I have been mostly eating... ice-cubes =====! interview !============================================================= *** big_bear has joined #demojournal <|ps|> good morning merry xmas! *** Scorpik has joined #demojournal <|ps|> ok... so lets start... who are you big_bear? <|ps|> b4 xmas! :D * Scorpik thinks that big bear went to ask his mother who he is... he is taking too much time :) I'm a scene musician and I'm in Level-D and in Fake That. Besides doing music I also code a little. In real life I'm studying computer science at the University of Bern in Switzerland *** claudi- has joined #demojournal told ya I'm tired :) <|ps|> big: your interview! you kick starngers! and how old are you? claudi-, sorry :) *** claudi- was kicked by big_bear [ed: bad-ass big_bear!] I'm 24 no way! sure way! :) my neighbours told me that you are 12! <|ps|> big: you have a pic of you with your girlfriend (if you dont, one with only your girlfriend is enough!) they simply think I've got the same age as you :) ps, nopes. even if I had one it would be a picture of my ex-gf, actually :) <|ps|> things not going well? :P depends... I've been out with some girls three times this week. that wouldn't have been possible with a gf ;) no answer.... <|ps|> uuhhhh... big: so you make music... hei you were up against scorpik at wired98. what happened on that one? yeah...he was better than me :/ But I have bought a sniper rifle and it will never happen again :) ps: yes I was. well what happened? I somehow won :) <|ps|> big: what do you though of scorpik's tune? scorpik: what do you though of big_bear's tune? scorpik got 2nd. I was _very_ surprised to beat him, actually very nice tune!!!! I love it! ps, I liked it very much. I've been a fan of scorpik's tunes long before that! Scorpik, you're just too honest :-P <|ps|> scorpik: your supposed to say his tune sucks and that it was all organizers fault!!! no cash for you now... big: what is this? liking each others music? no no no... this can't be... refresh your mind...I took money from 1st place of video compo :))) <|ps|> scorpik: to make up for fucked up big-screen fucking up your raytrace? ;) ps, yes I organized that to keep him calm :) ps: yeah...it was funny...I make blue sky with snow and on the big screen I see dark night with stars :) <|ps|> big: tell us about your groups... level-d and fake that scorpik: hehe! :) its a miracle! :P ps: yup...but let's hear what big bear has to tell us about Level-D :) bear: what does this D mean? okay Level-D first: It's a music group dedicated to make quality ambient/newage styled tunes. It was founded about 1 year ago, I think by Virago. news are that we're going more into the real music direction with Level-D Records. Scorpik: the D? I have NO idea :D <|ps|> big: know is the chance to do some free-advertising (HINT HINT) big: yeah big chance for you, now! Do some advertising... like cute blondies call....0700 000 0801 etc :) we will be rich soon:) [ed: its 0700 6969 069 actually! =)] right! fire up your browsers and surf to www.xs4all.nl/~virago or www.level-d.com (as soon as it's finished)!!! Scorpik: nah, you would have to go offline to call there;) :) big: when you will finish your next CD under LevelD label? <|ps|> hehe what about fake that? Scorpik: next will be a demo CD in march. ps, about Fake That: it's a swiss demo group, partly built on the remains of Suprise!Productions swiss section. we're really kinda inactive at the moment and I don't know when it's gonna change ;) our main work is the organization of a local swiss party called BuenZli <|ps|> oh yes buenzli ps, and btw we have many ex-maineditors of the diskmag PAiN :) you've already heard of buenzli? <|ps|> pain is searching for a new editor right? you know anything about that? yes i heard of buenzli! :) i know about everything! :) im the demojournal thingie guy tell us how you started into the demoscene (that should keep you busy...) yes, it seems like Cockroach and Iquito share the maineditor job right now I think I started to do music on the Amiga in '89, but at the time I was more into warez. When I bought a PC '91 I lost contact with the scene for some time. In early '94 I joined a PC group called Touchforce, later LSP, then MozICart (left them all pretty soon), and then Fake That and finally Level-D. I kinda worked my way up (career man ;)) <|ps|> hehe LSP is surprise!productions ? better tell me when you'll stop making music, bcoz I want to win some music compos :) ps. no it was some _really_ lame swiss group (shouldn't have mentioned it I guess :D ) <|ps|> where