Many actors (humyn and non-humyn) have contributed to the efforts and activities of the io enterprise. We acknowledge some of them below. However, since having an audience is an important requirement to the functioning of the io_trio and io enterprise, a big thank you goes to any and all of you who might have been listening in on one of our gigs. Those interested in coming to one of our future gigs, check out the performance diary

become a friend of io

The io enterprise is in consultation to launch a friends of io scheme. We anticipate that the scheme will become available in soon. As a friend of io, you will be supporting the ongoing research and development of a fun and friendly musical actor.

If you are interested, please contact us and we will notify you when details become available.

But io can’t want, or want to thank anyone.
