Session Start: Wed Aug 04 00:36:02 1999
*** frost has joined demojournal
ps hi! : so who are you? :
frost Im doing fine thanks. A little tired from work, but
fine. and you?
ps who not how! :D im between very sad and very happy though..
thx for asking :P
frost erm yes, did I mention I was tired? hehe...
ps so why are you tired? where do you work?
frost Well, my real name is Danny Oros, and Im from Canada.
Ive been drawing on the computer for quite a while and
stuff, and got interested in the scene a few years ago...
Im old, and getting fat. and tired
Im currently employed at Ubi Soft Entertainment
Canada, where I spend my days drawing textures, images,
debugging 3D levels, etc.
ps when was your first contact with computers and the
artscene/demoscene
frost I first started drawing on my cousins C64 when I was
about 14 or so, then on to AMSTRAD and the first Tandy
computers. I really had lots of fun around 1990 when I
got my first VGA card... I learned about the scene in
1994, a year after Second Realitys release... watching
older demos from FC, Sonic PC, Renaissance and stuff.
From that day I realized that I wasnt the only freak
pixeling in the world and that there were people having
fun and competing doing it too. I later found that the
scene held many many great people who are real fun to
talk and share with.
ps so youve been around for quite some time. tell us how have
things changed from those times to nowdays..
frost Well, I suppose I havent been around as long as I would
have wished. I really got in touch with the real
international sceners in 1996, which is very late. So its
rather hard for me to tell a tale of something I wasnt
too close to at that time. I just had a few demos on my
hard-drive I got off some people I knew who had some BBS
accounts at some odd places.
ps so what can you tell us about 96 then? :
frost Being a North American isnt really cool for that...
being so far away from the mainstream demo makers.
1996... I recall working for a startup web company as
computer programmer in C under Linux UNIX... urgh.
Bad memories. And pixeling some stuff... competing
in the last real North American demo party, NAID96,
where I lost to ANSI artists, hehe, gotta love public
voting.
ps how did you manage to tag along then?
er, how did your pics get in the same compo as the ansi pics?
frost Some local sceners here in Montreal were talking with
people on this thing called IRC, which I knew nothing
about. They kindly introduced me to the addictive disease
that it is today. I first hung around trax, then coders,
and eventually i learned about pixel 6 months later! .
The gfx compo was won by ANSI artists strutting their
stuff with photoshop something I had never seen in my
life in 24 bit, auto-antialiasing, etc... which kind of
pissed me off cause I had spent 27+ hours on a hi-res
pixeled pic with a buggy pixeling program called PICTOR
from GRASP, which I later continued with DPII. But now
I can say I can kick their asses my eyes closed, so, I
dont make a fuss over that anymore. my pic sucked the
bag btw.
ps so, how was your carrer scene-wise? what happened after 96?
frost Well locally, I started off in a group called USED,
then moved on to do stuff with Satire, then the almighty
Da Cheez Brigade wanted me in, so I joined without
resistance. they have all been inactive since pretty
much
ps so what after the adventures with dcb on naid96? :
frost In 1996, I learned how to use 3DS4 and learned about 3D
altogether, and the whole technical shebang behind all
that stuff. Learned photoshop. Made a few demos for game
companies like Epic Megagames, 3D Realms, etc... none of
which came through for me, until Ubi Soft opened shop in
Montreal, which made me a very happy man.
Ive been there since April 1998.
ps uh, what games where you involved with?
frost Well, after winning pretty much anything they competed in
North America, DCB went off the active list, as members
went to study and work, which is still the case today.
DCB is not officially down, but, not the most active at
the moment.
At Ubi Soft, well, Ive worked on Tonic Trouble both the
PC and N64 version, also did some 2D help work for a few
other games like Monaco Grand Prix for PlayStation also
acted as a technical director for the artists who worked
on it in China, and a few other odd things here and there.
