Orthogonon appeared, more or less, at some point, although accounts of exactly when and under what circumstances remain inconsistent. The people involved are believed to have known each other previously, though this has never been adequately established, and at least some of them appear to have been playing music before Orthogonon became a thing.

What that thing actually is remains somewhat open to interpretation. There are instruments involved. There are songs, or at least arrangements of sounds that have occasionally been described as songs. The number of members is generally understood to be greater than one, but fewer than several. Names have been mentioned. Some of them may even be real.

Orthogonon does not consider itself an origin story, a collective, or particularly interested in explaining itself. It simply continues to exist, apparently by accident, and makes whatever it is that it makes.
