Thank you. but that's what just happened and thank you guys for tuning back in at least it was towards the
end of the space and we just want to make sure to give titito a proper outro to be able to finish up the conversation that we were just having
and do the outro songs.
Thank you guys so much for understanding and trickling back in here.
We're going to get everybody up on the stage
and finish up this space like nothing ever happened.
Welcome back up to the stage, T thank you for coming back no worries man and I think if we can get hash back up here just to kind of finish out that part of what was going on our conversation
thank you for coming back up hash for Glyn trick Glyn trick Gintrick glint um yeah i was just just i think probably when i
was getting caught up um shouting out that tito has done the art for the achievement badges we
have in our app for like there's different if you post the message on the community board you get
the first level of that achievement and different layers for each one so it's really cool seeing his
art in there um and that's kind of one of the reasons i originally originally reached out to him and then because i just love his visual art and then i
discovered so much more of his music from talking and then i'm joining tez tones so it's been a
really cool journey myself and me like putting together like wait you mech and you both have
is it the same studio like it's been a slow jigsaw puzzle of realizing the extremely layered.
I feel like I said this in the last match,
I believe,
or I'm not sure when I said it,
but something I really like about Tito's art in general is it,
it's like very simple looking at first.
It's like kind of,
a simple illustrations look,
and even the music's kind of simple in the sense that it's just like guitar
and vocals,
but there's like a very high level, at least in my opinion, of depth to it,
where the images and the feelings and all that it invokes.
So it's a really interesting dichotomy of simplicity and depth and complexity.
There's a word for that, and I'm wondering if Tito actually knows this word.
Shibui? I believe it's Japanese.
Interesting. I don it's Japanese. Interesting.
I don't know that.
The word is Shibui.
I love it. It's a fun word to say.
And essentially it is what you just described.
When you see something and at first it seems
one layered
and then you look and it continues
revealing more. And vice versa.
If you look and see something seems complex,
but it also ends up being pretty simple.
Love the word Shibui.
That's pretty much all I was going to say was end on that point.
Well, thank you.
And I definitely agree.
And I think it can be said that's one of the reasons I picked the upside down heart piece that we're using for the test tones icon in the app. That was a great choice.
That's also what we picked in the gem thread because it's a good example of that where at first it seems like a simple illustration, but there's an entire audio visual experience to be had behind it.
With that being said,
thank you guys so much for hopping back in the room after such a hard rug.
Just to finish up our conversation, Tito, if you have any closing words,
we'd love to hear from you. And then we'll kind
of close out with some of the songs that we've picked. Hmm, didn't really prepare for that. But
I guess thanks for the, you know, friendship and thanks for the journey. I'm really genuinely
grateful for these whole things keep happening, still, you know thing still happening in this
digital era that
things can
go high and
suddenly disappear
and somehow this still stays
and yeah, really love
this whole thing
I just want to say thanks again Beautiful, and yeah really love uh this whole thing i just want to say thanks again beautiful and yeah
thank you um it's definitely something that we will continue experiencing together i look forward
to facing you and a test tones match in a couple weeks and again thank you for coming up
well i think kryptonio are you set up to go ahead and do some closing songs
yes okay cool well we're gonna do two since we got rugged and we'll kind of vibe out towards
the end here let's start with the panda walking sleep track which is the other zero time
collaboration and then we will close out with uh the Mech and Tito collaboration that we talked about during the space.
Can I quickly jump in and say one last thing?
I just want to say, A, that we launched our player cards for Test Tones yesterday.
And more importantly, something that's really cool and a testament to how amazing Tito is, we've had three redeems so far.
So when you vote or refer someone to our app, you get a little in-app token, it's not blockchain.
We've had three people redeem cards,
one of them being Yoshi himself.
And every single person that's redeemed so far
has asked for a Tito card.
So that's just kind of some like MVP.
We all appreciate the heck out of him.
And yeah, if you guys want to go pick one up,
you can either buy them over on Object.
We have links in our profile
or you can trade them in if you have some tokens from our app.
One thing I want to add to that is that half of each sale is going to the artist of that card.
And the other half is going towards a prize pool, which is going to...
A quarter.
A quarter.
So far, we might put more to the prize pool.
But right now, a quarter is going to the...
A quarter of it is going to the prize pool.
And that prize pool is one of the things that's going to incentivize artists.
It'll be like the winning team will actually have some reward.
Well, no, that prize pool is for the fantasy.
So the people who join the fantasy, whoever wins the fantasy actually gets that prize pool.
So when you buy the cards, you could potentially get more than your money back once you join okay but the other is also true um 20 we haven't voted exactly what we do
with that part but it probably will yes but we're not 100 right now all right well we will keep
everybody posted i'm sure that we'll put out another article once more of the season unveils
and definitely appreciate every single one of you let's get into these closing songs and then let everybody go have and enjoy their artsy
weekend. Thank you. I fell asleep in color
Everything is painted bright Yet you lie down, weary, drowned in the night
Your eyes, red eyes, still close, wander in a fragile mind
Flying through the coast of the world
That is mine
Some sultry vibes seeming to consistently come out of the first two zero time productions
