Come ricorderai Ten Walls ha fatto un po’ di casino con certe dichiarazioni su FB sulla comunità gay, con il conseguente danno di immagine. Dopo aver letto il nostro post e meditato per qualche mese, Ten Walls se ne è venuto fuori con delle scuse che suonano più o meno così:
I’m Marijus Adomaitis aka Ten Walls. Earlier this year I posted comments on my Facebook page, that I deeply regret. My post was linked to homophobia and was very offensive. I am ashamed to have hurt so many people: my family, my country, my colleagues, my friends, the Global LGBT community and many others. Since then I have taken time out to reflect on what I did and work out a way of apologizing that expresses how sorry I am.
I am saddened by my own behavior and the impact of my actions on others. I offended a lot of people, was the cause of horrible debates, wrecked both my own and the confidence of others and ruined the plans for many people I was working with. Understandably, I was labeled homophobic and I am not and never have considered myself to be this way. I have to tell you that my action was completely out of character and done at a particularly angry and stressful time in my life. This is not an excuse, but I would like you to know that the content of my post is not a true reflection of my feelings. For many years I have been happily working and collaborating with people from different cultures, religious and sexual attitudes. I have always respected everyone.
My post made no sense, even to me. I’m a musician. My music is for everyone in this world. I always try to unite people to promote respect, equality and tolerance, love and peace. It is my priority as a music maker, in music there is no space for discrimination. It is my intention to do something in my home country of Lithuania, to support LGBT groups and educate others on acceptance and tolerance. I am now part of a group of people who have created an electronic opera ‘Carmen’ with a strong message of this. I hope my involvement in this project will be the first step to educating others in my home country that homophobia is simply not acceptable and that everyone should be free to live the life they choose.
I am sorry for what I have done. I am sorry I let myself down. I hope you can forgive me and that one day through my actions and future behaviour, I will once again be accepted for my music.
Sincerely Yours,
Marijus / Ten Walls
(che lungoooooooo, speriamo che la sua Carmen sia meglio del Flauto Magico di Baricco).
Vabè, comunque poco dopo Mosca fa il simpaticone e risponde ad un commento negativo su Soundcloud con una parodia delle scuse di Ten Walls:
A Formal Apology:
I’m Tom Reid aka Mosca. Earlier this year I posted music on my soundcloud page, that I deeply regret. My post was linked to a Trevino remix and was very offensive. I am ashamed to have hurt so many people: Kris Montgomery, my family, my country, my colleagues, my friends, the Global raving community and many others. Since then I have taken time out to reflect on what I did and work out a way of apologizing that expresses how sorry I am.
I am saddened by my own remix and the impact of my actions on others. Understandably, I was told to “put some feckin effort in ffs.” I have to tell you that my remix was completely out of character and done at a particularly angry and stressful time in my life. This is not an excuse, but I would like you to know that the content of my remix is not a true reflection of my feelings. For many years I have been happily putting some feckin effort in.
My remix made no sense, even to me. It is my intention to do something in my home country of England, to support Kris Montgomery, his family and loved ones, to help them through these hard times. I would like to hold out my hand and formally invite him to my studio, where I will pay him handsomely for advising me on my production and effort levels.
I am sorry for what I have done. I am sorry I let myself down. I hope you can forgive me and that one day through my actions and future behaviour, I will once again be accepted for my music.
Sincerely Yours,
Tom / Mosca
Abbiamo raccolto tre (3) opinioni sull’argomento:
Opinione 1:
Ten Walls chi?
Opinione 2:
Mosca chi?
Opinione 3:
Entrambi escono su Innervision e fanno più o meno la stessa roba (ops), l’impressione è che uno voglia fare le scarpe all’altro. Certo, a questo punto suona più o meno come una forma di accanimento.
Volevo concludere ringraziando gli inventori dei social media tipo Facebook e Twitter: senza di voi dovremmo tornare ad ascoltare la musica.
