like, you could take posts down, but this is up forever and you could just write these beautiful approach pieces. And immediately you’re exposed to other communities in the crypto space and yeah, to answer your question long-winded, that was really, I think, the first instance of the light bulb in my mind coming on. And yeah. Really eye-opening. Now let’s talk about community. Because you mentioned it a few times, so I’d love to know from your perspective, what role does the community play, and how can people leverage and build in this space? And how can we make it more inclusive? What does that look like? So in my experience, going directly off the back of Mirror Day, I think the community part was so interesting because for me it felt like, all right, if I was an artist, all right, and I’m already in a small collective with people who I identify or relate to, especially in New York, I think, for me it just became one of those things where it felt like I was in a; I’m going to compare it to an IRL thing. It felt like a microcosm of what I already was doing in a physical sense, in the ‘hood ;neighborhood in the industry where you can meet smaller scientists and creators and whatever. It was one of those things where I was like, all right, if I just create, let’s say I just write a post or I just put a song out, it’s not just going to be seen by my friends on the block, it’s not just going to be seen by people in New York city. If I just write this post, it’s actually going to reach a bunch of people all over the world. So for me, it was like, eventually what sold it for me about the community thing was the fact that when I finally started getting outreach from other parts of the world, and I felt like I wasn’t alone, that was what impressed me about it. And that’s also what intrigued me. And I think that’s what a lot of people tend to feel. And I think the part that was the most inclusive to me later on, especially when I finally realized it’s about inclusivity, was there was this sense of people or I.D. names or something and faces you don’t necessarily know. And it felt like you were talking to a group of people who actually envisioned something completely different. Like in Aesthetica, we already did a panel conversation prior to this. So one thing we talked about was like, the community part was very important to me, the inclusivity part, because that’s something we were able to touch on because it feels super important because of having the same shared experience literally with strangers from across the world, I think is what very much intrigued me. Yeah, yeah. No, definitely. Honestly, Fie. That’s exciting. And, uh, it’s, it’s, it’s just, it’s just, uh, encouraging to hear your take on this because a lot of people get into spaces and we’ve covered environments before on the clock and they just never go down this direction. They just keep it so one track road. But there’s a lot of aspects to this. Like, um, my next question to you is like, do you feel that the concept affects your creativity? And if yes, how so? That would be fascinating to discover. Oh, definitely. I think the conceptualism in order to make it in the space… Uh, how do I put this? Okay, let me simplify it. I think the concept itself is what makes the NFT movement still a movement. And I think in an art, in an artistic sense, right, if I think of all the people that I respect in the space right now, uh, let me give some examples. Like Emily loves Ryan Laura. I respect Gwenway. Like, there’s a few people I just love in the space. And I deeply have reverence for because they’re just revolutionizing this in their own human rights. And while I love working with humans, I will always have this deep reverence for the crypto artists who are people-specific or just artists in general. And I think when it comes to conceptualism right now, that’s what is kind of the embodiment of decentralization if that makes sense. People are able to tap into it and just feel so aligned. I think that’s the deep power of it. Because here’s the thing, right? If we’re going to go in a completely different direction in regards to music, right? If I just said, all right, cool, like, if we were talking about, let’s say NFTs hadn’t happened, right? NFTs never existed. And I’m just talking to a musician or someone who admires music. They’re going to feel like the same old things that have always existed. Correct? But because we’re on a space like this where a specific conceptualism can push the NFT boundaries, it’s not just the fine art aspect of it, it’s also the idea that when you do something like a Mirror article and it becomes a bit more futuristic in the sense and people can literally own shares and stocks or something that the artist owns. This ecosystem helps create a new culture in the fine arts industry, which is super interesting to me because it’s almost like it’s futuristic. Maybe I’m geeking out, I’m geeking out. Keep going, you’re doing great. It’s so fucking futuristic, but it feels like it’s our thing. It’s not in a dystopian way, it’s not in the dystopian sense, it’s the complete opposite. And I think holding that space and realizing it and manifesting that within the conceptualism is essentially what’s so fascinating. It’s one of those things where the concept, in quotations, the ethos of the NFT space currently in a sense, to me at least, is what used to be an art media, but the fact that the ethos of an NFT can push the boundaries of being super digital. Do you know what I’m saying? It’s super crazy. It’s super abstract. This is so insightful, honestly. The idea of owning shares in an artist’s work and the way you’re bringing in contemporary and futuristic concepts, it ties into decentralization so perfectly. But this conversation has been amazing so far. So let’s cap it with this last question. For someone new entering this space, what advice would you give them to find their lane and build their community? Yeah, yeah. I think the best advice I could give, honestly, is to be fearless and be authentic. And that sounds super cliche, but let me break it down. Being authentic and fearless means don’t just copy what everyone else is doing. Find your voice, find your unique perspective, and don’t be afraid to share that. It’s easier said than done, especially with all the noise and all the amazing, sometimes overwhelming content out there. But remember, your story, your voice matters, and there’s a place for it in this space. Second, be curious. Don’t be scared to ask questions and learn. There’s so much to absorb, and the community is generally welcoming to newcomers. So dive in, engage, ask questions, and don’t feel like you must know everything from day one. Nobody does. Lastly, patience and perseverance. Like with any community or new venture, it takes time to find your rhythm, to find your place. