Welcome to our world of music making. You probably landed here after caming across one
of our production
or being told about our existance via a friend, artist, familly or by yourself through dedication.
Anyhow, we're pleased to see you here and wish you a good visit.
Crossing our path is never meaningless for you as for us, let's think about it for a
minute.
What is geniuscorp ?
A music production environment designed to produce the finest frequencies out of the
rawests life's creative materials.
Our unique experience lead us toward a totally disruptive business landscape with a
complete vision about
the full process of birthing ideas to music.
So what's on the website ?
You'll find here the streaming links catalog of (almost) every music project we helped
birthing since 2010. Keep in mind we ain't no label first, we provide alternatives solutions in order to
let artists be as free of choice as they want to, but ultimatly our passion will ever remain around
creation of unique music and opportunities on whatever level needed down the production line.
What about music genres ?
They tend to disrupt themselves each time a new human comes into life. We feel pleased
to adapt to every genres, as long as
the emotion that comes out of it feels true, good, authentic, then somehow aeonian.
Music incessantly captures and encodes every inch of our lives.
Thanks to musical notation, recordings, and the most current understanding of our history and the human brain, we can examine the underlying nature of our past, present, and future through the messages encoded in each musical composition to reveal our collective subconscious throughout the decades.
In the era of using physical mediums to capture music like sheets, phonograms, K7, CDs, vinyl, etc., these material pieces could deteriorate over time if not preserved carefully. Not valid in the digital era.
The internet offers music preservation a whole new life.
Peer-2-Peer software like Napster, eMule, Kazaa, and Limewire once delivered unlimited copies of music files worldwide for free, threatening an industry that had always based its revenues on limited physical copies.
Since then, the solutions to counter this massive leak of music online went from trying to sell downloadable files (iTunes) to, years later, the more widely adopted model of selling monthly access to read-only files (Spotify) - all combined with more or less effective policies to track and take down pirating. But none of these attempts solved the leak.
What is missing?
Physical mediums for music are scarce and serialized by nature which has always been one of the factors in driving more value. On the other hand, all files are identical and easy to copy without limits in the digital world.
Still, no solution seemed solid enough to fix the digital scarcity problem. At the same time, sales of physical mediums were dropping because of the pressure mp3s put on the market. All combined, it drove the value of music down to its lowest point in history; meanwhile, music has never traveled so fast.
What is the price of an asset that has an infinite supply?
Apple led by pricing a song at $0.99. Thanks to the success of the iPod (marketed toward less tech-savvy people unfamiliar with how to download music illegally), people became accustomed to buying copies of the same file for pennies.
As the world became comfortable with scarcity not being a part of the music industry anymore, we collectively decided not to bother with owning a downloadable file. Instead, we decided to pay for access to streaming.
The music industry spent millions tracking illegal sources to give birth to services like Spotify ultimately. Effectively putting the entire world catalog behind a paywall and deciding the price of a stream should be around $0.005 in a system where algorithms benefit the top 10 most streamed artists—a far cry from the boom of CD sales.
The streaming era has organized itself via platform gatekeepers allowing artists who respect the platform’s guidelines to upload their music while censoring others. It becomes problematic when this vehicle represents the last and only way artists have to monetize and get their music heard by large audiences.
Streaming has failed artists, and the next version of how we consume and distribute music needs to be built from the ground up with fairness, scarcity, and transparency in mind.
ENTER CRYPTO MUSIC
The term 'crypto music' comes from associating the latest fruits of cryptographic technology, blockchains, and the idea of distributing music with it.
But why associate music and blockchain technology? Because it offers a global trust layer and the tools necessary for a new era of music to begin.
This new era of music includes the serialization of digital files, transparent traceability of digital files, instant payment with no need for middlemen, complete automation of all administrative processes (including copyright protection), permissionless features, and resistance to censorship.
Thanks to blockchain technology, music can now be safely traded peer-to-peer, collected as a unique token, and resold on secondary markets. In other words, the complete set for any actor in music to thrive online while capturing total value and having easy control over their work without anyone potentially interfering in the process.
THE EXHIBITION
Exhibition MAP
The CRYPTO MUSIC HISTORY (2008 - 2022) Exhibition explores the crypto music movement in a ludic way, its history from the early days as a disruptive and ongoing revolution within the music industry, its sound, visuals, and philosophy as a music scene, its communities, and its marketing.
Curated and designed by Mighty33 and geniuscorp, the exhibition is a unique display and form of expression dedicated to and based upon the work of the entire crypto music community. It is designed for anyone who may or may not be familiar with but is interested in the underground story of crypto music.
From the point of origin, the exhibition follows a circuit going through different rooms organized chronologically from 2008 to 2022. The experience is staged as a language on its own with multiple layers of interpretation, a neuronal network of digital hieroglyphs ready to be deciphered one by one, opening all kinds of doors towards the deeper layers of the story.
The exhibition exists inside the virtual world of Voxels (formerly CryptoVoxels) at the geniuscorp record shop (104 Ceres, Ceres Island).
The choice to build inside Voxels for the first iteration of this initiative is symbolic and grounded in the exhibit’s mindset. Voxels helped the pioneers connect and experiment during a time of global lockdowns in a place designed for them to create and expand their collective imagination.
Special mentions go out to DiGiTAL, Studio Nouveau, MAi, Rare Scrilla, Vandal, Robness, George Howard, NFT42, MVMF, Future Modern, Jokreg, Xedra (aka Zpl1t), and all the pioneers featured in the exhibition, without whom any of this wouldn’t have been possible.

LISTINGS AND RESOURCES
Documents that helped make this exhibition possible:
THE KiTCHEN is a live-stream series where head chefs @Mighty_33 and @DLROWiAM compose music in real-time during a 6-hour live stream and mint the final track & cover created during the show as an NFT at the end. The series showcases the process of music creation for educational purposes and explores the challenges and limitations of making music online.
How is THE KiTCHEN structured?
THE KiTCHEN goes by seasons, with each season consisting of 7 episodes. During each episode, the composers, also known as the "head chefs," cook up flavorful music tracks called "dishes." At the end of each show, the dish is named, and cover art is created using text-to-image artificial intelligence.
What is the significance of tokenizing the music and artwork?
The music, name, and cover art of each dish are tokenized into an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) at the end of the show. This makes the creation immutable, uneditable, and serves as a demonstration of the value of letting go as a musician.
How can I participate in THE KiTCHEN?
You can tune in to the live streams on @koopxyz and witness the music creation process. At the end of each stream, you have the opportunity to mint an NFT for yourself by connecting your wallet, paying Ethereum gas fees, and creating the episode's token until the next week.
What happens if I miss the live stream or minting period?
No worries! You can watch the replays of each show. At the end of each season, minting pages for all the season's dishes are reopened for a limited time. If you still miss out on minting, you can collect dishes on the secondary market.
Are there any rewards or perks for collectors?
Yes! Collectors who own a $CHEF token can access gated pages to download multitracks of the dishes, granting them the right to remix the tracks and use them for commercial purposes. They can also join a private Telegram channel to chat with the creators of the show.
How can I stay updated on THE KiTCHEN news and announcements?
Keep an eye on our social media channels, such as Twitter, where we share updates, news, and announcements related to THE KiTCHEN.
