One of Denver’s newest independent artists in the music industry today is Brandon Theis, better known as The Orchestrator. He is Brazilian-born, Denver-based, and a wildly multifaceted artist funkin’ up dance floors across the country. His new hybrid genre of music described as “TrapHouseFunk”, combines bass-heavy, boom-bap beats with fiery live saxophone, illuminating hip-hop vocals, and a magical energy that gets even a somnolent person grooving. His latest venture, like many other musicians, has been immersing themselves in Web3, NFTS.
In January of 2022, Theis launched a series of 150 utility-based music NFTs that give holders access to certain benefits like concert tickets, merchandise, and in his case, royalties from events and music. “I think it’s smart for musicians to have more people invested in their music project or small business in general,” says Theis. By October of 2022, even with the public hype of NFTs fading, he sold out of all 150 NFTs. “It is remarkable to have sold out in less than a year and to have my fans truly committed to my success,” says Theis.
While he launched his project with a more community emphasis, Theis notes that Denver is “a big hub for crypto and Web3.” Not only “cannabis and music” he adds, “but technology is playing a bigger role in all types of businesses that will continue to influence the music industry as a whole.”
NFTs have been the lottery of corporate America, and the music industry has been especially lucky. Music NFTs typically contain links to images, audio, or both. They can be sold as one-of-one editions, where you can be the sole owner of a particular NFT, or in editions of any size, which are usually limited with the hope that they’ll sell out. Even if you paid over $100,000 for an NFT of Kings of Leon’s latest album, anyone can listen to it on Apple Music right at this moment.

Central Park is home to Denver’s deserted 164-foot-tall air traffic control tower —once belonging to the Stapleton International Airport. After Punch Bowl Social vacated the spot, the aviation and beer enthusiasts that own FlyteCo Brewing jumped on this momentous opportunity. This fateful coincidence has gifted Denver FlyteCo Tower — FlyteCo Brewing’s better-looking sister location complete with bites, cocktails and delicious tapped beer.

With bloody pointe shoes, chilling special effects and undead dancers, the Colorado Ballet initiated the Halloween season with a uniquely dark performance of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The story is an infamous literary pillar of the gothic genre. Equipped with foreboding castles, stormy nights and mysteriously handsome figures, the novel has chilled the bones of generations for over a century and has transformed through endless adaptations.
The newest translation of Dracula took vampires from the page to the stage. From October 7 to 16, the Colorado Ballet performed its own rendition of the gothic tale. Featuring choreography by Michael Pink and Philip Feeney’s original score, dancers were accompanied by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra and singers from The Evans Choir.

If the strange and whimsical beckons this Halloween season, if you are one seeking a profound experience in music or performance art, if the idea of loss and redemption hits close to your heart, look no further. This Friday and Saturday marks the 8th annual return of itchy-O’s Hallowmass — a resurrection of ritual in a decidedly secular world.
Described as more than a concert, Hallowmass is a “celebration… a harrowing pilgrimage beyond the self. Hallowmass is both a sanctuary for the Radical-Avant community and a journey into healing, through rites of reflection, adoration and dissolution; building to a percussive blast of purifying bombast.”

For many of us, the movie theater is where we go to escape our troubles and be transported to another world. And at Sie FilmCenter, the magic comes to life.
The theater was opened as the Denver Film Center in 2008, before changing the name to Sie Film Center in 2016. Located on East Colfax, the cinematheque is a non-profit organization, a cultural hub for film and movies in the city, and the home of the Denver Film Society, the Denver Film Festival and so much more.
Going to the movies is a fun night out, but seeing a film at Sie is a cinematic experience. 303 Magazine met with Sie Artistic Director Keith Garcia to learn what makes Sie the best place to see a movie in Denver.
