Earning a living building software without holding other people’s data.
Open-source doesn't mean build it only in the ways defined by software tools like GitHub: we can meet up, talk about it, help each other, organize together in our own ways.

Easy Indie App—Run your own X in a few clicks
Promoting self-hosting via 'one-click install' systems.
Mashes up three different songs with electronic grooves and well-placed cowbell.
Outside my milieu, genre-wise, but it’s a bodyshaker that deserves to be blasted on good speakers. The artist explores their sexuality with visual metaphors and vibrant colours.
From The Ska EP (2008) might be the song that gets me into ska—I would describe it as ‘uplifting’.
From Live At The Bracknell Jazz Festival (1986). Featuring flinging tongues, African grooves, and drummer Ed Blackwell.
Ron Everett: Glitter of the City (1977)
Traditional jazz and swing sounds with weird stuff, and I dug several tracks: Royal Walk_ with warbly instrumentals, loops, screeching, spoken word; Tipsy Lady’s blues/hip-hop and old school drums; Pretty Little Girl’s singing off-key Latin vibe; the 8-bit bossa nova of Untitled No. 4.
Joana Queiroz: Memórias (2019)
Live performance where she builds sound structures with loop pedals and various clarinets, accompanied at times by graceful dancing. Sublime colouring in the photography and clothing.
Joana Queiroz: Performance sonora
Live improvised “sound performance” from 2021. There’s something pure and unfiltered about a human being making music with an acoustic instrument while walking through nature. Accompanying is the sound of birds, dogs, air, footsteps, singing, a self-playing accordion, a fireplace, frogs…
Joana Querioz: Diários de Vento (2016)
Seamlessly integrates nature and song and humanity: it’s the sound of someone enjoying instrument timbres and ambience. Around clarinet melodies there’s a duet with a fly, a child warbling their tongue, clanging pots and pans, squeaking of a rocking chair, lots of tasty sounds. Ai qué delicia!

[All maps are projections, imperfect representations of space.]
On Pioneers, Settlers, Town Planners and Theft.
[Pioneers build the first prototypes of new technologies. Settlers make it accessible profitable. Town planners make it a commodity that enables new pioneers.]
[Create incentives for each group to steal from the other.]
[Each group has a different culture. Not to be subsumed under 'company culture'.]
