!: weekly :
This week! I have been mostly eating... DISTANCE!
! interview !
PsychicS hello distance! can u please answer the normal 1st
interview question... what is your name?
distance helou! my name is esa ruoho. lots of people have trouble
believing it though
PsychicS and date-of-birth
distance i was born 26th of october 1978. that makes me 20
PsychicS why do ppl dont believe it?
distance because ruoho means weed or grass or hash or pot in
finnish or grass that can be lawnmowed
PsychicS ah! that means your mother needed some pain killers to
give birth to you then no?
distance no, but the doctors told her that itd be better to abort
me because she was too old in their opinion to have
another child she didnt agree with them so im here i
dont know about painkillers i also dont know what
possessed my distant relative to change to the surname
ruoho
PsychicS humm
distance muhmu.
PsychicS why do you always name your tunes like that?
like... muhmu
distance mostly theyre temp names. when i save a song im working
on it has to be called something.. sometimes a name
springs up. sometimes i use an anagram of lackluster..
about 90 of the time its totally random. there are times
when a suitable songname springs up out of nowhere but ..
i couldnt care less what theyre named like.
see md/fm/tpolms Appelsap for instance.. none of the
songs have any names.
PsychicS yes! you trying to compete against md? is that what you
are trying to say?
distance and somehow ive gotten enough of these the ultimate
sadness reality of rain love dragon secret porno
i dont compete against anyway. if i start comparing my
stuff to anybody elses, i lose. always. md is far far far
ahead of me. come to think of it, every composer in tpolm
is.
PsychicS tell me about your first party! demoparty that is.
not birthday! :
distance assembly93..
PsychicS you dont think too much of yourself... but... back
to party... tell us about the enviroment in there
distance it was.. interesting. i went there with 2 schoolmates and
just sat around watching people and machines. it was an
overwhelming sensation. everyone was so big and i was so
little
PsychicS did they beat you up and made you track? was that how u
became involved in things?
distance i think i was about 13 or so. there were classrooms where
groups had been established .. and people walking around.
nobody beat me up, but when i was sitting somewhere some
guy threw a pornomag at my lap. i missed the democompo at
asm93 cos i was too tired. i listened to most of the
musiccompos tho.. and the introcompos. i didnt really
walk around the large hall -- and i did see the dance
nation live dance nation consisted of captain and some
other persons
PsychicS dance nation?
distance yeah.. dance nation produced a few singles and at least 1
album and a musicvideo which was played at asm94.
there was also the mighty rubberboots live at asm93
which was sort of fun
PsychicS the mighty rubberboots?
distance yeah, the mighty rubberboots.. i actually found a vinyl
by them last year.. all i remember about it was that it
was fun and they looped the sample from monty python
there was much rejoicing a lot
editor: hehe! and there was much rejoicing! :
distance about tracking, no, they didnt make me track. i remember
i tried to do a logo for my board then it was called the
lucid dragon sbbs but it was horrible work
PsychicS lucid dragon? how did you came up with that?
distance i dont know, first i had a board called hectolyzer
hectobbs which concentrated on .. shudder .. different
versions of packingprograms.. i wanted all pkzips and
pkunzips around..
PsychicS how did you enter computer world? what was your first
computer?
distance when i was about 2 my father had built a machine from
instructions.. it was called telmac. he also had a
telmac 600 or something.. i remember i used to play a
spidergame with it. i somehow liked the asm93 introcompos
because every intro seemed to have a dragonball in it and
everybody was getting a laugh out of that.. plagiarism on
both the pc and the amiga front! i think i also saw some
guy from virtual dreams doing 242, because he had at
least 50 disks full of animations that he was crunching.
PsychicS 242?
distance 242.. an amiga demo .. i guess it was one of the first
with a *shitload* of crunched animations
distance it had papa smurfs music..
PsychicS smurfs! smurfs are good! :P u can never have too little
smurfs! : telmac? Whats a telmac?
distance telmac -- i guess nobody knows it anymore :
PsychicS what is it? im not good with old computers. all i know
is the speccie! :
distance then came atari 800xl, atari 600xl atari 320xe.. salora
fellow.. c64-c128-c128d .. amiga.. more ataris...
i dont think youll find any information about telmac
at all anywhere.. : i dont think it was a popular
machine. atari800xl had some nice demos tho...
