TechnologyBit News Today1 min read
Acclaimed film composer Tom Holkenborg has revealed plans to mint a unique NFT that will serve as a customized "Soundtrack Of Your Life." The musician, who also goes by Junkie XL, plans to auction 15 items in total, including a 20-plus-minute bespoke score as well as three audio-visual pieces created alongside visual artist Space Renders (Juan Piana). The bespoke soundtrack will be crafted from an interview with the winning bidder, memorializing their milestones, emotions and memories.
Holkenborg created the "Soundtrack Of Your Life" NFT concept in an effort to push the limits of what non-fungible tokens can achieve. The auction will commence at noon EST on June 16, 2021, on the AmplifyX platform. In addition to the custom soundtrack NFT, the auction will feature 14 other items.

This marks the prolific composer's first foray into the emerging blockchain sphere. Junkie XL, who has scored films such as "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Deadpool," was drawn to its potential for empowering creators.
The auction will be hosted on AmplifyX, a platform built on the energy-efficient Tezos blockchain. "We’re building the toolkit to help creators raise capital, create additive revenue streams, and engage with their fan bases in new ways," said AmplifyX CEO Adam Cowherd. The SEC- and FINRA-registered platform is reinventing how NFTs and securities intersect to reshape monetization and digital ownership across tech, popular culture, and finance.

Blockchains that rely on proof of work, such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, consume vast amounts of energy.
Additionally, 10% of the gross proceeds from the auction will be given to Leonardo DiCaprio's Earth Alliance charity.
