Art collective Titik Poetry founder Verlin Santos launched his first spoken word EP entitled โ€œGaling sa Pinilas na Papelโ€ last February 13 on an Ethereum-based non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace called Foundation. The launch was sponsored by First Mint Fund, an organization that helps Southeast Asian artists mint their first NFTs by sponsoring the gas fees.

โ€œGaling Sa Pinilas na Papel is a conceptual art combined with poetry, storytelling, and illustration that aims to unravel five unique stories sharing the magic of worldโ€™s greatest lessons,โ€ Santos told BitPinas.

According to Santos, the album talks about the five greatest lessons about love, money, life, death, and art which reflects his experiences in life.

โ€œI have carried these stories since college, then these stories evolved as I wandered through my existence. I put my perspective on it, illustrate my interpretation and translate those experiences into learnings. For me, writing is like carving your own history,โ€

The album, in collaboration with his peers, will feature music from JM Lozendo, the collectiveโ€™s sound engineer, and Mark Astada for the musical scoring. A Filipino and English translation, which was made by Johny Paradox, will also be available to cater to a wider audience demographic.

Album artworks are all minted in 1/1 edition and collectors will receive a signed physical copy of the EP, a shirt, and a framed copy of the illustrated art cover.

Accordingly, Santos launched a dual full album NFT collection last month called โ€œKONSEPTO + KONTEKSTOโ€ on the Tezos Blockchain. The albums each featured 9 pieces about inspiration, self-worth, individuality, faith, experience, and lessons from the different social problems the country is facing right now.
