Peter Lake, the World’s Only Anonymous Singer-Songwriter, Releases New Song Warning About Nuclear War

NEW YORK, Apr 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Peter Lake, the world's only anonymous singer-songwriter, has released yet another hit single "Nuclear Air" on April 7, 2023. It is now available on streaming platforms globally. The new song, which is both catchy and thought-provoking, deals with the serious subject of nuclear weapons being back in the public consciousness. Lake contends that artists have a responsibility to be iconoclasts and push the boundaries and the discourse.

Single Album Cover

Says Lake: "When I speak to my parents they discuss music as a protest, music as bringing issues to light. Since when did popular music become about the day-to-day? As musicians, we need to follow the lead of comedians and write about topics that matter. I don't want to die in a nuclear explosion!"

With the recent events in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world, the topic of nuclear weapons has once again become an existential threat. In "Nuclear Air," Peter Lake uses his unique voice and songwriting skills to explore this important issue in a way that is both entertaining and enjoyable, but also forces you to think about it.

"'Nuclear Air' is a powerful song that tackles a serious subject but does so in a way that is accessible to all audiences," said a spokesperson for Peter Lake. "We believe that this song has the potential to make a real impact and help raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear weapons."

The release is occurring in tandem with a YouTube video that compiles the visually stunning and disturbing images coming from national archives that documented historical nuclear tests.

Peter Lake is known for his ability to write and perform songs that are both catchy and meaningful. He has built a strong following of fans who appreciate his unique approach to music and his willingness to tackle important issues in his work, and over the last two years has garnered over 50 million streams on YouTube and Spotify.

"Nuclear Air" is available for download and streaming on all major music platforms. For more information about Peter Lake and his music, visit his website at www.peterlake.com or contact the artist directly via Instagram @peterlakemusic.

Rare Artworks by Picasso and UAE Royal Family Member to be Auctioned together for the First Time

DUBAI, Feb 9, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The Rare Antiquities is revolutionising the way museums and galleries are presented in the web 3.0 space through their unique technology. By making high-value art available to everyone, regardless of the budget. It is the first platform to fractionalise a Banksy and distribute the fractionalised pieces as individual NFTs, customisable in size. They have live fractionalised auctions scheduled throughout 2023 for art and antiquities valued at over $1Bn.

To start off the year The Rare Antiquities will host one of their first auctions on the 12th of February 2023. The Red carpet event will take place in Sama L Ain Gallery in Dubai where three Picassos and one painting created by one of the members of the Ras Al Khaimah Royal Family will be auctioned for shared ownership. The main aim of the event is to allow the appreciation of art to rise through shared ownership by giving more people the opportunity to own a piece of it.

The painting that will be featured in the auction was created by Artist Noora Alredhwan, the Mother of Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi. It is dedicated to the 50 year anniversary of the UAE. During EXPO 2020 Dubai it was displayed in the UAE Pavilion for six months. Now, for the first time, it will be accessible for the public.

One of the paintings on auction features a lithography that Pablo Picasso created a few years after the end of the second world war, in 1949. Picasso was particularly passionate about this technique, where stone or metal are treated in a way so that it can be painted or printed on. Another one of the Picasso paintings was created in 1945, using the gouache technique with opaque watercolor, ink and wash on paper. One of Picasso's later works, "Like an animal", which was created in 1957 will also be part of the auction.

Ryan Howells, Founder of The Rare Antiquities, commented on the project and explains the motivation behind it: "The fractionalisaton of art represents a new paradigm fostering a new approach to the appreciation of art. Through this event we hope to bring together like minded people where they can enjoy what each art piece has to offer."

One of the hosts of this special event is Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi. This auction is not just about the art, it's about bringing to market a new way of sharing ownership of artwork that at any other time would be inaccessible to the majority of people.

"For us, art is an important channel to connect with society. It is about accessibility: One aspect of this initiative is that sharing our own artwork with the people brings us closer to the public. Another aspect is that technology enables shared ownership, which allows for more people to access this art," said Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi.

Mohamed Al Banna, initiator and mentor of the the initiative said: "The collaboration with The Rare Antiquities follows our mission of building bridges: On the one hand we're building a bridge between Royal families and the people through art, and on the other hand we create access to highly curated art, like the Picasso works, for a larger audience and not just a few privileged people."

The Rare Antiquities brings museums and galleries to the Metaverse with Rare City which also hosts districts for education, charity, crowdfunding and more. AURA Skypool Lounge, the world's highest 360 degree infinity pool, will now be made available to everyone through a digital space created in the Metaverse.

The move into the Metaverse for the destination is being curated by Rare City which is a part of The Rare Antiquities that leverages blockchain technology for the Rare City Metaverse. This is the first of many venues 'The Rare City' plans to bring into the Metaverse, allowing people to relive a memory, experience or a unique adventure from anywhere.

About The Rare Age

The Rare Age brings museums and galleries to web 3.0 through our one-of-kind technology making high valued art accessible to any individual regardless of budget. The first platform to automate fractionalisation of a Banksy and distribute fractions as individual, configurable in size, NFTs.

Live fractionalised auctions scheduled throughout 2023 for art and antiquities valued at over $1 billion. The Rare Age brings museums and galleries to the Metaverse with The Rare City which also hosts districts for education, charity, crowdfunding and more.

FMC 2022 “Video Game Scoring Competition” offers an exclusive opportunity for composers from around the world

London, UK, Aug 25, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Every year, FMC-Film Music Contest – the unique international music competition and awards – provides a competitive platform for composers, musicians, producers, and sound designers of original scores for film, television, commercials and video games.

FMC includes the "FMC Video Game Scoring Competition", a separate category for music composers and sound designers of all ages and nationalities that is unique in the world of music competitions.

"After the great response in last year's competition and many requests to continue this category, we have decided to cater to all artists and fans. We are thrilled to launch the 'Game Scoring' category again this year, in collaboration with a videogame production and publishing company Grindstone. Many people don't have the opportunity to test their skills on this type of project and expand their portfolio to showcase their work for new, larger projects. This category introduces material that is visually very interesting and will provide plenty of inspiration for all entrants. I am sure they will immerse themselves in the exciting creative process again this year, have a lot of fun and take a break from their day-to-day work. The resulting original music will be unique works of art," said Vlado Zeleznak Jr., director of the FMC-Film Music Contest.

What does FMC 2022 have in store for music creators in the video game category this year?

They will be asked to write a score for a short intro opening sequence for the upcoming all-new video game "Die by the Blade", set for its world premiere and release this autumn.

In this year's contest, we are offering prizes valued at more than EUR38,000.

Every year, the competition rewards its winners generously. This year, they will receive prizes valued at more than EUR38,000 and gain international media attention and publicity. On top of that, winners will be awarded original hand-crafted trophies and certificates as keepsakes for the triumph and recognition of their musical work.

All prizes can be viewed here: /www.fmcontest.com/prizes/

From a professional angle, another incentive to enter is the opportunity to expand and enrich your music portfolio with a video game project you can present and share to the world along with your music. You can use the finished project to promote yourself and reach new fans and followers with your music.
