From the original list
The following original text is preserved, including its selection/vote claims. Preservation is not independent verification of every assertion.

Supplemental context
The nickname connects Sergey Stepanov’s saxophone performance with the later circulation of a short excerpt. A future archive can distinguish the group’s Eurovision song from the looped solo and the audience-made versions that gave it another identity. Performance, editing and reception are different cultural records.
Creator/community: Sergey Stepanov and SunStroke Project; later remix participants Place/era: Moldova; Eurovision performance in 2010 and subsequent internet circulation
Context and limits
The original description is retained as editorial source language. The picture uses a saxophone and decorative loop arrows as a metaphor; it is not Stepanov, his instrument, a Eurovision frame or musical notation.