PsychicS i guess not : anyways... fastforward... you are finnish
tracker now... what have you been doing lately?
distance im working at a computerworkshop learning networking and
tcp/ip crap.. err.. not really learning cos i cant
understand anything about subnetmasks and how to count
how many machines go behind a server or something
PsychicS so that means you may be a net-god on an upcoming
party? :
distance i very much doubt it.. but perhaps i am useful if all you
need to do is have a guy running around with cable on his
hands
PsychicS LOL! how did u start with tracking again?
distance i remember i heard this track at a 20 minute mac
advertisement which was a jarre song i had heard before at
a friends, i tried to track the melody as best as i could
on a500 and i played it to my friend who had the cd it
was from via the phone.. he couldnt remember anything
like it it was totally the same and so i guess i got a
bit annoyed and left it at that.. then i went to ibm
ps2/10mhz and used fast tracker 1.. couldnt understand
anything and tried some commands and i did like total
noise, totally absurd tempochanges and mainly just
lamersongs with haahaafunny craptexts and shit.. whenever
i tried to do a song i ended up with virtually no rhythm..
i couldnt be bothered to count the rows at all.. it was
too timeconsuming!
so my rhythms had no rhythm.. and .. well.. theyre
horrible : .. i moved to ft2 in 94 or something, still
couldnt do anything with it but now i had envelopes and
was happy for a while until i understood it was still
total crap because i didnt really track songs!
PsychicS unfortunatly u never changed! lol sorry... couldnt help
it... go on... editor: just a joke! :D
distance i moved to screamtracker3 and i did a silly gabbersong
with it and i was really having fun with the interface cos
it was so fun and simple and easy.. i really loved it. and
after i had vented my frustration into that song i did a
song that became my first real song it had a sinewave and
it sounds like a silly childrenlullaby. i even used tone
portamento in it and it was .. just too cute to be
believed. and i was happy with that and continued to try
out things in st3..
PsychicS until...
distance at one time in 95 i had given a lot of my songs to dune
and i was at his place and he loaded one song up and then
tracked a lot on it and the melody turned out to be a
masterpiece
distance i looked at it and learned arpeggio and vibrato and stuff
like that -- and i guess i wanted to try and be a bit more
patient with tracking.. so i guess i started to try and do
songs in 96 or something..
PsychicS and that tune was...
distance the song was never released of course. it was just some 0
pattern thing which dune upgraded
PsychicS : ok...
distance by masterpiece i mean that my silly melody actually fitted
into the stuff he did drums + bass + arpeggio
PsychicS lol
distance in 95 i was having a ball doing songs in 2-3 minutes.. i
loaded up a chiptune and just did a drumpattern like this:
asdiofajoi4ejr5o235josd .. then the melody:
ajeiworjaosifgjio and then the effects:
ejafioasiojafadfoij1309401394014 etc..
distance theyre still pretty damn strange and wicked songs.. :
even tho theyre out of tune and nobody wants to hear them
PsychicS lol! thats what experts call: inovation! :P
distance i put about 8 of those songs into my chipcompetition i
held in my board c.o.s. another namechange
distance then mirror/symptom and human/a-men came and judged all
of the chiptunes and they were like were going to beat
up the guy who did this crap.. shit he is fucked and
annoying.. why does he do this? .. later i told mirror
that i had done them and he was aghast at himself and
said sorry! i was just mostly having fun.. i think...
PsychicS bahahahha
distance i got onto the internet in 95 when i started studying in
helsinki business polytechnic.. it was fun. the net not
the studying.. i dropped the studying and started ircing
all the time
PsychicS lets speed up the history
distance oh theres lots more where that came from
PsychicS i know! thats why i wanna speed up! :P
distance i tracked and tracked and tracked and tracked
then i released m
PsychicS m?
distance m.zip
PsychicS ?
distance i guess nobody liked it.. but it was used in cheese
diskmag
PsychicS i dont have it!
distance i did i guess 3 songs for cheese diskmag i guess you
havent heard of cheese either have you? :
PsychicS i heard about it... never seen it!
distance it was done by a friend called multiplex.. i can email
you all the releases if you want to. or grab them from
scene.org
distance it was not very serious! it was released like every 2
weeks. i guess all of the interfaces it used bugged
really nicely
PsychicS dont loose the point! m got released and...
distance anyway i got a lot of feedback in 95-96 from people on
irc and i was tracking all the time
distance m got released and nobody said anything.. after a few
months i released n and fumbling and stuff like that..
but they all sucked. then i put together uda talks to me
before assembly96
PsychicS yes... uda talks to me
distance anyway, a lot of things changed after asm96! i started
smoking pot, which probably is the reason why uda is my
only real fast song. i started using IT in the beginning
of 97 or something i guess and later on h0l/monotonik put
out a guestrelease called infinite ep. i was happy since
mono was such a great group.
distance anyway 97 was where it all started i guess... i met
brainpower and there was this demo for tp7 and just me
tracking a lot, stoning a lot and then of course visiting
tp7. in 1998 i joined tpolm and got a directory in
scene.org and started having trouble tracking in summer or
something. now im here and i havent really done anything
PsychicS who is brainpower?
distance brainpower is a guy who wrote an article to traxweekly
when it was still released about dune and i replied to him
about it and met him at asm97 and gave him a lot of dunes
stuff because he had reviewed only a small part of his
stuff. brainpower is a coder... in portugal... in dawn3.
editor: i knew that! :P
distance which was founded before or at tp7.
