He's one of the most likeable people I know and I miss him now that he's left London. But on the other hand, I don't think there's a single city in the world that deserves to keep hold of Orion.

-That feels like a good spot to pause for now. This essay about pastagang will be continued in Part three: Flok.
+He whipped out his phone too and presented some sort of touch screen keyboard that he played chords on and we had moments of getting confused with all the notes but then "Oh it's zero-indexed" and it was all fine again. 
+
+We recorded samples on his phone. We recorded silly catchphrases like "normalise sharing scrappy fiddles" and "anything can be voice training" and played them back at different pitches to make riffs and repeating refrains.
+
+And yes, I tried to delete code as we went on, to let my code die when it had done its thing / had its moment. And those were the best moments, when one instrument got removed, making space for the other sounds to shine and keep going, onto the next part, onto the next, onto the next.

They were merely the aftermath left over at the end: The glowing feeling you get after something good happens. The sun burnt on the back of your eyeballs.
+
+For the first time, it didn't feel like the music was made by me. So for [one remnant](https://strudel.cc/?4BkwkgxHSC3n#Ci8vICJuZW1vIiBAYnkgdG9kZXBvbmQgYW5kIGZyaWVuZHMKCiQ6IHMoIltiZCBoaDozXSBzZCBsdCA8b2ggW29oIGhoXSBbbWlzYzo1IGhoXT4iKQouYmFuaygiUm9sYW5kTUMzMDMiKQovLyAuaHVzaCgpCgokOiBzKCJtaXNjKDMsIDgpIikKLy8gLmxwZig4MDApCi5vZmYoIi4yIiwgeD0%2BIHgubHBmKDcwMCkpCgokOiBuKCI8MSAzIDUgNz4qMiIpCi5zY2FsZSgiQzQ6bWFqb3IiKQouc291bmQoInBpYW5vLCBoYW5kY2hpbWVzIikKLnByZXNzKCkKLmp1eChyZXYpCi5zY2FsZVRyYW5zcG9zZSgiPDAgMj4iKQouc2NhbGVUcmFuc3Bvc2UoIjwwIC00Pi8zIikKCiQ6IG4oIjUiKQouc2NhbGUoIkM0Om1ham9yIikKLnNvdW5kKCJzcXVhcmUiKQouZGlzdG9ydCguNSApCi8vIC5odXNoKCkKLnNjYWxlVHJhbnNwb3NlKCI8MCAyPi8yIikKICAuc2NhbGVUcmFuc3Bvc2UoIjAsIDw0IDI%2BLzUiKQouZGVjYXkoMikKLmRlbGF5KC44KQouZGVsYXl0aW1lKC44KQo%3D), I said that the song was by "todepond and friends". And for the [second one](https://strudel.cc/?VfgRAK-uZKaq), I said it was by "tentpole", which is the [collective](https://tentpole.computer) that me and Orion are part of. 
+
+Yes, it didn't feel right to say that those remnants were made by only me, even if I did all the typing. Because it wasn't just from me: The code that ended up being written down was the result of all of us who were there. Orion made music on his own machines and that directly affected my own code. And the others there gave suggestions and instructions like "do this" and "do that" but also—
+
+Whenever I change some code, I get some feedback from the room. Sometimes people seem unbothered, or sometimes they start nodding their head, or they say "yes" or "what is that" or something. 
+
+Just by being there, you influence the music / you change the jam.

+*The music isn't mine anymore. It belongs to the jam.*

I put long loops on remnants to simulate the "building and demolishing [of] structure over time" and I like how it [ended up](https://strudel.cc/?6YeBYV3k4Bh8#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%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%3D).
