Put My Name Down and Sobering View

AM — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:02:06 +0000

Disclosing not one, but two songs today:

Put My Name Down

For Put My Name Down I must refer back to my me-and-the-future post:

play

Sobering View

Sobering View is a sobering experience. I’m not sure I will publish the whole song as is. The above is its beginning only.

Cool, cooler, very cool!

“Japan plans snail-paced space elevator for 2050″

Another patient song: With Roses

AM — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:12:13 +0000

Another one of those songs I’ve just been keeping in the drawer for such a long time. Why? No good reason, so here an extract for you:

With Roses

This may the the softest, most gentle song I’ve ever made. “Doubts” may compete, yet it is another type of softness.

I hope I’ll manage to make full tracks available to you soon enough…

Cool, cooler, cold? Or none of that?

Here is a mail I am planning to send in a minute:

Dear Mr Cheiky,

After watching your talk on wesolveforx I’ve got 3-4 questions for you:
What happens to the carbon in the food produced in your concept’s cycle?
How are you planning to stop/regulate the cooling if/when required?
If the latter risk does not exist, how so and how will you tackle related pollution which is not mentioned in your talk?

Thank you in advance for your reply. Feel free, if that’s ok for you, to use the comment section of my related post (http://alevemine.com/2012/02/cool-cooler-cold), thanks.

Have a good day.

Regards
Alève

My name and I need serious help. An attorney.

Dear everyone, I have to tell you this because I can’t take it anymore. It’s been about 4.5 years, I’ve never been able to take it while remaining unharmed, and now I’m about to give in to the weight that has been crushing me.

I applied for a trademark for my name in the US. It was published in 2007. A large pharmaceutical corporation then opposed it based on a medication that they have, and we’ve been fighting over this ever since. For all I know I’m not an ingestible tablet. I do not have the means to defend myself. They used to have 2 lawyers on my back, now they added a third one that seems to act with a different goal from the other 2, and they insist on communicating with me separately. It’s like I’m fighting 2 different adversaries at once now. Over time I gained the conviction that they are not only after my trademark application in the US. This is my perception.

I’m not even David against Goliath. I’m an ant against Goliath and have been asking everybody I can think of for help. Those who first say they will magically disappear from the surface of the planet the next day. I finally thought of you. My last hope.

Do you think I should have a public fundraising to finally afford a lawyer -would that work? Do you know of a lawyer who would represent me on a percentage basis? Please say yes and stay on my side…

Thereupon, here a static visual work I’ve done today: “Alève And The Future”:

The specialized may notice that in this work, for the first time, I am interpreting a scene:
Max Klinger’s Eva, Opus III, »Eva und die Zukunft«

An important piece of information is not so visible in the above, so here a detail:

A new song of mine: Whatever I Do

AM — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:01:18 +0000

A song that has some history of waiting around. I’ve modified it a bit yesterday morning. It definitely has reached the precise shape it had to reach. If I ever make another version, it will merely be another version.

Here an extract for you:

Whatever I Do

“first transcontinental broadcast of a live event using IPTV technology standardized end-to-end by ITU”

AM — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:24:44 +0000

The cool type of history making: “ITU hosts transcontinental IPTV experiment”

And this is why it is important: “Standardized IPTV will lead to a whole new market for innovation, and ITU standards will ensure this market remains open, competitive and accessible to all.”

Don’t come and tell me in the future that you hadn’t heard about this. You can do that now. The next few weeks are also ok. No later than that.

“Astronaut suffers from reaction without chemical reaction”

AM — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:25:54 +0000

That was the title of an article I dreamed of last night. It might make sense to those who know that I’ve been writing a science fiction story.

Mon texte m’est monté à la tête.

It’s been a while and now it looks like it is finished. I’ll be looking for a publisher.

One man

AM — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:52:19 +0000

On this last day of the year, I’d like to thank one man. Initially a stranger, he saw my Cabaret Voltaire exhibition, helped me carry the pictures when it finished, and left. He didn’t ask for nor look for anything in return for his help. Admirable.
