Fax! Fax! Copenhagen!
Let's fax shit up! On December 9th at Demoteket in Copenhagen I'll make sounds for Jacob Sikker Remin's fax installation with fax visuals by Raquel Meyers (who also designed the flyer). Did I meantion fax?
Fax! Really happy to finally do something with the fax. Been talking about making a fax-based magazine for years. If anyone out there has a fax, let me know because I want to fax more. Fax! FAAX.
2SLEEP1
2SLEEP1 is a playlist of audiovisual performances in text mode, designed to make you fall asleep. The idea is to show the music being composed in real-time (Exedub) along with typewriter-style animations (e.g. Sjöman).
Both the music interface and the graphics are built up from text symbols. This means that the (graphical) objects can work together with the (musical) instructions, on a visual level. Vank is a first rough test of this and Matsamöt makes a similar thing, without the improvisation. Finally, Echidna is a silent movie with semi-live music.
Made by Raquel Meyers and me, mostly using c-64 and Amiga. The videos are early explorations of new methods, so it's rather brutal at times. Greetz to Poison (rip) and Toplap!
LCP-releases
Another LCP has passed. A good one, as usual. I brought a C64 with what I thought was a broken SID-chip. I thought that I'd finally destroyed it despite the magical SID CONDOM that Mogwai built and gave to me 3 years ago. My idiot-trick was to take out the cartridge while the computer is on. But not even that killed the SID. The SID CONDOM is the shit (but Mogwai doesn't have time to build you one - haha pilutta dig).
My official releases were:
> Matsamöt - an ambient song with a beat. It was voted as one of the worst tunes, which can be a very good thing! It will be featured in the next release at Chipflip.
> In the name of the Sword - an epic text mode demo by Linde, Acid Terrorist and me. Sort of similar to the Acid Burger demo.
And some other things I liked:
> Rambo. A chronicle of.. - Twoflower's identical copy of the title-pic from the old Rambo-game. Although it's visually identical, the stored data is completely different, due to the way that the C64's stores pixels. It "is" not the same picture.
> 2011 - A press space odyssey - an unfinished demo with the strange progressive oldskool style that only Offence delivers.
> Fire - Joe's winning picture and it's well nice!
Defmon & Bits of Freedom
A re-destruction of the Dutch national anthem, meant to be performed at Hacking At Random 2009 for Bits of Freedom, the Dutch digital rights organization. Unfortunately I got sick and couldn't attend, but this is the video of the rehearsal. The software is Defmon, and you can't copy it. Wuao wuao wuao wuao wuuuaaaooo. Not so much improvisation in this one, except for the trashy solo at the end, but I'll post more of those things later on.
Otro+Goto80: New-D (Amiga1200)
Here's a video recording of what me and Otro competed with at Datastorm a while ago. I am shameless enough to say that this was my favourite at Datastorm! Unfortunately, it does not involve cool programming so the demoscene doesn't like it. Download the Amiga file here (68020+).
