What is Relics?
Collect and display RELICS. Each RELIC includes a unique visual and full-length song from Monstercat’s roster of Electronic musicians. Own a moment in time from your favourite artists.

The Metaverse music thesis
We believe that a musical atmosphere is needed in the Metaverse. While there are many companies and collections focused on releasing new music and redesigning music releases, there are very few tackling the problem of providing copyright-licensed music and music players for Metaverse worlds. The RELICSxyz company focus is a simple, two-tiered strategy. RELICSxyz enables audiences to represent themselves with a theme song, and fill virtual spaces with song mixes. We do this with the release of two unique product types: RELICS and IDOLS.

Why Your Musical Identity in the Metaverse Matters
RELICSxyz was born out of the idea that music is a foundational component of your identity, be it virtual or IRL. This is the second in a short series of hot takes on how we see music and the Metaverse 🤝. Check out our first post on how we're tackling the transition of music from Web2 to Web3, all while providing a space for artists to earn a living wage through royalties here. In the coming articles we’ll dive into the future of music in the Metaverse, the inevitable issues with music master and publishing rights (aka “copyright”) on the blockchain, relationships between artists & fans, and more.

Your Personal Identity and Music
Music plays a role in shaping our identity on a subconscious level. Studies have shown that the type of music we listen to can affect our mood and emotions. Upbeat, happy music can make us feel more positive and optimistic, while slower, sadder tunes can make us feel reflective and introspective, and loud music can make us purchase and move more quickly. Think about how important this mood setter will be in the Metaverse.

A soundtrack in the Metaverse is needed.
Similar to video games in the 90’s, virtual worlds are currently made up of simple looped background tracks. The ability to listen to music requires lowering the game audio which can impact your experience. What is Super Mario without the hop and slam soundbites? Eventually video games soundtracks made the leap from background tunes to iconic sounds of our childhood. We believe this is an inevitable future for the Metaverse as well.

It is needed to shape our virtual identities.
Music can be a powerful tool for shaping our virtual identities, as it allows us to express ourselves and connect with others in a unique and personal way. The music we listen to can reflect our personality, interests, and values, and can help others understand who we are and what we stand for.

Collective Identity and Music
There is no more powerful force in shaping a community than music. In virtual worlds, music takes on an even more important role in shaping our identities. It can play a central role in fostering a sense of community, and help to define the identity of those who inhabit the virtual spaces.
In massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), players form guilds or clans that they play with regularly. These groups often have their own theme songs or anthems that help to bring the members together and foster a sense of camaraderie. We believe this can be applied to the Metaverse as well.

RELICS are playable visual music records. They are an audiovisual collectible in the form of ERC-721 non-fungible tokens. RELICS upgrade over time. This upgrade is a dynamic property that represents a song's performance in the real world. This is the equivalent of a “Platinum record” award, but in Web3. Currently you can purchase Season 1 of RELICS on the secondary market, with more seasons to be announced soon. RELICS can be played on IDOLS. RELICS can also be played on their own as a soundtrack within Web3, or, when not in “on mode” also act as unique pieces of art designed by some of the most celebrated artists in Web3.
IDOLS are sound systems for the Metaverse. RELICS play on IDOLS, which is similar to a song playing on a record player or virtual iPod. Currently GENESIS IDOLS are available for purchase on the secondary market, with the IDOL II by Raf Grassetti being available for purchase in 2023, and more editions of the IDOL to be announced soon.
RELICS and GENESIS IDOLS were initially minted in 2022, so they are now only available to purchase on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea. The IDOL II by Raf Grassetti will be available to mint for select collectors in 2023, with more editions to be announced soon.
IDOLS are digital world-ready music players. IDOLS are Metaverse sound systems for virtual environments. IDOLS also act as unique pieces of art when not in “on mode”. Currently IDOLS have the ability to be dragged and dropped into Metaverses like Decentraland, with more exciting integrations to be announced in the coming year.
