------ 1.Editorial ----------------------------------------------------------
This newsletter is public property, that means anyone is free to send
articles, news and others for posting! I would appreciate it even. Im only
putting the pieces together. Its our scene! lets make things happen...
I must say i am a bit dissapointed with this issue! The first week i
didnt talked with people to get things going and i was left without anything
done! Assign replyed to my mail and so he sent this weeks MOD of the week!
Dave showed his face up without any request whatsoever which i am very pleased
at! on the other hand, adok failed to send back the interview i sent him a
week ago in time for this issue! must not check email to often! Both nephoo
and binar were no where to be seen. Nice to see at least one person keeps on
voting every week UNLIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO ONLY VOTE WHEN I ASKED THEM TO
GET ON THE LIST! or vice-versa I dont know... Maybe my e-mail server
was down or something... or maybe people are starting not to care anymore!
Anyways... Andr0meda / Green got in touch and so the demoscener list
got bigger and gap-less! Some other touches by myself were added!
These reasons adding to a rather lack of articles are the main
reason why the newsletter got smaller. I guess it had to stabilize some day!
Im still looking for someone to send in the intro of the week text so
if you are interested on doing some constructive reviews, be my guest to send
that text to me.
Other than that, hope you enjoy the reading!
Psychic Symphony
I HATE EDITORIALS! I always write things down thinking thats the
last time i am going to read them and then i do some changes and have to
write it all over again! I got the idea of Wired98 walk-through and that
boosted up the newsletter about 20k which made the latest issue to be the
biggest aswell once again! I hate it! What the hell am i supposed to write
down on the editorial now? I am happy but i am not! ARGH! The hell with it...
I leave it like it is. You guys are smart, think about what i should write
instead of this stuff... Thats what i should have written!
------ 2.Demonews -----------------------------------------------------------
Dave:
News from Spain:
Here you have a couple of some groups in the demoscene in Spain.
This is only a collection and its incomplete, but however here
you will find the releases of many famous groups in the demoscene
in my country like MCD, Dosis, Centolos....
Note that I havent included the url of my group PhyMosys.
This is because we are moving to another sites, so our old url
will disappear. The ftp for downloading the magazines continues
being the same as before:
ftp://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/magazines/Phymosys
Site Group English
http://www.salleurl.edu/is05678/mcd.html MCD YES
http://bebe.uv.es/fgonzale/tlotb.html TLOTB YES
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/1024/dosis.html DOSIS NO
http://personal.redestb.es/marcos/ CENTOLOS YES
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/6305/ WILD BITS YES
Take special attention to MCD page which is filled with a lot of
nice stuff of the demoscene... lot of quality releases and nice
design in the page.
...and for those who are interested in MUSIC-DISKS and Music releases,
dont forget to visit WILD BITS page. Musicians will like.
As you will notice if visit the sites is that demoscene
is very active in Spain.
Ah!.. and Arancha Sanchez Vicario won Schnyder.
Yeah!, WeSpain won the federal cup, in tennis.
Thats all from Spain. CU!
Psychic Symphony:
Oh yeah? Portuguese soccer team beat hungary 3-0 juniors and 3-1 on
seniors! Eat my shorts!
Oh! And a small, little remark: pt.party is called off!
After reading about DejaVu and talking with mindwalker where he stated
and i quote: better have nothing than have some shitty party no one wants
to spend gas cash to go there! I decided to give it up! It was not properly
though through anyways... I just had a probable place where people could stay!
Thats hardly an organization. What about food? And support? And prizes?
And having entries for the competitions? Just not worth the trouble i would
get! I hope Codewiz and Magico are still thinking of organizing a REAL
party on the summer of 1999! :

PsychicS ahahah! antananarivo! got you! more seriously now... tell us
about your past... how did it all got started?
wain whadda hell, next question plis :
wain It all started when I got an a500 in 89 I think, and yes I played alot
of games then, but in 90-91 I saw something called demos on it and were
amazed :
wain I joined different groups that I cant remember now, mostly lame groups
wain So I began to get interested in gfx and used dp2 then dp3 then dp4
wain And I made some gfx on a500, but none of it was ever used in any
prods .
wain so in 94 I sold my a500
wain got a pc, and was completely a beginner again :
wain found out about that there was an demoscene on pc too
wain and started to do some swapping in 95
wain the swapping took most of my time the first years on pc scene
wain I found out that there was dp2 on pc in 95
wain but unfortunately it was no better version of dp, I was used to dp4 on
amiga
PsychicS what happened then?
wain but I learnt and did some gfx, but nothing was released
wain I began to get interest in music too at that time
wain but I will never be a good musician have I learnt now .
wain so I made some gfx, and began to use photoshop in 97 and joined jello
in 97
PsychicS and finaly your stuff is being used?
PsychicS or not really?
wain and then I got the amazing grafx2 which is far better than dp2
wain Jello used my stuff and I was happy
wain :
PsychicS whee!
wain and now Im got lazy again with drawing :
PsychicS hehe
wain I was also in a group called Spin and Nail on pc before joining jello
wain next question please .
PsychicS what are your favorite demos and why
wain Hmm, 303,Stars and Sunflower
PsychicS why?
wain because they have an cool feeling :
PsychicS have you seen more recent demos?
wain yepp Plastic was cool
PsychicS plastik! not plastic... plastik! its very different! :P
PsychicS you have any design ideas then? or not really...
wain ok, sorry
wain :
PsychicS graphicians tend to have some weird ideas on how the demos should
look like! you are like that?
wain yepp
PsychicS you feel like sharing them...
wain weird 3d objects combined with lots of weird 2d effects which are
synchronized to the music, every object is synchronized to an specific
sample :
wain Demos should be weird :
wain there should be no story in demos :
PsychicS what about a theme
PsychicS like in sunflower...
