Re: the IDM shirts.... I think what was cool about the original shirt was
the minimalism of it. Adding a back or little slogans and things kind of
takes away from that. So I went ahead and had Gil do a scan of his original
IDM shirt which I'll get traced in illustrator so we can have a perfect
recreation of the original, with the original dimensions, placement and
colors (white logo on blue shirts). I'll also have some additional colors
done as well keeping the exact same logo and dimensions.
The profits from this shirt I will be donating to aid our friend and
listmember Brock Suter aka The Fisherman. Several weeks ago Brock suffered
an accident as a result of which he has sustained very serious and severe
head injuries and other trauma. Brock is now recovering but remains in
intensive care. Unfortunately when this accident occurred Brock was not
insured.
As many of us in the area know Brock has been an absolutely essential
cornerstone of the IDM community here in Southern California ever since
there has been such a thing, Dj'ing at countless experimental and ambient
events. He has been an invaluable supporter of both lexaunculpt and I, as he
has been to innumerable other area musicians, event organizers and Dj's who
were willing to take a chance and put their time, effort and money into
events and recordings of this music. Brock could always be counted on to do
whatever was asked of him and has constantly shared his love of music with
others.
For me, Brock's friendship (formed after meeting on this list many years
ago) has represented the very best of the amazing sense of community borne
of a mutual passion for music that the IDM list has the capacity to generate
both online and in the real world - which I feel makes the reprinting of
this shirt for his benefit a very appropriate gesture.
I'll have more details on the shirts once I have them made. Should any of
you wish to make donations to aid in paying Brock's medical costs, which as
you can imagine will be considerable, please feel free to forward them to
Orange at the following address and they will be passed along to Brock's
family:
Brock Suter Recovery Fund

Any other messages or well wishes for recovery you may have for Brock you
may email to me and I will ensure they are passed along to Brock and his
family as well.
Thanks, Gonzi.
