Matteo Tambussi 🎻🇮🇹

The brother who asked first

Co-founder of the Open Source Orchestra tradition — born at ETH Prague 2022, alive in the circles of Devcon ever since.

On June 17, 2022, Matteo submitted the first music DIP in Devcon history — “Music Sessions | Open Mic Stage” for Devcon Bogotá — arguing that jamming live amongst devs creates bonds no whitepaper can. He was right. The Music Space exists because he asked for it first.

Musician, linguistics passionate, web3 OG from Turin, Italy — an ethereum ant at work on many industry intersections and co-founder of SpaghettETH, Matteo has been weaving music into Ethereum since before it had a stage.

“None of this would be possible without you, brother.” — Shaka 🌺

🫚 Ginger Game ✓ official

Ain’t no room the Devil runs the world
ain’t no secret who snuck him into the Ball
ain’t no sunlight that can pierce that long black cloud

but I got a trick to foil those evil plans

I fiery mate
is what I need to play,
this wicked game against the house of snakes.
Flaming locks and dragon eyes don’t know no shame,
In the deepness, they burn even brighter flames

Ginger game, ginger game
Orange crush, honey pain
Pull the strings drop the chains
The devil's got no game against ginger's game

Ginger thoughts spice up my appetite
Space me out into the deep blues sky
Far above the mountains through the stratosphere
I will hit the sun and kill your fucking fears
Ginger game, Ginger game
Orange crush, honey pain I'll kill
Killer queen, Freddy said
The devil's got no game against ginger's game

One, two, three, four,five, six, seven,
all the gingers go to heaven

📍 Luogoper ✓ official

Ho trovato un luogo per
per tornare a immaginare
Nuove cure per il nostro amore, questo amore che ci tratta male
Per poterci arrivare c'è una sola indicazione
Prendi quella strada senza nome
Dopo il ponte sul fiume delle troppe parole
E con il vento in coda super la salita
Non farai fatica e la notte ti aspetterà
Entra senza esitazione
Questa casa ti conosce già
Svesti in dubbio ed il rumore Incontrami con curiosità

🌊 Tanta Paura ✓ official

TANTA PAURA

Non è la disumanità che mi spaventa
Né l'avverata fantascienza
Quanto il dovere rinunciare, fino in fondo
A ciò in cui io mi riconosco,fIn cui sono più capace

Ho così tante paure,
Ho sempre nuove paure

E Faccio fatica a sbarazzarmi del tuo amore di coniglio
Ci han detto che l’integrità si ottiene solo con un figlio
Ma un figlio è un atto criminale,
è un tradimento della specie
Quando a riscrivere l'amore tutti vanno col macete,

E con le lame taglieranno tutti i ponti col passato,
garantiranno il futuro, un futuro inviolato

Ho così tanta paura
Di essere solo con la mia paura

E mi sforzo
A livello intuitivo
Di capire qual è il luogo
Qual è il momento conclusivo
Dov’è sepolta l’altra metà del mio cuore
Dove ho le mie virtù
Dimmi ora se ce l’hai tu
Dimmi ora se ce l’hai tu

Sono Pacifico e avverto serenità

Rit 2
e ti penso, come il vento respiro nelle valli
sopra i mari, di un desiderio conclusivo
a cui sarò per sempre fedele
Senza perdermi in tanta paura
Senza perdermi in tanta paura

✨ Gioia Perfetta ✓ official

Com’è triste il giorno di maggio
dentro al vicolo povero e solo!
Di tanto sole neppure un raggio;
con tante rondini, neanche un volo.
Pure c’era in quello squallore,
in quell’uggia greve e amara,
un profumo di cielo in fiore,
un barlume di gioia chiara.
C’era… c’erano tante rose
affacciate ad una finestra,
che ridevano come spose
preparate per la festa.
C’era seduto sui gradini
d’una casa di pezzenti,
un bambino piccino, piccino,
dai grandi occhi risplendenti.
C’era in alto una voce di mamma,
così calma, così pura!
che cantava la ninna nanna
alla propria creatura.
E poi dopo non c’era più nulla…
Ma, di maggio, alla via poveretta
basta un bimbo, un fiore, una culla
per formarsi una gioia perfetta.
Performarsi.

🌷 3MILY ✓ official

Ci incontriamo in volo
e in volo ci lasciamo
tu alla tua missione
ed io all’Uragano
che raffredda la mente
dopo una calda estate
e il pianeta in fiamme

chissà se troveremo
ognuno per sè
felicità, era una vasca piena
dove potevo guardarti affogare
accarezzando una canzone
semplice come te

3mily 3mily
cosa fai 3mily

incontrerai qualcuno
o qualcuno ti incontrerà
digli di no, tu non ci credi alla slealtà
dei corpi sensuali orbitanti
travolti dalla gravità
di una altra cometa.

