I have been mostly eating... broken wings =====! interview !============================================================= Session Start: Sun Oct 10 22:11:04 1999 *** NitroTRM has joined #demojournal hi ho silver <|ps|> so who are you? :) Hi, I'm Nitro, musician and a beginner-level 3d-graphician My real name is Kai-Eerik Komppa. I live in Helsinki, Finland <|ps|> and what do you do on real life? I work too much :) I am enrolled nurse (now this is real) which is my dayjob, and I have a few music-related project going on for the rest of my time. For example, I have now a project of arranging and producing a music of one promising female singer, Teque/Trauma has also his hands in it too.. <|ps|> trauma.. what's it's story? :) Whoo.. to make it short.. Trauma was formed from three groups (Hysteria & Dee & Dubius) because all members knew each other and had several co-ops going on all the time.. so we just decided to "join forces".. I think it was a right thing to do. Nowadays we all have something to do with computers on real life too, therefore our productivity is a bit slow etc. Personally, having a dayjob of all different trade, I can do more.. that's why I joined. that's actually very recent (joining that is:)) <|ps|> when did you first started into computers? uuuh.. back in -82 my brother and I had a shared present, in xmas I think, it was a Sinclair Spectrum 48k.. cool gear! I even coded on it then :-) I think that there is still even a Spectrum-scene alive today, really <|ps|> there is? Yeah.. my brother claimed he found some demos on web that run with an emulator.. I haven't seen em tho:) <|ps|> i heard you recently joined kooma? yeah, I have been hanging around with Los/kooma and he was designing a demo, but had no music.. and for some reason he asked if I'm interested in composing for that.. and since even Virne liked my tune, I thought that what the hell, if I'm good enough for them, I want to join since Trauma is really on/off group nowadays because all the other members are pro's with computers.. or something :) ..and, to make it clear, I applied to join, they didn't ask me :-) <|ps|> hehe :) so what are your plans scene wise for the future? Oh.. I still want to make music, and if I manage to develop my skills further on 3d, I'll be doing that too.. I have a secret (shhh) dream that I'll get to bigscreen one day in animationcompo, having my own soundtrack in it:) No really I am pretty serious on this 3d right now <|ps|> lets talk music... what do you use to make your music? I have some gear.. Korg X3, Yamaha cs1x, Yamaha TG55 as synths, then some fx-processors and a 20-channel mixer.. When I do trackermusic, I use good 'ol FT2. I never got excited on IT, since I allready used synths when IT got superior.. and believe me, using synths and other midi-gear is better way than any tracker. <|ps|> for how long have you been composing now? My first releaseable tunes got out on -91 I think.. ..but there was a dramatic improvement on -95 when I got my first synth:-) Oh, btw I recently also got in traxinspace so now there's _some_ place for me to put my mp3's whenever I got something to release:-) (there's 1 now, but I'll upload more) <|ps|> nitro: woho! why didnt you get an homepage before? oh, it's not a homepage even:-) just an account on that community in web (www.traxinspace.com).. I have been inactive with it just simply because I'm lazy and I haven't had so much fate in my material that it should be so much released.. or something (I'm repeating myself:)) <|ps|> anyways, what are your inspirations for your tracks? lots of things.. some tracks born out of random "jamming" with keyboards, if I get a nice chords (by mistake usually:)).. then sometimes I get my hands on a pile of great samples that inspire.. or sometimes I just have a clear vision of a tune or a part of a tune for example soundtrack on machines of madness was entirely created on the long resonation-sound playing on it all the time.. I just thought that a long rez would be cool:-) <|ps|> :) are you ready for demojournal top quiz show contest? never more! That's not, but I think that you can not be less interested!:-) Shoot me! <|ps|> 1. whats your favorite color? balck black even:) <|ps|> 2. whats the capital of mexico? Mexico-tequila-city! <|ps|> 3. whats is the speed of light? certainly enough. Really. I mean it. <|ps|> 4. whats your favorite book and movie of all times? hmm.. book would be Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and movie is...movie .. hmm.. can I name 4? no? then it's "Big Lebowski". <|ps|> you can name 4 B.L., Rosemary's Nightmare, Matrix, Star Wars <|ps|> 5. if you died and got ressurec, what animal would you like to be? this is easy.. of course An Ass! <|ps|> i said an animal.. it IS an animal:) no really.. I would be a locust. I like to be in a croud:) <|ps|> do you have a pet? no. I have had guinea-pigs in "a previous life", but nowadays, living single, I can't have any. I'm never home etc.. you know <|ps|> what parties did you ever attended? which ones were the best and worst? I have attended on every assembly since '94 ..then I have been on TP5, but, being busy _and_ lazy bastard, that's about it. I liked TP or asm95 best, but I did not enjoy last asm too much.. maybe because we ruined our demo on the last moment:-) _and_ because there were no enough tickets, damn it:) <|ps|> how was last asm? you got 2nd on 3d acc yeah, well, the new partyplace is cool. There's all the positive things I have to say about it..:-) No really, most people seemed to have a great time there.. I'm still a bit sad about a few technical things that made our demo to look-not-so-good:).. 2nd, well, it was nice, I think that we have some "fans" here that voted us.. and Teque's & !Cube's soundtrack was great on that demo. <|ps|> im running out of questions now.. :) you have anything to say to your fans? Hey! Is there any!:-) In future, from time to time, check out traxinspace for my new tunes. Do not hesitate to contact if you want me to make music for _your_ demo, there's allways room for atleast conversation on that subject. Have a happy life! <|ps|> ok.. drop your mail :) your mail not your pants you sick pervert! uh. Use my hotmail, I'll check it once a week. kaitsu5@hotmail.com. Other contact info also available at http://sauna.net/trauma wow :) <|ps|> well.. thank you so much for your time nitro :) don't mention it. I think that you're a great man for scene, keeping us alive. I'm your fan! :) <|ps|> wow its when i hear comments like these that i realize why i didnt stopped demoj yet.. :D [editor: :~)] Session Close: Sun Oct 10 23:25:53 1999 =====! demo !