Wikipedia never her.

considering today's ILE antics, the revival of this thread is well-timed indeed ...

I thought this was gonna be her trying to do some kind of tie-in of herself with the joyce hatto fallout

I tried (as I do occasionally) to search around the 'net to see if there is any trace of recent activity. Her stage names, her 'real' names, all to no avail.

The only thing I found was how she'd managed to get the internet archive site to destroy all the 'archived' versions of her websites from her database with threats of legal action etc.

Oh, and I did find her birthday, funnily enough.

But no, her email addresses are all deleted as well. She is truly off the net.

Ah well, best wishes and all that.

Future generations will remember her by this thread.

Clear Channel is selling their radio stations..the music on the radio is even worse. I am not interested in the commerical world..
and either are alot of people...
They are destitute. Who wants them stalking me why they count their pennies and abuse people who could have made them money.
??These people are broke..
People who mocked me on the net because I against people selling low quality to the public, have serious problems.
I am anti-establishment.
YOu people are conformist...jumping on any bandwagon...
and against me because I stand for something..and I received alot of abuse who think that this low quality should be acceptable.
I have made recording for the last two years...100 percent improved..and mastering them..
don't want to be famous for selling cds for 1000's of dollars.
I will be known for my music, not for selling cds at high prices.
This fixation with prices and not the quality of music, has basically turned me away from you people. My music is selling for 20 dollars..
I still dislike Banjos and Americana music and Americana bluegrass...
I like European folk music and other cultures other then English American. I do not fit into the matinstream mold...
which is stagnating.
They are constipated and going nowhere. I am also finishing school. I am so busy that I can't speak to you...I work 24 hours a day.

― marissa, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

You never her.

― Noodle Vague, Monday, 12 March 2007 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

my music has been totally transformed from demos to professional cds and not for commerical purposes. I am interested in aesthetics.
Beauty. High quality. High levels of beauty.
I have worked myself to the bone on these recordings..which I am professionally mastering.
I speak to mature people. People with mature minds.
I am not interested in fame, or attention. I am interested in beauty and aesthetics.
I like refinement, elegance, class...softspoken people, who are sensitive and kind.
I like it when people are polite. I do not want to be compared to two years ago.
I have matured alot.
My music is for mature audiences...even mature minds at 11 years old.
when I was 11, I was not interested in alot of commerical music...if it wasn't good.
Sorry, I can't trust you people since you are not anti-establishment. I am not ashamed of being anti-establishment. I do not appreciate tastelss people in the commerical world.
They don't appreciate me.
Or people like me.
that is o.k. I don't feel rejected. I have a certain fan base that will love what I do.
I am not mainstream, nor am I catering to mainstream culture, which is stagnating, and completely constipated.
I am a mature person, and a serioius musician. I think my little demos were nothing compared to what I have done with them...
and my new music...i have really progressed. I have not talked to people on the net for two years.
I am engrossed in putting out quality music..that is difficult..

― marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 00:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I made sure that you will not find my new website.
You are not anti-establishment.
None of you are. And I want a clean start with people who are like minded.
I don't want to be part of mainstream culture, nor do I feel guilty or ashamed of this.
I am not interested in spineless people who hop along bandwagons.
I am not spineless and not weak, yet I feel better starting new..I definately will never give you my site address, because none of you people are the kinds of people that are anti-establishment and against mainstream culture.
I can tell that.
I have nothing in common with you, yet there are people like myself who are anti-establishment who think as I do. I do not go to commerical movies..do not support hollywood. I do not own a T.V set and I am interest in beauty and aesthetics and high quality music that is considered to be sophisticated in some respects, yet some of it is simple and yet I focus on the emotive quality and content that brings it alive.

jon to thread

― M.V., Tuesday, 13 March 2007 01:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I am a very low key person who doesn't enjoy the limelight or alot of attention.
I have alot of artwork instead of my face on my new site..and I really don't like the commerical world...
and don't want to be friends with those people or people who like the commerical world.
My friends are very anti-establishment and very anti-mainstream culture. We have backbone. We are not trying to make waves..just playing beautiful music, quietly.
There are people who don't want to be part of mainstream culture.
Even if the culture was more refined, I sill may be anti establishment. that is my personality. I don't like to follow...
I am not a sheep. I am a liberal...openminded and wanting to progress.
I am a progressive thinker...
I have always been a person who just thought what I thought and didn't care if I made friends.
When I create music, it is from my heart and a place that I think is genuine...
not for commerical purposes or to be a popular person. I will be popular with the people I want to be popular with. I don't want to be popular with mainstream people.

