Music Equipments
My sounds are "recorded" through mass breeding of rats and mice from my garage, each given miniature orchestral instruments. They tend not to sound too realistic. Sometimes, few greedy rats will start a riot against me due to the minute amount of cheese I've been paying them. So I have to put them down for good, or donate them to the local test laboratory. Which means it usually takes a long time for me to train some more of these rodents so I can record more music. I've also managed to train some of these rodents to program synth patches for me. Unfortunately none of these rats can sing, so choir tracks are usually a little more difficult for me to work with. Recently, I invested in a cattle prod, so I've been able to produce a little more music. But I think they've grown immunity to this device, I don't know how long this will last.

But most of the time I just use home grown sounds and not-so-special tools...

Source Codes
Occasionally, people ask me instructions on how my scripts/snippets/flash/code work. Some have even asked me to share the source code. Due to an unfortunate event that happened a few years back, I will refrain from sharing any source code. This is simply a minor measure to prevent history from repeating itself. However, I will still be willing to give guides and tips to aid in the project you may have intended.

The Flash MP3 Demo Player was built when I was just starting to learn actionscript. Some back-end functional components were built with unconventional methods or unexpendable concepts. Therefore, I am currently keeping the source closed.

The Last 20 Logger was also a hit from programmers. This script was modified from my original logging script which was the first logging tool in the Xanga community. I opened the source to communities and few months later, I was accused of copyright infringement. A valuable lesson was learned: No fair games. I regret to say that many users from the Xanga community aren't very responsible. Playing it safe is still the way to go.

Licensing Information
I originally had some other info here, but then I realized... I'm no professional, and I don't do this for a living. So really, if you've got a project, hit me up and I'll see to it. But if I don't have time, then you'll most likely going to have to persuade me with some sort of payment. But credits must still be given at all times though.

How to Credit Paul
To credit me for custom music, please contact me on how to supply credits in your project. The formats varies depending on the templates of your projects credits view.

On the other hand, if I have given you rights to use music from my past archive please follow this format:

Music by Yu Chen
Kaiyoti.com

Essentially, my band/studio name (Kaiyoti) should show up at all times. If you want to add "Paul Chen" or "Yu Chen" is entirely up to you. Keep in mind that even if the music was licensed to you for free, credits must still be given.

Free Music Usage
If there's a track that fits the genre of your project and would like the right to use it, let me know first. Most of my demo* music are free for use, but I stress the word "most". Please keep in mind that even for free music uses, I still need to be credited. You can check out the "Credit Me" link or you can always email me directly to discuss about the best way to credit me for my tracks.

Ways to Contact Paul
The simplest and quickest way to contact me is by email at:

kaiyoti.music@gmail.com

I check my emails on a regular basis so if there are no response from me within 3 days, that usually means the email was redirected to junk. Unforunately spam filter from the GMail service is locked and no modifications can be made. Try to formalize the emails as well as refering to me as Paul or Kaiyoti. It would also help if you refrain from using the words on the line of "pills", "meds", or "viagra" in the email inquiries.

I have recently introduced the google chatback on the top right corner. If you see a green circle, that means I'm online. Click on the link beside it to talk to me. If it says busy, then I'm busy, or maybe I just forgot to turn off the busy tag.

How to download music?
Due to various reasons, I'm not allowing public track downloads yet. However, there will be tracks available for download from time to time (check music updates). If you would like to download tracks for pure listening pleasures, fire me an email and I'll provide you with mp3 links.

About Me
Name: Paul Chen, Yu Chen
Band Name: Kaiyoti
Birth: 1986/04/01

Hi! Short story... programming and music arranging are my two primary interests.

I'm not a composer. This profession title should only be reserved for real composers. Not everyone deserves this title. With the vast amount of pre-made tools available today, anyone can buy some softwares and sound libraries and call themself composers. I mean, there are certain professional titles that you can't just use on yourself. If I know how to cook, does it make me a chef? It's pretty insulting to the real deals. The appropriate term should really be 'musician with aspirations for composing'.

Synth is my main dish most of the time. I'm not the guy that uses out-of-the-box sounds, there are always elements that I want to make changes to suit my needs. Sometimes I just sit in front of a synthesizer... turning and tweaking knobs. Currently developing some fake orchestral sounds from synths. I work with a very customized collection of sounds, instruments, and few older commercial samples.