PsychicS weird! i had that idea too... to use an effect/object moving at
the flow of each different channel!
wain well, I dont know if its a theme in sunflower but the linking is good
wain hehe : aint you a graphician too :
PsychicS no! im a wannabe coder!
PsychicS :
PsychicS tell us more on the future then... plans for tp98 maybe...

Winner of rage.vs.scenest98 demoparty in hungary!
Very good jazz music from carlos during the whole demo.
Very nice hi-color effects. Special mention to some new effects like
voxel balls, multi-directional voxel texture tunnel and liquid metal. Not
forgetting some tweaked 3D and 2D metaballs!
Some graphical output by Frame fits in nicely aswell.
Also some mention to some hi-color fractals which also look lovely!
Finishing is an anagram scroolie at the sound of a funky music!
Indeed deserved first place! Very fresh, happy and original demo.
Go get it now!

------ 7.Intro of the week --------------------------------------------------
Sinx by Dawn 3
Code: Brainpower
Gfx: Ruptuh
Music: Distance/lacklustermonotonikorangeTPOLM
3rd place at The Gathering 98, 64k intro competition.
Effects well synced with sound, a very nice feeling this intro gives
out. Effects are mainly distortions and some little design clitches!
Special mention to the fact that this intro is not GUS-only like most
other 64k! And thats the way it should be.
Also, this one is a little tribute to the one and only BrothomStates so
you better go check it out!

------ 8.MOD of the week ----------------------------------------------------
back the fuck up dub one by deginge / league of kaoz
lokbtfu.zip @ www.loknet.demon.co.uk
since i didnt find any really good fresh tracks this week, i decided
to mention one of my alltime-favourites : deginges ep for lok featuring
the two .xms back the fuck up and dub one..
back the fuck up is hardstep drumnbass, garantued to rock about
every venue: energetic, mashed up beats -new- and interesting breaks used !,
a hard and distorted bassline, heavy metal attitude.. uhoh, 08/15 hardstep
you may think, but the tune manages to avoid nearly all schemes and
that damn twostep beat, too.. at many parts it even builds up its very
own swing, underlined by very nice syncopic percussions and shakers.. great !
dub one, the second tune of the ep, is a bit more experimental..
tribal drumloops, dub bassline and jungle breaks are a very interesting
combination - the smoke ganja and legalize it messages in the module
text dont surprise when listening to the track : anyway, deginge should
definitely try to get those two tunes on vinyl some day ! at least id
keep on playing them :

WIRED98 - DONT MISS THE LAST ONE!
After the ceremonial after-party LONG sleep, i ate and sit down in
front of my computer writing what i recalled! Some things are wrong, i know
that now but i havent changed my report because it reflects the mood i was in
at the time! :
After that follows the official results and last but not least the
moral of this whole belgian experience! Enjoy.
Psychic Symphony
Wired98 report
Firstly there was a lot of shit that happened before the actual party
so let me start by a small briefing of pre-party stuff:
1st i wanted to go there by plane but it depended on the exams since
i still hadnt finished them all... I flunked AM2 1st call and couldnt get
a reserve to brussels so i was thinking i would go by train if i passed the
2nd call. 3rd call was on wired98s saturday 2nd call went bad as hell so i
got really angry and decided to release the f@g demo the sooner i could!
So i sent it to some friends and put it on cdrom.com...
I passed AM2 at the 2nd call... Oops! :P
Now what? Fortunately i got a last minute ticket to brussels so i
ditch the train plan... I talk to kombat/imortals on irc and we fix to meet
up at the airport and to find our way to hornu/wasmes...
So im at Zaventhem airport in belgium waiting for tel-aviv plane to
land... waiting... and waiting... its around now... this short guy with a
backpack, a bed-roll and some sort of briefcase comes thru the doors...
I go ask him: You now anything about computers?
Finaly! he answers back... :P Its kombat!
We go exchange some cash then to the bathroom and finaly we go buy
a train ticket to mons. After some mind-storm i ask this guy at the subway
if that was the train to mons and so we enter the train!
Now we are at Mons. Already seen enough cows to last for a lifetime!
Are we supposed to catch a bus?!? Where? Which one? I thought it was
better to get a cab... We even had a map. Kombat didnt agree but he came
along! :P
Remark: cabs in belgium are expensive as hell... And the cabbie
didnt rip us off. They are just expensive.
After the cabbie asked around a few times we get there and i get out
to ask someone if this is it... Later i now he is Access/still not sure if
its pulpe, melting pot or ketchup killers!
Psychic: Is this wired98?
Access: Yes... And who are you?
Psychic: I am Psychic from portugal and that is kombat/immortals! Be
right back!
cabbie: 600 Bfr
Kombat: Hey man... That cab driver ripped us off!
darkness: Psy-xic?!?
Psychic: ARGH! Learn how 2 speak english!
darkness: im all fucked up... Need to get some sleep!
We want to eat... Darkness says we go eat when we are done...
wait a little! OK! Let us see my demo in kombats laptop... ARGH! I have
forgotten setup.exe file at home... Fortunally i brought my HD with me.
Met blade and talked about the spanish/portuguese scene for a bit...
After some time we meet Scorpik/Pulse and KeyG who were there sooner
also. Access let me copy my file to my disk and so everything is fine.
Except kombats cpu is very weird and wouldnt run it properly!
Me and kombat go eat with pitbull, PL, darkness, laurent, damien and some
more guys which i cant remember the handles at the local McDonalds.
I think PL and damien came along... cant remember properly...
Time to sleep... kombat as usual playing with some ball before going
to bed... Me sleeping at the table. My back hurts... :P
Wake up... Small talk with scorpik and kombat... Party doors open!
We re-enter!