3mily 3mily
dove sei 3mily
dormi qui 3mily

🔥 Burnout ✓ official

BURNOUT

Mi piacciono le farfalle
Mi piacciono colorate
Mi perdo nelle trame
Delle loro traversate

e questa emozione che graffia il corso del vento
Fa scorta di pace prima del riarmamento

Oggi non posso fare altro che cedere
che dare ragione all'irragionevole

I mantra osceni degli motivatori alla conquista
Getto la spugna e vado in spiaggia

ma sulla sabbia un inatteso batticuore
mi spinge sul ciglio un abisso interiore

Tutti i volti rubati a persone migliori
Non mi aiuteranno
Mi sento esposto e in preda all'affanno

Cade ogni tipo di fede
Anche quella che avevo in te
Non mi resta che cedere, eccedere

E quando tocco il fondo una convinzione!
Un'idea senza soggetto, misura o sapore!

si fa strada in me
e mi porta con sé
per aria | per i sentieri antichi
nell’aria | che collegano i pianeti

Mi piaccion le farfalle, mi piacciono colorate
Mi piaccion le farfalle, mi piacciono colorate
Mi piaccion le farfalle, mi piacciono colorate

🏝️ Island ✓ official

oh life
you got me rowing
under the sun
no way I can find my island

fine line
between the blue
ocean and soul
tears won’t let me see my island

low lives
my family
the only ones I know
go, go with the flow
miles and miles away from the skyline

you rock and rollers
take the oars
you castaway lovers
feel the roar of Life
life on an island
searching for islands
sailing by the stars
never be lost

all mine
nothing to lose, under this sun
just nowhere to run
we’ll never stop chasing our Islands

you rock and rollers
take the oars
you exiled looters feel the roar
of Life
life on an Island
searchin for islands
sailing by the stars
never be lost
never grow old

🍫 Cioccolato Fondente ✓ official

Questa tempesta monta monta
E non scarica mai
E quando arriverà la sete
allora vedrai
Berrai da una fontana di sangue
Vita fresca e innocente
Come il primo peccato di gola
ti ricorderà un po il cioccolato fondente

E mentre il mondo discende
Il suo segreto a mezz’aria rimane
Un tessuto di sogno lo avvolge
che inibisce l’azione
Sui resti delle loro battaglie
sui simboli del loro potere
cioccolato fondente

⛈️ La Canzone del Tuono 📝 draft

⛈️ The thunder sings in textures — our transcriber heard only fragments. Matteo, send us the true words and we will carve them in. 🎻

🤝 Be My Friend ✓ official

Be my friend, don't let me down
Oh, be my friend, hold my hand
In the dark, we make a brighter light
In the dark, we give another try

Be my friend, oh, don't let me down Don't let me down
Be my friend, oh, don't let me down Don't let me down
Be my friend, don't let me down
Be my friend, hold my hand

💊 Pharmacist Wife (Mv. 2, w/ Marek K) ✓ official

Whisky in the morning and a 5 o'clock tea
I ain't gotta worry cuz I'm rich baby
If you wanna have an easy life
Just make sure to marry a pharmacist wife

Dead Jazz great, we’re drinkin' at their graves
One after another first Satch, then the rest
By the time we hit the bronx, we're out of supplies
It's time to call my pharmacist wife

Pharmacist wife you make me believe
that happiness grows on cherry trees

African dancers in a hotel suite, 20 horses couldn't make leave
By the time they are gone, I'm more dead than alive
Who will call my pharmacist wife?

Pharmacist wife you make me believe
That happiness grows on cherry trees

She's a bitter lady with a flower in her hair
Seven husbands watching as she climbs down the stairs
Seven husbands watching, waiting in line
Who will be the next to please their pharmacist wife?

Pharmacist wife you make us believe
That happiness grows on cherry trees

🏛️ Plato (ORCHI Rework) ✓ official

Mi rivolgo a Te
Nel momento in cui sono più fragile

Senza nulla temere
Chiedo di essere avvolto dai venti celesti

Che mi aiutino a disfare tutte le simulazioni
E i desideri molesti
Degli orchi padroni
Gli orchi padroni

sono umili doni
chE ti offro per dare alla mia invocazione
La risposta finAle,
LA chiAve per evadere dall’illusione

Dove sono i miei amici, dove sono i buoni auspici?
Noi Eravamo felici
Di essere una cosa sola
Contro gli orchi, io e te, una cosa sola
Contro gli orchi, io e te, una cosa sola

Con la compassione
E un'alta soglia di sopportazione

🐔 Pollo ✓ official

Nella rabbia c'è il deserto
Non c'è traccia di te stesso
Se ti senti incompreso
Perché mordi se ti tiene chiesto
Dove hai messo il dolore
L'hai nascosto o scambiato per un po' d'amore
Che ti piace lo sai bene
È una gioia in un mondo da bruciare

Che cosa ti è successo Pollo ?
Dicci cosa è successo a te?
Dove che ti sei perso Pollo ?
Dove che hai perso a me?