PsychicS at i think.
distance well. it was interesting hearing my music in the democompo
pretty interesting and some people liked the song so i was
happy. but the trip to tp7 was really really tiring and i
was depressed the whole time or something.
PsychicS yah! beatles rule!!
distance but i met unreal, thor, scorpik and other nice nice nice
guys and of course tpolm!
PsychicS about tg98... were u there aswell?
distance no.. i wouldve loved to see sinx on the bigscreen and
hear thors magic bathtub! we had some hassle with the
prizes too nobody picked them up so we got the prizes 3
months later
distance which was nice. i was going to buy a synth then but it
failed because i bought pot instead. ed: DOH!
PsychicS lol! was it good pot atleast?
distance hint hint didnt get that much money anyway
sure. theres no sense in buying not so good pot
PsychicS thors magic bathtub RULES!!!!!!!!!!1
distance thors magic bathtub has been released three times or
something.. thru monotonik, in sinx and in emissions4
PsychicS and so, what next? where is lackluster?
distance lackluster started in beginning of 97
PsychicS tell us about it
distance i was so ashamed of my modules .. i had previously written
distance/orange into them.. i had to figure out a group i
could put in there without ruining its quality23!
i found a word in a discworld novel. lackluster. i checked
what it meant and i understood it was totally in tune with
my music
distance and i thought -- if i ever travel beyond tracking ill do
it named as lackluster because then people wont have too
high hopes on my stuff.
PsychicS what does it mean?
distance i can type the dictionary explanation if you want to
distance lack lus ter lakluster. adj. 1. lacking brilliance,
radiance, liveliness, etc.: dull or vapid: a lackluster
existence a lackluster stare lackluster eyes a
lackluster color. -n. 2. a lack of brilliance or vitality.
also, esp, brit., lacklustre
PsychicS ah! lackluster as in unpolished! i nerver looked at it in
that way.
distance lacklustre was too autechre so i went for lackluster
lacklustre:adj dull uninspiring lifeless: lack-lustre
eyes . they gave a lack-lustre performance
distance yes! i chose it because i feel my songs are never polished
enough. theyre just thrown together. i press a key and
hope it hits something in the darkness
PsychicS ah! well! i have become wiser! :
tell us what has been happening with lackluster then?
distance well.. i did a few mp3s.. 1 of them is released.. another
has been waiting for release for at least 2 months :
the third is simply too incredibly stupid to be released.
distance when you listen to my songs you see the point...
PsychicS hehehe. i think gobbalad was good!
distance yeah. i think itll be released sometime. but its too
boring --i would change it somehow but i dont have the
original version of it.. so i have to leave it like it is
PsychicS enough about this... tell me in a few words what do you
think about: think fast
PsychicS marylin manson
distance shocking cdcovers. havent heard the music ..
made-to-be-shocking that is
PsychicS croaker
distance called him after asm94 and asked to become a site for
halcyon .. we met at juhla95 and he gave me biscuits.
the highlight of the trip to juhla95 actually. he has
always been 20 steps ahead of me. multitalented.
i would call him a good friend. he might disagree
PsychicS 3dfx discussion
distance is that on csipd? havent read it.. if people do good
demos and innovative things with 3dfx, its perfectly ok
with me. i want to see good stuff. if people do stuff like
those silly windows95 demos in asm98 which had totally
simplistic 3dscenes which ran SLOWLY on 3dfx.. no no no
that is not the way. one thing they could do is make mpegs
out of them so i could watch them at home too :
PsychicS lol
distance actually id like to see bleam by statix again
PsychicS bstates and his music
distance he has structure, i dont. one of the few people who are
innovative on the scene. multitalented. incredibly
touching songs. beginning from nobody dreaming.
PsychicS touching? explain
distance songs that made me shiver all over when i heard them. you
know what i mean... ed: yes i do!
distance stuff like carnaq and dekc! songs with deep feelings. or
songs that evoke deep feeling
PsychicS some ppl say its just bleeps and stracks. what do you say
to those ppl?
distance the music they listen to probably means less than that to
me. ahh.. that is too harshly said. all music is not for
everyone! not all music is for everyone!
PsychicS can u draw a line between diferent kinds of music? i
mean... is it impossible for those ppl to ever understand
about what is amazing with bstates music?
distance i dont draw lines. i listen to music - if its good and i
like it, its good and i like it.. if it doesnt affect me
at all, it doesnt mean anything to me if they ever get
total kicks out of a song of the style they like - they
can relate to other people getting kicks from some other
type of style.. but i dont think musical tastes should be
discussed at all. everyone will end up disagreeing with
everyone.
