WARNING: EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO REPETITION MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY TIME DILATION • ALSO JOY •

Manifesto (Draft)

We gather to practice attention. We gather to let repetition become a door. We gather to remember that a room can breathe if everyone listens.

The Assembly is not a product. The Assembly is a situation. Bring your curiosity. Bring your patience. Bring your volume knob.

Tenets

  • Noise is allowed to be beautiful.

FAQ

Q: Is this a cult?
A: Only in the sense that music is a strange social technology. No dues, no hierarchy, no hidden doctrine. Just sound and people.

Q: What should I expect at a show?
A: Repetition, drift, sudden clarity, and the sensation that time is bending politely.

Q: How long are the pieces?
A: Long enough to change you slightly.

Q: How do I join?
