DEMOSCENE

Music disks, chiptoonz and pixels at Gerp

I released some stuff at the Gerp demoparty last weekend. The Wheel is a kind of traditional Amiga chiptune, which won the chip compo ahead of some very great tunes by Tempest, Zabutom, Chavez, etc. I entered the 4-channel compo with Thank God It’s Friday, which is more “challenging”. It starts nice, then goes evil, then goes back to nice.

In Mono Where Available is an Amiga music disk by the brand new group MANIA with chip music by Abaddon, JosSs, Reed, Tecon, Tempest, Vent, Vim and two tracks by me. Enjoy good stuff!

TEK’s Knight Chips III was also released at Gerp, with some bangers and a song by me. ^^

Finally, I entered my first pixel art compo with some layered text graphics.

Busy demoscene weekend

Very productive demoscene weekend from me, mostly by releasing stuff at Compusphere in Gothenburg.

But first of all – I did this (pre-recorded) performance at Transmission64.

CMOS Cosmos by Razor1911 is a dentro (about 1 mb) with lots of textmode fun, but also other stuff. Anat, Dubmood, Flopine, Zabutom and me. Oh yeah!

The Line by Up Rough, just a small piece of Amiga ANSI fun that Koobo coded and Tempest and I made the music for.

Hypocrisy was another Up Rough release, not available online yet. But it’s an Amiga 500 demo that streams audio and video from the hard drive. Made by Flubba, BLDZR and me.

Bombero was my Amiga music contribution, with excellent vocal help from Breakin.

And finally, Trader’s Delight entered the streaming music compo.

Anamie by HT & Razor 1911

Anamie is a PC demo that was released yesterday at Revision 2025. I made text animations and Dubmmod cooked it together with the help of Anat on the code. The animations are in Amiga ASCII, with a few custom characters for blocks and triangles, for example. The song is a shorter version of Anamie on B Y S A N.

This is the first demo we’ve done like this, and I’m quite happy with the results! I’m also confident that there’s plenty more to explore with this technique. Combining manual frame-by-frame animations (made in lvllvl) with coded effects, is a winning concept I think. I think PET.CORP have already proven this, hehe.

Amiga mods released at Gerp 2025

Look mommy, I won a music compo! Haven’t done that for yeears, so that makes me happy. Competing in music is a beautiful thing! ;) I also released Skwash 25 in the standard Amiga music compo, and it placed decently at #5 despite (because?) the other songs being huge files with fancy samples.

Killer Piller, the demo

Jambonbill & Ailadi in PET.CORP have made this video/demo for a new remix of my old song Killer Piller. It came #1 in the Wild Demo compo at Zoo’24. It runs in the browser, as you can see here. Oh, and btw, I’ve joined PET.CORP!
