A message from Justin:

What constitutes... mutability? In a band?

Every time I take the stage (or at least, at each new stop on a tour); every time I put on cans in the studio, I feel a process of instantiation - a new instance of Band. Our setlist is unique each night; our arrangements and effects are often chosen (and signaled to one another) in the moment.

In my journey to write logic that is the internet I want to see - from hacking together a viable battlestation for myself to play games with my kiddo, to legacy enterprise web apps, to custom dapps for this production, I have had many notions in my head (sometimes literally in my dreams) about mutability and its role in mapping the metaphor of the mind into a codebase, and particularly object orientation.

Some of the most important friends I've made along the way are those who have chosen to play (and sometimes write) music with me.

And their contributions don't seem to me to be a small part of some persistent monolith that belongs to me; instead, they feel each like their own distinct and complete creation.

I hope you have enjoyed the shows and records that these folks have made with me as much as I've enjoyed their company, and I especially hope that you see fit to visit us again and contribute your ears and energies to the instantiation of new setlists and sounds.