Now kombat is looking for internet connection and im looking around
for something to kill the boredom.
Oh goodie... We finally have irc up and running... Kombat starts
talking to his homiez trying to get things going. I just stare at some more
computers! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cant sleep... We reconnect internet directly from
the net-gods table and kombat starts reworking on his demo while i use the
dead time to irc some friends and to let my mom now im alright! Thanks
brainpower!
Kombat goes backstage to the organizers room to finish his demo
while i take some more strools around...
First old demo shown on the big-screen was 303! WOW! BIG!
I cant stop smilling... Just when i was starting to wonder why the
hell did i flown all the way here, the answer comes to me. :
But lets write about the compos...
Very nice ansi compo entries. Only one a little small... All others
were BIG and awesome!
C64 guys really put up a show at the begining of the party showing
their TP7 winner... 2nd reality on a c64! At the compo they also ruled!
Amiga was almost no where to be seen. One demo and one intro only!
I liked the intro a lot: This fiercly music played while they zoomed in on the
Quake character... Suddenly the music changes into a disco/jamm/happy tune and
the quake guy starts moving his ass...
crowd: *clap clap clap* lol
This video of Fuel guys killing some machines, televisions and VCRs
is playing when they call me on the intercom:
someguy: Someone from Label please come to the main desk. the disk is corrupt!
I guess it was because it was always in my pocket during all that
time! No problem... I go get my HD and copy it to pitbulls computer! Since
kombat is there also i stay there a while! Then the intros start so i get
back near the big-screen, some nice fractal entrys and a little 4k arkanoid
clone game finishes the 4k compo...
100k game was cool aswell... 1st entry was this micromachines clone.
2nd one was a nice tetris game featuring massive dificulty effects...
distortions, lens, rotations and all those weird effects were combined all at
once and the crowd went WOW!. No.3 was a kill those lemmings. And No.4
was a nice 5 player game recoded by eclipse.
Cant remember 64k entrys properly but i remember quad won and
calodox got 2nd... Met workbench/calodox at party afterhours!
Kombat finished his demo and we both went check them at the compo
machine so we were near the big-screen when darkness announced the coca-cola
compo! Thirsty and sleepy i went ME!ME!ME!ME!ME! and so i gave it a try. :
Darkness blown my concentration when he said something about me coming from
such a long way to do so little and so i spitted coke all over the place!
: Still went on trying but soon to realize it was just too much coke for
such a small stomach!
Blade went for the world-record but couldnt even win this years
1st place... TSC TSC... :P
With this little performance i drove screamagers attention and
managed to meet him after all! He was hanging around with Mellow-d so i asked
him to go and meet him aswell! Now i know how trackers look like... normal! :P
Time for demo compo!
Im sitting 1st row... All nervous wondering if anyone is going to
BOO my demo or not. 1st demo was better then mine only too many gfx and little
of the rest. Nice fellows!
I see LABEL very BIG written all over the place and cant help to smile
What a feeling... When the 4th effect comes some guy recognizes art-of-fighting
character! People even clapped at the end... I felt so good about it all. :
Since there were some troubles getting the 3rd demo running i go ask kombat
what he though about my demo!
kombat: what?
psychic: demo... blue one... what do you think?
kombat: what?
psychic: DEMO! you now... those things on the big screen...
kombat: ah! sorry!
psychic: so? what did you think?
kombat: what?
psychic: go to sleep.
He didnt see my demo... I dont blame him... one day and a half
working on his demo. He has the right to fall asleep!
After that deus-ex-machina demo was shown then some text mode demo...
Quite good 3d and nice textmode conversion!
Then to some really decent demos: First up its fuels demo i liked
it a lot although some people say it was boring and design-less. I think it
had nice gfx and looked very nice although music and design werent really
there! It crashed through last part. :P
Quad demo run with some bugs aswell. Then some pyramids or is that
the same demo?!? Anyway... One of these got 2nd with boring 3d scenes and
bugs!
After that came the winner demo: Cocoons Shad It was big! It was
full of nice graphics and nice syncing aswell as a rather slow 3d and a lot
of bugs! But its still worth the first place. It was really BIG and GFX-full!
Last but not least there was third place Stereo Mike from Immortals
Nice cross-fadings, a good 3d-engine, nice 3d-scenes including a domino
sequence! Ending with this video of the party place... According to kombat
the little thingie falling from the sky is a known windows proggie that i
had never heard of, where these creatures walk around the monitor! Thats why
people clapped. I really liked kombats demo above shad only it lacked some
graphics and the music was just the normal... Stereo Mike name came from
Bran Van 3000 music Drinking in LA has i had predicted... So i started
calling kombat stereo-mike and he started calling me pzich! :
Fallen asleep through the music compo and checked out some wild demos,
Starwars was cool! With kombat sleeping i started getting connected and so i
filled in the voting-disk and handed it out before starting to copy stuff!
Look! There are all of the pamela anderson videos in here...
suck! suck! Literally! lol that was a nice comment i think!
There were more porn and emulators contraband around than demoscene
stuff so i packed up my callus collection and took some manga porn back home
since b.witched aka iceball is always asking me for them... yeah right!
Between all this i managed to see ghost in the shell which was really
good because i wanted to see it for a long time now and it is really one of
the best anime! Another movie played was 5th element but since i had already
seen it and was really tired i fell asleep once again!
Some other video played was from this real time 3d rpg which looked
fabulous! I dont recall the name.
Some other remarks:
Toilet system was very good. There was a place to sleep but i didnt
use it because: 1st.hadnt brought my matress. 2nd.i fell asleep on my chair!
Eaten about 6 burgers, one machine-gun and LOTS of fries...
Machine gun was discovered by scorpik and KeyG at the local town
when me and kombat went with them to eat something... That was about noon!