PsychicS your right! ppl should just go with the flow... :
distance theres lots of music to be enjoyed for everyone
PsychicS i think this is enough for this interview! u wanna say
something?
distance no, i dont want to
PsychicS but u should... say hi to friends and such
distance i think i bored everyone to tears already! hello to wojtek
podgorski. i sincerely hope youll get a smile on your face
some time. in the very near future.
PsychicS ppl always say they wont greet no one so they wont forget
about ppl! your breaking good interview rules! :
distance if i start greeting people itll be longer than the whole
interview and who wants that? : i can greet a few friends
PsychicS but well... its unreal! ill let it pass! :
but then you will forget about others and they will be
mad! do it at your own risk! :
distance wojtek nisse jesse jaakko lassi jaakko mikko antti antti
eliot. antti. aru
PsychicS im seeing too many sss and kks and jjs ed: sea sick!
ok! anyone else?
distance adam. dennisc and rez and mista dollarz.
PsychicS here we go... ill just go get some cookies and a coke
while you keep writing! :
distance ah, well thanks to zden for making such a nice demo
PsychicS im back! u finished already?
distance im ready to close the door! i think people who do stuff
in the scene should be interviewed instead of hangarounds
like me
PsychicS ok! :
PsychicS why?
distance they are the guys who have things to say - real opinions
PsychicS nah nah! all have opinions! only other sceners prefer
reading big-shot guys opinions to hangarounders
which sucks... but... :D
distance ahh i think im making sense or perhaps im not
PsychicS maybe you are...
editor: here we go! interview with great distance is over! :

doused.
originally a microphone-experiment..
then i got bored and added some rhythms + melodies into it,
and it turned into this.
dirty samples? sue me. everything except 3 samples was created with
my crappy microphone.. all of the non-percussive? ones came to life when
i thrust my microphone into the speakers and sampled the high squeak
that emerged. try it :
thanks to sulphur + deck who unwittingly helped me with their 2 samples.
uses NNAs and the Global Volume Slide -command.. so, no cubic player.

Psychic Symphony
Textmode Democompo 3
Its quite hard to get some idea into peoples heads after they
have chosen to be against it. you cant do anything decent in
textmode turns into its just another gfx mode after seeing a
decent demo in textmode. Thus I dont see any point anymore to try
to change peoples heads. Keep your eyes closed, see if I care..
My view about textmode is that its - really - just another mode,
but one that hasnt been used to its full extent. And this with the
tweaking limits Ive set in TMDC.
TMDC has - and has always had - perhaps too good prizes compared to
the level and number of demos attending. TMDC3 will probably be the
last tmdc if nothing special pops up like java or win NT console
ideas.
In TMDC1 you had to throw your entries by email TMDC2 had a ftp site
that almost worked, TMDC3 has a web site and ftp site with much
more bandwidth. the web upload does not work as I write this but
were looking into it.
So, in short
deadline 31.12.98
web site http://sauna.net/tmdc3/
ftp site ftp://ftp.fishpool.com/
email solar@compart.fi
prizes SHITloads of scene cds, tshirts and other stuff sponsored
by Imphobia, A.C.E, The Gathering and Trakked Records.
webspace sponsored by Fishpool Creations.
Demo limits in short please read the rules for complete specs
- must run in textmode 80x50 max
- no tweaking over blink attribute disabling
- 1.4 megs in a zip
- gus sb support required
- win95/98 dos box compatibility required
without suggest ms-dos mode when neccessary option checked
- must run on a Pentium 150 with 16 megs of RAM
compo machine will probably be a pII300 tho

the first official Hungarianansi/asciicompo at demoscene
.:RuleS InfofilE:.
I think that the IRC is based on characters and there are many compos
held here and not one has to do anything with IRC . So I thought, if
I have enough compo attendants, I could hold an ANSI/ASCII compo for YOU!
I dont want to be flamed from others because Ive called this compo
Hungarian ANSIcompo. Thats a simple name, but I think it is a reasonable
one... Im also waiting for compostuffz from other countries ....
There are not too many rules but please read accept these:
You can contribute with standard ANSI files, and handdrawn ASCII are also
accepted, so this is a crosstyle compo, like most of the compos nowadays.
Please do not contribute with converted shit, because those files
will be nuked and disqualified.
The compo has a deadline also...
.:How to enter compO:.
*** Upload your picture to ftp://demo.cat.hu/incoming/hac ***
I can accept the competition stuffz only on FTP or DCC gete-mail.excluded!!!
You can ask me if you have any questions.

!: weekly :
This week! I have been mostly eating... DISTANCE!
