Back to the music…
Casper van Vulpen has admitted that “I`m Not Crying” does belong to us both, 50/50. BUMA/STEMRA offered no help or light on the subject.
The facts still remain… Casper was asked to be professional and be a part of “Deep Sea Green”. He was uncooperative and then refused to answer 2 further emails. I confided and trusted the advice and expertise of Johan and Adam at Sellaband and Mick Glossop (the producer I put my trust in to make my album baby). Johnny Scott wrote and arranged new music for “Deep Sea Green”.
I have been told not to worry about all of the slander and defamation that Casper had written on his profile page about me. Goodness knows where else and to who else. Easy for internet users to search for more than one year.
I am left without support from Sellaband (my so-called record label who I am in a business contract with) or royalties (through BUMA/STEMRA) from my album. I am not sure whether it is just “Deep Sea Green” or the whole album that has been frozen in funds.
I have remaining promotional budget which is frozen.
The funds for “I`m Not Crying” are non-existent, as is any knowledge on the song. No-one has told me anything. I wonder what Casper has spent with his monies from it? A new pair of cowboy boots? Jeans? A car? I have neither seen, nor heard of any monies from this track from the time it has been released (in about November 2007, I was informed by one of my believers), to the present day.
I am left in the dark.
In my opinion, any one who thinks that this kind of treatment is right, is unprincipled and callous.
