A collection of 12 NFT's featuring the original unreleased demo recordings of The Classic Crime's "Patterns in the Static", each represented by a 1/1 lyric sheet handwritten by the artist on Spectrogram waveform prints that make up the album's cover art. Each piece shows the handwritten lyrics being destroyed by fire as the demo recording of the song plays.

This project was motivated by seeking closure on an album released at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and inspired by experiences of death of rebirth from physical into virtual spaces during the subsequent lockdowns. The human, handwritten and elemental aspects of these pieces are juxtaposed with their birth as ERC-721 tokens, playing in the conceptual gaps between "real" and "fake", physical and digital, emphasizing this transition.

Each NFT includes unlockable content, which is a link to the hi-res file stored on the Arweave network, a decentralized permaweb designed to secure data forever.
