BOYCOTT NESTLE. STAND UP AND REFUSE GENOCIDE.

2010-04-13T04:37:00.001-07:00

every minute they along with corporations like tesco, herbal esssences and all the restaraunts & fast food chains you dine, nestle in are causing the absolute extinction of the rare orang utan species, while they decimate their only home for palm oil & sugar.

governments won't subsidize & retrain farmers in new careers, so they must do what they know - and corporations and people do all they can to ignore the serious issue so they can make more money and grow fat by eating millions of pounds of chocolate every year.

orang utans share 99 per cent the same DNA as humans - so really, this is corporations causing the mass-genocide of an already endangered species of life. buy or eat anything with palm oil or palm sugar harvested from the soon-to-be erased home of the orang utan, the blood is also on your hands.

stand the fuck up and refuse them.

there are myriad other ways to cook food & make chocolate. palm products are not needed. if the people - we - don't do anything, nobody else will. who wants a world where every animal is only a memory or an image file on an old hard drive?

humans at some point need to step back, say enough is enough, and actually give a fuck about the world they share with the rest of the species. we are animals too, but we currently behave more like a virus. we need to be better than this.

to see the destruction & loss of life up close, and the people devoting their lives to ending this chain of ignorance & bloodshed, please check out THE BURNING SEASON & donate money, aid or assistance to the orang utan orphanage.

UNLEASHED + UNRELEASED: THE REMIXES volume one

2010-01-08T15:19:00.000-08:00

during the last three years i was lucky enough to work with the sounds of some amazing artists crossing the borders of genre between industrial, rock, hip hop, goth, electronic, glitch and more.
i have decided upon some of my favourite remixes spanning my very first to my most recent. featured artists:

BLUT REAKTOR
CINDERGARDEN
DIAGRAM OF TRUTH
EMPTY
HAZMAT
IAMMYNEWT
LUCIDSTATIC
NINE INCH NAILS
SEARAD
STATELESS
SYNCHRO NINE FACTOR
and P45K

with the blessings of all the artists involved, we present to you this album, free to download as a thank you for your support of our music, in the hopes you pass it on to others to spread the word that interesting, unique, strange and original music is still out there amongst the ocean of major label garbage flooding the internet, radio & television this decade.

i respect and love the music of each artist i remixed and featured on this album, their music in their own ways has inspired my own since i've known them, and i hope this album inspires you to check out their original albums and ep's - trust me, you'll be missing out if you don't.

i have included links in the album art to each band's website or social networking site so you can explore and support their art directly. enjoy.

the art of others will always inspire our own.

friend & talented spoken word poet John Charles wrote in his blog about the concepts behind his new album Micro-Epiphanies: In Other(s) Words, which you can freely download here. it's a great album i was also fortunate enough to design the cover art for.

this was my reply:

i believe the majority of music lately, not just hip-hop, but in most areas, are riding on the backs of others - while claiming originality and pure genius at the same time. the pop world is flooded with deluded folks like this, also industrial music to a strange extent too, along with others.

i think creativity and originality doesn't necessarily mean every single sound, thought, utterance, concept has to be entirely unique and never before contemplated, more that something is cool and unique and original when all the elements of an artist's experience, even including sampling, paraphrasing or covering another artist is done in a way that is different and exciting and engaging.

i hope my music stands on its own as a P45K song, but i also proudly wear my influences and inspirations at the same time.

i do my own thing, but i know those flavours are interwoven in my style or sound, but i'm not ashamed to say so, or to claim those elements are completely never-before-heard, whereas people like lady gaga and the rest of that scene, or the industrial club scene, or the littany of bands now emulating the sounds of the 80's all seem to be declaring their genius, when in fact they are the same as everyone else.

i think what you learn, what you grow up around is almost impossible to break away from subconsciously, if it had an impact on you, it will remain in your being long after, and will likely bleed through in new forms down the line.

embracing this is healthier than trying to outrun it, and being able to say "yeah. these guys were a huge inspiration" as opposed to "im a creative genius, better than the beatles!" or something equally stupid is something i respect.

talent takes on many forms, and the ones who talk least about their own skills are usually the ones who have the most blessings in their art. there is always something new, but at the same time the past is ever-present in our consciousness.
