Learn about international market trends            YECH

Exchange on important issues with other professionals    YES ESPECIALLY THE

BRUNCH? FOOD IS THE COMMON ELEMENT OF HUMANITY.

Identify potential new international business        I'D PREFER TO EMPHASIZE
THE DISCOVERY OF INVARIANT PEOPLE WHO DON'T SEE IT PURELY AS A BIZ.

EACH OTHER IN CANADA

Discover emerging markets                 LIKE THE THIRD WORLD ?

NETWORKS

DEFILTERING.

ONCE AGAIN MUTEK HAS COME THROUGH WITH ARTISTIC NETWORKS. BUT IT FEELS
INCREASINGLY THAT THIS OCCURS DESPITE A CONTINUED AND MISPLACED OVEREMPHASIS
ON BUSINESS TO ITS "PROFESSIONALS" -- TO ENSURE GOV'T FUNDING FLOWS. WITH AN
INCOMING CONSERVATIVE (MINORITY) GOV'T AS OF 20TH JANUARY 2006, I GATHER THE
HEAT IS ON TO FURTHER TRANSFORM MUTEK INTO AN ALL BIZ ALL THE TIME SUIT
GET-DOWN FOR THE NEWLY THIRTYSOMETHING POSTRAVER CAPITALIST. ANGELA MCROBBY
WAS RIGHT.

How many business-to-business meetings did you have at MUTEK 2005?
I BECAME SEVERLY INTOXICATED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE ENTRAILS OF BEAT MONSTERS
WITH MANY FASCINATING MUSICIANS AND TECHNOLOGY ARTISTS AND WRITERS.. I
AVOIDED ANY SUITS OR "BUSINESS" NETWORKING AND TRIED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE
BLATHERING OF THE BAR WHICH SEVERLY DISRUPTED THE OPENING OF JOHN DUNCAN'S
OTHERWISE BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE. ALL HAIL BACCHUS BUT THE FACT THAT
INCREASINGLY MORE AND MORE HUMANS ARE THERE TO PIMP THAN TO MOVE
REEMPHASIZES ONLY THE SUPERFICILIATY OF THIS ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC
"CULTURE." THAT IT CONTINUES HAS LESS TO DO WITH THE PUPPETMASTERS AND MORE
TO DO WITH THE FINESSE OF FINDING ONESELF ATTUNED TO SONIC MASOCHISM.

Which regions are you most interested in developing international business?
ALIEN TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE

Please name the countries that you are interested in developing business:

ART NOT BUSINESS DRIVES THE CREATION OF SONIC ATMOSPHERES - WITHOUT GOOD ART
THERE IS NOTHING TO SELL - OBVIOUSLY YOUR PROFESSIONALS AREN'T MICRO$OFT
EXECUTIVES - MUTEK COULD EXPAND INTO ENTIRELY NEW DIRECTIONS BY PUSHING
TOWARD ARTISTIC CREATIVE DOMAINS - AND NOT OVERDETERMINING AN ENTIRE SURVEY
IN TERMS THAT WOULD SATISFY STEPHEN HARPER - GIVEN THE DECLINE IN CD SALES
OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC ALBUMS, THE LACK OF AN INDUSTRY IN NORTH AMERICA AND THE
CONTINUING FAILURE OF HARD COPY MUSIC STORES, PERHAPS A RETURN TO ART RATHER
THAN BUSINESS IS NEEDED AS THE WORLD ECLIPSES THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR OF
2006?