For Tonic Trouble, I had converted original hi-res 24bpp
textures into 16-color shared-palette 64x64 textures
from 16 million colors to 16, erm. ... I spent over
4 months doing that day in and day out for over 800
textures. But I loved it.
ps what about scene-wise, are you still trying to be active or
given up into work?
frost Well, I joined ACME early in 1998 I believe it was, and
now they have also gone inactive. Im still drawing some
things on the side, mostly for personal purposes. I never
compete in GFX compos anywhere, cause basically I cant
attend the Parties, which is a really big drag.
I sometimes wonder if Im not TOO occupied with work to be
active at all.
ps do you have a 8hour/day work in the office? or do you do
things at your own pace?
frost I have an 8-hour a day job, and I spend an additional
2 and a half hours travelling to and back from it.
I definitely dont work at my own pace. There are
deadlines, and such to meet.
ps sounds like hard work to me
frost ******* btw, I started pixeling some 12 years ago..
well, its a job, and its definitely not as fun as
drawing whatever you feel like drawing for the scene
and competing with friends and getting prizes.
hehe, but I still love it.
As it turns out, Ive never been active in the scene
per se, but I have made so many great friends that I just
cant leave and not come back, too many people I care
about and love talking and sharing with.
ps ok, what was your first party? :
frost Naid96 was my first and last party.
Im not even going to count COMA99 as a demo party
ps hehe, so what are the best and worst memories of naid? :
frost But demos I have done work for are Explosive/SATIRE who
got 2nd at CRASH97 the party that crashed, and
Splendid/EXCUSED who got 14th at ASM97. Of course I did
not attend these.
I have no awesome memory from NAID, as I basically didnt
sleep for over 60 hours straight.
I think my brain just stopped responding at that time.
ps hehe : so, are you ready for demojournals top quizshow
contest? :
frost Erm... is there stuff to win? If not, screw it.
joke Go ahead.
ps 1. whats your favorite color?
frost I would have to say Green.. relaxed, dark, and nicely
but not oversaturated green.
ps 2. what is the capital of madagascar?
frost Helsinki?
ps 3. if you could only take 3 things to a deserted island what
would you take?
frost A blonde, a brunette, and of course a red-head.
and if there were any extra space, lots of beer
ps 4. what is the biggest reptile on earth?
frost Either Godzilla or Bill Clinton.
ps 5. coke or pepsi?
frost None of the above. beer
ps whats your favorite demo?
frost Hmm, good one. I have strange tastes in demos... but I
definitely like the older demos like Panic/FC,
Stuff/xtacy?, Dope/Complex... but I must also mention
Mensverk/Tpolm, which really amused me. Hmm, most Bomb
demos, and of course anything NOOON made... etc.
I just like things made for the fun of it... I can almost
feel it when I watch them.
ps do you still take the time to get some occasional stuff from
the net or not really anymore?
frost Well, since I have a P2 and running Win98 with a SB-Live,
I dont do as many demo leeching, cause 60 of them just
wont work, either no sound, no support for some low-res
hicolor video mode, memory problems, etc. Anything made
with Turbo-Pascal doesnt work, so scratch a few good ones
there. I mainly download windows demos now, the few that
come out that is, like Nomads stuff, Bombs, etc.
Im going to build myself a demo machine soon, with some
486 with GUS, running DOS 5.0
ps bahahaha, ever tried getting scitech doctor and starting
under dos? :P
frost well, I quit using display doctor some 2 years ago...
I never like VESA, but anyways, I also heard my specific
card is not supported by sci-tech so...
ps tough luck.. :/
frost yes but Im used to that.
ps what are your favorite coder/tracker/gfxians?
frost favorite coders would have to be Unreal, Statix and Camel.
trackers, hmm, thats tough since I dont listen to
tracked trax anymore, but Vic, Scorpik, Radix, Carebear
among the best in my oppinion. gfxers, Made, Danny, Niko
who also works at ubi!, RA who HAS worked at Ubi,
and so many many more... too many good people and great
friends here...
oh, TMK of course... and Haplo, and Zeb, and Acryl, and...
ps let us talk pixel techniques!
frost Hmm, ok.
ps how do you jump from beeing a pixeler to mastering it
frost Mastering a pixel is only a mouse click away. But
seriously, I would say that being a master of the pixel
is purely a technical issue, where you can draw or
reproduce any image using pixels efficiently, using a
limited color set and resolution. Someone who fully
understands and masters such things as antialiasing,
dithering, color selection, etc.
