Ipswich, UK (Feb 16, 2022) — Celestion, the premiere manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers as well as PA drivers for sound reinforcement applications, is partnering with the pioneering blockchain music platform Aurovine and the exciting music art focused digital marketplace MusicArt to offer branded NFT graphical design artwork and imagery.
The move follows the success of CelestionPlus.com, the company’s website which offers digital downloads of speaker tones and digital plugins that bring the power and sound of Celestion speakers straight to users’ digital workstations. NFTs of graphical design artwork and imagery seem like a natural extension of this, which will allow Celestion fans to further immerse themselves into company’s world.
“Celestion has always been an integral part of the music industry and seeks to support it and the artists within,” says Ken Weller, Celestion Head of Marketing. “NFTs provide a commensurate reward for work produced by artists. As a well-loved and recognised brand, we understand that people want to feel ‘part of’ Celestion. NFTs provide this affinity for followers of Celestion, guiding musicians and artists towards a supportive environment where their work can be nurtured.”
Celestion have partnered with Aurovine – the artist development company famed for the world’s first music blockchain streaming platform, which provides an ethical alternative for fans to support their favourite musicians.
“It`s a great honour for Aurovine to be asked to partner with Celestion speakers in helping them develop and evolve their NFT artwork into the block chain marketplace,” says Aurovine Managing Director Danun Todd. “As a musician who uses Celestion speakers in the guitar amplifiers that I own and use, it’s fantastic to explore the possibilities that are out there with Celestion NFTs, sharing the brand and content with fans.”
The same ethos that connects the three companies is at the heart of the venture – support for independent artists. The digital art marketplace MusicArt packages cutting-edge blockchain technology in a user-friendly interface that allows unsigned musicians to take control of how they monetise their work. Now Celestion’s NFTs have joined the pantheon of works from legacy acts to exciting up-and-comers hosted on the MusicArt platform.
“It is possible that we could ultimately see artwork combining both our visual and audible heritage,” adds Weller. “In an increasingly physically disconnected world, NFTs provide a closer, deeper and supportive connection with the artist, the brand, along with music and art itself.”
Celestion’s NFTs can be found on the MusicArt platform here.
