Field notes

DISCONNECT+ combines a performing band with an audio-plugin label, a Kunming improvisation venue, and an outdoor event series. Its two named tools have distinct licensing and technical premises: THE BUREAUCRAT is an AU/VST3 effect under AGPL-3.0, while PiGen2 is an MIT-licensed Max for Live sequencer that maps digits of π to musical parameters. The site also maintains a visual archive spanning field notes, posters, paintings, venue imagery, and group material.
