i decided to start a blog, because there is something i'd like to share with you... sit back and read :-)
couple months back, a guy named G.P. pm'ed me regarding my very first youtube video shown below.
he was interested in making a track with the melody i created in this video and claimed if the track gets ever released, he will give me credit (of course) :)
i saw it as a challenge so i recorded it as a MIDI file (with a bit of trouble), also rendered the final audio file and sent everything to him (i still got all the emails that we exchanged)... well i was excited and curious how will the track sound and told him that i want be the first person that will hear the demo... "no problem", said G.P.
after a couple of weeks i got message from G.P. saying that Thomas Bronzwear (i'm pretty sure that if you like uplifting trance music, you're familiar with his name) claims that the melody is his and the label refused to release the track... "oh, well" i said to myself... at least i tried :-)
today, while chatting with G.P. who told me that the melody is really strong but it won't be released due the Thomas Bronzwear issue, i decided to do a little research and guess what i found... (go figure)
track called "the republic" by G.P. released on vandit digital has been played by paul van dyk and several dj's without my permission (or at least notification) or given credit.
see videos below (for the pvd set, you will have to rewind to 9:40)
well, now i'm confused... should i be happy that my melody was transformed into a track that was being played by paul van dyk, or should i be very pissed off that some guy fooled me and stole something that i created...?
i will greatly appreciate if you leave me a comments or send me message to let me know what do you think as well as let gary proud know what do you think about his way of making music (and money)...
and btw. my video has been uploaded on jan06.2008 and as far as i know "the republic" was released on may07.2009
i'm not going to make an big issue of it... i just wanted show how the showbussiness is just hunt for the money and people get easily spoiled with it. it's not about music as an art anymore... i'm living example (i'm not the spoiled one :-) ).
laters...