! interview !
PsychicS hello distance! can u please answer the normal 1st
interview question... what is your name?
distance helou! my name is esa ruoho. lots of people have trouble
believing it though
PsychicS and date-of-birth
distance i was born 26th of october 1978. that makes me 20
PsychicS why do ppl dont believe it?
distance because ruoho means weed or grass or hash or pot in
finnish or grass that can be lawnmowed
PsychicS ah! that means your mother needed some pain killers to
give birth to you then no?
distance no, but the doctors told her that itd be better to abort
me because she was too old in their opinion to have
another child she didnt agree with them so im here i
dont know about painkillers i also dont know what
possessed my distant relative to change to the surname
ruoho
PsychicS humm
distance muhmu.
PsychicS why do you always name your tunes like that?
like... muhmu
distance mostly theyre temp names. when i save a song im working
on it has to be called something.. sometimes a name
springs up. sometimes i use an anagram of lackluster..
about 90 of the time its totally random. there are times
when a suitable songname springs up out of nowhere but ..
i couldnt care less what theyre named like.
see md/fm/tpolms Appelsap for instance.. none of the
songs have any names.
PsychicS yes! you trying to compete against md? is that what you
are trying to say?
distance and somehow ive gotten enough of these the ultimate
sadness reality of rain love dragon secret porno
i dont compete against anyway. if i start comparing my
stuff to anybody elses, i lose. always. md is far far far
ahead of me. come to think of it, every composer in tpolm
is.
PsychicS tell me about your first party! demoparty that is.
not birthday! :
distance assembly93..
PsychicS you dont think too much of yourself... but... back
to party... tell us about the enviroment in there
distance it was.. interesting. i went there with 2 schoolmates and
just sat around watching people and machines. it was an
overwhelming sensation. everyone was so big and i was so
little
PsychicS did they beat you up and made you track? was that how u
became involved in things?
distance i think i was about 13 or so. there were classrooms where
groups had been established .. and people walking around.
nobody beat me up, but when i was sitting somewhere some
guy threw a pornomag at my lap. i missed the democompo at
asm93 cos i was too tired. i listened to most of the
musiccompos tho.. and the introcompos. i didnt really
walk around the large hall -- and i did see the dance
nation live dance nation consisted of captain and some
other persons
PsychicS dance nation?
distance yeah.. dance nation produced a few singles and at least 1
album and a musicvideo which was played at asm94.
there was also the mighty rubberboots live at asm93
which was sort of fun
PsychicS the mighty rubberboots?
distance yeah, the mighty rubberboots.. i actually found a vinyl
by them last year.. all i remember about it was that it
was fun and they looped the sample from monty python
there was much rejoicing a lot
editor: hehe! and there was much rejoicing! :
distance about tracking, no, they didnt make me track. i remember
i tried to do a logo for my board then it was called the
lucid dragon sbbs but it was horrible work
PsychicS lucid dragon? how did you came up with that?
distance i dont know, first i had a board called hectolyzer
hectobbs which concentrated on .. shudder .. different
versions of packingprograms.. i wanted all pkzips and
pkunzips around..
PsychicS how did you enter computer world? what was your first
computer?
distance when i was about 2 my father had built a machine from
instructions.. it was called telmac. he also had a
telmac 600 or something.. i remember i used to play a
spidergame with it. i somehow liked the asm93 introcompos
because every intro seemed to have a dragonball in it and
everybody was getting a laugh out of that.. plagiarism on
both the pc and the amiga front! i think i also saw some
guy from virtual dreams doing 242, because he had at
least 50 disks full of animations that he was crunching.
PsychicS 242?
distance 242.. an amiga demo .. i guess it was one of the first
with a *shitload* of crunched animations
distance it had papa smurfs music..
PsychicS smurfs! smurfs are good! :P u can never have too little
smurfs! : telmac? Whats a telmac?
distance telmac -- i guess nobody knows it anymore :
PsychicS what is it? im not good with old computers. all i know
is the speccie! :
distance then came atari 800xl, atari 600xl atari 320xe.. salora
fellow.. c64-c128-c128d .. amiga.. more ataris...
i dont think youll find any information about telmac
at all anywhere.. : i dont think it was a popular
machine. atari800xl had some nice demos tho...
