History
Wires Under Tension was founded by Christopher Tignor, a classically trained violinist, and drummer Theo Metz.[1] Tignor is also a member of the band Slow Six and has done software design for Google.[2] The initial impetus for founding the band grew out of Tignor's eviction from a Brooklyn apartment space where much of Slow Six's practice and composition had been carried out; the apartment building he had been living in was condemned after a fire marshal inspection.[1] Tignor then moved to The Bronx and began working with Metz as a duo, culminating in the release of the full-length Light Science in early 2011.[3][4][5]

gollark: Hmm, well, you can... use `rayon` as a really convenient way to improve the performance of iteratory things by using multiple threads?
gollark: Neat. I may have to add this to PotatoBIOS.
gollark: > Any beginner mistakes more advanced rust users would like to warn me about up front?If your code has problems, randomly sprinkle in `&` and maybe `&mut`.
gollark: > Seeing as abby isn't on, the beginners mistake is starting using it.That is heresy. Rust good.
gollark: I'm *technically* a contributor too! Although only on relatively meaningless small changes to the ROM!
