A message from Justin:

What constitutes... mutability? In a band?

Every time I take the stage and every time I put on cans in the studio, I seek to make a new instance of the class 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 band and 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 during these years of deliberation 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.

So what follows is a list of those people, with links to their contributions, and in some cases, a brief anecdote about our meeting. This list is sorted by the number of instances they have appeared in, with extra weight given to studio recordings.
