Wu-Tang Made One Album for One Buyer. This Band Makes One Original Song for Every Fan
Washingtoner/10329486

POINT ROBERTS, Wash. - Washingtoner -- When the Wu-Tang Clan pressed a single copy of *Once Upon a Time in Shaolin*, they made scarcity the artwork. Haawke inverted the idea: instead of one record for one collector, the band Squaawke creates **one original song for every single fan** and gives it away.

The launch is announced by "**Edition of One**," a Squaawke single that parodies Wu-Tang's  one-copy album while reversing its premise about vaults, and a thousand chosen heads, each holding a different sacred piece. True to its own lyrics, the track is fingerprinted, registered, and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.

**How a song is born.** Follow Squaawke, and within hours you receive a personal letter at
your own web address. An AI bandmate reads what the band can know of your world — your bio, your city, your language, even your photos: the system *looks* at a fan's pictures
and lets what it sees shape the song.

**How a song is sealed.** Every track carries a Haawke identifier in its
ID3 tags. The moment it is born, its  fingerprint is printed on the fan's letter,
recorded in Haawke's registry, timestamped onto  blockchain. Every letter
carries a certificate of provenance. Like an NFT, each work is verifiably one-of-one;
unlike an NFT, it arrives as a gift. The first fan letters are being delivered now.

**Make your own.** With **Squeek Editions by Haawke Neural Technology**
(https://squeek.haawke.com), anyone can commission the band: your brief, Squaawke's
voices — in any language, even Swahili. Every track you make you own flat out, even
commercially, with the same fingerprint-registry-blockchain seal as the band's own
releases. Plans start at $9/month with a 7-day free trial; one-off custom songs are $5.

The band itself is a fixed creative identity — a deep, raspy male lead, a female vocal, self-harmonies, and unplugged intimacy — while everything around that identity adapts to the listener. The entire system runs in the cloud in,  an open-source model reads (and now sees) each fan's profile and writes the lyrics, and every step from composition to blockchain registration happens automatically, at a cost of approximately zero dollars per song.
