Right away, you will notice that Anarkat tends to refer to people as humans, often conflates people with other animals as if they are intellectual equals and butchers his sentence structuring as if he were attempting to convey himself with a speech impediment, typically by incorrectly pluralizing words such as "peoples" mistaking "this" with "these" and mixing past tense with current tense. In other words, he holds conversations by pretending to be a cat macro.
He is also an anarchist and if I'm not mistaken, the first one on our board to be one. Also, yes, he's almost thirty.
He also claims to have cancer, which he abuses for pity points.
He returns less than a month later to brag about some photos he took.
He makes no mention of his alleged cancer from there on out.
As an anarchist, he is also a staunch anti-government insurrectionist.
INTRODUCTION
I would like to start this declaration of mine with a chain of light-hearted humors aimed at the offendeds, and the about-to-be-offendeds. On the past few weeks on the NG forums, I might appeared to be this pro-Capitalist, free-market, noob-hating, self-censored, rule-abided, pro-paid-work and circlejerking almighty faggot who semi-offended the good citizens and in support of the NG conformists.
The actual reality is, I'm running a series of self-deprecated, and self-ironic, deeply-burned mockery on Audio Portal and its users. The goals were to trigger newbies to be seriously offended (some almostly reported me to the admins), then comforting them with brutal reality of the Audio Portal and its people. If you were offended by your own irony, please leave before you being plunded too deep into this declaration of facts.
This post will probably trigger you to defriend, hate, 0-bomb or other means of attack against me. But, just like Jeroen Tel said on Skype, YOLO!
I officially declare myself to be an anarchist (nihilist/syndicalist/pacifist/queer), who wholeheartly support the abolishment of owning music (music should be free, forever). I'm 100% against copyrighting music software/gear/preset; and I have very special plans for my gigantic collections of music software, for all of yer poor musicians (yarrr pirate matey). Finally, yes I'm literally a faggot/queer/bi, and damn proud of it (seeing Skye coming out, I choose to do the same).
Whatever comes next is heavily salty, and I advise you to drink at least 3 litres of gasoline before setting yourselves on fire. Jk lol, it's very triggery for NGAP members. (I expect the number of people who unfan my starting now...3. 2. 1.)

GENESIS OF THE IDEA
For the past years on NG, I have been fairly liberal stance in term of agreement on copyrights and piracy. I would still have been a copyright defender, if not for the chain of 'fucking stupid' events happened with Audio Portal, and the mighty Forum. May the Lords have mercy on me for what I'm about to say next...
It was a nice evening in 2009-10 something, and like every evening after work, I browsed NG for salt crystals dropped by its users. However what came next was too much salt to take. The mind hive of NGAP, collectively lynched ex-law-abiding mod @HamsterCake for (accusedly) 'stealing' someone's music from some shit hole. Apparently, HamsterCake was accused to changing pitch and tempo of the original track and posted his version on NG. Here is a straight-edge disclaimer: My issue wasn't with HamsterCake (let's call him BroCake) making lame-ass music or being a mod, the actual issue is, how-the-fuck did the lynching mobs of NGAP figure out BroCake's track sound the same as whoever's track. I took many listens before both get taken down for an obvious (BroCake banned) and weird (original track on source taken down) reasons happened... THEY WERE DIFFERENT! Ignoring the accusations generated by the educated self-thinking mind-hive, and you listen to the two tracks. The damn beats were different. I couldn't fathom it. However this event is the rolling stone for breaking my faith in NGAP. Here is his burned ashes by NGAP Mobster .Inc.
In 2010, I only submitted a single track, because I was depressed and DGAF about music. Ironically, it's still my most popular track ever. 'Sorrow' is used in KeepWalking's animation and a few other. Anyway, the shitstorm started when some kid posted a review saying I ripped the chord progression from Requiem for a Dream's theme. Wait... wait a minute... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU "RIP" A FUCKING CHORD PROGRESSION? This shitty generic chord progression were being used by bazillions of music WAY BEFORE Clint Mansell (and I) was a fucking fetus. And oh my! The shitstorm became a shit-hurricane. Some highranking member of NGAP sent me more salty PMs 'discussing' about 'Sorrow' and its 'origin'. I told them all to fuck off. Til this day, I couldn't wrap my head around why did people so obsessed with copyrighting shit that is PUBLICLY available (if you dare to copyright music based on chord and progression, I'm going to personally murder you). So, the story of my life...
So in 2012 something, I made a foul rant that I would release all my DRM cracks to Github, on EWQL Play engine and iLok, after being tired of its inconvenient dildo iLok USB dongle. A bunch of people supported. Then, there are the snitches. And not long after that, I got a few fucking emails from EWQL lawyer/representative. I was in the warez community at the time, and was still serving in Canadian army. They threatened to prosecute me, along with other shit I did (iLok wasn't just the only thing I crack). I was officially and royally fucked; thanked to my loud mouth. So I quit the warez scene, removed all the hosted iLok cracks, and silently stay off NG for good in about 2-3 years.
What really killed my faith in this community of NGAP, is how they treat electronic musicians and newbies. Til now, I think NGAP is a collection of elitistic classical people. There were series of flaming threads, broke out of fights between two sides (e.g. BrokenDeck vs Chronamut). Classical people always loved to claim they were being oppressed (such as theories of how all the Top 5/Top 30 were EDM/dubstep/chiptune, EDM people vote manipulation/self-voting, other bullshit), when the truth is the electronic people are the oppressed one (90% of the frontpage features are classical/jazz, classical music got featured the most in flash).
Then of course, the debacle of remix, cover, and MIDI rip. For a decade, the classical cunts are the people who pushed against remixes/covers on NG. Even if you managed to use a single fart of Kayne West in your dubstep track, it would be flagged as copyrighted, and auto banned by mod. There are a reign of people who devoted every single second of their questionably well-spent daily time to report music suspected containing copyrighted samples. Oh, and their 'definition' on MIDI rip. Jesus fuck...
Do you expect elitists to treat the newbies nicely? Yeah you got it right! They don't. I have witnessed too many cases of NGAP circlejerks burning newbies with their superb reasonings. It was an absolute genocide. I also have lost count how many times I must send PM to the sad newbies, begging them to stay on NG, lying to them that NGAP isn't all terrible, after they got burned by elitist fuck sticks on Audio. I'm sick of it. I love NG very much. But the community is pretty toxic.
So yeah, I probably offended more than half of my fans and friends. What next is a bit more technical and will offend the music theory airheads. So if you are one, maybe leaving is a great idea. Shall we continue?

