Glitch Candies is a genesis project launched by Glitch NFT Studio on Stargaze. It is the first hand made generative collection of evolving sculptures created using sound synthesis and GLSL shaders minted on Cosmos ecosystem.
Noise shapes the colour, texture and sound. Each candy is unique and has utility beyond 4k resolution print-ready artwork and HD video.
Glitch Candies collections embrace the intricacies of code, error and seeks beauty in human interaction with blockchain technology.
Glitch Candies: Synthesis is a genesis collection launching on Teritori Network we have partnered with. It is focused on the relationship between movement and light, frequency and colour, predictability, uncertainty and illusion. Each piece is a 2560 x 2560 still image generated using real time physical movements, custom made algorithms and software tools created by Glitch NFT Studio. The collection is opening audio visual journey, that the audience and collectors will be part of. Each piece also unlocks access to multiple digital items, realms, games and immersive experiences. Collaborating with the Teritori Network core team and Teritori DAO Glitch NFT Studio aims to enrich and widen the Teritori Ecosystem.
Each Glitch Candy from the Synthesis collection has 9 traits and each is based around basic 3D shapes such as cube, torus or sphere of varied rarities. Holders of multiple NFTs are going to receive an equal amount of AV edition pieces of 3 rarities. The AV works will be randomly distributed to the holders. The higher amount of Glitch Candies Synthesis held = higher probability of receiving rare AV candy and wearable used in the game.
Glitch Candies are based on simple geometric shapes that are being modified by noise and sound synthesis. They inform aesthetic choises of audio used.
Each piece can be recalled in custom made software via JSON file consisting its traits. This way each Genesis artwork will have its audiovisual sculpture companion of the same rarity and traits.
Eye candy colors are used in these works to accent beauty in noisy and glitchy forms or art.
Depth, colour and texture of Glitch Candies are affected by especially made GLSL shaders. These short pieces of code are inspired by FedFod`s work in this area.
Glitch Candies Genesis collection is a collection of images, however holder of each one of them will receive an airdrop of handmade generative audiovisual sculpture.
Audio created in these works was generated using hardware machines and modular synthesisers controlled by voltage. This approach provides flexibility and high quality of sound. Creation of hardware physical setups provide unique sound design and evolving compositions that were specifically designed for this project.
Glitch Candies are about abstract generative art and having fun with tech and blockchain. We are engaging collectors, NFT communities and are excited about metaverse and what it has to offer. Exploring Decentraland, creating events, audiovisual experiences and mini games we are linking communities via generative art.
Glitch Candies AV and Gen2 collection are all audiovisual hand sculpted pieces and rendered real-time like mini VJ sets. Both collections contain audio traits specifically composed for user interaction. Some match, some create generative ambient pieces some glitch out. Genesis and Synthesis collection are hand sculpted 4k resolution still images that bring access to metaverse experiences, wearables and NFT airdrops.
Our long term vision is to establish ourselves as a high quality NFT studio across multiple metaverse projects and ecosystems. Holders of our NFTs are taken for a journey and benefit along the way as we grow. To achieve our goal we have set up Glitch NFT Studio to support web3 projects and web2 brands entering this space. As the first step we are building scenes in Decentraland and launching NFT collections. Creating exciting experiences, games, artworks and events we are elevating brands and collaborate with multiple web3 projects.
Glitch Candies are created with experimentation in mind. Gasless and inexpensive transactions on Stargaze and Teritori chain allow flexibility. The aim of the project is to:
Here is video showcasing sculpting and variety of shapes that can be made in the process.
First few rendered Candies. Audiovisual by design.
Here is how sound design process looks and sounds like.
Generation 2 of Evolving Audiovisual Sculptures
Complex Glitch Candies, based on generative 3D models, feedback patches and advanced shaders. Ultra limited series with additional perks and also License: CC0.
Collection of print ready images
Raw images coming straight from the graphic card are in print-ready 4k resolution. Holders of Genesis Collection will be considered OG supporters of the project.
Audiovisual Evolving Sculptures
Audiovisual collection of evolving sculptures rendered real-time. Embracing the intricacies of code, glitch and error it is seeking beauty in human interaction with technology. LIC: CC0.
Limited edition wearable and 3D modelled Glitch Candy airdrops as well as entrance to limited access areas in metaverse experiences.
Genesis holders received Audiovisual Glitch Candy as an airdrop once collection is launched, as well as voting rights to influence the future of the project. Hodlers receive all perks from GC AV collection.
AV Candies were distributed randomly. Collect sets of all audio traits or Genesis Candy / AV Candy sets for future airdrops. Hodl for future rewards and metaverse experiences.
