Whatever happened to...

[Darth Magus]

K. Praslowicz? He was one of the best of the early OCRemixers, had some great metal tuneage, but he hasn't had a published mix since 2002. Is he still around? If so, it'd be wonderful if he posted again. That guy can shred a guitar like no one else on this site.

A quick google search says he's still around, but I didn't find any evidence of him making any music lately.

He's very much into photography these days, apparently.

(by the way, site staff: the homepage in his remixer profile recently expired. Might want to look into updating those...)

I've updated the info, so djp needs to make those updates live when he gets a chance.

[K. Praslowicz]

Not sure how well I could shred anymore, as it has been about two or more years since I really picked up any instrument. Maybe it is like riding a bike and you never really forget, but I doubt I'll put out anything new for a while.

I decided a few years back that if I wanted to make any art worth my while, I'd have to stop putting bits of effort into many arts and just focus my energy into one. Photography always seemed effortless to me, while writing and recording music was always an excruciatingly difficult task for me, so it lost out in the end.

Aside from that I'm also running a hopefully soon to be viral website iusedtobestupid.com

I do enjoy that I still have fans nearly ten years later. Good to know I wasn't wasting my time back then.

I got something fun brewing in my head for all the old fans. Expect another reply from me a bit later.

As promised, a gift! My collection of unfinished remixes that still have some value in listening to. Some stuff I found was really bad.

It's nice to hear from you, K. I always really loved how you were never afraid to let a full-on noise assault with the guitar. The Combatribes one is one of my favorite mixes on this site. It's good to know you're still around doing something artistic.

That was a fast reply

Really loved that "Martial Law" WIP. Love that track and haven't heard people do a lot with it. Your spin was nice. But keep up the pics! They look great! Peace.

The power of web analytics. Need to get in touch with someone, link to their website.

You see what happens when you mention veteran OCRemixers? They start coming out of the woodwork

...if only that was possible in GrayLightning's case... *sigh*

A clip of fear and sufferance has been my ringtone for about 5 years now.

Well that's like the fact that you never see Children of the Monkey Machine on the forums, or that he hasn't posted a mix in some time...but he's almost always logged into IRC, and he talks too, just not very often...alot of the old remixers still lurk around, but they've just moved on to bigger and better things...but I couldn't imagine not one remixer that wouldn't come back to the site where they had their beginnings...

[Darth Magus]

I had noticed the photography site, but, I figured it was sheer coincidence, even though the name is unique. Still, it is awesome to know that you're still around, Pras. I still love "The Smoking Guns of Liberation". In fact, in the game Audiosurf, I'm currently the world champion of that song using the Mono Pro character (not that my score can't be beaten. )

That's awesome that you do photography, though. I do a bit myself, though nothing major. I've got a few shots up on deviantart. I'm very glad that you shoot mostly using film. That's a lost medium these days. I do the same... all of my shooting is done on a Canon AE-1 Program. I'll put that up against any camera made these days and I promise the shots will be just as great if not better.

Good luck in all your endeavors. If you never make another mix, it will be sad, but, you play to your strengths, eh?

[K. Praslowicz]

I'm very glad that you shoot mostly using film.

Mostly equals 100% in this situation.

Also found this in the old OCRemix archives. Failed bid at a mascot I think.

Well there's always been a handful of remixers who NEVER post on the forums but are very much alive and reachable.

Some people simply aren't forum whores.

[m68030]

I embarrassingly easy to contact. You can probably even find a cell number if you needed it.

BTW k.pras if you ever come back to music, I still want to collab again.

Although I may not be a forum whore, I do take great pride in my forum user ID being 10 of 33,627.

What seams like years ago, I discovered music on RPGamer that rocked my world, it was a great version of Shadow's theme. It was my introduction to video game remix / re-arrangements. Needless to say who was the artist behind it.

Thank you for the great music, and good luck in all your endeavors.