================================================================== Chained by Agravedict (party-version) Found at www.scene.org (Horizon'99/demo/01.rar) 1st place at Horizon'99 System requirements: (An info-file WITH requirements! The crowd goes wild!) Required: Pentium+MMX, 16 MB RAM, 3 MB HD, Vesa2 with LFB Recommended: P225, 32MB RAM, DOS (but works with Win) I'm not sure which musicplayer they used, but it supports SB clones. The demo: Chained is mainly a 3D-demo. The biggest part is a long ride over a very detailed PC-motherboard. It's a strange combination of flat & phongshaded objects, with & without textures, existing & imaginary components. It's original, f.e. the greetings are visible on secondary chips, but it lasts too long. Sometimes it's better to reveal only brief glimpses instead of a long showoff, so the watcher wants to see it again, rather then becoming bored. A second 3D-world shows us the room of a lone scener, and bestows upon us a Message. I'm not fond of Messages (notice the capital), but the demoscene-objects made me smile (deja vu, who hasn't some scene books & CDs in his/her room?). Non-standard 3D is at the start of the demo, during the credits, when a nice real-time raytrace-engine kicks in. It shows some balls floating in a cylindrical room, with walls, ceiling, floor and balls all mirroring. It's slightly blurred (2*2 blocks), but looks good enough to make me wish there was another ray-scene in the demo. 2D-effects are few and simple, like fading letters, a colorful horizontal blur and an extremely simple water-reflection (sinus-wobbling, yawn). Regarding graphics, two handdrawn logos (Agravedict & Chained) with an oldschool feel give the demo a kick-start, the first is very nice & colorful, the second is a bit flat-colored. Further there are a few poster-textures in the 3D-room, and a mediocre landscape. And hey! An ANSI-endscreen! That's been a long time. Hope some groups follow the example. The music reminds me of my inability to categorize music :) Something between standard demo music & dnb ? Anyway, it's not bad, but could use more variation, maybe a second theme and/or a clear lead. Now it's just the same theme with a few slower breaks. Worth the download ? WARNING: some people say I'm overly positive on newbie-demos and nit picking on "big" demos. That's true :). It's because I expect more from famous groups, and their demos will get downloaded anyway, while smaller groups may need some advertising. If you think that's unfair, keep it in mind while reading my reviews, or write your own 100% objective ones and send them to our grateful editor. That said, Chained is Agravedicts first demo :) OK, they've made several VHS-demos and a few intros, but it's their first PC-demo. In short: Good points: - Raytracing (My favorite effect, it's the future) - Pixeled logos - Some original ideas (main good point of many new groups) - Low requirements Bad points: - Bad timing (3D too long, first logo too short) - Old effects - Overall quality could be higher (music, pictures, design) So decide yourself, I didn't regret downloading it. Seven =====! intro !================================================================= Bakkslide 7 by hellcore+omnicolor 1st place at takeover99 Mrock asked me why didn't i ever reviewed bakkslide 7.. and well.. i simply had forgotten about it and dlee never picked it up for a review so here it comes now. :) This is one of the best intros ever! Heavy on design and feeling, it goes with hi-res greyscalled weird effects synced deeply with an awesome soundtrack by yeks/omnicolor.. It's really hard to describe this intro, it's easier seen then explained.. imagine a te-2rb on intro with some deep words scattered around and thats the closest definition of bakkslide7 i can give you. I'm sorry this is short but i'm really not cut out for reviews :P ps =====! music !================================================================= "Hold", "Four steps to emptiness" Aisth www.aisth.com (7MB) Aisth offers three demo songs on their homepage. First one is "Box" which was 3rd at Assembly'99 in mp3 competition and which was reviewed here already. [ed: wasnt box 2nd? at asm?] Another two songs are "Hold" and "Four steps to emptiness" and they prove experimental sound of Aisth's music, where the most important instrument is human voice. All other instruments are secondary, only drums remain. They don't have a tight place or form and melody often changes in strange ways. Song may start in classical way, but since beginning you'll hear secondary melodies moving in strange ways and slowly eating up whole song. Interesting is that this songs won't leave in you a feeling of electronical music. Even when there's a lot of inluences from various styles and a lot of synth- instruments, songs sound naturally. It isn't too much catchy, something that would you exactly remember, but it sounds interesting and it's worth listening - so go on. Both songs are in mp3 format, first one is 4megs big, second one is 3 megs big. [editor: in case you dont know, and you should by now couz ive already written it like 3 or 4 times before! aisth is jugi/complex + alison (that voice you can hear singing) they recently won the bornonthewww compo and as a reward they got shitloads of studio time and went play life at Los Angeles at the prize ceremony.. There is a cam session of their performance... damn.. i need to go find my mails.. wait! http://vote.artistdirect.com/adoma/webcast/webcast.html here we go... the thing is 2 hours big and aisth were some of the last to play (i havent checked myself.. no bandwidth to get more then 5 seconds stream) so fastforward to see them :)] Haux EP Stereoman www.noisemusic.org (7,5MB) If you didn't like stereoman's electronical-only excesses like Lurc and other, you'll be pleased with this one. This release is more similar to his older works (which I liked more). Again long ambient sounds, this time combined with more electronical instruments which remained from his last works, but they aren't used that often. EP consists of two songs - "Dreamborder" and "rfip (vik)" which are offered separately, so you don't have to download whole 7MB, if you just want to know what it's about. Only if it wouldn't be in mp3 format. tryhuk =====! quote !================================================================= ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] commercial break!