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t happen overnight. Stay persistent. Keep networking, keep creating, keep pushing, and things will eventually click. That’s, that’s really it. Be authentic, be curious, be patient, and you’ll find your way. That’s amazing, Fie. Thank you so much for sharing such an enlightening journey and your wisdom with us today. Really appreciate your time here. And to everyone listening, thanks for joining. We’ll be back with more insightful sessions in the next huddle. Till then, stay curious, stay creative, and stay decentralized. Bye everyone. Take care and keep innovating. Bye. Bye. I think it’s super. It’s super interesting in that sense. And for me, when I first opened the app, it was. It was such a beautiful thing to see because I already knew it wasn’t. In a sense, I knew I could utilize it, but I knew it wasn’t for me when I saw it, I knew it was for so many of my friends. There were. I was like, okay, this is for. You, you, you. I knew it wasn’t for me, and I knew exactly who would actually fit in that sphere. And. And that’s what I loved. And honestly, even having. I just performed at far Con in Los Angeles and it was, which was a forecaster event, and it was. It was unbelievable because everybody was there for that. You could see that it was the same thing IRL. Everybody had different. Every group that you would talk to, for example, I obviously smoke a shit ton of cigarettes. So I was literally just like, hanging out with a million people and I was just smoking cigarettes. And it was like, man, everybody was not okay with that, obviously. Especially the tech side, because the guys on the tech side were like, super health-conscious. I was like, man, how are you, how are you walking 10 miles to, to a thing smoking cigs? And I was like, oh, okay, this, this, this is interesting, but, and then it was just so funny. It was unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. But it was also really interesting because the groups were very heterogeneous. Yes. And I love that about it because you couldn’t have a more diverse group of people. And that’s what, like, at the end of the day for all the things that people say about decentralization and blockchain and crypto, we’re actually bringing people together. Whether you believe in it or not, people are mingling, sharing ideas, sharing experiences, and that’s where the magic happens. Absolutely. It’s one of those things where you just feel like, okay, this is actually connecting people in ways that other traditional forms of social media or art couldn’t. That’s like the amazing part about all of this. So true. And, you know, it’s so funny because when you get into the conversations, you sometimes forget you’re in a Web 3.0 space. You just feel like you’re connecting on a human level. And that’s, that’s the beauty of it. Everyone’s there for the right reasons and the same reasons. And it’s super powerful. Absolutely. I loved it. I think it’s one of the coolest things I’ve experienced in recent times. And yeah. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. But now let’s move a bit towards the future. What do you think the next big trend in this space will be? And how do you see yourself fitting into that? That’s an excellent question. Yeah. And I think the future holds a lot, but okay, let me, let me distill it down to what I think is going to be the biggest trend. I feel like we;re moving towards a more immersive experience. Okay. We’re already seeing that with AR and VR, but I think we’re going to see even more convergence of reality and digital spaces. Things like virtual galleries and concerts where you can not only attend but actually interact with the environment and other attendees in more meaningful ways. It’s going to be less about just observing and more about becoming part of the experience. Another trend I see emerging is the concept of digital scarcity being taken to new levels. Right now, we’re seeing it with collectibles and NFTs, but I think the next step is integrating that concept with more tangible assets. Imagine owning a digital twin of a physical painting or sculpture where both hold equal value and are equally cherished. This creates a whole new layer of value and interaction between the physical and digital. As for me fitting into this, I’m already exploring ways to blend my music and art into these new immersive environments. Collaborating with tech developers to create interactive experiences where my music isn’t just heard but felt and experienced in an entirely new way. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what an NFT can be and how it can be experienced. And I think we’re just at the cusp of that. That’s so fascinating. It’s true. The convergence of reality and digital spaces is something that’s been talked about, but seeing it in action and being part of it is a whole different experience. And your approach to blending music and art into these environments sounds like it’s going to be incredible. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Thank you. I’m excited too. It feels like we’re on the brink of something really revolutionary. And being able to contribute to that is super fulfilling. And it’s conversations like this that really get me energized and inspired to keep pushing forward. So thanks for having me. Absolutely. It’s been such a pleasure having you. And thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with us. I learned a lot and I’m sure everyone listening did too. So, big thanks to Fie for joining us today. And to everyone tuning in, stay curious, stay experimental and keep pushing the boundaries. Until next time, this is Huddle01 signing off. Bye. Bye everyone. Bye. Bye. Yeah, so thank you so much. I, I’m a fan of this discussion and will most likely continue it another day, especially in, in a time where we basically need to raise our voice in terms of the whole thing that goes on between the slavery on external, other social media apps, basically. But I have to say for today, we shall cut it right here. I have to thank everybody who listened, who joined the space, who had a wonderful time with us. Thank you so much for investing your precious time. I really have to say we’re excited to see you here again every weekday at 12:00 p.m. CET or 06:00 a.m. ET. And until the next one, I have to say, take great care of yourselves. But until then, much love and ciao. Ciao. Bye.
