273 Sleeves holders each own one second of 4′33″, John Cage's silent composition. press your second and three facts — your wallet, your token number, the moment Base records the press — become one sound. no other press makes it.
your browser builds the sound from those three facts, then writes it into the contract. the same three facts always build the same sound, so anyone can rebuild yours and check it is real.
once all 273 are pressed, the complete 4′33″ is assembled and airdropped to every holder as a CC0 network composition.
the sound lives in the contract on Base. no server, no IPFS. it plays as long as Base does.
