ugh..hi, my name's shawn phase. ive known alex for almost 20 years, i play drums in alex's live performances for the past, well i dont know how many years now. many years. i can play everything alex has written pretty much. ive also made two remix albums of alex's songs over the years. i really didnt want to make an account and post, but i gotta say that the way you guys are talking about my friend, one of my best friends, is pretty reptilian. the ones closest to her, like me, have tried to do everything in our power to help her. ive read this thread since about page 6 and seriously, close the thread or something. give it a rest. this situation is a nightmare for people like us who have known alex for a long time or are close to both sides, or friends with alex or any of the people who run the affected channels too. im feeling octofucked here and i keep coming back to this thread fighting making an account, well poof, here i am..
im pretty good friends with don of imagos, and ive endlessly talked to him and alex throughout this entire ordeal for months, trying to help them come to a resolution, any resolution. this spiraled out of control in ways i feared it could, but what you might not know of alex is how much of a pioneer she is to the whole chiptune scene. whatever happens here, let her have a little dignity. theres more going on with alex than i could ever get into anywhere with anyone, but shes helped me to become a musician as well as person i always tried to be. what she writes isnt easy to play. you gotta have a strictness for that and that applies to who you are as a person, its also what this entire thing is about regardless of how you feel about it. because of her, i was able to play music written by one of my top favorite composers of all for starr mazer. ive had other musical colleagues do bad things and wind up in jail, or worse, far worse, and i see them through what happens. alex is no different.
alex's music has had a big impact on an entire scene, as well as myself. but its one that people like her and i were the first generation of. people like virt who did the music from shovel knight, as well as bogdan from rephlex records. people like her really are one in a million where these haters are one in ten. anything you guys wanna say for laffs wont change the positive influence she's had on people, and i think that will win out in the end. that is all i can say really.
