I have been mostly eating... cartoons =====! interview !============================================================= Session Start: Sat Jul 24 11:25:46 1999 *** radix has joined #demojournal <|ps|> hi radix! :) who are you? :) Hi! I'm a 20 year old boy, living in Stockholm, Sweden.. Well mentally I'm probably 12 years old. My greatest passions are composing music, watching cartoons and writing litterature <|ps|> and how did you get to be a part of this thing we call scene? :) Well it started sometime in '91 when I borrowed a 1200baud modem from a friend. Called some local bbs's and got in touch with the sysops who were in various groups at that time. Earlier i had started playing around with soundtracker on amiga, so i spread around some of my work, and after a while i was good enough to join my first group. <|ps|> and what group was that? it was called Meka Design. We made some 40k productions with my chipmusic <|ps|> what year was this? ps: 92-93 <|ps|> how were things back then compared to nowdays? well back then i was 12-13 years old, so everything was so mysterious and exciting. i had huge respect for the people who had been in the scene for a while. i guess the respect part is the biggest difference <|ps|> how did you went from those times to nowdays fame and glory?:) fame and glory? right :) well i just tracked and tracked music. i got better, i hope :). <|ps|> dont be modest now :) you have any favorite personal tracks? from yourself that is :) i dont like my own stuff, really. when i compose them i listen to them like thousands of times. but i guess i can say that i'm more pleased with some of my tracks. for example i'm happy with Donovan's Moonbike <|ps|> do you listen back to them once youve finished them like.. lots of time after... do you feel like re-doing the tunes or do they sound finished properly? well i think i found them pretty flawless at the time i composed them. if i listen to a track from last year i would find some stuff i'd like to change <|ps|> which brings us to current days, what have you been doing lately? I've been working on various projects. some cd projects and also some future demo plans. we'll see how all that turns out <|ps|> what about your real life, what do you do nowdays? well my "real" life consists of taking it easy with my friends. watching videos or something, the exciting things in life like that :) <|ps|> i mean what do you do for a living :) study/work that kind of thing :) I'm not doing anything like that at the moment. Later this fall i might be starting some studying. dont know yet if i will get accepted at the school. <|ps|> what was the first demoparty you attended? it was ECC or TCC, dont remember what it was called.. it was a party in sweden '92 i think <|ps|> what is your best and worst memory of it? my best memorey was when they played Probes track in the music compo. the compos were great at that time. when a compo started everyone would gather together to watch it, voting was a really serious matter at that time. my worst memory was when i threw up in the toilet. but i'm glad i dont remember it very clearly <|ps|> hehe, is it true about the tradition swedish demoparties have on boozing? :) nah i dont know, not much more than any other country. and as far as i'm concerned i think it's really silly <|ps|> silly? why? :) drunk people just act like total jerkoffs. it's just plain stupid. i dont have anything against drinking, not at all. but i have witnessed too much bad things happening when people get too drunk and violent <|ps|> :P what was the best demoparty you ever attended? i think it was tp3. it was awesome :) <|ps|> why do you say so? it had great atmosphere, very good releases. I still remember when i saw Arte from Sanity for the first time on that bigscreen. And the sequel to State of the Art from Spaceballs, 9 fingers was also released there. <|ps|> are you ready for demojournal's super top quizshow contest? :) yeah! <|ps|> 1. whats your favorite color? blue <|ps|> 2. whats the capital of madagascar? Antananarivo <|ps|> 3. how much wood would a woodcutter cut if a woodcutter would cut wood? Can i get back to you on that? Have to ask my grandpa <|ps|> 4. what is the relation to you of the son of your sisters grandfather? go ask this one to your grandpa too :) well if i had a sister, her grandfathers son would be my dad or my uncle? yes i better ask him Java once drew a picture of my sister <|ps|> i though you didnt have a sister :P As far as I know i don't have one. But Java seems to know her :/ She is really pretty, too! <|ps|> really? can i have that pic? :P anyways.. 5. what is the earth's radius measured over the equador line in meters? i think it's something like 40.000.000m sure i can send it [ed: winner pic from remedy99 btw] <|ps|> please do :) so whats your favorite demo of all times then? :) I think that is Baygon or something produced by Melon Dezign on Amiga :) brilliant stuff :) <|ps|> baygon? isnt that an anti-bug spray? ;) i dont know? might be :) <|ps|> hehe :P what are your favorite coders, trackers, gfxians? that are active today? <|ps|> anything! you pick :) you know.. that pic is said to be pixelled from a magazine.. which means that girl actually exists! :) so you actually have a sister :P ok, my favourite coder is Raven/TPOLM, favourite musician is MD/TPOLM and my favourite graphician is Thor/TPOLM [ed: THOR RULESS!!!!] yes she is out there somewhere! <|ps|> you seem to keep it in the family. why is TPOLM so good? :) they are the most beautiful people i know <|ps|> :) so what are your plans for the future on the scene? i dont know. lately i have been really disappointed at certain people in the scene, at a degree i have lost alot of will to continue. but we'll see. probably i'll go on tracking music like i always have <|ps|> i hope you do, you have any particular projects going on? yes but they are all secret :) <|ps|> :P your no fun! :) where do you get your inspiration to track? from everywhere.. mostly from the one i love above everything else in the world <|ps|> aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... isnt that sweet :) :D <|ps|> what tracker do you use nowdays? fasttracker2 mostly. though madtracker2 looks really interesting. i hope it will be accepted by the scene soon, cause that what it's all about. if no one uses it there's not much point for me to use it, cause i want people to be able to listen to my tracks :) <|ps|> where