"Divorce - Part 2 - Betrayal!
When naughty dog was clamoring for the music to be resolved, they went on a weekend vacation snow boarding and they took the whole ND staff. I was left to hire on a composer. Rob Biniaz suggested that I talk to ex-Devo Mark Mothersbaugh through some contacts he had at Universal. I invited Mothersbaugh to our offices and we hit it off! I hired him and gave him complete directions that we wanted for the music. He delivered big time! I thought that their work was genius and would be considered the new "Pop Culture" sound.
I was instructed by both Biniaz and Cerny in a meeting to instruct Mutato Muzika that I would be the "point" person, as there was a concern that ND would overwhelm them with too many chiefs!
When Rubin heard about this from Dan Kollmorgan, the sound driver programmer, who was told this by Jason(?) Mancell, Rubin called me into his office and after yelling at me threaten my life!
I told NO one as it did not intimidate me whatsoever! Rubin was just being a bully and he tried to bully everyone that wasn't a naughty dog!
Cerny did NOT back me up, instead he saw this as an opportunity to distance me from the project."


I want to add that Crash Bandicoot's music wasn't made by Mark Mothersbaugh, but by Josh Mancell, who worked for Mark Mothersbaugh's company at the time.