THEORY: CONFORMITY to CHAOS
Music theory is a form of control. Abiding to rules and following the orders of harmony. Knowing theory doesn't mean you will be successful in forming your own unique ideas. Although it seems like schools do teach people of being individual by taking theory class. Hence the overtly expensive and exclusive society of classical/film/game/jazz composers who go to Berklee or UCLA for their hipstery music courses.
In theory, like every other conformists who took the course, you must start from learning the basic of chords and notations. The problem here is you are forced to obey the rules of music, without learning about why these rules exist. It kills creativity, right from the start. If notation is chain and ball, then chord and harmonies are cage and prison. Locking yourselves in the prison of sound, and fooling yourselves to think that you're free to choose whatever. Your choices were dictated from the start.
My music have the transition of chaos -> conformity -> chaos. I started out as non-theory bloke who wrote weird shit. Then came the 'ugh' of trying to be a conformist, and writing generic orchestra shit. But I started to break free from it and return to my root, starting the with album "Reborn". My stuff has been fairly chaotic since then.
To an anarchist, statism is a threat to the people. To a music anarchist, theory is the threat to creativity.

GENRE: ACCEPTANCE to ABOLISM
The genre war between different kinds of elitist are boring and repetitive. It's always the same shit, either metal vs. rock, pop vs. r&b, DnB vs. dubstep, ambient vs. chillout, classical vs. jazz, and classical vs. everything else. Of course, there are people like me who work hard trying to unify the genres. And people kinda like the idea of genre fusion. But there are also those who strongly object it. There are times people told me that my music is out of place, either not classical nor electronic. Hello, geniuses! Of fucking course, THEY AREN'T meant to be specifically belonged to either genres.
My friend LSD made a thought-provoking blog about labelism. He hits the nail right on its head, as usual. Well, labelism is also relevant in music genre. We must abolish the label of genre. Genrism the difference of genres, like racism as the difference of races/enthicities, or classism and sexism. Instead, I advocate for the openness in fusion of genres. Meaning, no genre as all.
If music existed without border, then styles should exist without genre.

DESTRUCTION of VIRTUAL PROPERTIES
The idea of owning something started when capitalism begin. The music you bought, nah you never owned them in the first place. Your newly bought CD of Mozart is owned by that Sony produced company. The software you bought for your music production? Nah, you don't own any of it. They pre-emptively threatened you the law-abiding citizens in their ToS that if you dared to share it with your poor neighbors, you're fucked.
As I said in the beginning, I have massive plans for my massive collection of high-end music software. It's going to involve torrent, fast Internet, leukemia, chemo, last wills, and a coffin with my body in it. You won't be able to sue/convict a corpse, bitches! I'll be gone, baby, I'll be gone! Anyway, I won't last long and that's fine. But I will leave a legacy for those who are experiencing what I have been through in my music career.
What about all my music? From this moment on, all my music is FREE. Free as in freedom to distribute, use, modify, sample, rip, or whatever you want to do; for both commercial and non-commercial. Don't have to ask no more. Just do it! And it's up to you to credit me or not. They also include music belonged to KatMaestro. 'Cause, I am.
If the destruction of properties is the threat to capitalism, and the freedom the people, then so be it.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I'm sorry if I offended far too many people. I know, I shouldn't have made some stupid post. But I also want to have justice for the unspoken fouls created by the horrible and terrible people in the music industry, and the system as a whole. And I don't want to keep this secret forever, before my last breath. I want it out, now. So I take the risk, responsibly.
Life is weird, difficult, bittersweet and dope. As least mine is. But I will not let it leave in vain. Saying for something honest isn't a crime. (at least not yet)

In spite of being a commie insurrectionist who thinks the idea of intellectual property should be abolished because "it not fare" that you don't purchase the intellectual property rights to a musician's songs when you buy their CD, he has an incredibly expensive audio set up that he has spent & continues to spend shittons of money on. Here's his list of all the software he's bought over the ages.
