obligatory unstructured thoughts thread

- wild that the shape and feel of AlgoRhythms changes so drastically throughout the night. i always feel like the energy drops a bit when people start to leave... and then massively picks up again right at the end when it's only the nutters left. and this is when some of the wilder jamming happens... capybara visuals... brain wave visuals part 2... live vocals... james holden secret set...

2. can't believe my parents came! they saw me perform! and all the community stuff! thank you so much jane for swapping slots with me so they can watch
3. i never finished these unordered thoughts!
4. pure magic when syntel8 started playing. that shimmery music with brain-scan-laura bopping on visuals and the dancefloor. then surprise vocal set holy holy shit the secrets at the end of the night are incredible. again again huge "i was there" energy.
5. i guess i really love going first / near the start of the night. i love the challenge of waking everyone up. i toned it down a little bit compared to the previous time i went first and it worked better i think.
6. was super pleased to get riffin/2 in there since all the recent chat about it in #pastagang land.
7. the internet really sucked this time. really disrupted things at the meetup part. maybe we should have given up earlier.
8. no livestream because of internet issues but I'm pleased i filmed and uploaded most things (until battery ran out).
9. would love to try out the livestream setup. my main challenge is getting there early enough after work.
10. no one sounds like pastagang performing live. still starting to get a feel for what it sounds like / goes like. you can hear all of its arms flailing around doing different things! you can hear its struggle, clawing itself up grab by grab. it sounds like effort!
11. someone added a really loud crow attack during the pastagang set. i worry for people's ears a bit. when i deleted it someone commented "aw no fun". im guessing they were at home using tiny speakers/ headphones. did they even realise we were playing it out of funktion-ones? i wonder
12. i'm so bad at dancing but that doesn't stop me
@TodePond There's riffin/2 discourse?
@boggo the discourse: people love riffin/2
@TodePond was it you who was putting on the #pastagang event today? it was so cool to be a part of it.
@cutesobri no it was London live coding so its a collaborative effort, but @synte does the most
@TodePond felt like i did the least tonight, was wonderful just to watch everything unfold 🧡
