3LAU & Visual Artist Slimesunday Team Up for 'The Iridescent Collection'

Slimesunday and 3LAU team up once again under their alias SSX3LAU for their triumphant return to Nifty Gateway and their first exploration of color. Launching today, March 12, The Iridescent collection consists of 5 audio / visual pieces combining unreleased music from 3LAU and Slimesunday's mesmerizing animation.

There will be 4 Open Editions ('FACES', 'FLOW', 'FLUX', and 'Auction Winner Picks Name') and a 1/1 Auction which is also called 'Auction Winner Picks Name.' As a first for the artists, the winner of the auction will receive naming rights for the piece (at the discretion of the artists) which will later be applied to the Open Edition NFT. The duo has also announced these will be the last SSX3LAU Open Editions ever minted.

SSX3LAU is a collaborative project between renowned artist Slimesunday & electronic music producer 3LAU. While 3LAU and Slimesunday have worked together for years with Slimesunday providing the cover art for many of 3LAU’s releases, their newest venture takes the relationship between audio and visual art to the next level. Slimesunday creates animated artwork soundtracked by 3LAU’s unreleased music resulting in NFTs. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are digital and blockchain-based collectibles that can be bought, sold, and traded on marketplaces using blockchain technology and in this case are rare pieces of digital art that cannot be replicated.

In late-February, 3LAU commemorated the three-year anniversary of his acclaimed “Ultraviolet album,” the first album to be tokenized, by selling a record-breaking 11.6 Million in NFTs via an online auction. This is a record for overall sales for a single NFT drop/collection, as well as the highest price paid for a single NFT (3.6M). More details can be found on the event's website.