PsychicS i guess not : anyways... fastforward... you are finnish
tracker now... what have you been doing lately?
distance im working at a computerworkshop learning networking and
tcp/ip crap.. err.. not really learning cos i cant
understand anything about subnetmasks and how to count
how many machines go behind a server or something
PsychicS so that means you may be a net-god on an upcoming
party? :
distance i very much doubt it.. but perhaps i am useful if all you
need to do is have a guy running around with cable on his
hands
PsychicS LOL! how did u start with tracking again?
distance i remember i heard this track at a 20 minute mac
advertisement which was a jarre song i had heard before at
a friends, i tried to track the melody as best as i could
on a500 and i played it to my friend who had the cd it
was from via the phone.. he couldnt remember anything
like it it was totally the same and so i guess i got a
bit annoyed and left it at that.. then i went to ibm
ps2/10mhz and used fast tracker 1.. couldnt understand
anything and tried some commands and i did like total
noise, totally absurd tempochanges and mainly just
lamersongs with haahaafunny craptexts and shit.. whenever
i tried to do a song i ended up with virtually no rhythm..
i couldnt be bothered to count the rows at all.. it was
too timeconsuming!
so my rhythms had no rhythm.. and .. well.. theyre
horrible : .. i moved to ft2 in 94 or something, still
couldnt do anything with it but now i had envelopes and
was happy for a while until i understood it was still
total crap because i didnt really track songs!
PsychicS unfortunatly u never changed! lol sorry... couldnt help
it... go on... editor: just a joke! :D
distance i moved to screamtracker3 and i did a silly gabbersong
with it and i was really having fun with the interface cos
it was so fun and simple and easy.. i really loved it. and
after i had vented my frustration into that song i did a
song that became my first real song it had a sinewave and
it sounds like a silly childrenlullaby. i even used tone
portamento in it and it was .. just too cute to be
believed. and i was happy with that and continued to try
out things in st3..
PsychicS until...
distance at one time in 95 i had given a lot of my songs to dune
and i was at his place and he loaded one song up and then
tracked a lot on it and the melody turned out to be a
masterpiece
distance i looked at it and learned arpeggio and vibrato and stuff
like that -- and i guess i wanted to try and be a bit more
patient with tracking.. so i guess i started to try and do
songs in 96 or something..
PsychicS and that tune was...
distance the song was never released of course. it was just some 0
pattern thing which dune upgraded
PsychicS : ok...
distance by masterpiece i mean that my silly melody actually fitted
into the stuff he did drums + bass + arpeggio
PsychicS lol
distance in 95 i was having a ball doing songs in 2-3 minutes.. i
loaded up a chiptune and just did a drumpattern like this:
asdiofajoi4ejr5o235josd .. then the melody:
ajeiworjaosifgjio and then the effects:
ejafioasiojafadfoij1309401394014 etc..
distance theyre still pretty damn strange and wicked songs.. :
even tho theyre out of tune and nobody wants to hear them
PsychicS lol! thats what experts call: inovation! :P
distance i put about 8 of those songs into my chipcompetition i
held in my board c.o.s. another namechange
distance then mirror/symptom and human/a-men came and judged all
of the chiptunes and they were like were going to beat
up the guy who did this crap.. shit he is fucked and
annoying.. why does he do this? .. later i told mirror
that i had done them and he was aghast at himself and
said sorry! i was just mostly having fun.. i think...
PsychicS bahahahha
distance i got onto the internet in 95 when i started studying in
helsinki business polytechnic.. it was fun. the net not
the studying.. i dropped the studying and started ircing
all the time
PsychicS lets speed up the history
distance oh theres lots more where that came from
PsychicS i know! thats why i wanna speed up! :P
distance i tracked and tracked and tracked and tracked
then i released m
PsychicS m?
distance m.zip
PsychicS ?
distance i guess nobody liked it.. but it was used in cheese
diskmag
PsychicS i dont have it!
distance i did i guess 3 songs for cheese diskmag i guess you
havent heard of cheese either have you? :
PsychicS i heard about it... never seen it!
distance it was done by a friend called multiplex.. i can email
you all the releases if you want to. or grab them from
scene.org
distance it was not very serious! it was released like every 2
weeks. i guess all of the interfaces it used bugged
really nicely
PsychicS dont loose the point! m got released and...
distance anyway i got a lot of feedback in 95-96 from people on
irc and i was tracking all the time
distance m got released and nobody said anything.. after a few
months i released n and fumbling and stuff like that..
but they all sucked. then i put together uda talks to me
before assembly96
PsychicS yes... uda talks to me
distance anyway, a lot of things changed after asm96! i started
smoking pot, which probably is the reason why uda is my
only real fast song. i started using IT in the beginning
of 97 or something i guess and later on h0l/monotonik put
out a guestrelease called infinite ep. i was happy since
mono was such a great group.
distance anyway 97 was where it all started i guess... i met
brainpower and there was this demo for tp7 and just me
tracking a lot, stoning a lot and then of course visiting
tp7. in 1998 i joined tpolm and got a directory in
scene.org and started having trouble tracking in summer or
something. now im here and i havent really done anything
PsychicS who is brainpower?
distance brainpower is a guy who wrote an article to traxweekly
when it was still released about dune and i replied to him
about it and met him at asm97 and gave him a lot of dunes
stuff because he had reviewed only a small part of his
stuff. brainpower is a coder... in portugal... in dawn3.
editor: i knew that! :P
distance which was founded before or at tp7.