Welcome back Marissa!

I've chosen a new display name in honour of your return.

Marissa, nice to hear from you!

I can guess the answer, but do you have a track you could contribute to the ILE 'various artists' compilation?

Best regards, once again.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:40 (seventeen years ago) link

hi mark and all,
my message to you people is that you should go on the net and search for culture and beautiful music on a professional level.
i don't believe that most of the music in the commerical world passed 1975 was on a real professional level.
..or even tasteful.
there is so much music to listen to and it is not in the pop/rock genre.
I am not mentioning names, but someone here said that I am in the niche of someone that isn't on a professional level...
she is on national t.v, but isn't on professional musical level.
because someone is on t.v, doesn't make them a professional musician.
I m not posting anything on this board.
This whole site is about commericalism.
there is so much music out there on a professional level.
I don't want you to find me, because you call me Marissa Marchant, and I do not want people associating me with that name. The music industry is filled with sick people who support their noise..and they are now against people who are not producing noise.
Joachim insulted me and said that I am beneathe a banjo player...who isn't that talented....
and other people here compared me to Johanna Newsom, saying I am just like her.....
I am nothing like the commerical world...I am on a high professional level...and now my recordings match my level.
They are not rough demos.

am I like Johanna Newsom? Am I in her niche?
That is an extreme insult..and all you people do is try to bring professional level artists down to the level of an amateur.....
If you like popularity, go listen to Johanna Newsom...and the radio.......

If you are not against commerialism, I am not talking to anyone of you anymore.
I don't care how much you try to act as if you like me....
you will never find me, I have made sure of it.

― marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not an amateur...the commerical world is now on an amateur level.

Even though some of the production isn't bad....my production right now is sometimes better then what they have ......
production level isn't the same thing as quality of writing...writing on a professional level or singing and arranging on a professional level.
My music is on a very high professional level right now...my production....arranging and writing....

my demos are no more....

yet there are many people on the net who are not doing mainstream music who are just as worth listening to as I am....
you only talk about commericalism which is amateur hour...

it has been for years...most of what they are doing is on a amateur level.

― marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess that's a no, then.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link

you are only into commerical music, so I don't think you would like my music...since all you people talk about is commericalism....

― marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

btw Joachim was a manager...in nyc for people who were amateurs and he insulted me on the net.....

he was connected only to people who promoted amateurs...

he thinks that this banjo player is better then I am.....

he is making no money......

he goes to see amateurs play live.....

the guy from Joe's pub said that he might be able to get me a gig at this place...might.....
but then said that he can't make me promises and said that he liked britney spears....
and they give gigs to amateurs freely.

so I advise you to go listen to amateurs...if you like the new commerical world.

I am in school....I have to finish up...and don't have time for this..I have to finish a chapter today...
and finish things with my music....

there are many people who have talent..you focus on me, because i insulted a celebrity...and you want to get back at me and demean me.....
you are part of the commerical world, which is against all creative, productive artists..and professionals.

also, this article in SF weekly, made it sound like my whole life was ranting on messages boards and that I am just another singer/songwriter..

My classical music has been played on major classical music stations...

Most of my life hasn't been on the net...
Most of my life is working on my craft....
not toiling around nyc...

i studied Bel canto singing for 13 years...
and studied classical piano...and guitar...

and most of my life has been consisting of working on developing my skills.....
these raw demos on the net were not a good representation of what I am doing as a musician...or who I am.....
recording is extremely difficult...therefore...I do not have time to chat on boards.....

That article was extremely disrespectful....

They implied that I just rant on boards....
I want to be left alone....

you can rant on boards if you have nothing to do with your time...
but I am too busy to insult celebrities....
if you call them real celebrities...

I have a life.....
start searching on the net for obscure music and you will find alot of music to occupy your time....

― marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

After all this time I'm still at a loss about what you are/were trying to achieve with your interventions here and on other message boards, but your last couple of sentences sound a bit closure-like, so good luck and farewell.

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:21 (seventeen years ago) link

The sad thing, Marissa, is that you are actually defeating your own chances of achieving any level of success or even building a following by refusing to give your music to people who genuinely want to hear it, and then using some sort of nonsense about "professionals" and "commercialism" as an excuse. Get over yourself.
