GEIST: The world's first artist-owned music recording label.
(Customer-owned too)
Let's recap what we've accomplished so far:
In 2017, when I first learned about BitCoin, I began to wonder how it could be used to improve the music and recording industry. In 2019, I wrote a little article beginning to theorize on it:
Over the years my views developed and evolved. I started a youtube channel to interview prominent BitCoiners as well as other interesting people:
In 2022, we (@Skuwid and @shirish_sarkar) decided to start an experiment: release music from our favorite artists as NFT mixtapes on @relayxio.

We (so far) have released 5 incredible works of music, fully original works in different genres, by a team of worldwide artists. We packaged and delivered them as best as we could. We also created numerous singles and exclusives.

We started a youtube channel and soundcloud, where we released exclusive videos. We airdropped our customers free singles as NFTs. We rewarded our first 25 customers with a fully onchain 3D 'Thank You Badge', the first release of the GEIST CLUB.
We (@salonandcough) made a sick promotional video for the first 4 releases:
𝐆𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐭™ CLUB: 1.22.23 @____geist____
We sold about 120 tapes and gave away another 120. The average sale price was less than $1, with each release being on average 15mins of original music.
We then made a release on @TakeItNFT and sold that, airdropping our highest bidder a unique 1/1 3D onchain Cube.
As we've continued to put out content and material, our business has developed and our philosophy has evolved. Thanks to all your support and help, we are ready to move to the next phase of our grand little experiment.
On 1/22/23, with the launch of @relayxio club, we will debut our GEIST CLUB membership cards. Fully onchain, 3D modeled cards. For our first run, we will mint 100 copies at 0.5BSV.
Holding this card will grant access to:
1) all now and future airdrops of music and digital art
2) an amount of the GSTC token
3) a specialized profile picture NFT
All of this will be airdropped to our 100 club members.
We are committed to being the first to attempt a business structure that, if adopted by many independent labels, could change the relationship between artists and consumers forever. We will not stop until we achieve our goals.