PsychicS at i think.
distance well. it was interesting hearing my music in the democompo
pretty interesting and some people liked the song so i was
happy. but the trip to tp7 was really really tiring and i
was depressed the whole time or something.
PsychicS yah! beatles rule!!
distance but i met unreal, thor, scorpik and other nice nice nice
guys and of course tpolm!
PsychicS about tg98... were u there aswell?
distance no.. i wouldve loved to see sinx on the bigscreen and
hear thors magic bathtub! we had some hassle with the
prizes too nobody picked them up so we got the prizes 3
months later
distance which was nice. i was going to buy a synth then but it
failed because i bought pot instead. ed: DOH!
PsychicS lol! was it good pot atleast?
distance hint hint didnt get that much money anyway
sure. theres no sense in buying not so good pot
PsychicS thors magic bathtub RULES!!!!!!!!!!1
distance thors magic bathtub has been released three times or
something.. thru monotonik, in sinx and in emissions4
PsychicS and so, what next? where is lackluster?
distance lackluster started in beginning of 97
PsychicS tell us about it
distance i was so ashamed of my modules .. i had previously written
distance/orange into them.. i had to figure out a group i
could put in there without ruining its quality23!
i found a word in a discworld novel. lackluster. i checked
what it meant and i understood it was totally in tune with
my music
distance and i thought -- if i ever travel beyond tracking ill do
it named as lackluster because then people wont have too
high hopes on my stuff.
PsychicS what does it mean?
distance i can type the dictionary explanation if you want to
distance lack lus ter lakluster. adj. 1. lacking brilliance,
radiance, liveliness, etc.: dull or vapid: a lackluster
existence a lackluster stare lackluster eyes a
lackluster color. -n. 2. a lack of brilliance or vitality.
also, esp, brit., lacklustre
PsychicS ah! lackluster as in unpolished! i nerver looked at it in
that way.
distance lacklustre was too autechre so i went for lackluster
lacklustre:adj dull uninspiring lifeless: lack-lustre
eyes . they gave a lack-lustre performance
distance yes! i chose it because i feel my songs are never polished
enough. theyre just thrown together. i press a key and
hope it hits something in the darkness
PsychicS ah! well! i have become wiser! :
tell us what has been happening with lackluster then?
distance well.. i did a few mp3s.. 1 of them is released.. another
has been waiting for release for at least 2 months :
the third is simply too incredibly stupid to be released.
distance when you listen to my songs you see the point...
PsychicS hehehe. i think gobbalad was good!
distance yeah. i think itll be released sometime. but its too
boring --i would change it somehow but i dont have the
original version of it.. so i have to leave it like it is
PsychicS enough about this... tell me in a few words what do you
think about: think fast
PsychicS marylin manson
distance shocking cdcovers. havent heard the music ..
made-to-be-shocking that is
PsychicS croaker
distance called him after asm94 and asked to become a site for
halcyon .. we met at juhla95 and he gave me biscuits.
the highlight of the trip to juhla95 actually. he has
always been 20 steps ahead of me. multitalented.
i would call him a good friend. he might disagree
PsychicS 3dfx discussion
distance is that on csipd? havent read it.. if people do good
demos and innovative things with 3dfx, its perfectly ok
with me. i want to see good stuff. if people do stuff like
those silly windows95 demos in asm98 which had totally
simplistic 3dscenes which ran SLOWLY on 3dfx.. no no no
that is not the way. one thing they could do is make mpegs
out of them so i could watch them at home too :
PsychicS lol
distance actually id like to see bleam by statix again
PsychicS bstates and his music
distance he has structure, i dont. one of the few people who are
innovative on the scene. multitalented. incredibly
touching songs. beginning from nobody dreaming.
PsychicS touching? explain
distance songs that made me shiver all over when i heard them. you
know what i mean... ed: yes i do!
distance stuff like carnaq and dekc! songs with deep feelings. or
songs that evoke deep feeling
PsychicS some ppl say its just bleeps and stracks. what do you say
to those ppl?
distance the music they listen to probably means less than that to
me. ahh.. that is too harshly said. all music is not for
everyone! not all music is for everyone!
PsychicS can u draw a line between diferent kinds of music? i
mean... is it impossible for those ppl to ever understand
about what is amazing with bstates music?
distance i dont draw lines. i listen to music - if its good and i
like it, its good and i like it.. if it doesnt affect me
at all, it doesnt mean anything to me if they ever get
total kicks out of a song of the style they like - they
can relate to other people getting kicks from some other
type of style.. but i dont think musical tastes should be
discussed at all. everyone will end up disagreeing with
everyone.
