Motherland

Motherland is a 43 minute film offering a set of meditative, instrumental tone-poems exploring belonging and identity through my Japanese ancestry and roots. Combined with footage shot in Kaga, Japan, we start from the train ride into Kaga, and then on to an immersive journey of soundtracked sights following outdoor pathways to temples, rivers and lakes, accompanied by the sounds of nature and the eight compositions.

The winning bidder for this super-NFT receives the film NFT plus:

  • 5% royalty share on all eight 1-of-1 Motherland single-audio NFTs
  • 2% royalty share on the 50-edition Motherland mixtape audio NFTs
  • exclusive number 1 (of 4) signed, hand-pressed translucent Motherland vinyl
  • WAV files of the eight pieces included in the film

All bidders on this auction will also be raffled to win the number 2 (of 4) hand-pressed translucent Motherland vinyl. To be part of the raffle, make your bid then tweet this NFT while the auction is live, tagging @MdCL. Every bid you make counts as an additional raffle entry.
