Who is 3phase?

Post by Sepp Ultura » Thu May 12, 2011 4:19 pm

I constantly see people complaining about posts by 3phase or 3phase himself.

Now, once and for all: who is 3phase and why is he supposed to be such a pain in the a***?

he is an amorphous imaginary being used by Ableton to frighten DJs into behaving. The monster has no specific appearance, and conceptions about it can vary drastically from household to studio within the same community; in many cases, he has no set appearance in the mind of a DJ, but is simply a non-specific embodiment of terror. Posters may tell their children that if they misbehave the 3Phase will get them. He may target a specific mischief — for instance, when he punishes fanboys who suck their thumbs — or general misbehaviour, whichever need serves the forum's purpose best.

In some Midwestern states of the United States, he scratches at the window. In the Pacific Northwest, he may manifest in "green fog". In other places, he hides or appears from under the bed or in the closet and tickles DJs when they go to sleep at night. It is said that a wart can be transmitted to someone by the brown henke dither.

He claims he is some big time DJ, but I for one have not heard his stuff, though I would like to.

I think the way he comes across on posts makes him a pain, but some of his posts do make sense.

i get the feeling he spends way more time talking about gear and posting on forums than he (or she) spends actually making or producing music. i could be wrong tho.

3Phase is Robert Henke's alter-ego.

He used an imaginary amorphous Ableton DJs act of terrorism. Shows no specific monster, and beliefs that can vary dramatically from household to the studio within the community, however, in many cases, he appeared in the mind of Jay, but he just non-specific form of terrorism. Posters can tell their children that if they misbehave 3Phase gets. He has a bad goal - for example, when punishing them Fanboys suck their thumbs - or general mischief, which is necessary to serve a purpose of the forum the best.

Some states in the Midwest of the United States, he scratches at the window. Pacific Northwest, it can be expressed in "green manure." Elsewhere, he hides or displays under the bed or closet DJs tickle when they go to sleep at night. He said that a wart can be transmitted to someone by feeding heat hesitation.

i guess the advantage to anonymity on this board is no one can just dismiss your comments as bullshit because they heard your music and don't think its good.

he's a ghost

he's a shadow

you turn to look and he's gone

leaving a trail of abused and whimpering words in his wake

needs beat repeat and some Rick Ross vocals. I'd fix it myself but Life keeps crashing on me.

first rule about 3phase is not to talk about 3phase.
but i will say this, there is a rumor going around that 3phase and John Gordon are working on an exclusive
beta of ableton live that is said to instantly kill the user as soon as Live is launched and the user thinks he or she is actually a musician, and it's a little known fact that they have been passing the beta
around to unsuspecting forum members who ask about either of them so..................i'd be careful.
