      Re: BT robbed AGAIN!

      My understanding it that BT went bankrupt having to defend a stupid lawsuit (i.e. typical lawyers being opportunistic leaching money over nonedescript case as usual). Now BT puts his money back into creating music and writing ground-breaking music software that others in the EDM music community will, ultimately, benefit from - that is, regardless of the style they play out or whether they like BT's music (or hairstyle for that matter). I feel sorry for any Artist, Musician, DJ or Producer that has his or her gear stolen.

      This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

          here it is

          the 06
          Current mood: rushed
          What a journey this year has been. One of the hardest, most confusing, turbulent, powerful, constructive, exhausting, overwhelming, important, frustrating, cacophonous, yet creative and beautiful years of my life.

          I gotta admit.

          Not one that I will be unhappy to say goodbye too.
          With exceptions of course. What a beautiful year of growth watching and parenting Kaia. Watching her walk, sign, speak, swim?..beauty indescribable.

          But personally, a train wreck, four huge legal wars, that alone have not only eaten my savings, but have put me so far in debt it may take me years to recover?.that is if I escape bankruptcy. One lawsuit is ongoing. There is a guy in New York, that claims ONE loop on my sample CD (a one bar loop) is his. A composer used it in a Pfizer commercial and he heard it, say?s it?s his (I made the loop in Reason in about 5 minutes, and furthermore after paying a musicologist 10,000$, found out that it?s the first beat in the book ?Intro to drumming?, literally the first beat they teach you when you learn to play drums). Well how?s this for the American legal system?..

          He is suing me for 10 MILLION DOLLARS.

          Not joking. He?s also suing East/West the company that distributed my CD for 10 million dollars and Pfizer etc. We have done FFT analysis of the loop, showed the judge waveforms, etc?..does not matter, in America, you can sue anyone for anything. Here?s the kicker?..I have to pay for my own defense, and this guy has some ambulance chaser attorney working on a percentage with nothing better to do than try to force a settlement with a huge corporation, and some guy that just loves making music and sounds, so he can sit on his ass and smoke weed all day. I swear sometimes I want to renounce my citizenship.

          Anyway, all this anti-legal, expatriate sort of stuff may be coming from the fact that I am in one of the most beautiful, eco friendly, amazing people, food, diving, jungle, unreal places on the planet?

          Costa Rica

          God can I rant sometimes, you should try being in my head. Can you imagine borrowing someone else?s thought process? I bet that would be the most confusing but cool thing ever. Just as long as you could make it stop when you wanted. Some straight William Gibson stuff. I heard that Nicoli Tesla (one of my SUPERHEROES) was working on a medium for recording and playing back thought when he died. PS: almost all his discoveries were made classified and his citizenship renounced after his death. The government also took all his works in progress and notes, none of which have ever been published. We get the Tesla coil and the neon light?..meanwhile, it is rumored (yet highly corroborated) that he also invented means for group thought entrainment (see HAARP if your interested, but get ready to walk down a dark scary path) and wireless power. But I suppose it made better bombs than commercial technologies. Can a mofo at least get some wireless laptop power? Lol

          Anyway, I am at a dusty sweaty corner in Montezuma, a cacophonous overture of languages and colors flurrying around me. The green is truly greener here and the sky in bluer than I?ve ever seen. This is a corner, throbbing with life and culture.

          I am growing weary of growing weary of the way we live in Los Angeles.
          I am tired of complaining.

          It?s time to slowly act. Or more act cautiously with speed.

          I love what America stands for and is founded on. What a beautiful document the deceleration of independence. Beautiful like religious texts and full of altruism and clear intention.

          Now we are starbucks, and consumption, FOX news, persecution of peoples of other colors and religions, a country divided, segregated, separated and unconscious.

          Not all, but most.

          What did you do today? Go to work, slave for someone else, put yourself further in debt paying for food and goods on credit cards, had your buying preferences ranked and logged in a database that categorizes demographically buying habits and preference so you can be properly marketed too.

          We are fucking sheep.
          Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

            Where was BT at when things were great for him? Remember Q6's rant?

              Wow that is absolutely terrible. I cannot imagine recovering emotionally after the first robbery, but the second time is just gut-wrenching. What is this world coming to? The man's heart and soul was in that laptop.

                maybe he did it? hey, any publicity is good publicity, sounds like his move for a non-profit is what was more important, but in any event, I have had stuff stolen too and nothing makes you more sick than that. money is one thing but things are sometimes harder to re-coup
