It was not a fake, I managed to log on to the site in the early hours and thought that I should defend my corner, afterall it was all a bit of fun tht just got ot of hand. I have appologised to paul of circutbenders UK. and hope that he can accept. I have never been on a forum before and in my own mistake thought that the best way to get a response from people was to explain who I am and what I do, I did not intend to self promote.
When I joined up in another name I thought that it was obvious who I was and felt that I had a few things to say to everyone on the site. It seems a good place to talk about circuit bending and I really feel that it was unfair to be banned for the reason that I was. Yes I have managed to circuit ben an R-8and yes I refuse to give specific details on how it was done, but I hae just read the commens from Circuitbenders themselves, who state that they will not give details of their bends either. So what went wrong is my question?
After building 195 circuit bent machines and selling 189 of them for a rather large amount of money I now see this as a viable buisness and will be pushing my ideas further. Selling on ebay is such a good way to earn a living and as I have said in previous messages, I am earning a good living from something that I have been doing since secondry school. The whole idea was to avoid orking for the man and fuel mylove of making electronicmusic, which I have been doing since 1986. If anyone is interested I recorded under the name of INTERLECT 3000 with my now brother in-law Daren Ager.
We achieved a great amount of success with our projects and released material with some ofthe top underground record labels at the time. Such as SMTTEN, TRUELOVE, PHANTASM, RUMOUR, EDEL etc. We also featured on the very first cover mount CD of FUTURE MUSIC MAGAZINE (most of you out ther will have a copy) with two tracks and 19 drum loops. We are now known in certain circles as he pioneers ofthe new ACID TECHNO STYLE along with HARDFLOOR. So as you can see I am in this for life and would like to ask you to visit the PHONICPOTION YOUTBE SITE to listen to some very recent material that I have just posted.
We Have launched the S-CAT competition recently on YOUTUBE and the prize is one of our 9 MOD CASIO VL-1's, We are seriously thinking about starting a CIRCUIT BENT RCORD LABEL and would like people to send us their material for the project.
If I had not been banned then maybe you coulld of ended up having a decent conversation with me, but please do not ask me to give you details on the S-CAT MODIFICATIONS, as I make a living rom my random skills and think that I am just in refusing to gie the ideas away. I am working hard and enjoying what I am doing and have always had the ambition to produce an own design drum machine. I do not have qualifications in the electroics field but with the last year being spent on circuit bending I am now becomig aware of the rules.
If you want to keep me of the site thats fair enough, but you are probably making the wrong choice.