Didnt eaten nothing else the rest of the day! I was stuffed!
I guess this is probably it... Dont want to bother you even more with
small details like that kombat spent 1/4 of the compo money on a cab to the
airport so he could catch his flight on time remember the cabs beeing
expensive? and that i spent 22 hours at the airport waiting for my check-in!
HEY! Thats natalie imbruglia! Thats why that american girl was so
hardly trying to get a pen... Well. I dont have a pen nor a paper and im
too tired to get up. She really looks shorty on real life! There she goes...
Natalie Imbruglia is gone! Damn! No one is going to believe me now. I should
have gone and asked her for an autograph. Shit!
I DID SAW HER! If anyone ever talks to her, do ask if she wasnt in
the brussels airport the 20th july 1998 in the afternoon... Youll see its
true!
I managed to stay awake all that time and check-in... Managed to stay
awake just another hour and entered the plane! I had a seat next to this
really nice and beautifull belgium girl travelling to portugal to meet some
friend for just a week. If i wasnt so tired i would have given her my email
or telephone number or something... I fell asleep a couple of times on the
plane and the stop at lisbon took forever! The girl was really very nice and
sweet... Talking about girls... There were quite a few of them at the party
place which was surprising! Back to my flight... We me and the girl! arived
at porto around noon and said goodbye when i saw my mother which had come to
pick me up! While i was waiting in the car for my mother which had to go back
and pay for the airport parking place i saw the girl again! She was really a
nice person! :P What the hell am i writing about?!?
Brought back 2 voting disks one for B.Witched, all 3 party T-shirts
and the wrist bandana as souvenirs! And ofcourse dreams2 CD! :
When i phoned brainpower to thank him he got really pissed-off at me
for my manners over the phone. I guess ill stop calling him... He lives 100m
away from me and everytime we talk on the phone something happens that pisses
one of us off! Ill start emailing him only. I dont get it. Forget about it!
Belgium experience is over... 5 days little less then 90.000 escudos
which is around 400 dolars if im not mistaken... Was it worth it? I guess so!
I didnt pay for it... My folks did. Still its a lot of cash and i didnt
even took my computer to the party! : If i go to another party it will be
either for almost free or i can take my computer with me... Maybe in one year
when i have my drivers license ill drive from portugal to some french party.
ltp, volcanic, RTS or something like that... Who knows...

actually didnt got last place because it got 12 points. 11th i think or was

Wired98 recap
Oh well! What has happened since then until now?
For once i have met more people over irc. Just having that party in
common made a whole different story! I learned a lot more on demofr and
started being a regular there aswell! Which has been nice. Talking with
TuO/skytech and sh0dan/arf! studios, djamm, made/bomb, z, dr.yes,
skal/bomb, asphyx, dake/calodox, cyg/blabla, aph, kalmindo and the rest has
been a really positive experience! In fact, the idea of this demojournal was
mostly discussed with these guys and then taken over to pixel where adok
waited for my reply while i was talking in demofr and finally coders! Also
trax were i saw assign and asked him to give me a hand!
Hey! This is about wired, not demojournal!
What else? Met legendary people like scorpik, darkness, mellow-d,
screamager and the such! Got a real good friend called ohad pressman kombat
Also i got the taste of a demoparty with all good and bad things it brings!
Some good things:
-got new contacts
-saw belgium sights
-practiced my french
-entered weird conversations no one understood
-saw things on the big screen... REALLY BIG!
-saw amiga and C64 productions for the first time!
-saw how the professionals do their thing! kombat working!
Examples of bad things:
-slept on chairs and benchs for 4 whole days
-ate junk food and drink coke whenever possible
-died of boredom without a computer to play around in a hall
full of computers!
-didnt get to kick kombats ass at quake!
-forgot to take a tooth-brush! ICK!
Oh well... You win some, you loose some!
I am still proud of trying to get the last place at a demoparty!
At least i got 12 deserved points! My demo worked all the way! Not
like some others who got points and didnt even got shown on the big screen or
crashed halfways! At least i did my job well! Its not my fault everyone
else has done better!
Psychic Symphony
Something is wrong!
Me all happy checking out some old MODs that survived after my
already have it on dreams2 clean up! Unfortunaly i deleted more than i
should have and now i notice some musics are missing and that i will have
to re-download them! Anyways... I come upon synapse musicdisk by garfield,
which is one of the best portuguese trackers. And i recall something about
him releasing a song in assembly... I go check the results on Hugi12. Demos,
intros, animations, wildcompos, ahah, music... 15 got selected, i dont see
his name so i start scrooling down, and down, and down, and even more down.
I check his entry but that seizes to be important, i keep scrooling down...
154 entrys? 15 got selected? out of 154? I start scrooling up looking at all
those 0pts... Liam the Lemming, loonie, tonic, tremor, md, strala, so many
people i have heard about didnt got selected! I guess that shows that the
selection didnt go in favor of known persons! Fair enogh but still... 154?
At 4 minutes each track, that makes... 616 minutes! Thats over 10
hours of music! Humm... I guess i understand why only 15 got selected! After
20 minutes you get tired of just hearing the music, imagine 10 hours straight
doing nothing more then to listen to music recalling which ones were the best
among 154 tunes... I feel sorry for the selection team! I wouldnt venture!
10 hours! Geez... If we wanted to put the music on audio CD we would
need about 9 CDs! And me thinking music isnt that bountifull! 10 whole
hours released on just one weekend!
I guess its time to get back to 10 disks worth download per day!
I just dont know where the hell am i going to put all that stuff, only have
about 75 megs on the main partition. Guess ill have to drop by the store
to pick up either a zip drive or an extra HD. Oh well!

This newsletter is public property, that means anyone is free to send
articles, news and others for posting! I would appreciate it even. Im only
putting the pieces together. Its our scene! lets make things happen...