I dont consider myself as having mastered pixeling,
even though I have over 11 years or so experience.
I dont think too many people have either.
ps well.. you can do it once and it looks crap.. you try again
and it still looks crap.. how do you learn the proper
technics?
frost A pixeler is just someone who uses these techniques to
project their visions, ideas, etc.
ps dont get technical on me! talk technical! :P
frost You can only learn by looking at others work, and figuring
out WHY he did it like that and WHY it looks good that way
and not your experimental way.
Its a long study, when and when not to use dithering,
reduce and augment antialising... etc... Im still
learning.
ps humm.. i see :
frost The same for color selection, and less technical things
such as image design, shapes, contrast, shading. Basically,
theres only one way to the recipe in my oppinion, and you
can improvise along the way.
ps so what are the best tools for 8bit and 24bit these days?
frost Well, I dont know about that many tools, but tools we
use at work for palette stuff well, since Im the only
one doing that kind of stuff in Canada I use GFX2 yeah!
and photoshop for smaller and quick touch-ups. Anything in
RGB 16/24 is photoshop for me. Id like to get to work
with Painter, but, its too artsy for me I think, Im too
used to the confines of the pixel and their manipulation.
ps ok, i think this is it.. : you have an homepage and email? :
frost I have a homepage in the works at
http://www.dsuper.net/frost, and an email addy at
frost@dsuper.net or megafrost@hotmail.com.
Well, now that the torture is over for you, guess you can
go to bed
ps wanna say hi to anyone any pet? :P before i chop yor head?:
frost and sorry for being such a lame-ass person
oh yes!! Id like to send my love and greets to Wojtek
Unreal, Adam Scorpik, Carlos Made, Chris Dr.Yes,
and Lluvia of course!, Danny Danny/Tbl, Jakob Radix,
Tommy! TMK, and the rest of the people that I talk to
ever so often, especially the ones I have met during my
stay in Paris! Cheers people!
hope to have not forgotten anyone here! Im sure I did!!!
ps you have a pet?
frost My computer is my pet.
ps whats her name? :P
frost Actually, its just got this lame name: frost.
maybe I should write something about endorsing Wacom in
there...
ps : is wacom better or worse then using a rodent? :
frost depends what you use it for. hehe
ps for pixelling :D
frost My Wacom tablet does wonders for scrubbing my clothes..
erm, pixeling is for mice. hehe
ps :P
frost pixeling: gfx2+mouse
24bitartwork: photoshop+tablet
thats how it is for me.
ps thank you for that helpfull hint
the fact that wacom doesnt work on gfx2 doesnt mean anything
does it? :P
frost you dont have the same kind of pin-point precision with
the pen, but you have better curves. pixeling being more
tedious precise work requires a mouse. drawing freehand
requires a good curve tool that is more like a pen...
which it is. guess not.
ps ok.. thank you for your time! got any last words of wisdom
for us mear mortals? :
frost np.
Wisdom is not in the hands of those who think they have it.
ps :P
Session Close: Wed Aug 04 02:24:51 1999
! demo !
