Every voice is a node · the public lineage

The OG Circle

Fifteen existing public nodes. Fourteen people and one collective. A living memory of music, code, invitations and care—not a membership roll.

“You don't join the Open Source Orchestra. You notice you were always in it.”

A full circle: musicians in the middle, and listeners on cane stools, beanbags and the floor, between glowing neon pyramids.

PUBLIC LINEAGE ≠ DAO MEMBERSHIP. Inclusion does not imply that any person or collective has joined, approved or endorsed the Open Source Orchestra DAO. These are existing public node cards, not votes, consents, partnerships or activation records.

PRIMARY SOURCES + SHAKA'S FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT

17 JUNE 2022 · THE PROPOSAL

Matteo asks for a living room

Matteo Tambussi posts Music Sessions | Open Mic Stage for Devcon 6 Bogotá: a live, community-run open-mic music stage where jamming creates bonds no whitepaper can. The earlier 2020 Audius music DIP belongs to the wider history too; we do not claim “the first music DIP ever.”

PRAGUE → BOGOTÁ · THE INVITATIONS

Passed person to person

Shaka remembers Jakub Vysoký, Wesley and Skylar in the peer-to-peer invitations that carried the music into the lobby. Wesley's public support and Skylar's volunteer-lead request appear in the thread; Jakub's role is Shaka's firsthand account. No new profile cards are invented for them.

ARGENTINA 2025 · THE MIRROR

“The bull ring beat me up. I'm better now.”

That is Shaka's own image and firsthand account, not a venue label. From the work and the bruising, he carries a renewed vow: the ʻohana as a mirror to no fear—decentralized, open-source technology in service of music and people.

A light on the road into Diwali

On the first day of Diwali, the Music Sanctuary held Devcon 8's closing ceremony: a brass lamp lit, then confetti and dancing under the same mandala that had watched the empty room. A real light, not clip-art.
