Hi I'm Jake Padorr and I'm a musician in Santa Cruz, California who records hours of improvised, celestial music using my vocal and guitar flow and organizes weekly public music gatherings at the Lighthouse on West Cliff.

The hard drive that contained all those Lighthouse soundscape recordings, as well as all the files for my next 3 albums, including material for our band, Flat Sun Society's next album, has unfortunately been damaged. Multiple local electronic repairmen investigating the damage all suggest using the reputable service DriveSavers (drivesavers.com) to recover my data. The service has the highest percentage of recovery success than any other company - up to 95% of data recovery as opposed to the next leading companies with 50 to 70% success average. I sent in my hard drive to DriveSavers and they diagnosed it and said there is serious damage but the files will be recoverable through their in-depth service, making their quote range between $3330-$3510 to repair. Their high success rate of data recovery & the intensiveness of this job (involving a data cleaning room and advanced data imaging technology) results in its priciness. Thank you for supporting my efforts to continue to share these beautiful soundscapes.
