Artifract.io allows you to own a piece of music and artistry of Music Icon Ely Buendia

Artifract.io, a pioneer in Fine Arts NFTs in Asia, signs a partnership agreement with Ely Buendia, W E U Event Management Services, and Dvent Productions to bring the Pinoy Rock Icon’s music to the Metaverse.  This collaboration allows fans and music lovers to immerse in Ely Buendia’s musical art and unprecedented access to exclusive multimedia contents from the one and only Maestro of Pinoy Rock Music.

The project makes the musical experience immersive and enjoyable, at the same time allowing fractional ownership of Ely’s exclusive musical NFTs. Artifract aims to preserve timeless musical collections by placing them in a metaverse where users, as their avatar personas, can immerse themselves and appreciate works from Ely.

“We cannot wait to bring Ely Buendia NFTs into Artifract’s platform. Our users will be able to appreciate and have access to exclusive fractionalized musical arts. Most importantly, they will own a piece of Ely’s musical art on the blockchain,” said Marvin Agustin, co-founder of Artifract.io.

“We’re excited to be working with Artifract. This new partnership allows us the opportunity to explore other ways of sharing our music in the metaverse. We look forward to curating an exclusive set of musical pieces for our upcoming Web3 project!”,  Ely Buendia said.

The conceptualizing and execution planning started with Ely’s longtime colleagues at DVent Productions and WEU Event Management Services. According to W E U President Francis D. Lumen Jr., “W E U is excited to collaborate with icons and innovators like Ely Buendia and Artifract, to create the next wave of the art content for fans to enjoy and share through blockchain technology.”

“We’re neophytes in this enterprise and relatively new to the digital community, aware of the misgivings of traditional art aficionados and collectors which inspired us to thoughtfully create art featuring both digital and tangible collectible assets that have inherent value in the real world and NFT metaverse,” says Maria Diane Ventura of Dvent Productions.

“Artifract created a platform for creators to digitize their works and to democratize access to it. We’re thrilled to enable Ely Buendia and many more artists, brands, and creators to build stronger relationships and connections with their audiences using the technology we developed at Artifract and UBX,” according to Rico Dela Cruz of UBX.

Under this collaboration, Ely will release his exclusive NFT titled “Flamed Lullaby,” with an Ely-composed  original  tracking/song title called “Hele.”  The artwork is inspired by the Eraserhead’s last 2008 Reunion Concert, where the Sticker Happy Piano was burned and smashed during their final performance of “Huling El Bimbo.”

This never-before-released musical art piece will be heard and appreciated by not more than 2,000 owners of the NFT, which will start at Php 15,000 per fractional NFT, with exclusive royalty rights and printed version of the Artwork plus a certificate of Authenticity.

Manifesto: Where the Beautiful Rise and Converge

Everything that reminds us of the life that was becomes a beacon of hope. As the world emerges from a difficult few years, it’s nice to discover a place for people to rise above the mundane and connect with like-minded individuals.

Manifesto, a modern café, and restaurant located on Valero Street in the heart of Makati’s Central Business District, understood the assignment and nailed it right on the head. They did not only know what people wanted, they knew what they needed – a respite from the monotony of daily life and the chance to enjoy great food in the company of friends and strangers.

Serving what is probably one of the busiest and chicest areas of Makati, Manifesto has an enviable menu that features the best comfort foods from l’Orient et l’Occident. All-time Filipino favorites like beef tapa, spiced bangus, and longganisa are available to those who crave a hearty Pinoy breakfast, while an assortment of mouthwatering kebabs like chicken, beef, and lamb are available to those who crave the flavors of the Middle East.

At the heart of Manifesto is their carefully crafted coffee menu, featuring 17 unique and expertly brewed drinks, including traditional Italian classics.  One sip of their doppio could instantly transport you to a Roman café, as you sit amidst elderly peanut-eating gentlemen wearing berets and plaid trousers held up by suspenders. For the faint of heart, they also serve mochaccinos, macchiatos, and cappuccinos.

Fresh fruit juices and shakes are also available for patrons who want to beat the tropical heat. And for days and nights when one needs to wind down or “can’t even,” try their strawberry daiquiri or mojito, or order a bottle or two of Stella Artois or Peroni.

Manifesto is a haven for every soul, lost or found. It is a place where they can let their hair down and just be. Visit today and experience a true renaissance in dining.