Well, i have read in the dj#59, that our US friend Pyromaniac's favourite graphician is still Das of Shock! (lately Chrome) Why doesn't anyone know him? Why is he still unreachable via e-mail, IRC, or any other way? It seems that only one man knows the secret: Atx of Chrome. (And maybe me. :) I try now to tell the story of Das, and after that there will still be unanswered questions are comming. Das... in the past, he was the ONE. (Not Neo. ;)) The only one quality graphician of Hungary. He came from the dust, and now away in the dawn... There was no Xtro (Filler), Enok, Blackhand, Warpig or Inferno at that time. Rack/Majic12 was the only one and REAL hungarian concurent of the mighty Das/Absolute! Yes, you understand right, he isn't from our nice country, he is from Finland! Atx met him at Assembly 1994, when some of the hungarian fellows, and groups were present at the party. (groups like: Phantom Design - later Shock! or the last placed demos creator Damons - later Mandula [uhh. Rod will kill me. ;)]) And Atx met a dissapointed and disqualified graphician... he was Das of Absolute PC. His picture wasn't selected for the top 15. But they changed snail mail adresses, and become good friends. They sent Xmas cards to eachother too, love, peace and unity. UNITY! Phantom Design hadn't got a good graphician. Atx was in one group (Absolute PC) with Das. And these people made a historical moment: Shock! - hungary's best known, and most active group born! Great victories have come in several graphic competitions, and lot of good demos ... that was the marriage with Das/Atx and Shock. But one thing never changed, only Atx had the contact with the superb graphician. Even other Shock members didn't knew him. Lot of good rankings, and nobody knew him? The first rumors started then. Some of the hungarian sceners still think that Das is hungarian, and he is Atx's dad! Well if you check in the phone book of Budapest, you can see next to Atx's father the profession: painter-graphician. He really made that "cheat" that a professional entered an amateur competition? I think not. But who knows? ;) Naturally some sceners have seen the real oil versions of Das's art in Budapest's X and Y Gallery. But they were just envious, and talked crap. And when Shock ended up carreer, Das followed Atx to his new group: Chrome, showed his last picture in the demo "Plastik" and after that nobody heard anything from him again. Atx told me that Das ended school, and after his final exams he is painting, and illustrating books. They haven't contacted since 1996 autumn. No postcard, no phonecalls, nothing. But i know the real(?) snailmail adress of Jussi Kaakinen. (Thats his real name.) Because i hope that Das will work on the "Berlin" demoproject too, and after much-much talk Atx finally gave me the adress of Das. But i will not share it with you. I promised. (Maybe i'll force Droid/Haujobb to meet him one time, and talk realtime about the demo, because i think that just an invitation on paper isn't enough...) Now the interresting question: Ok, he lives in Finland... I talked with much .fi sceners, and they were really wondering when i said that he is from Finland... Why wasn't he never on a .fi party (except(?) Assembly '94)?!? Why entered he his pics every time ONLY with Atx?!? (means, only hungarian parties, + the party 96.) And we could ask some more questions... If anyone of you dear demojournal readers know some other facts, or ever met Das personally please write back! (Hahho .fi readers! I hope you know something...) Was ist das? DAS. MOST WANTED. $1000 ;) Btw. did you know that Finns and Hungarians were one nation in the past? Maybe we must find the answer here... d-lee ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] end [:================================================================= :---------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - Download site#1.ftp://flerp.scene.hu/scene/DiskMag/DemoJournal Download site#2.........ftp://ftp.foxfiber.net/pub/demojournal Download site#3.ftp://amber.bti.pl/pub/scene/mags/demo_journal Download site#4.......ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/mags/demojournal Homepage.......................http://demojournal.planet-d.net Mirror.............................http://demojournal.scene.hu Webmaster......Sweeper......................
