THE ARTIFACT
A one-of-one human-generated musical work, intentionally released.
Created and performed in real time, directly from mind to instrument. Not trained. Not sampled. Not derived. There is no preview because the work does not yet exist.
This artifact exists at a moment when machines can generate infinite music — but cannot originate a single lived moment.
In a world increasingly shaped by autonomous systems, this is a record of human agency expressed once and never repeated.
Most works are never shared.
This one is.
How ownership is determined

When total contributions reach $1,000,000 USD equivalent, the single contributing address with the largest cumulative contribution at that moment becomes the Owner.
Ownership is verified cryptographically via message signing.
What the owner receives
The unreleased musical artifact, performance audio and video, and a signed transfer of rights. The Owner may retain the work permanently or offer it for private negotiation or resale.
What is known
