We both ended up playing games this week for the first time since the fxhash release last November. Ten months with no gaming is probably a personal record for both of us :| &#x20;

*   Will has been playing

We had the extreme pleasure of interviewing Andreas Rau and Marcelo Soria-Rodriguez on their recent collaboration, [*Toccata*](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/toccata).

With the indexer down for part of this week we got to see a lot more of our namesake image! You both hate and love to see it :)&#x20;

## 02. Projects of the Week

Heads up folks -- Julia V isn't sticking to just image composition anymore! Keep on eye on her future releases.

![S048, Marc Maurer](ipfs://QmeFnkkmyikMCUSmHzrzwfV2SJHtN7QjEW1qcogyzGSByB)

The base images for *Obliques* are sourced from the CC0 (public domain) images from Marc Maurer's [*Parallels*](https://objkt.com/collection/KT1TiSEcASGD19SW8bmqrqgSgCBkwXqDdTJ1) collection.

There is a clear progression between *Zbageti* and *Take Wing* that is absolutely beautiful.

::embed-media[]{href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7mgpg7I83hLRS0iDzDZjqo?si=6b45785e9aa24b7b"}

Our first (and only, as of now) topical episode on flipping goes deeper into some of the poker analogues we discuss here.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1180487"}

There is lovely variation between the different pieces of *Take Wing*. Some are punchy and flair out with color.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1180387"}

Other pieces lean into gentle waves and more of a monochromatic palette.

Again, there is a clear through-line that can be seen across all of Melissa's work.&#x20;

We *strongly* encourage everyone to take a look at [Melissa's website](https://www.melissawiederrecht.com/) to learn more about her and her art.

This project totally is reminiscent of an NES cartridge circuit board!

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1170808"}

*#285* has the 'Iso' trait, which is represented by diagonal lines.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1169197"}

'Oversize = true' is a rare trait that depicts thicker lines.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1BJC12dG17CVvPKJ1VYaNnaT5mzfnUTwXv" path="ledger::13815" data_spec="FX-GEN-DATA-002"}

*Murals* is another fantastic release by nbswwit that we regret overlooking way back in May

![Trossets #86](ipfs://QmdjcXM8cRWDmCio9pDnhEppdgrgSob6XSbZh1YETvmmSh)

Anna is one of the many artists who have crossed over from Art Blocks to fxhash. Her project, [*Trossets*](https://www.artblocks.io/collections/curated/projects/0xa7d8d9ef8d8ce8992df33d8b8cf4aebabd5bd270/147/tokens/147000000), is absolutely beautiful.&#x20;

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1BJC12dG17CVvPKJ1VYaNnaT5mzfnUTwXv" path="ledger::11589" data_spec="FX-GEN-DATA-002"}

Piter Pasma's *Gonzion* is similar to *Redols* in its basic amazingness that is tempered by a relative lack of dramatic variety.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1176999"}

*Redols #60* stands out from some others in the series.

Don't forget to run the token! The animation brings the sense of depth to life.

Will thinks that his pink one is a stand-out in the collection. Despite that, he is looking to sell to help recoup tez for any future *Contrapuntos* buying.

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1176150"}

Others seemingly leverage the flow fields that are quickly becoming a Landlines signature

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1176140"}

Some retain strict rigidity and hard lines

::embed-media[]{href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6lqwRfIHYRiJ7M9xfLqcRx?si=fdd3a3d948b34817"}

Kittie was a Trinity staple twenty years ago....sometimes you have to live in the past a bit.