Magma/Mentasm
Winner of Saturne 96
Ola. so, after some hours of demowatching, ps and me i showed him
one of my favourites in 1996. they showed up 3ds like you today see
in demos like shad or nomad productions. the lame thing that there
isnt nothing new since then, just camera moving around on the scene,
thats all no interresting morphings, shadows lights, and sometimes
bilinear is missing too. the demo has some traditional effects like
whirpool a la doomsday, just not that colorfull. the overall quality
of the demo is really good, thats why i liked it those days...
btw, where are the mentasm guys today? or they have just one demo
and ended up carreer?
dlee
editor: HAHA! mentasm organize volcanic! : research rules! :P
! intro !
gamma/mfx
3rd place at Abduction 97
Those days and before MFX never could won. this one placed only 3rd
too, but think its still one of the best raytracing intros. well in
256 color, but who cares. there is a scene when 32 ! lights are
shown if i remember correctly. and the whole system is shadowed, the
metaballs too. the music is just the usual hardcore. that time dnb
like things werent flooded us.
mfx/mewlers still rock, and they are the last big groups left
from Finland.
dlee
! music !
On me by Hunz
Ack, hungarians are all techno and mp3 junkies! no good music this
week so i review the on me series beeing remixed all the time. good
vocals from hunz, originally for the 80s decade or something like
that music disk went a soft dosk-pop version of the song. Some time
later wayfinder remixed it into an underworld feeling song, quite
catchy and er.. groovy. And now as a tdr release we get another
remix, this time by paniq, not a heavy dnb remix like we would be
lead to believe but a rather fun and stupid summer mix so we now
have 3 on me s. When is the musicdisk coming out?

Ramblings on what happened in 1 year of demojournal
1. What happened to the scene in general..
the coders started going to hicolor hires windows and linux coding.
well linux only mostly in france but...
the graphicians got extinct since the few that exist are good but
are also busy like hell. visualize made a cool comeback. we bow to
his feet heavily and stuff.. :D
musicians go around like hell.. they tend to go more for mp3 stuff
which is not bad if they can track it, save it to wav and convert,
not bad for demoscene that is.. the typical demoscene style music
seems to be going away, psychedelic trance, trip hop, drum and bass,
dub and other new-age sounds seem to be picking up.

Session Start: Wed Aug 04 00:36:02 1999
*** frost has joined demojournal
ps hi! : so who are you? :
frost Im doing fine thanks. A little tired from work, but
fine. and you?
ps who not how! :D im between very sad and very happy though..
thx for asking :P
frost erm yes, did I mention I was tired? hehe...
ps so why are you tired? where do you work?
frost Well, my real name is Danny Oros, and Im from Canada.
Ive been drawing on the computer for quite a while and
stuff, and got interested in the scene a few years ago...
Im old, and getting fat. and tired
Im currently employed at Ubi Soft Entertainment
Canada, where I spend my days drawing textures, images,
debugging 3D levels, etc.
ps when was your first contact with computers and the
artscene/demoscene
frost I first started drawing on my cousins C64 when I was
about 14 or so, then on to AMSTRAD and the first Tandy
computers. I really had lots of fun around 1990 when I
got my first VGA card... I learned about the scene in
1994, a year after Second Realitys release... watching
older demos from FC, Sonic PC, Renaissance and stuff.
From that day I realized that I wasnt the only freak
pixeling in the world and that there were people having
fun and competing doing it too. I later found that the
scene held many many great people who are real fun to
talk and share with.
ps so youve been around for quite some time. tell us how have
things changed from those times to nowdays..
frost Well, I suppose I havent been around as long as I would
have wished. I really got in touch with the real
international sceners in 1996, which is very late. So its
rather hard for me to tell a tale of something I wasnt
too close to at that time. I just had a few demos on my
hard-drive I got off some people I knew who had some BBS
accounts at some odd places.
ps so what can you tell us about 96 then? :
frost Being a North American isnt really cool for that...
being so far away from the mainstream demo makers.
1996... I recall working for a startup web company as
computer programmer in C under Linux UNIX... urgh.
Bad memories. And pixeling some stuff... competing
in the last real North American demo party, NAID96,
where I lost to ANSI artists, hehe, gotta love public
voting.
ps how did you manage to tag along then?
er, how did your pics get in the same compo as the ansi pics?
frost Some local sceners here in Montreal were talking with
people on this thing called IRC, which I knew nothing
about. They kindly introduced me to the addictive disease
that it is today. I first hung around trax, then coders,
and eventually i learned about pixel 6 months later! .
