NFT embedded into a musical score, $100 per note??

Ugh. Single note NFTs for 595 music notes composing the melody of “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” by Ryuichi Sakamoto, launched for sale on “Adam byGMO”.

Somehow this doesn't sit right with me. Or apparently Brian Eno either.
Brian Eno: “With NFTs even artists can become little capitalist assholes”

"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music, and hearing Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano music when I lived in Japan was one of the things that got me to take up playing piano...

Here's the piece that will have the NFTs in the melody line:

Welcome, Brave New World.

I guess.

So you’re saying I have to pay a C note for a D note?