I must say i am a bit dissapointed with this issue! The first week i
didnt talked with people to get things going and i was left without anything
done! Assign replyed to my mail and so he sent this weeks MOD of the week!
Dave showed his face up without any request whatsoever which i am very pleased
at! on the other hand, adok failed to send back the interview i sent him a
week ago in time for this issue! must not check email to often! Both nephoo
and binar were no where to be seen. Nice to see at least one person keeps on
voting every week UNLIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO ONLY VOTE WHEN I ASKED THEM TO
GET ON THE LIST! or vice-versa I dont know... Maybe my e-mail server
was down or something... or maybe people are starting not to care anymore!
Anyways... Andr0meda / Green got in touch and so the demoscener list
got bigger and gap-less! Some other touches by myself were added!
These reasons adding to a rather lack of articles are the main
reason why the newsletter got smaller. I guess it had to stabilize some day!
Im still looking for someone to send in the intro of the week text so
if you are interested on doing some constructive reviews, be my guest to send
that text to me.
Other than that, hope you enjoy the reading!
Psychic Symphony
I HATE EDITORIALS! I always write things down thinking thats the
last time i am going to read them and then i do some changes and have to
write it all over again! I got the idea of Wired98 walk-through and that
boosted up the newsletter about 20k which made the latest issue to be the
biggest aswell once again! I hate it! What the hell am i supposed to write
down on the editorial now? I am happy but i am not! ARGH! The hell with it...
I leave it like it is. You guys are smart, think about what i should write
instead of this stuff... Thats what i should have written!
------ 2.Demonews -----------------------------------------------------------
Dave:
News from Spain:
Here you have a couple of some groups in the demoscene in Spain.
This is only a collection and its incomplete, but however here
you will find the releases of many famous groups in the demoscene
in my country like MCD, Dosis, Centolos....
Note that I havent included the url of my group PhyMosys.
This is because we are moving to another sites, so our old url
will disappear. The ftp for downloading the magazines continues
being the same as before:
ftp://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/magazines/Phymosys
Site Group English
http://www.salleurl.edu/is05678/mcd.html MCD YES
http://bebe.uv.es/fgonzale/tlotb.html TLOTB YES
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/1024/dosis.html DOSIS NO
http://personal.redestb.es/marcos/ CENTOLOS YES
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/6305/ WILD BITS YES
Take special attention to MCD page which is filled with a lot of
nice stuff of the demoscene... lot of quality releases and nice
design in the page.
...and for those who are interested in MUSIC-DISKS and Music releases,
dont forget to visit WILD BITS page. Musicians will like.
As you will notice if visit the sites is that demoscene
is very active in Spain.
Ah!.. and Arancha Sanchez Vicario won Schnyder.
Yeah!, WeSpain won the federal cup, in tennis.
Thats all from Spain. CU!
Psychic Symphony:
Oh yeah? Portuguese soccer team beat hungary 3-0 juniors and 3-1 on
seniors! Eat my shorts!
Oh! And a small, little remark: pt.party is called off!
After reading about DejaVu and talking with mindwalker where he stated
and i quote: better have nothing than have some shitty party no one wants
to spend gas cash to go there! I decided to give it up! It was not properly
though through anyways... I just had a probable place where people could stay!
Thats hardly an organization. What about food? And support? And prizes?
And having entries for the competitions? Just not worth the trouble i would
get! I hope Codewiz and Magico are still thinking of organizing a REAL
party on the summer of 1999! :

PsychicS ahahah! antananarivo! got you! more seriously now... tell us
about your past... how did it all got started?
wain whadda hell, next question plis :
wain It all started when I got an a500 in 89 I think, and yes I played alot
of games then, but in 90-91 I saw something called demos on it and were
amazed :
wain I joined different groups that I cant remember now, mostly lame groups
wain So I began to get interested in gfx and used dp2 then dp3 then dp4
wain And I made some gfx on a500, but none of it was ever used in any
prods .
wain so in 94 I sold my a500
wain got a pc, and was completely a beginner again :
wain found out about that there was an demoscene on pc too
wain and started to do some swapping in 95
wain the swapping took most of my time the first years on pc scene
wain I found out that there was dp2 on pc in 95
wain but unfortunately it was no better version of dp, I was used to dp4 on
amiga
PsychicS what happened then?
wain but I learnt and did some gfx, but nothing was released
wain I began to get interest in music too at that time
wain but I will never be a good musician have I learnt now .
wain so I made some gfx, and began to use photoshop in 97 and joined jello
in 97
PsychicS and finaly your stuff is being used?
PsychicS or not really?
wain and then I got the amazing grafx2 which is far better than dp2
wain Jello used my stuff and I was happy
wain :
PsychicS whee!
wain and now Im got lazy again with drawing :
PsychicS hehe
wain I was also in a group called Spin and Nail on pc before joining jello
wain next question please .
PsychicS what are your favorite demos and why
wain Hmm, 303,Stars and Sunflower
PsychicS why?
wain because they have an cool feeling :
PsychicS have you seen more recent demos?
wain yepp Plastic was cool
PsychicS plastik! not plastic... plastik! its very different! :P
PsychicS you have any design ideas then? or not really...
wain ok, sorry
wain :
PsychicS graphicians tend to have some weird ideas on how the demos should
look like! you are like that?
wain yepp
PsychicS you feel like sharing them...
wain weird 3d objects combined with lots of weird 2d effects which are
synchronized to the music, every object is synchronized to an specific
sample :
wain Demos should be weird :
wain there should be no story in demos :
PsychicS what about a theme
PsychicS like in sunflower...
PsychicS weird! i had that idea too... to use an effect/object moving at
the flow of each different channel!
wain well, I dont know if its a theme in sunflower but the linking is good
wain hehe : aint you a graphician too :
PsychicS no! im a wannabe coder!
