because all you did was turn the volume levels on the samples way up.

i'm not going to get in a debate over this with you, but you're absolutely wrong. my remix was as serious and valid as any other and you are wrong to dismiss it just because you don't understand it. i really don't care about my track physically not being on the site, but i am highly offended that it was regarded as a joke. it just goes to show how seriously you treat other artists.

music is very serious to me - i'm a musician, not a hobbyist. i suspect that others who were excluded feel the same way.
at the same time, the internet and especially internet contests, isn't serious to me at all. but i do have to think of kochlear much differently now.

r40f i've been thinking about your comments ever since i was unfortunate enough to read them yesterday,
and i think i have finally calmed down enough to write a well thought out response.
i think that the problem here is a lack of understanding, thus i must take it upon myself to explain the
concepts of competition, what it takes to run a website, and respect for other artists.
now competitions have things called "rules" and "guidelines". if you read them, you would know that for
this contest we clearly stated there would be winners, runner-ups that appeared on an aud.stim
compilation, and the rest of the songs.
i was under the impression that we made this quite clear, and yet, seeing your mix wasn't one of those
selected for the comp you came on here to bring it up. now let me ask you...if we SAY "the best remixes
will appear on a compilation" and yours doesn't appear, what exactly did you expect the answer to your
question to be? we're sorry, but the only possible explanation that would have pleased you would have
been "your remix was SO good we couldn't possibly taint it by putting it on a compilations with shit
like sanguine and teapot's music." sadly, that was not the case.
now, you may think that this is all fun and games where i log onto the inter-surf and go "yay, time to
play god with people's lives! *click* you're on the site! *click* you're not!" however, i have to
read through approximately 20 emails a day, 10 of which say "omg hi this is so-and-so here's a link to
my mp3.com and zebox and mp3.com.au and wire.fm sites please listen to everything i have written and let
me know if you want to host me", and 10 of which are so unintelligible even hyakusen couldn't decipher
them: "HI THIS IS YOUR SITE FROM ASIA??????? WILL YOU PLEASE MY MUSIC!!!!!!" yet, i can't just blow
this shit off, it's part of running a site and maintaining professionalism.
after that's eaten up a few hours of every day, i

get to log onto my favorite file sharing/instant
messaging program (when it's not down, like it is now) SLSK. there, i get to deal with ignorant fucks
that do shit like create the slsk name "fuckearvalve" just to show their discontent in my existence.
then, after taking everything with a grain of salt and trying to remain lighthearted and humorous, i get
to log on to my favorite messageboard in the whole wide world and see people who know everything about
me and how my site's run say i have no respect for other artists, and call the site a place for
talentless idiots to feel better for themselves.
on some nights i get 2 hours of sleep because i'm uploading files and coding html until 4 am, and i have
a full time job to work to pay for things like electricity and server space to make the site possible.
yes, it costs money to run websites, and you might have noticed we don't charge site visitors a single
cent. this means i am making negative hundreds of dollars keeping this site active.
since i decided to take what was originally JUST an earvalve/kochlear site and change it into what i
ASSUMED was a helpful service for amateur electronic and post rock musicians, just like you wrongfully
ASSUMED yours was the only mix not on the compilation, i have had no free time whatsoever. i used to
happily spend the hours smoking pot and playing xbox, smoking pot and writing music, and smoking pot
while driving around smoking pot. however, the effort required to run such a site is of such magnitude
that i barely even have time to write my own music, let alone beat all my fantastic xbox games. i used
to love browsing all the NEW TRACK threads and giving my two cents, but since the creation of this site
there's no way in hell i have time to do that.
ask any of the musicians on the site who frequent the slsk room, i barely make any decisions on my own,
and discuss all my site ideas and concepts with all the musicians, and most of the time pe

people that
don't even belong to the site. rarely is a decision made solely by me, and most definitely the music on
the site is not even owned by me.
why would i do all this? why would i suffer through all the ignorance of the internet when i could
easily avoid it entirely like i did 2 months ago? it can't be because i have respect for amateur
musicians. it can't be because i love everything music related, composing music, and most importantly,
sharing underground music with people who've never even heard of the artists. that can't be it, it has
to be some self-serving, mean-spirited, goal i have that for some reason involves losing money, time,
and patience.
i'm gonna wrap this up now because it's getting long. maybe next time you feel the need to become a
prima donna, you can spend that time more productively, like developing beats and melodies instead of
focusing on blowing out my pc speakers and killing my cats. maybe instead of jumping to conclusions
that you HAD to have been the only one excluded, you could think for a bit before opening your mouth.
maybe next time you enter a fucking competition you can read the fucking rules and regulations. now i'm
certain phobes got 200 angry emails from the people that WEREN'T the 15 ae remix finalists, and i truly
feel for him, he is a strong man to take on such a task.
i'm certain i'm gonna be up past midnight now, tired as shit tomorrow at work, because i took the time
to type out this whole thing, but i'm fucking sick of being derided and ridiculed simply because i want
to help out a few extremely talented motherfuckers. how the fuck am i gonna run a FREE FUCKING MUSIC
ARCHIVE WHEN I DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS MUSIC? news flash: my dog can make an overdrive noise
remix of a song. anyone can. all you need is a spare 30 seconds and a wav editor.
now if you'll excuse me i have an appointment with a certain 2 foot bong to kill away the brain cells i

WASTED on your accusations. i am willing to just let this slide, but if i ever EVER see ANY kind of
post about me not respecting artists or their music, i will unleash a wave of hate upon you so severe,
skyfarmer and lasertooth would be shocked and appalled by the extremes i take.
*note i apologize for the poor copy and paste job, and if you're not r40f you don't have to read all those posts.

i was under the impression that it was stated that all who entered would be on the comp, and if i was wrong about that i apologize. if you don't want a firm response from me in the future, don't wait for days before responding to my serious posts with posts that say, "because all you did was turn the volume levels on the samples way up. " and then wait another day before saying anything else. i'm definitely not interested in discussing the quality of the track or the contest or getting into flames and stuff like that, lets please just drop this arguement.
also, i suppose many who read this will think that i'm a sore loser or something. that's not the case. i only make music for personal enjoyment, and never cared about winning any sort of contest at all. my problem was with what i felt was a discrepency in what kochlear said and did, and if i was wrong, i apologize.
also, i regret that we wasted so much space on this thread - it should have been e-mails. sorry everyone.
