In this episode, host Blangs reconnects with Hashbrown, the multi-talented artist, musician, and founder of TezTones and the TezTones Artletics Premier League (TAPL) for a deep dive into the evolving rhythm of collaborative on-chain creation.

Broadcasting from his solar-powered mountain studio, Hashbrown shares what it's like to build a live, competitive art league from the quiet of nature. From Season 3’s rising intensity to the raw unpredictability of live matches, we explore how the TAPL format blends freestyle chaos with high-stakes creativity and why keeping it fun remains the north star.

We also get into how mountain silence has shaped his process, why over-polished art can miss the mark, and how TAPL forces him to wear every creative hat at once. Whether he’s writing code, spinning music, or mediating live-match meltdowns, Hashbrown is remixing what it means to create on Tezos.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How off-grid living changes the rhythm of artistic flow
  • Why TAPL is part art show, part sports night, and part jam session
  • Lessons from burnout, rebuilding fun, and the art of letting go
  • Why Tezos is the perfect playground for collaborative expression
  • What the future holds for TAPL and how to join the next match
