Meridian 68

"Meridian 68" is a unique album by the Polish-Ukrainian band Dagadana, which combines four cultures: Polish, Ukrainian, Mongolian, and Chinese. On the album, the group turns to fresh interpretations of timeless folk music pieces, which sound like a unique fusion of genres, mixing jazz, ethno, and electronics.

The album includes traditional songs from various regions of Poland, Ukrainian and Lemko folk songs, Mongolian poetry that can be heard here, as well as one unique song recorded in Chinese together with the Mongolian-Chinese band North Lab. "Meridian 68" was nominated for the "Fryderyk" award in the Album of the Year: Roots Music category.

It is a vinyl record that comes with a Digital Authenticity Certifi cate, into which we have poured all our passion forsound quality. We have teamed up with masters of vinyl mastering, DMM master cutting and pressing to captureall the beauty of the music created by artists and producers in the studio. This is vinyl at its fi nest in both audio andprint quality, additionally combined with modern technology such as blockchain, which allows for unprecedented possibilities in collecting.

A Digital Authenticity Certificate is more than just a certificate that your disc is genuine. It is an NFT token encoded in a secure and inviolable data registry using blockchain technology. It is inextricably linked to your vinyl; it also certifies that your record number is actually the one that came out of the pressing machine in that order (my number 1 is really number 1 and not just the number on the box). The Digital Authenticity Certificate is also an acknowledgement of your involvement in the project. For example, it certifies how long you have been a fan and listened to a particular band (now you finally have proof that you "listened to them before they were famous"). It's also a PDF that you can download and print, where you'll find the CCA number encoded in the blockchain network and all the metadata you need about the release, band, production, mastering, master preparation, pressing, and production sequence with production date and time.

It is a digital recording that is ripped directly from the DMM master in the studio where the matrices are cut. An extremely sensitive and precise needle, connected to the highest quality audio equipment, follows the diamondcutting knife directly during the ripping process. The result is an audio recording that is unaffected by any subsequent processing (such as plating or pressing).
A novelty in the world of digital files is the use of blockchain technology and the NFT solution based on it. This allows you to own a digital file in the same way you own a vinyl record. But that's not all—if you pre-order GOLDENBLACK DIGITAL VINYL™, your cryptocurrency wallet address will be stored in this file, proving once and for all that you were the first to buy it.

It is a collection of famous digital stickers created by Konrad Kirpluk, especially for the Meridian 68 album, which are also NFT tokens.
Konrad Kirpluk has been creating The Simples since 2013 and has worked with such world-famous brands as Nike, Foot Locker, and Blizzard, making his work very popular and in demand in the Web3 world.

If we have your cryptocurrency wallet address, you will receive the certificate on the release date of October 20.

You have two options: See instructions for setting up and installing a cryptocurrency wallet here, or sign up for a free webinar, and together with Jack Kolodziejczak of OpenArt Studio, we will show you how to do it step-by-step live.

A cryptocurrency wallet will be useful for you to deposit your Digital Certificate of Authenticity on it, but not only. Collecting digital goods, including songs and albums, is becoming increasingly common. With such a wallet, you can own music files and dispose of them on the secondary market. A cryptocurrency wallet and the assets it holds can also be the keys to acquiring new, special content.

Yes. Remember that your vinyl is inextricably linked to the CCA. After you sell your vinyl with CCA, don't forget to send the vinyl to the address indicated. Also, remember to add shipping costs to the sale price.