PsychicS :
PsychicS tell us more on the future then... plans for tp98 maybe...

Psychic Symphony
Dis by Mandula
Code: Rod and Hyp-X
Music: Carlos/Breeze
Gfx: Frame/C-Lous
Winner of rage.vs.scenest98 demoparty in hungary!
Very good jazz music from carlos during the whole demo.
Very nice hi-color effects. Special mention to some new effects like
voxel balls, multi-directional voxel texture tunnel and liquid metal. Not
forgetting some tweaked 3D and 2D metaballs!
Some graphical output by Frame fits in nicely aswell.
Also some mention to some hi-color fractals which also look lovely!
Finishing is an anagram scroolie at the sound of a funky music!
Indeed deserved first place! Very fresh, happy and original demo.
Go get it now!
PS- Hey look! Its me on the greets! My first greets! :
How cute... PS AND LABEL turns into BALED PLANS.
Baled plans? Heeeeyyyy roooooooooddddd...
Psychic Symphony
------ 7.Intro of the week --------------------------------------------------
Sinx by Dawn 3
Code: Brainpower
Gfx: Ruptuh
Music: Distance/lacklustermonotonikorangeTPOLM
3rd place at The Gathering 98, 64k intro competition.
Effects well synced with sound, a very nice feeling this intro gives
out. Effects are mainly distortions and some little design clitches!
Special mention to the fact that this intro is not GUS-only like most
other 64k! And thats the way it should be.
Also, this one is a little tribute to the one and only BrothomStates so
you better go check it out!
Psychic Symphony
------ 8.MOD of the week ----------------------------------------------------
back the fuck up dub one by deginge / league of kaoz
lokbtfu.zip @ www.loknet.demon.co.uk
since i didnt find any really good fresh tracks this week, i decided
to mention one of my alltime-favourites : deginges ep for lok featuring
the two .xms back the fuck up and dub one..
back the fuck up is hardstep drumnbass, garantued to rock about
every venue: energetic, mashed up beats -new- and interesting breaks used !,
a hard and distorted bassline, heavy metal attitude.. uhoh, 08/15 hardstep
you may think, but the tune manages to avoid nearly all schemes and
that damn twostep beat, too.. at many parts it even builds up its very
own swing, underlined by very nice syncopic percussions and shakers.. great !
dub one, the second tune of the ep, is a bit more experimental..
tribal drumloops, dub bassline and jungle breaks are a very interesting
combination - the smoke ganja and legalize it messages in the module
text dont surprise when listening to the track : anyway, deginge should
definitely try to get those two tunes on vinyl some day ! at least id
keep on playing them :

WIRED98 - DONT MISS THE LAST ONE!
After the ceremonial after-party LONG sleep, i ate and sit down in
front of my computer writing what i recalled! Some things are wrong, i know
that now but i havent changed my report because it reflects the mood i was in
at the time! :
After that follows the official results and last but not least the
moral of this whole belgian experience! Enjoy.
Psychic Symphony
Wired98 report
Firstly there was a lot of shit that happened before the actual party
so let me start by a small briefing of pre-party stuff:
1st i wanted to go there by plane but it depended on the exams since
i still hadnt finished them all... I flunked AM2 1st call and couldnt get
a reserve to brussels so i was thinking i would go by train if i passed the
2nd call. 3rd call was on wired98s saturday 2nd call went bad as hell so i
got really angry and decided to release the f@g demo the sooner i could!
So i sent it to some friends and put it on cdrom.com...
I passed AM2 at the 2nd call... Oops! :P
Now what? Fortunately i got a last minute ticket to brussels so i
ditch the train plan... I talk to kombat/imortals on irc and we fix to meet
up at the airport and to find our way to hornu/wasmes...
So im at Zaventhem airport in belgium waiting for tel-aviv plane to
land... waiting... and waiting... its around now... this short guy with a
backpack, a bed-roll and some sort of briefcase comes thru the doors...
I go ask him: You now anything about computers?
Finaly! he answers back... :P Its kombat!
We go exchange some cash then to the bathroom and finaly we go buy
a train ticket to mons. After some mind-storm i ask this guy at the subway
if that was the train to mons and so we enter the train!
Now we are at Mons. Already seen enough cows to last for a lifetime!
Are we supposed to catch a bus?!? Where? Which one? I thought it was
better to get a cab... We even had a map. Kombat didnt agree but he came
along! :P
Remark: cabs in belgium are expensive as hell... And the cabbie
didnt rip us off. They are just expensive.
After the cabbie asked around a few times we get there and i get out
to ask someone if this is it... Later i now he is Access/still not sure if
its pulpe, melting pot or ketchup killers!
Psychic: Is this wired98?
Access: Yes... And who are you?
Psychic: I am Psychic from portugal and that is kombat/immortals! Be
right back!
cabbie: 600 Bfr
Kombat: Hey man... That cab driver ripped us off!
darkness: Psy-xic?!?
Psychic: ARGH! Learn how 2 speak english!
darkness: im all fucked up... Need to get some sleep!
We want to eat... Darkness says we go eat when we are done...
wait a little! OK! Let us see my demo in kombats laptop... ARGH! I have
forgotten setup.exe file at home... Fortunally i brought my HD with me.
Met blade and talked about the spanish/portuguese scene for a bit...
After some time we meet Scorpik/Pulse and KeyG who were there sooner
also. Access let me copy my file to my disk and so everything is fine.
Except kombats cpu is very weird and wouldnt run it properly!
Me and kombat go eat with pitbull, PL, darkness, laurent, damien and some
more guys which i cant remember the handles at the local McDonalds.
I think PL and damien came along... cant remember properly...
