Distros
The story of Linux told through its distributions. Each track profiles a major distro - its founder, philosophy, triumphs, and struggles. Arranged chronologically from 1993 to 2020, the album traces the evolution of open source: from lone hackers in basements to billion-dollar acquisitions, from purity to pragmatism, from idealism to industry.
Merge Conflict
"Merge Conflict" is a concept album documenting the legendary flame wars, beefs, and drama of the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML). Each track represents a real incident with actual quotes, commit references, and email thread IDs woven into the lyrics.
DEB + IAN
A narrative album tracing the life of Ian Murdock (1973-2015), the visionary who founded Debian at age 20 and gave the open-source world one of its most enduring gifts. The album follows his journey from idealistic Purdue student writing the Debian Manifesto, through marriage to Debra (the "Deb" in Debian), to industry success at Sun and Docker, and ultimately to his tragic death at 42 following a violent encounter with San Francisco police.
