Hash Riffer Lore

For many ages, alongside humanity there has lived a family of beings known as The Riff.

The Riff are vibrational entities who exist in the form of soundwaves. As the ages have progressed, The Riff have mastered the use of soundwave science and can now wield it in many incredible ways. They have the ability to use their soundwave technology to do simple things, like communicating with each other, animals, and plants. They can also use this knowledge to do complex things, like opening portals that they can use to travel through space and time. Equally amazing is their ability to slow sound vibrations down to the point where they can form physical objects. The Riff's technology allows them to use vibrations as a tool of creativity and celebration, or as a powerful weapon of defense.

Even with all these abilities, The Riffs' favorite use of vibration is as a tool to create musical melodies. Over the years, The Riff have also learned from Humans and have gained a deep knowledge of human-made musical melodies. The Riff very quickly figured out that their favorite kind of human melodies were made with the guitar.

Due to this love of the instrument and its unique vibrations, The Riff have taken on the role of guardian angels of the guitar.

They have embraced this role and now act as the inspirational muse for guitar players the world over. Quietly sending them creative inspiration with their vibration technology. This inspiration has become so central to the instrument that the foundation of a guitar melody is known today as a Riff.

The Riff as guardian angels of the guitar have now used their technology to open a portal into the metaverse. They have adjusted their vibrational speed and revealed themselves in avatar form, in preparation for THE WAVE. A period of celebration, contests, and games that begins with the world's greatest guitar competition, RIFF FEST. Their presence has been recorded as a unique cryptographic hash, and now these newly born HASH RIFFERS have arrived, ready to introduce the world to a groundbreaking musical ecosystem built from their creative magic.
