Original music paired with chosen public-domain images. One object each. On-chain first. Then everywhere else.
One image. One recording. One object.
Eugène Delacroix — Orphan Girl at the Cemetery (Jeune orpheline au cimetière) (1823–1824)
Inner Reel roster
A lost state of mind: something burning, fuming, radiating, pulsating, vibrating, illuminating. Or just a lot of smoke. You can be the interpreter.
This is the kind of thing that happens when lunatics create a rock, metal, industrial, experimental project. We're thrilled, and a little terrified.
Obsessed with words and music and whatever songs come from them, Hank Scrawl is writing and recording as much as he can before the final cut.
Inner Reel is a digital label. Fragments is the collection: one public-domain artwork, one original song, a 1/1 on Ethereum is created as the song goes into distribution.
Once a collector bids, a 3 day auction starts. The highest bidder gets the 1/1. The image is credited. The song stays with the writer(s). Inner Reel owns the recording. The grid keeps growing whether it sells or sits.
We've collected since 2021 and believe in the tech and possibilities. The token is how a Fragment is released first: one image, one song, one object. Then it goes into ordinary distribution.
A lot of extraordinary work was left by artists who are no longer here. Each Fragment pairs a chosen public-domain image with an original song. The image is credited to the artist who made it. The song stays with the writer(s). Inner Reel owns the recording. The image is not a backdrop. It is half the object. The song is the other half. Inner Reel releases them as one.
The token is the pairing and the first-listen object. It is not a copyright filing. It does not transfer the master, the publishing, or a license to sample the song unless that is written separately. The song stays with the writer(s). Inner Reel owns the recording. The image is credited to the artist who made it. The collector owns the token: the pairing, and a place in the catalog.
No. Inner Reel artists don't use any of these things.
The aim is for the label, the site, and the collection to stay up for a long time. The site is static files on Cloudflare. No app server, no database, and as few dependencies as possible, so there is less to break and less to pay for. The image and the recording for each Fragment are also stored on Arweave, which is built to keep data for at least 200 years. The token stays on Ethereum. The Fragment remains.

No. This site does not run analytics, set cookies, or keep an account. Cloudflare logs basic connection data to keep the site online, and that log is theirs. Collecting a Fragment leaves this site for Manifold, which handles the wallet and the claim. You can read the privacy page.