can ppl get madtracker? check out www.maz-sound.com <|ps|> why do you prefer madtracker over the rest? over fasttracker mainly.. :) well it supports stereo samples and it has better features like realtime filters. and it's also a tracker for win32 so it can be run at the same time as let's say Soundforge. being able to task between different programs, to make all the samples. right now i use two computers. one for ft2 and one for processing all the samples, and i have them connected in a small network <|ps|> humm.. you have any synths or that sort of machinery aswell? i only have my Roland JV1080 <|ps|> is that enough for your tracking needs? :) yeah i guess it is. i can get a hold of most things i need from it. and if i want some analog kind of sounds there are a bunch of excellent soft synths out there <|ps|> ok, well.. i dont know whatelse to ask. you want to say anything in particular? :) nah i dunno :) <|ps|> oh yeah! where do you find the names for your songs? where i find them? i dont know :). some of them i just come up with when i listen to the track. <|ps|> wanna say hi to friends (some more hi's hehe) i'd like to say hello to the TPOLM family and my friend Tove special Hi's to Nisse! <|ps|> hehe, no thanks to your dogs/cats? I doubt my cat will ever read this! but *hugs* to robin! <|ps|> hehe, you have an homepage and an email? :) *free advertising time!* www.tpolm.com/~radix radix@tpolm.com there are scary pictures of me on my homepage! ask your mom for permission! <|ps|> :P ok, thx a million for this interview radix! :) no problemo! adeus! <|ps|> haha! :) bye Session Close: Sat Jul 24 13:20:33 1999 =====! demo !================================================================== *strike* =====! intro !================================================================= *strike* =====! music !================================================================= on me (paniq rmx) paniq / tdr scene.org (tdr release #114) june99 Even when it's called remix, the structure of the song has changed a lot. Paniq took the samples and assembled them into happy-hardcore -influenced bigbeat (this specification of style was used in info file and I liked it so much that I had to use it :). This one isn't special in the musical form (no art:) but, as writes paniq, it's fun to listen to. And that's the reason for downloading. Camel without filter Co-Op (pedro & guy) / cbr http://www.cbr.avnet.it feb 98 This one was rated as 3rd best on tracked worx'98 cd (maz). So I had to download it. Info file says it's funk. Well Ok, if you did smoke something you didn't know what it was and were riding on the camel. That's what they did to the funk. It's just ... great ! Btw 2nd was 'Iron curtain' by Hunz and 1st 'Dead lock' by Elwood. Check Maz (www.fh-zwickau.de/~maz) for details. It's somewhere between old news. "Strangers" Drax / MoN eh, don't know (www.xs4all.nl/~mon maybe) 1999 I love songs made with sine sample only. Do I have to say anything more? Maybe that Wave also did some - Stranglehold I, II and 1999. But you have to know them. Downloading 4k won't kill you. "for marie" xerxes www.level-d.com 1999 This one is better than the previous level-d releases by him. Xerxes uses approved procedures in tracking, but he has updated his sample gallery and made nice ballad, which floats on and on and then, suddenly disappears. I also like it's instrumentation which is more advanced than in some of his previous releases. That's good old xerxes once again with one of his top songs. "Helden der Stille" (mp3) Vivid / KFMF kosmic.org 1999 Vivid back again. Pretty dark again. Experimental again. That's all what has to be said. It could be used in a film. Place "Stalker" into the unknown city in the Germany and this track is what perfectly fits. It sounds like other vivid's tunes with it's darkness but it's more electronical. Damned good. Moisture (party edit) Jobe/KiloBite ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/1999/vm99/mmul/jbe_vm99.zip http://kilobite.cjb.net winner of VM'99 multichannel compo. Pretty strange track. Text file included. I don't understand to it but words like "Satanic Sanitation" or "Necronomicon" are enough for me. The tune is strange as the text file but it's really good. It's weird sound is done by structure and especially by the samples. To be exact, style of this music is similar to songs like 'Bodies and sorrows' by Mojo or 'Da water of Oblivion' by Manual (places 3,4 at gardening'97). If you have not heard any of the songs, get this one to know what I'm talking about, else you know what and the decision is on you. Thanks to Bitnik / KiloBite for the tip. tryhuk =====! quote !================================================================= i don't want fame, i want hash =====! question !============================================================== > question of the week: > is hplus better then alien sex clone or not? i believe it is. -baloo H+ is not an intro, it's a living form. -Knos yes. but it's not as good as clone meets clone. -Sagacity [editor: clone meets clone rules the clone series!] not -zden hplus is better than alien sex clone. hplus is not part of a cloning factory -distance ho yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees ! alien is very-very-very good too, but i think hplus is so..... ass-kicking =) -rez hplus is porn and alien sex clone is just a kiss! x-) bitnik / body hammer & kilobite i liked hplus very much, it's a trippy thing. Well aliensexclone i've seen only once. Or maybe not even once. But I think once. If it was the winner peezee intro from tp8.I liked hlpus more. It's looped haha. And i have an amiga so i have no clue about peezee things anyway...Blaaaaaaaaaaaah. -teo . kangooroo^exceed hplus rocks.. nice design.. surprising! alien sex clone... nice effects... erm... its nice too i dunno.. i think i prefer hplus :) -ser yes. bearing in mind that alien sex clone does not work on my computer, grr, grr, argh. -Vampyr hplus is art, alien sex clone is just an intro. can't compare them. -melwyn 'hplus' is better, because 'alien sex clone' requires some alien video mode not supported by my card... i haven't seen it yet ;) -mrock alien sex clone rullzz :) -gardner that's boring. what about "is sex better than coding or is real life just an illusion?" -bam [editor: i think you watched the matrix one too many times] ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] commercial break!
