Hey,
I can’t believe you managed to track me down. Thank you for your work uncovering Crash Test, I thought it was all gone forever.
I have one last piece for you and your researchers. It’s a demo recording of a music video for the song Crashout. Not sure how Teto did that cloning thing, or that floating thing, but it was a fun shoot. It’s what got me the gig at Pando.
The project was originally just an album, but then I wanted to turn it into a stress test program. Pando tried to turn it into an Edutainment thing and kick out our bass player. That was the nail in the coffin for me. I wouldn’t let them break up the band. They locked me out of the site before I could save anything.
The truth is there’s no definitive version of Crash Test out there to find. That place went through so many different versions, so much cut content, it was never finished. That version they released was just cobbled together and rushed through the door.
Everyone’s imagination of what Crash Test could have been is better than what I could have ever actually built. (don’t put that in your article lol)
I’m really glad the music was recovered at least. That’s really what all this was an excuse for. As for the listening party, I find it hard to relisten to my old songs, but I’ll be there.
