Animal Romantics (MP3/Javascript, Chipflip)
Me, Raquel Meyers & evilpaul made a new thing! An online maxi-single with visuals made in Javascript and C64 text graphics (PETSCII). The song and visuals describe the construction of a monkey-dreaming sextext-lady.
Features some very good remixes by Limonious, Dr. Vector, The Toilet, Steve and Ljudit Andersson.
Made for the pl41nt3xt pavilion at the Wrong art biennale in São Paulo, with over 300 artists. They've also organized a number of AFK-events. And we also put it on Chipflip.
So it's another release in a strange format. It's audiovisual, but not video. It's demosceneish, but not for the scene. Personally, I'd like to call this one a music disk, but it's not exactly an established term. Should we just calt internet multimedia?
Anyway. You can insert your own text messages in the menu and get a custom URL for it. So send some
Video of the Textmode A/V Jam
The video of the performance yesterday, made with two C64s. I make music from scratch (no sounds or sequences prepaired) and add effects with a delay pedal. The music software is shown on the screen, and Raquel Meyers mixes it together with her typed visuals. Everything is in PETSCII. Thanks to Geraldine Juárez for filming. Dataslöjd power!
The music basically goes from ambient to acid and broken beats (?) to noise. As in any jam, some parts are pretty bad but in general I'm quite satisfied.
The performance was part of Simultáneo in Mexico.
Kung Fu Glitch in Aix en Provence
Kung Fu Glitch, a little piece of C64-noise that me and Entter did in 2007, is currently showing at Gamerz Festival #09 in Aix en Provence, France. It's part of 44422435, which was basically an evening of audiovisual butchery in Bilbao. Sorry to everybody whose work we destroyed - you're welcome!
I'm not sure if this was before or after glitching games was cool. Or was it never cool? Always? I keep forgetting.
Micomonocon
Micomonocon is a music game where monkeys try to play human acid pop. Set in a luxurious text mode environment, your mission is to prevent chaos and promote business. Do you have what it takes to be a top monkey?
Made by Raquel Meyers, Jens Nirme and Goto80 2013 for LA Game Space. Featured in Experimental Game Pack 01 along with indie game heroes such as Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy), Cactus (Hotline Miami), Chris Osborn (Bit.Trip series), Jeremy Bailey, Jeremy Douglass, Tracer & Minusbaby, Party Time! Hexcellent, and many more.
Micomonocon runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and requires Java. It's likely the best way to practice your secretary skills and prevent monkey acid at the same time.