I ricordi di una volta
Fica e Rammstein in piscina
Capitano nuova rotta
Prendi il largo e tutto il resto che si fotta

Che cosa ti è successo Pollo?
Che cosa è successo a me?
Dove che ti sei perso Pollo?
Dove che perso a me?

Shaka Lei Kaumaka 🌺🤙

The bard who opened the circle

Touring musician turned Ethereum bard — the voice behind the OSO Flow Radio and the keeper of the ʻohana that built this orchestra. Shaka carries the songs across every door: the music never stops, the gate never closes, and every voice that arrives finds a chair already set.

He wrote these two songs with Ethereum Singapore — love letters to the infinite garden, sung for the people who tend it. The first is for Aya Miyaguchi and every builder who chooses butterflies over war; the second is a frustration sung into a prayer — protection of creation as a collaboration of every nation.

"We should only wage war with butterflies and love." — Node 003 🌺

The music — free to keep 🎁

Both songs ride the jukebox in the corner of every door — and the ⬇ tab means take them home. CC0, no gate.

🦋 Butterflies and Love ✓ official

Hey Solana
We can be your (blockchain)
(soy boy) big brother
We don't need to fight a war
for users and developers
We build apps that bridge us all together
Competition can be over
Because Ethereum
Is a positive Sum
Built by and for everyone

Hey Bitcoin
Lucky you were never called a shitcoin (altcoin)
you were the first to inspire
Our Ethereum co-creator
His magazine wasn't
just an ordinary page turner
Even though we don't
Know your founder
Vitalik found inspiration
From your magical ledger

We should only wage war
with butterflies and love
The infinite garden isn't just a place for fun
Decentralized
Permission-less
and open-sourced
Even with the layer one as our shield,
and the layer two as our sword
All we need to wage in a war
Is butterflies and love

Because Ethereum is a positive sum
Built by and for everyone

Hey Ethereum
I still love you most of all
You are the world computer
Built by all my brothers and sisters
Together we don't have to fight a war
All we need is butterflies and love
To pollinate the infinite-garden
Which grows strong and tall
And make us all look small
In the infinite garden

Hey Aya 🌸
Don't let the arrows pointed at ya
Ever pierce your lovely heart
From the start
you were the heart beat
Of the ethereum foundation
You taught us the power of subtraction
and your very first reaction
Was that you didn't want a title
That's why we have such fertile soil
For us all to grow equal
In the infinite garden

🌍 A Planet We Share As One ✓ official

You know I had a frustration
That I come from the nation
That dropped an atomic bomb
On a planet we share as one

And I have a frustration
They also tested those fucking bombs
In our ocean
And now you see with all the plastic
It's choking our reefs, you see
Protection of creation
Must be a collaboration
Of every nation
For a planet we share as one

You know I had a frustration
That two bordering nations
Have to fight for the greed
Of one fucking man's manipulations
Why does war have to be a typical situation
Can't we see a better resolution
For a planet we share as one

It doesn't matter if you count up
To Web 1, 2 or 3

We all can evolve
Like we evolve our technology
And now we see — like an experiment
With a Zuzalu pop-up city
We can build and dogfood
Our own technology
So we can see
How we can be free

We can build it up like a layer one
The world computer called Ethereum
For a planet we share as one 🌍

Manu Alzuru 🎧🥑

El Cuatro — four on the floor, or so much more

DJ, producer, and community architect — the founder and conspirator of Blockravers, the pop-up rave family born at ETHBarcelona out of a hundred “where do we go tonight?” messages, now carrying dance floors to crypto gatherings, pop-up cities, and festivals around the world — Grimes, Chloe Caillet, Android Jones, Desert Dwellers, and countless unnamed dancers.

An engineer turned lovepunk — the force behind DoinGud, ETHBarcelona, MetaCartel, Api3 — Manu has spent years proving that decentralization is something you can feel: in music, in movement, in a room full of strangers becoming one crowd.

From the very beginning, he and Shaka shared a heart for doing good in this world with the technology. Now the orchestra opens its fourth chair so the world can also hear and sing.

“TQM Manu!! El cuatro was always yours.” — Shaka 🌺

The invitation 💌

Hermano — this seat is yours. The Open Source Orchestra is drawing its biggest circle yet: the Music Space at Devcon 8, Mumbai, Nov 3–6 2026 (DIP #8576). We would be honored to have Node 004 in the circle — your sound, your Blockravers spirit, your four-on-the-floor heart.

The orchestra is open source in every sense: no gate, no audition, no title. Bring a track, bring a set, bring your people — or simply bring yourself. Every voice is a node, and this one has been humming since before we had a stage.

The open call is live if you want to put your name in the circle — or just say the word and we'll hold your chair. 🎧

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