The gfx compo was won by ANSI artists strutting their
stuff with photoshop something I had never seen in my
life in 24 bit, auto-antialiasing, etc... which kind of
pissed me off cause I had spent 27+ hours on a hi-res
pixeled pic with a buggy pixeling program called PICTOR
from GRASP, which I later continued with DPII. But now
I can say I can kick their asses my eyes closed, so, I
dont make a fuss over that anymore. my pic sucked the
bag btw.
ps so, how was your carrer scene-wise? what happened after 96?
frost Well locally, I started off in a group called USED,
then moved on to do stuff with Satire, then the almighty
Da Cheez Brigade wanted me in, so I joined without
resistance. they have all been inactive since pretty
much
ps so what after the adventures with dcb on naid96? :
frost In 1996, I learned how to use 3DS4 and learned about 3D
altogether, and the whole technical shebang behind all
that stuff. Learned photoshop. Made a few demos for game
companies like Epic Megagames, 3D Realms, etc... none of
which came through for me, until Ubi Soft opened shop in
Montreal, which made me a very happy man.
Ive been there since April 1998.
ps uh, what games where you involved with?
frost Well, after winning pretty much anything they competed in
North America, DCB went off the active list, as members
went to study and work, which is still the case today.
DCB is not officially down, but, not the most active at
the moment.
At Ubi Soft, well, Ive worked on Tonic Trouble both the
PC and N64 version, also did some 2D help work for a few
other games like Monaco Grand Prix for PlayStation also
acted as a technical director for the artists who worked
on it in China, and a few other odd things here and there.
For Tonic Trouble, I had converted original hi-res 24bpp
textures into 16-color shared-palette 64x64 textures
from 16 million colors to 16, erm. ... I spent over
4 months doing that day in and day out for over 800
textures. But I loved it.
ps what about scene-wise, are you still trying to be active or
given up into work?
frost Well, I joined ACME early in 1998 I believe it was, and
now they have also gone inactive. Im still drawing some
things on the side, mostly for personal purposes. I never
compete in GFX compos anywhere, cause basically I cant
attend the Parties, which is a really big drag.
I sometimes wonder if Im not TOO occupied with work to be
active at all.
ps do you have a 8hour/day work in the office? or do you do
things at your own pace?
frost I have an 8-hour a day job, and I spend an additional
2 and a half hours travelling to and back from it.
I definitely dont work at my own pace. There are
deadlines, and such to meet.
ps sounds like hard work to me
frost ******* btw, I started pixeling some 12 years ago..
well, its a job, and its definitely not as fun as
drawing whatever you feel like drawing for the scene
and competing with friends and getting prizes.
hehe, but I still love it.
As it turns out, Ive never been active in the scene
per se, but I have made so many great friends that I just
cant leave and not come back, too many people I care
about and love talking and sharing with.
ps ok, what was your first party? :
frost Naid96 was my first and last party.
Im not even going to count COMA99 as a demo party
ps hehe, so what are the best and worst memories of naid? :
frost But demos I have done work for are Explosive/SATIRE who
got 2nd at CRASH97 the party that crashed, and
Splendid/EXCUSED who got 14th at ASM97. Of course I did
not attend these.
I have no awesome memory from NAID, as I basically didnt
sleep for over 60 hours straight.
I think my brain just stopped responding at that time.
ps hehe : so, are you ready for demojournals top quizshow
contest? :
frost Erm... is there stuff to win? If not, screw it.
joke Go ahead.
ps 1. whats your favorite color?
frost I would have to say Green.. relaxed, dark, and nicely
but not oversaturated green.
ps 2. what is the capital of madagascar?
frost Helsinki?
ps 3. if you could only take 3 things to a deserted island what
would you take?
frost A blonde, a brunette, and of course a red-head.
and if there were any extra space, lots of beer
ps 4. what is the biggest reptile on earth?
frost Either Godzilla or Bill Clinton.
ps 5. coke or pepsi?
frost None of the above. beer
ps whats your favorite demo?
frost Hmm, good one. I have strange tastes in demos... but I
definitely like the older demos like Panic/FC,
Stuff/xtacy?, Dope/Complex... but I must also mention
Mensverk/Tpolm, which really amused me. Hmm, most Bomb
demos, and of course anything NOOON made... etc.
I just like things made for the fun of it... I can almost
feel it when I watch them.
ps do you still take the time to get some occasional stuff from
the net or not really anymore?
frost Well, since I have a P2 and running Win98 with a SB-Live,
I dont do as many demo leeching, cause 60 of them just
wont work, either no sound, no support for some low-res
hicolor video mode, memory problems, etc. Anything made
with Turbo-Pascal doesnt work, so scratch a few good ones
there. I mainly download windows demos now, the few that
come out that is, like Nomads stuff, Bombs, etc.
Im going to build myself a demo machine soon, with some
486 with GUS, running DOS 5.0
ps bahahaha, ever tried getting scitech doctor and starting
under dos? :P
frost well, I quit using display doctor some 2 years ago...
I never like VESA, but anyways, I also heard my specific
card is not supported by sci-tech so...
ps tough luck.. :/
frost yes but Im used to that.
ps what are your favorite coder/tracker/gfxians?
frost favorite coders would have to be Unreal, Statix and Camel.
trackers, hmm, thats tough since I dont listen to
tracked trax anymore, but Vic, Scorpik, Radix, Carebear
among the best in my oppinion. gfxers, Made, Danny, Niko
who also works at ubi!, RA who HAS worked at Ubi,
and so many many more... too many good people and great
friends here...
oh, TMK of course... and Haplo, and Zeb, and Acryl, and...
ps let us talk pixel techniques!
frost Hmm, ok.
ps how do you jump from beeing a pixeler to mastering it
frost Mastering a pixel is only a mouse click away. But
seriously, I would say that being a master of the pixel
is purely a technical issue, where you can draw or
reproduce any image using pixels efficiently, using a
limited color set and resolution. Someone who fully
understands and masters such things as antialiasing,
dithering, color selection, etc.
I dont consider myself as having mastered pixeling,
even though I have over 11 years or so experience.
I dont think too many people have either.
ps well.. you can do it once and it looks crap.. you try again
and it still looks crap.. how do you learn the proper
technics?
frost A pixeler is just someone who uses these techniques to
project their visions, ideas, etc.
ps dont get technical on me! talk technical! :P
frost You can only learn by looking at others work, and figuring
out WHY he did it like that and WHY it looks good that way
and not your experimental way.
Its a long study, when and when not to use dithering,
reduce and augment antialising... etc... Im still
learning.
ps humm.. i see :
frost The same for color selection, and less technical things
such as image design, shapes, contrast, shading. Basically,
theres only one way to the recipe in my oppinion, and you
can improvise along the way.
ps so what are the best tools for 8bit and 24bit these days?
frost Well, I dont know about that many tools, but tools we
use at work for palette stuff well, since Im the only
one doing that kind of stuff in Canada I use GFX2 yeah!
and photoshop for smaller and quick touch-ups. Anything in
RGB 16/24 is photoshop for me. Id like to get to work
with Painter, but, its too artsy for me I think, Im too
used to the confines of the pixel and their manipulation.
ps ok, i think this is it.. : you have an homepage and email? :
frost I have a homepage in the works at
http://www.dsuper.net/frost, and an email addy at
frost@dsuper.net or megafrost@hotmail.com.
Well, now that the torture is over for you, guess you can
go to bed
ps wanna say hi to anyone any pet? :P before i chop yor head?:
frost and sorry for being such a lame-ass person
oh yes!! Id like to send my love and greets to Wojtek
Unreal, Adam Scorpik, Carlos Made, Chris Dr.Yes,
and Lluvia of course!, Danny Danny/Tbl, Jakob Radix,
Tommy! TMK, and the rest of the people that I talk to
ever so often, especially the ones I have met during my
stay in Paris! Cheers people!
hope to have not forgotten anyone here! Im sure I did!!!
ps you have a pet?
frost My computer is my pet.
ps whats her name? :P
frost Actually, its just got this lame name: frost.
maybe I should write something about endorsing Wacom in
there...
ps : is wacom better or worse then using a rodent? :
frost depends what you use it for. hehe
ps for pixelling :D
frost My Wacom tablet does wonders for scrubbing my clothes..
erm, pixeling is for mice. hehe
ps :P
frost pixeling: gfx2+mouse
24bitartwork: photoshop+tablet
thats how it is for me.
ps thank you for that helpfull hint
the fact that wacom doesnt work on gfx2 doesnt mean anything
does it? :P
frost you dont have the same kind of pin-point precision with
the pen, but you have better curves. pixeling being more
tedious precise work requires a mouse. drawing freehand
requires a good curve tool that is more like a pen...
which it is. guess not.
ps ok.. thank you for your time! got any last words of wisdom
for us mear mortals? :
frost np.
Wisdom is not in the hands of those who think they have it.
ps :P
Session Close: Wed Aug 04 02:24:51 1999
! demo !
Magma/Mentasm
Winner of Saturne 96
Ola. so, after some hours of demowatching, ps and me i showed him
one of my favourites in 1996. they showed up 3ds like you today see
in demos like shad or nomad productions. the lame thing that there
isnt nothing new since then, just camera moving around on the scene,
thats all no interresting morphings, shadows lights, and sometimes
bilinear is missing too. the demo has some traditional effects like
whirpool a la doomsday, just not that colorfull. the overall quality
of the demo is really good, thats why i liked it those days...
btw, where are the mentasm guys today? or they have just one demo
and ended up carreer?
dlee
editor: HAHA! mentasm organize volcanic! : research rules! :P
! intro !
gamma/mfx
3rd place at Abduction 97
Those days and before MFX never could won. this one placed only 3rd
too, but think its still one of the best raytracing intros. well in
256 color, but who cares. there is a scene when 32 ! lights are
shown if i remember correctly. and the whole system is shadowed, the
metaballs too. the music is just the usual hardcore. that time dnb
like things werent flooded us.
mfx/mewlers still rock, and they are the last big groups left
from Finland.
dlee
! music !
On me by Hunz
Ack, hungarians are all techno and mp3 junkies! no good music this
week so i review the on me series beeing remixed all the time. good
vocals from hunz, originally for the 80s decade or something like
that music disk went a soft dosk-pop version of the song. Some time
later wayfinder remixed it into an underworld feeling song, quite
catchy and er.. groovy. And now as a tdr release we get another
remix, this time by paniq, not a heavy dnb remix like we would be
lead to believe but a rather fun and stupid summer mix so we now
have 3 on me s. When is the musicdisk coming out?

Ramblings on what happened in 1 year of demojournal
1. What happened to the scene in general..
the coders started going to hicolor hires windows and linux coding.
well linux only mostly in france but...
the graphicians got extinct since the few that exist are good but
are also busy like hell. visualize made a cool comeback. we bow to
his feet heavily and stuff.. :D
musicians go around like hell.. they tend to go more for mp3 stuff
which is not bad if they can track it, save it to wav and convert,
not bad for demoscene that is.. the typical demoscene style music
seems to be going away, psychedelic trance, trip hop, drum and bass,
dub and other new-age sounds seem to be picking up.
2. What is happening in european scene countries..
portugal- groups: dawn3
parties: none
spain- groups: network, incognita, phymosys..
parties: euskal
france- groups: nomad, bomb, skytech, blabla, cocoon, syndrome, gods
parties: volcanic, ltp..
uk- groups: tesko..
