20 Years Is Nothing (video)
This C64-production celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hack n' Trade, a group I started when I was a pre-teen Guns n' Roses hacker. For this demo called 20 YEARS IS NOTHING I made the sounds, Acid T*rroreast (Raquel Meyers) typed the visuals, and Mathman (Johan Kotlinski) did the magic coding.
The visuals were really typed by hand, one by one on a Commodore 64. No undo function. I think it was something like 50 000 key presses for the whole thing. We made it in a few days, and it was a process with lots of twists and turns, so the music could've been better (especially since I did a lot of it at a place like this).
Thanks to Lemming/Offence/FIG for capturing it properly. Not an easy task!
Our Academic Paper on ASCII Art
Me and A. Bill Miller wrote a paper on ASCII art and presented it at CAC3 last year. Now we've put it online at chipflip.org/06 so check it out!

Fågeldisk With Top Secret Software
When I was a kid I started a group called Hack n' Trade, and now it's 20 years old. To celebrate this, we made a release disk - FÅGELDISK - with bird-related C64-productions like 20 Years Is Nothing, double and triple SID music by Jellica, burning birds and also some very secret HT-tools and games.
We made 10 copies and spread it around at the BFP copy party, so we'll see when it starts to spread around. In the mean time, here's how it looks:
C64 Acid For Baroque Floppy People
A little invitro (invite-intro = invitation to a scene party) was just released with my music in it. It's for Baroque Floppy People in Helltown in August. I made the music, and I think Frantic remixed it a little and there's fresh PETSCII graphics by the old master Jucke. I recommend you to go and visit, if you dare!
Dansa In Video
A story with pirates, sloths and sex told completely in text graphics and chipmusic. A blocky and brutal visual aesthetic synchronized with explosives, drunken funk and computer screams. All made in 44 kilobytes, to be executed by a Commodore 64 and its colourful ASCII-alternative called PETSCII.
Shown at UCLA Game Art Festival, competed at the Datastorm demoparty and is available as C64 executable here.
Visuals by Raquel Meyers, audio by Goto80 and coding by Johan Kotlinski.
Shown at Net Artist Music Videos in London (2013), UCLA Game Art, Los Angeles (2013).
