Anyma aims to create multi-sensory experiences that push the boundaries of traditional electronic music production and electronic music visuals. Art and music, universal languages, combined with web3 technology have the power to connect people on a deeper level.
Anyma collaborates with artists like Filip Hodas and Alessio De Vecchi to create interactive spaces and audio-visual artworks that bring new musical concepts to life. The digital productions, incorporating NFTs (non-fungible tokens), provide a new way of experiencing music and interacting with fans.
Anyma Genesys Project
Anyma’s Genesys project consists of multiple track and NFT releases. Genesys will conclude with a full album release.
Anyma’s NFTs, futuristic pieces of digital art, have been released alongside the individual LPs. Anyma creates the music, and artists like Alessio De Vecchi and Filip Hodas would collborate and create the digital art to fit the tracks.The limited edition NFTs were released on the Superrare NFT marketplace.
Given the price and rarity, the market for Anyma’s NFTs limited to high net-worth digital art collectors. Matteo has mentioned the possibility of future NFT releases that would be available to a wider audience.
Bridging Metaverse and In Real Life
Anyma is not the first electronic dance music artist to combine music, art, and 3D visuals. The use of blockchain technology and NFTs in real life audio-visual events sets Anyma apart.
The underlying theme of Anyma’s NFTs is the symbiotic relationship of technology, art, and nature. The visuals displayed at an Anyma live performance are the NFTs created on blockchain technology. The performances are a combination of fine art and electronic dance music.
Anyma brings his NFTs to real life events by picking venues and designing shows that best express the underlying story of the NFT and artwork. The first live Anyma NFT introduction, highlighting ‘Eva 0’ was a show at Printworks in London. The next was a show in Tulum, Mexico highlighting ‘The Pact’. Anyma’s shows will be a continuation of the Genesys project.
You can see the extended and immersive reality Anyma has created in these highlights from past performances.
Exploring the Creative Potential of NFTs

Creating an immersive experience for attendees has always been a priority at EDM shows and festivals. NFTs have opened up new frontiers in live music visuals, allowing artists to create interactive and multi-sensory experiences. By integrating NFTs into their shows, artists can transport their audience into a world of audio-visual artworks, enhancing the overall impact of the music and show.