PsychicS your right! ppl should just go with the flow... :
distance theres lots of music to be enjoyed for everyone
PsychicS i think this is enough for this interview! u wanna say
something?
distance no, i dont want to
PsychicS but u should... say hi to friends and such
distance i think i bored everyone to tears already! hello to wojtek
podgorski. i sincerely hope youll get a smile on your face
some time. in the very near future.
PsychicS ppl always say they wont greet no one so they wont forget
about ppl! your breaking good interview rules! :
distance if i start greeting people itll be longer than the whole
interview and who wants that? : i can greet a few friends
PsychicS but well... its unreal! ill let it pass! :
but then you will forget about others and they will be
mad! do it at your own risk! :
distance wojtek nisse jesse jaakko lassi jaakko mikko antti antti
eliot. antti. aru
PsychicS im seeing too many sss and kks and jjs ed: sea sick!
ok! anyone else?
distance adam. dennisc and rez and mista dollarz.
PsychicS here we go... ill just go get some cookies and a coke
while you keep writing! :
distance ah, well thanks to zden for making such a nice demo
PsychicS im back! u finished already?
distance im ready to close the door! i think people who do stuff
in the scene should be interviewed instead of hangarounds
like me
PsychicS ok! :
PsychicS why?
distance they are the guys who have things to say - real opinions
PsychicS nah nah! all have opinions! only other sceners prefer
reading big-shot guys opinions to hangarounders
which sucks... but... :D
distance ahh i think im making sense or perhaps im not
PsychicS maybe you are...
editor: here we go! interview with great distance is over! :

doused.
originally a microphone-experiment..
then i got bored and added some rhythms + melodies into it,
and it turned into this.
dirty samples? sue me. everything except 3 samples was created with
my crappy microphone.. all of the non-percussive? ones came to life when
i thrust my microphone into the speakers and sampled the high squeak
that emerged. try it :
thanks to sulphur + deck who unwittingly helped me with their 2 samples.
uses NNAs and the Global Volume Slide -command.. so, no cubic player.

Textmode Democompo 3
Its quite hard to get some idea into peoples heads after they
have chosen to be against it. you cant do anything decent in
textmode turns into its just another gfx mode after seeing a
decent demo in textmode. Thus I dont see any point anymore to try
to change peoples heads. Keep your eyes closed, see if I care..
My view about textmode is that its - really - just another mode,
but one that hasnt been used to its full extent. And this with the
tweaking limits Ive set in TMDC.
TMDC has - and has always had - perhaps too good prizes compared to
the level and number of demos attending. TMDC3 will probably be the
last tmdc if nothing special pops up like java or win NT console
ideas.
In TMDC1 you had to throw your entries by email TMDC2 had a ftp site
that almost worked, TMDC3 has a web site and ftp site with much
more bandwidth. the web upload does not work as I write this but
were looking into it.
So, in short
deadline 31.12.98
web site http://sauna.net/tmdc3/
ftp site ftp://ftp.fishpool.com/
email solar@compart.fi
prizes SHITloads of scene cds, tshirts and other stuff sponsored
by Imphobia, A.C.E, The Gathering and Trakked Records.
webspace sponsored by Fishpool Creations.
Demo limits in short please read the rules for complete specs
- must run in textmode 80x50 max
- no tweaking over blink attribute disabling
- 1.4 megs in a zip
- gus sb support required
- win95/98 dos box compatibility required
without suggest ms-dos mode when neccessary option checked
- must run on a Pentium 150 with 16 megs of RAM
compo machine will probably be a pII300 tho

the first official Hungarianansi/asciicompo at demoscene
.:RuleS InfofilE:.
I think that the IRC is based on characters and there are many compos
held here and not one has to do anything with IRC . So I thought, if
I have enough compo attendants, I could hold an ANSI/ASCII compo for YOU!
I dont want to be flamed from others because Ive called this compo
Hungarian ANSIcompo. Thats a simple name, but I think it is a reasonable
one... Im also waiting for compostuffz from other countries ....
There are not too many rules but please read accept these:
You can contribute with standard ANSI files, and handdrawn ASCII are also
accepted, so this is a crosstyle compo, like most of the compos nowadays.
Please do not contribute with converted shit, because those files
will be nuked and disqualified.
The compo has a deadline also...
.:How to enter compO:.
*** Upload your picture to ftp://demo.cat.hu/incoming/hac ***
I can accept the competition stuffz only on FTP or DCC gete-mail.excluded!!!
You can ask me if you have any questions.
.:VotinG:.
You can vote only by email,FTP and DCC, write to:
Excellents@scene-hu.com
L0velY@freemail.c3.hu
Or upload to:
