This week! I have been mostly eating... silver-bullets
! interview !
Session Start: Sat Mar 20 01:06:57 1999
*** superhoe has joined demojournal
superhoe Flam!
ps hello! so who are you sir?
superhoe Hello my name is dr. green thu.. erm. Erik Lyden
prev. known aaaas Carebear/Orange or whatever they called
me on the Amiga days ...
ps and the question is... what do you do?
superhoe Professional trickery.. music. And I can code a
rotate-zoomer.
ps wow!!!! rotozoomer!!!! :
superhoe Yes.. that is pretty impressive
ps for how long are you around?
superhoe For how long am I around.. as long as this interviews
been complete, at least D
ps i mean in the scene! :P smart-ass
superhoe heehhehe .. Yeah, it depends.. I was AWARE of the scene
in something like 1990-1991 I started making mods with
Soundtracker Amiga on 1991 or so forgive me if I
remember these wrong, but at least they should be
somewhat right My first party was Assembly93.. so lets
say maybe I was in the scene officially then..
ps so that makes... 6 years? : damn your old! :P how old are
you actually?
superhoe Yeah, if you start counting from 93.. 6 years.
Me? 1 month to 20 years
DONT BRAG ABOUT IT .. ive always been the youngest in
ALL the groups ive belonged in
ps whizzkid! :P
superhoe heh, I take that as a compliment..
ps so you where all happy the other day about getting a job or
smtg... care to say something more about that? :
superhoe Well. Thats not a big secret. I happen to be a ugly
computer nerd because I love playing games So naturally
my musician career eventually leads me to making
*tanttaramdamdaa* - surprisingly - to make game music
You see, making the game music is just great. Its just a
neverending pursuit of capturing the feeling that the
game/situation requires
It can be really challenging.. and therefore very
enjoyable
ps you getting well paid or thats internal erik lyden stuff?
superhoe Im afraid its very much internal. I hate saying that,
but it aint actually up to my decision if to say it or
not.. I mean, I hate saying its internal
ps hehe : so what are your plans scene wise? also internal
affairs? :
superhoe My plans.. eh. I knew this would come.. well. If we are
talking about my plans, I have some basic things ive been
trying to do..
ps like...
superhoe First of all, I still want to keep doing good demos, which
I myself enjoy watching too. What are beautiful, well done
And where is a joy to see your tune used well
Just for a greeting, JMagic has done just that in Godog..
just mentioning because I think that is maybe the best
demo ive ever participated in imho
.. and, for the second thing
ps how many demos have you participated in btw?
superhoe I have no idea. I just noticed few days ago that I dont
even have all the tunes ive done left..
Naah, theres not 4000+ Theres something like.. I just
dont know. Demos intros.. maybe 10-20.. could be more
I never actually kept track
but, for the second thing..
The second thing is that.. I still try besides my
limited time to do something with the new groups as
well. Because there is an upcoming talent. This attitude
is mainly because of Blasphemy.. Im not saying that
Blasphemy necessarily are newcomers, but when I made
music to Louis Lane.. I actually did it blind-folded,
I had never heard about the group. I just wanted to try
And the demo turned out very good, I liked it myself very
much, and it seems that so did the great public.. hello
boys girls
ps you know you are gonna get flooded with musical requests now
dont you? :
superhoe Yes.. but as I said, I try to keep up with the new
talent. My time is limited, and I dont do many modules
nowadays.. For the last year, every .XM ive made has
been more or less tailored for something.. made upon
request. So if that tune request flood comes, let me then
add something - If I refuse, that is mainly because I
dont have time.. Inspiration is sometimes limited too.
ps so what about your life? what else do you besides doing
game-music? :
superhoe Me? Well.. my life is pretty basic. I study a bit very
little actually.. love my gf and in the summer, I let
some steams out with my in-line skates. I drink coffee,
I scratch my cat, I enjoy social moments with my friends.
And I love Thousand Island salad dressing.
ps salad dressing? :P
superhoe Yeah.. its that stuff when you slice some vegetables out
and put that thing on top of em to make them taste better
ps humm sounds interesting! :P
superhoe Well.. what could I say
ps what are your musician influences? games? :
superhoe I dont actually have a lot of influences. Ive been
asked this zillions of times and Im always forced to
answer: I dont know.
If I must name some influences, I have to say something
strange.. my influence is life in general
ps like what? little things in life?
superhoe For example, I drove a 150km+ from Helsinki to Tampere..
all the way 120km/h-180km/h.. then I came home
ps yes...
superhoe Blam. Then I made some really fast beats. And all the way
I drove the car, I hummed some really fast basslines and
banged the steering wheel with the beats..
Thats a good example of my influences ..
ps hehehe and you didnt crashed? :P
superhoe Nooo.. of course not. I never do
knock on the wood, yeah D
ps :P ed: dont try this at home kids!!!
do you listen to much tracked music by others?
superhoe Hmm.. good question. In case no. Maybe I should..
I listen to others tracks sometimes But very seldom
Im too lazy to download, and theres a way too much
artists.. when I listen to others, I usually listen to
old Amiga 4-chs from my very own A1200 HD
ps do you listen to commercial music?
superhoe Commercial.. well, yeah.. I am a music freak after all..
and I do love listening to music. In case im one of
those persons who listen to music all the time
ps name some
superhoe Hmm. I have a wide range.. if the music is well done,
almost everything goes.. Jarre, Beck, Beastie Boys, A
Tribe Called Quest and all good hip hop in general
70s soul
Orbital.. Fluke.. Chemical Brothers
ps sounds like a regular musical junkie to me! :
superhoe Lots of trip hop in general. Yeah, I confess
ps what about demo wise. you like viewing demos? what are your
favorites?
superhoe I dont have a too fast machine myself.. I seldom watch
demos. But some rare pieces I do watch, and of course the
ones ive participated in making. I cant say what is my
favourite.. demos are so many as well
ps cammon... say some names! :
superhoe Just the same thing as in the music.. I just cant say
what is my favourite.. sorry, I must be a difficult person
to interview D
Well. Coma has things that are original. Liked em for
years - and worked with Virne as well, because of that
Not just because im a member, Komplex is my all time
favourite especially from the Amiga
HiRMU: Muna is absolutely amazing
ps ok, so lets go into pixels! you view some pics occasionally or
also no?
superhoe No.. never I cant recall if ive ever dld any pics
since 97 .. I enjoy my pixels mostly in the demos hehe
I cant draw at all
ps then what are you doing on pixel all the time?
superhoe Well, I guess 5 of the ppl on pixel are actually
graphicians.. heh.. I care about the people, not the
profession.
ps uhhhhhhhh are we getting filosophical? :
superhoe Of course not.. or who knows, maybe nothing is true,
except the truth itself, which doesnt exist after all
ps oh dear! lets change subject! :P
superhoe Hihii
ps arg! i dont know anything to ask. er... did you ever killed a
living beeing?
superhoe Never. And I never could. Except a mosquito.
ps you murderer!!!
superhoe It hit me first. Actually it stinged me first.
It was self-defense
ps save it for the judge!
superhoe I did, they let me free. Self-defense, as I said.
ps they bought that? idiots
superhoe hah
ps so whats the capital of madagascar anyway?
superhoe Helsinki.
ps wrong answer! how many ppl live in germany?
superhoe Zillion. Move to history rather, im not good at this
geog stuff
ps what came first? the egg or the chicken?
superhoe Cock.
ps :P
superhoe *hysterical laughter*
ps hehe now i really dont know what to ask!
superhoe Well, we can stop this then
ps have anything to say on your behalf? :
superhoe Youve asked all the important questions Who would want
to know anything more.. Well. I love you all
ps : care to leave your mail for the musical requests flood?
superhoe And for the unlimited promotion.. if anyone has a
project - commercial or not - if its potential and you
need beats, contact me. I have motivation to do things..
elyden@level-d.com
ps well, thank you for yor time and accept this offering as a
sign of peace between our worlds oh mighty god of unravelled
fluffyness
superhoe .. ill remember that phrase the rest of my life, you can
be sure of that D
* ps looks around for distance! where the hell did he go?
superhoe distance logged out appr. 35 minutes ago *hint hint*
ps sorry... cant find distance for the sacrifice! :P
guess youll have to go for the normal useless little banner
swapping instead! :P
superhoe Wheres my interview ? Where?
ps its in the mail! :P yeah right...
superhoe Ok, you have 3 days.. then ill come and steal your right
kidney for resale ed: not my kidney!!!
ps bahah! you dont know where i live or how i look like! :D
superhoe are you sure enough.. -
ps yes im sur...e... well! its over! : bye!
editor: better run before he finds out there is no money!
Session Close: Sat Mar 20 02:14:47 1999
! demo !
Jumpy! by Digital Murder party-version
Found at www.scene.org
2nd place at the Volcanic 5 party
System requirements:
Wow! A nfo-file WITH requirements listed! :
Pentium 120, 32MB RAM, 11MB HD !
Dos: Vesa2.0 or univbe.
Win9x/NT: DirectX 2.0 5.0 preferred
A Linux version is available but not included in the party-release.
The demo:
Like most of todays demos, this one has a lot of 3D. Aside from a
few pictures, one could even say this is 100 3D. Is this a bad
thing? Well, it depends on the quality of the 3D, isnt it? And
luckily, the quality of Jumpy!s 3D IS above average. After a
film-like intro Group-presents-demo in space, we see a skysurfer
falling from the sky. This is done very well: the movements are
realistic, the man is not composed of blocks or cylinders but is
almost real, the textures are clearly larger then the average
256*256... Sometimes a TV-effect is used, looks like an interlaced
videomode. I dont like those horizontal lines, but Ive to admit it
brings some variation, and its used sparsely. In the next 3D scene
the same man does a bungee jump from a mountain bridge. Whoaaa!
Impressive! And with those short slogans ... Temptation always
finds a way!
A very strange blur-zoom effect dives into a womans eye, to the
earth, to an island. Hmm, OK. There ARE 2D-effects too. I expected
another 3D-scene, playing at an island, but we get some very good
pictures instead. The greetings follow in several cool fonts, while
we fly through some tunnels, ending in space. This part breaks with
the atmosphere from the previous parts. And the next 3D part is even
more different: a baby dancing at a stage with lots of mirrors around
him. The last part can run as a stand-alone part of the demo. It
features a drummer, playing a long drum solo, with lots of effects
like vertical blur, inverted colors, the TV-effect ... By changing
the drum-module, you can control the drummer. Somehow I feel this
part is too long, and I think the drummer is less realistic then the
other characters, but maybe thats because the camera moves much
closer. The pictures are well done: a logo visible for 1/2 second,
some retouched photos I think of the skysurfer the bungee-jumper,
a very good grayscale face leg, and a cover from some advert: a
girl with angels wings.
The Music:
Starting slowly during the intro, the music quickly changes to
techno, lots of fast beats, but with enough melody to keep it good.
Not much synchronizing, but it follows the speed of the demo
perfectly. Apart from a short break during the pictures, the same
style is kept till the drum-part. I dont really like the drum-solo,
but as Im no musician, I dont pretend to be able to do it better.
And hey, its perfectly synced to the movement of the drummer :
Worth the download:
Yes. Especially if you like fast-paced demos, or when you want to
see a drummer play your self-made drum-mod XM, actually. The only
serious drawback IMHO is the feeling: the whole first part
until the tunnel evokes a feeling of freedom, skysurfing
bungee-jumping, looking for kicks... The greeting-tunnel is already
different, and the baby really doesnt fit with the rest. Another
thing is the big size: 11 Meg is quite a lot. Tip: delete
jumpywin.exe midas.dll, it saves about a Meg. After all, this demo
deserves full-screen, so who needs a window?
Seven
! intro !
Nocturnal: Mind over Matter Hype 99 democateghory 3rd.
Yeah man belive me, only this intro is worth to download from this
party, if you wanna see good design, wanna hear mindfucking music,
and the usual code! I thought if Nocturnal than Lone Wolf made again
some ambient stuff, he didnt so Xhale made asskickin basses, and
rock my speakers to their end! Really good work, congratulation! And
the colors and everything fits - a little bad mooded intro, but
iam in bad mood too now, hehh.
Other good production from the party the Replay demo.
as always. hi baloo and goofy.

! music !
Streets of Budapest / Carlos jazz quartet
Hey! I wanna present to you a great module in very rare style -
free jazz. To be honest Ive never heard such a unique tune on the
scene. The best thing - samples. They are perfectly matched and sound
wonderful. The piano gives character to this tune. The drums
accompanying the piano are very interesting. Bass - this is beautiful
too played on contrabass. After some improvisation on piano, there
is a main theme played on saxophone. In the background, you can also
hear piano. Eh... piano, piano... it is everywhere : Next thing...
improvisation on the bass a bit accompanied with drums. The main
part - theme played by all instruments together. And thats the end.
The tune isnt very long, so you surely wont get bored. I
recommend this module to all people who appreciate a good jazz and
improvisation.

The worlds most popular active diskmag. Freeware.
Sylvia Krasnieski was born in San Francisco, California, as the daughter of
a Polish father and a half-French, half-Italian mother. Right now she is 24
years old and one of the worlds top models. Actually I wanted to study
art, she says. But when I won the Supermodel contest some years ago, I
decided I had no other choice than to start a professional model career. Now
I am mainly a model but use as much of my spare time as possible to study.
We asked her where she got the energy to be a model and study at the same
time. In a mysterious voice, she answered: I got it from my leisure
activities when I was still at highschool. This gave me the happiness and
motivation I need for my career. Being asked for details, Sylvia says: I
spent as much time as possible going out with my friends. And whenever I was
alone, I used to read my Hugi.
Peter Rosenthal was born in New York City as the son of a Jewish father and
a half-German, half-British mother. Right now he is 21 years old and already
the director of the one of the worlds leading software companies. Our
success comes from an innovative software engineering tool called NeuroCode,
whose development I have already started when I was at highschool. It makes
programming much easier because of its artificial intelligence. You just
have to implement the basic concepts, and then the program will do
everything for you based on your dialogue with it. In other words, you talk
to the intelligent program. And it anticipates your wishes. We asked him
where he got the inspiration for this innovation. He said, I used to
discuss all kinds of problems with my friends. In this way I got a lot of
ideas. And whenever I was alone, I used to read my Hugi.

RIPPED GRAPHICS IN HUGI 14: THE TRUE STORY
Adok/Hugi
Since I get a lot of spam via e-mail, I am accustomed to delete
every mail looking like spam immediately. It was only pure chance
that I did not delete the mail I got from the webmaster of a
porn-site on Sunday, March 14th. The subject caught my attention. It
was: Stolen Artwork. Unbelievable! What does a porn-site have to do
with artwork? I began to read.
Some of my artwork was stolen and used in your issue 14. Can
you please direct me to the appropriate person that can rectify this
problem? I want my artwork REMOVED from your e-mag.
Was that a new kind of spam? Or was it meant seriously? How did an
ominous porn-site-webmaster get Hugi? What artwork could be ripped
from a porn-site? We have never published any porn-picture in Hugi.
In order to ensure that the mail was serious, I replied with the
following: Of course I will remove the stolen artwork. But you
have to tell me who you are and what exact artwork you mean. How
can you prove that you are its creator? As soon as I have got your
answer, I will contact the author immediately.
On the next day I got the reply. It turned out that the webmaster
of the ominous porn site was DaVinci of iCE. Everyone who has some
knowledge of the art-scene knows what iCE is. It is a huge
art-group. DaVinci, one of many members, creates pixel graphics using
Photoshop. My interest was arisen. I took an extensive look at his
personal homepage and realized that the logo on the navigation page
was quite similar to the winning picture in the Hugi Logo Competition
by DARKflare/ActiveFuel. The border was identical, and the background
of DARKflares picture was an image in the Lightening Tutorial at
DaVincis homepage. For me, there was no doubt that the roots of the
contest-winning picture were here.
On his Rip-Off page, DaVinci showed a screenshot of DARKflares
picture. The text below said: This piece of stolen artwork is the
winning entry for a splash screen contest for HUGI DISK MEGA ZINE.
HUGI14. FEB99 http://home.pages.de/hugidownload/ Despite my begging
and pleading, the thief stole my DaVinci logo from this site, chopped
out the inside, used the lightening images from my lightening
tutorial he didnt even make his own, then he ripped off the name
bar from my Fravia logo to put the name HUGI disk magazine on. The
artist credited for this mess is Darkflare of ActiveFuel. He even
signed his name on the lower left corner. ... If youre wondering
why Im uptight about my artwork, here is the reason why.
The next step for me to do was to contact DARKflare and inform him
on the matter. I could not believe anyone would risk sending stolen
graphics to Hugi, as our Legal Stuff section clearly states that all
contributions have to be free of third-party-rights.
A few hours later I got DARKflares answer, which he had also sent
to DaVinci. He showed great concern. He admitted not having made the
picture all by himself but having used some of DaVincis images.
However, he said that he had been given permission to use the
graphics by a fake DaVinci.
Since it was now obvious that this picture had violated
third-party-rights, I disqualified it from the logo competition and
removed it from Hugi.
In this way the other places moved up by one. Luminos/MAC was now
the true winner of the competition. His picture was used as the
closing picture in the new version of Hugi 14. I uploaded Hugi 14
v1.1 on March 17th and announced it in several newsgroups.
At this occasion I want to appeal to everyone once again that
every contribution to Hugi has to be free of third-party-rights.
This spares us all a lot of trouble and work.
With this, I want to officially apologize to DaVinci.

DaVincis reply
editor: i contacted davinci asking if he had anything to say...
he has! : and here it is...
ps: thanks for your note. I guess what Id like to say is that Im
happy to have received cooperation from both adok and the group
ActiveFuel. Both were embarassed by this incident, and the whole
thing is most unfortunate.
Whats really a shame is that Darkflare does not have the courage
to confess to stealing my work, but instead says he received
permission from a fake DaVinci. Thats ridiculous because he
knows me, knows that Im in phrozencrew on Efnet, and knows where
my site is and how to contact me. Anyway, he must now suffer the
penalty for his actions, and his name is forever ruined in the art
scene community. He has proven to be untrustworthy, a thief, and a
liar.
In closing I would like to thank the thousands of visitors to my
site who know my work and report back to me when they see it used
without my permission. If someone rips me, they will get caught.
Its not a question of IF, but a question of WHEN. We should all
work together and learn from each other instead of ripping each
others work. It is in the spirit of fellowship and of sharing our
techniques that we all grow and improve together.
Best regards,
DaVinci iCE / Phrozen Crew
About ActiveFuel
Well, im a member of ActiveFuel sort of and i would just like to
add that ActiveFuel are now dead sort of and new group with some
members of the ActiveFuel is now born called Frequency i think.

Subject: MAZ: TW98 voting / 2800 prices!
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 00:31:35 +0100
From: maz maz@fh-zwickau.de
Hi there!
Good news, MAZ proudly presents:
! Vote for your favourite song @ tracked worx 98 !
Theres a price-pool of stuff worth 500 for the voters an original
GUS PnP with Interwave for instance and prices worth 2300 US for
the three winning artists/groups, sponsored by TerraTec, RME
Intelligent Audio Solutions and by the german Hoontech distributor
RIDI multimedia.
Since I saw damn lame people at demo parties who personally tried
to convince all people they know to vote for their crap in this
case instead of respecting the work of the other crews as well as
they want to see the own work respected:
Please support good artists who actually DESERVE to get the prices
in your opinion! Dont vote for the lamest song because you think
this will help pushing your own one to top - you waste the power of
your vote.
Uhh, another lame people thing: Users have reported two songs of
the TW98 CD, which are an obvious 99 rip of another song which I
didnt know, shame on me, in both cases the songtext clearly claims
its an own creation. I will release a list with the names of songs
and author names in the next days at my NEWS-page. Of course those
guys will be happily disqualified from voting and winning.
If you think you could be one of those two guys, just contact me
BEFORE I put your name online.
OK, the voting sheet and pics/descriptions of all prices are online
at http://www.maz-sound.com/vote/ or for the europeans at
http://www.fh-zwickau.de/maz/vote/
