Chainlink x Synthopia Integration
Synthopia is using Chainlink VRF as a transparent random number generator (RNG) solution to generate 9,639 randomized NFT audio tracks derived from a single genesis song.
Synthopia is a fully generative NFT music project created in collaboration with Gramatik, Luxas, and Audioglyphs.
Using the Audioglyph DAW, Gramatik and Luxas produced a song called Synthopia Prime, which acts as the genesis track for all of the generative NFTs that follow. A first of its kind, Audioglyphs’ DAW is a digital version of a modular synthesizer that works inside any modern browser such as Chrome or Firefox. It uses low-level browser APIs to synthesize music directly in the browser at lossless audio quality.
Each node that makes up each stem in the genesis song has parameters that can be either completely randomized, or randomized within a set range. For Synthopia, the parameter ranges have been determined using music theory in order to eliminate the possibility of merging the song stems in an unpleasantly dissonant way. They were able to create essentially an infinite number of variations from the genesis song with really fascinating results.
As the final step of the project creation process, they use Chainlink VRF to generate a random number on the blockchain which enables us to create a truly random seed for each NFT in a trustless manner. This seed is then used to randomize the parameters of the audio track to create a unique song. Remarkably, this entire process happens directly in a listener’s browser. This is important for local generation to be practical, because it provides cross platform audio libraries and its sandbox resolves the security issues that would be present with running untrusted native code to generate audio.
About Synthopia
Synthopia is a fully generative NFT music project created in collaboration with Gramatik, Luxas, and Audioglyphs. Synthopia is built using the Audioglyph digital audio workstation (DAW), a groundbreaking new tool enabling the creation and playback of generative music directly in a web browser at lossless quality — a new music format made for the Metaverse.