Time to sleep... kombat as usual playing with some ball before going
to bed... Me sleeping at the table. My back hurts... :P
Wake up... Small talk with scorpik and kombat... Party doors open!
We re-enter!
Now kombat is looking for internet connection and im looking around
for something to kill the boredom.
Oh goodie... We finally have irc up and running... Kombat starts
talking to his homiez trying to get things going. I just stare at some more
computers! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cant sleep... We reconnect internet directly from
the net-gods table and kombat starts reworking on his demo while i use the
dead time to irc some friends and to let my mom now im alright! Thanks
brainpower!
Kombat goes backstage to the organizers room to finish his demo
while i take some more strools around...
First old demo shown on the big-screen was 303! WOW! BIG!
I cant stop smilling... Just when i was starting to wonder why the
hell did i flown all the way here, the answer comes to me. :
But lets write about the compos...
Very nice ansi compo entries. Only one a little small... All others
were BIG and awesome!
C64 guys really put up a show at the begining of the party showing
their TP7 winner... 2nd reality on a c64! At the compo they also ruled!
Amiga was almost no where to be seen. One demo and one intro only!
I liked the intro a lot: This fiercly music played while they zoomed in on the
Quake character... Suddenly the music changes into a disco/jamm/happy tune and
the quake guy starts moving his ass...
crowd: *clap clap clap* lol
This video of Fuel guys killing some machines, televisions and VCRs
is playing when they call me on the intercom:
someguy: Someone from Label please come to the main desk. the disk is corrupt!
I guess it was because it was always in my pocket during all that
time! No problem... I go get my HD and copy it to pitbulls computer! Since
kombat is there also i stay there a while! Then the intros start so i get
back near the big-screen, some nice fractal entrys and a little 4k arkanoid
clone game finishes the 4k compo...
100k game was cool aswell... 1st entry was this micromachines clone.
2nd one was a nice tetris game featuring massive dificulty effects...
distortions, lens, rotations and all those weird effects were combined all at
once and the crowd went WOW!. No.3 was a kill those lemmings. And No.4
was a nice 5 player game recoded by eclipse.
Cant remember 64k entrys properly but i remember quad won and
calodox got 2nd... Met workbench/calodox at party afterhours!
Kombat finished his demo and we both went check them at the compo
machine so we were near the big-screen when darkness announced the coca-cola
compo! Thirsty and sleepy i went ME!ME!ME!ME!ME! and so i gave it a try. :
Darkness blown my concentration when he said something about me coming from
such a long way to do so little and so i spitted coke all over the place!
: Still went on trying but soon to realize it was just too much coke for
such a small stomach!
Blade went for the world-record but couldnt even win this years
1st place... TSC TSC... :P
With this little performance i drove screamagers attention and
managed to meet him after all! He was hanging around with Mellow-d so i asked
him to go and meet him aswell! Now i know how trackers look like... normal! :P
Time for demo compo!
Im sitting 1st row... All nervous wondering if anyone is going to
BOO my demo or not. 1st demo was better then mine only too many gfx and little
of the rest. Nice fellows!
I see LABEL very BIG written all over the place and cant help to smile
What a feeling... When the 4th effect comes some guy recognizes art-of-fighting
character! People even clapped at the end... I felt so good about it all. :
Since there were some troubles getting the 3rd demo running i go ask kombat
what he though about my demo!
kombat: what?
psychic: demo... blue one... what do you think?
kombat: what?
psychic: DEMO! you now... those things on the big screen...
kombat: ah! sorry!
psychic: so? what did you think?
kombat: what?
psychic: go to sleep.
He didnt see my demo... I dont blame him... one day and a half
working on his demo. He has the right to fall asleep!
After that deus-ex-machina demo was shown then some text mode demo...
Quite good 3d and nice textmode conversion!
Then to some really decent demos: First up its fuels demo i liked
it a lot although some people say it was boring and design-less. I think it
had nice gfx and looked very nice although music and design werent really
there! It crashed through last part. :P
Quad demo run with some bugs aswell. Then some pyramids or is that
the same demo?!? Anyway... One of these got 2nd with boring 3d scenes and
bugs!
After that came the winner demo: Cocoons Shad It was big! It was
full of nice graphics and nice syncing aswell as a rather slow 3d and a lot
of bugs! But its still worth the first place. It was really BIG and GFX-full!
Last but not least there was third place Stereo Mike from Immortals
Nice cross-fadings, a good 3d-engine, nice 3d-scenes including a domino
sequence! Ending with this video of the party place... According to kombat
the little thingie falling from the sky is a known windows proggie that i
had never heard of, where these creatures walk around the monitor! Thats why
people clapped. I really liked kombats demo above shad only it lacked some
graphics and the music was just the normal... Stereo Mike name came from
Bran Van 3000 music Drinking in LA has i had predicted... So i started
calling kombat stereo-mike and he started calling me pzich! :
Fallen asleep through the music compo and checked out some wild demos,
Starwars was cool! With kombat sleeping i started getting connected and so i
filled in the voting-disk and handed it out before starting to copy stuff!
Look! There are all of the pamela anderson videos in here...
suck! suck! Literally! lol that was a nice comment i think!
There were more porn and emulators contraband around than demoscene
stuff so i packed up my callus collection and took some manga porn back home
since b.witched aka iceball is always asking me for them... yeah right!
Between all this i managed to see ghost in the shell which was really
good because i wanted to see it for a long time now and it is really one of
the best anime! Another movie played was 5th element but since i had already
seen it and was really tired i fell asleep once again!
Some other video played was from this real time 3d rpg which looked
fabulous! I dont recall the name.
Some other remarks:
Toilet system was very good. There was a place to sleep but i didnt
use it because: 1st.hadnt brought my matress. 2nd.i fell asleep on my chair!
