Twelfth auction is here! Feat. Pianity and BirdSong Project Charity
This auction brings us a special guest: Pianity. With Pianity comes the BirdSongProject, a charity for Birds. A Guide to the Birdsong is a series of albums inspired by the song of endangered birds, created to raise awareness and funds for their protection. Each album focuses on one region of the world.
We challenge ten artists from the thriving local music scene to create a piece of music using, and inspired by, the song of a threatened species from the region.
All of the profits from the albums are donated to local organizations working to save these species and their habitats. To date we have released two Volumes and raised a total of over $50,000 USD for on-the-ground bird conservation.

A bit more about the BirdSong project by ShikaShika
The project was born from a simple but beautiful idea — to challenge some of the most talented producers and musicians from one region of the world to create a track inspired by the song of an endangered bird from their country. Raising awareness and driving change through music.
What are our friends over at Pianity doing?
Pianity is a music NFT marketplace where musicians and their communities gather to create, collect, and trade songs in limited editions. Pianity focuses on music and is accessible to everyone to join a community of fanatic collectors.
Pianity opted for Arweave. Arweave has developed an alternative blockchain which is the next generation of decentralised networks dedicated to permanent data hosting. Both the smart contract and the music file are stored forever on the blockchain.
Pianity’s pioneering approach — which includes free listening for all and permanent storage of both the smart contract and the music files using Arweave — enables a deeper connection between the artist and their audience.