Eaten about 6 burgers, one machine-gun and LOTS of fries...
Machine gun was discovered by scorpik and KeyG at the local town
when me and kombat went with them to eat something... That was about noon!
Didnt eaten nothing else the rest of the day! I was stuffed!
I guess this is probably it... Dont want to bother you even more with
small details like that kombat spent 1/4 of the compo money on a cab to the
airport so he could catch his flight on time remember the cabs beeing
expensive? and that i spent 22 hours at the airport waiting for my check-in!
HEY! Thats natalie imbruglia! Thats why that american girl was so
hardly trying to get a pen... Well. I dont have a pen nor a paper and im
too tired to get up. She really looks shorty on real life! There she goes...
Natalie Imbruglia is gone! Damn! No one is going to believe me now. I should
have gone and asked her for an autograph. Shit!
I DID SAW HER! If anyone ever talks to her, do ask if she wasnt in
the brussels airport the 20th july 1998 in the afternoon... Youll see its
true!
I managed to stay awake all that time and check-in... Managed to stay
awake just another hour and entered the plane! I had a seat next to this
really nice and beautifull belgium girl travelling to portugal to meet some
friend for just a week. If i wasnt so tired i would have given her my email
or telephone number or something... I fell asleep a couple of times on the
plane and the stop at lisbon took forever! The girl was really very nice and
sweet... Talking about girls... There were quite a few of them at the party
place which was surprising! Back to my flight... We me and the girl! arived
at porto around noon and said goodbye when i saw my mother which had come to
pick me up! While i was waiting in the car for my mother which had to go back
and pay for the airport parking place i saw the girl again! She was really a
nice person! :P What the hell am i writing about?!?
Brought back 2 voting disks one for B.Witched, all 3 party T-shirts
and the wrist bandana as souvenirs! And ofcourse dreams2 CD! :
When i phoned brainpower to thank him he got really pissed-off at me
for my manners over the phone. I guess ill stop calling him... He lives 100m
away from me and everytime we talk on the phone something happens that pisses
one of us off! Ill start emailing him only. I dont get it. Forget about it!
Belgium experience is over... 5 days little less then 90.000 escudos
which is around 400 dolars if im not mistaken... Was it worth it? I guess so!
I didnt pay for it... My folks did. Still its a lot of cash and i didnt
even took my computer to the party! : If i go to another party it will be
either for almost free or i can take my computer with me... Maybe in one year
when i have my drivers license ill drive from portugal to some french party.
ltp, volcanic, RTS or something like that... Who knows...

Wired98 recap
Oh well! What has happened since then until now?
For once i have met more people over irc. Just having that party in
common made a whole different story! I learned a lot more on demofr and
started being a regular there aswell! Which has been nice. Talking with
TuO/skytech and sh0dan/arf! studios, djamm, made/bomb, z, dr.yes,
skal/bomb, asphyx, dake/calodox, cyg/blabla, aph, kalmindo and the rest has
been a really positive experience! In fact, the idea of this demojournal was
mostly discussed with these guys and then taken over to pixel where adok
waited for my reply while i was talking in demofr and finally coders! Also
trax were i saw assign and asked him to give me a hand!
Hey! This is about wired, not demojournal!
What else? Met legendary people like scorpik, darkness, mellow-d,
screamager and the such! Got a real good friend called ohad pressman kombat
Also i got the taste of a demoparty with all good and bad things it brings!
Some good things:
-got new contacts
-saw belgium sights
-practiced my french
-entered weird conversations no one understood
-saw things on the big screen... REALLY BIG!
-saw amiga and C64 productions for the first time!
-saw how the professionals do their thing! kombat working!
Examples of bad things:
-slept on chairs and benchs for 4 whole days
-ate junk food and drink coke whenever possible
-died of boredom without a computer to play around in a hall
full of computers!
-didnt get to kick kombats ass at quake!
-forgot to take a tooth-brush! ICK!
Oh well... You win some, you loose some!
I am still proud of trying to get the last place at a demoparty!
At least i got 12 deserved points! My demo worked all the way! Not
like some others who got points and didnt even got shown on the big screen or
crashed halfways! At least i did my job well! Its not my fault everyone
else has done better!

Something is wrong!
Me all happy checking out some old MODs that survived after my
already have it on dreams2 clean up! Unfortunaly i deleted more than i
should have and now i notice some musics are missing and that i will have
to re-download them! Anyways... I come upon synapse musicdisk by garfield,
which is one of the best portuguese trackers. And i recall something about
him releasing a song in assembly... I go check the results on Hugi12. Demos,
intros, animations, wildcompos, ahah, music... 15 got selected, i dont see
his name so i start scrooling down, and down, and down, and even more down.
I check his entry but that seizes to be important, i keep scrooling down...
154 entrys? 15 got selected? out of 154? I start scrooling up looking at all
those 0pts... Liam the Lemming, loonie, tonic, tremor, md, strala, so many
people i have heard about didnt got selected! I guess that shows that the
selection didnt go in favor of known persons! Fair enogh but still... 154?
At 4 minutes each track, that makes... 616 minutes! Thats over 10
hours of music! Humm... I guess i understand why only 15 got selected! After
20 minutes you get tired of just hearing the music, imagine 10 hours straight
doing nothing more then to listen to music recalling which ones were the best
among 154 tunes... I feel sorry for the selection team! I wouldnt venture!
10 hours! Geez... If we wanted to put the music on audio CD we would
need about 9 CDs! And me thinking music isnt that bountifull! 10 whole
hours released on just one weekend!
I guess its time to get back to 10 disks worth download per day!
I just dont know where the hell am i going to put all that stuff, only have
about 75 megs on the main partition. Guess ill have to drop by the store
to pick up either a zip drive or an extra HD. Oh well!