is s!p then? i dont see it... :) Scorpik: ha! now that I've taken away all your self esteem you won't enter a compo ever again :=P <|ps|> scorpik: name 3 diferent ways how you would like to kill big_bear! :D [ed: eheh aint friendship something?] ps. I personally wasn't it S!P (MoZ was like an Art section of S!P, tho. at least it was founded by Reebok :) big bear: something like that...but as I told you before my rifle will repair this situation soon :) I was in S!P :) <|ps|> scorpik: i know! :) you ever worked with big_bear on anything? ps: no...but maybe someday we will do something together... what do you think about this idea Big Bear? first we will go drink some cold beer together :) [ed: inspiration is a very important factor! ;)] <|ps|> maybe a co-op? that way you can both enter the same compo and not kill each other afterwards! :D Scorpik: Sure!! let's find a good studio in the middle between poland and switzerland =) ps; good idea :) bigbear: hmmmm.....Huelsbeck's one? :) <|ps|> big: i see you use ft like scorpik... there is a new ft out you know? seen it already? ps. haha he didn't even TRY to kill me after Wired! but he regrets it, I think ps: what is new in the latest version? <|ps|> scorp: let me check... big: be sure about it ;))) <|ps|> this was on www.quad98.net: New release of FastTracker! Get it at from www.error-404.com/tuner/ft2/ft209.zip or www.starbreeze.com According to the starbreeze homepage, one of the beta-testers has "leaked out" the new version, so they decided to put it on the download page. It doesn't work with GUS Pnp Pro currently, and there might be some memory problems. so? say smtg someone... ps. no I didn't see it yet. I've been working on synth tunes lately, not modules :) <|ps|> big: tell us more about it... :) synths... when FT's owners implement stereo samples option i will be back to FT songs ps. no gus pnp?? damn :( <|ps|> why is FT better than IT in your opinion? ps: over the years I couldn't resist buying some synths... now I've got 4 of them and my mixer has become too small :) the synths are: roland: d20,jv80,jp8000 and ensoniq: mr.rack (for those interested) the worm game, definately!! <|ps|> hehe! nibbles rules big: seriously... why FT? ps: actually I didn't have much of a choice. IT didn't work on my machine until recently and now I don't want to switch because I'm so used to FT <|ps|> big: tell us about your influences in your music (besides smoking curtains) ps: oh I'm influenced by many things. I like Vangelis very much, Pink Floyd too. But I also like funk stuff and some rock (e.g. Queen). And, not the least, classical music :) <|ps|> you are also swiss, tell us about swiss scene... he is the only one there :) hmmm....no any answer....so...I am right :) ps: the swiss scene has been (of course) pretty small since I know it. There has been some movement in the recent past though. for example Calodox (a swiss group) made 2nd place in the intro compo at Wired98. so I hope it's still going upwards now <|ps|> why big_bear? why did you choose that nick? oh I think I was just pissed by people choosing these supercool nicks like "serial killer" and such. I wanted something _different_ ... and after all I really like bears. not teddy bears, BEARS! :) <|ps|> but teddy's are so sweet and cute! :P yes. but real bears are even cuter (okay, until they stand 1m in front of you ;) I prefer plastic tanks with huge catterpillars :) <|ps|> scorpik: really? those are my favorite! :) and you can have little plastic men running around big: anyways... whats the capital of madagascar? Scorpik: plastic tanks?? so that's what "scorpik" means in polish? =) ps: let's play then ! :)))) *Little break in this interview* [ed: boom boom! and my top-elite trooper sends a granade that bounces on the tank and hits the airplane who comes diving into your 10 tanks and all explode and i win!!!] ps, I'm not brave Sir Robin, you dumbass :) <|ps|> scorpik: :) big: brave brave sir robin is not afraid of beeing injured in many nasty ways. no he is not at all afraid of having his kneecaps blown and his eyes pecked and his spleen ripped and his fingers smashed ps: brave brave sir robin bravely ran away... SHUT UP! <|ps|> big: :D so whats your favorite color? :) big: yeah....:))) ps: blue.. ah no, RED! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! are you sure your mag isn't called pythonscene? :) <|ps|> scorpik: whats the capital of asyria? what about Bald color? Do you know this one? It is my favourite :) [ed: bald color? humm] ps: eeeee....hmmmm....uffff....have no idea? What is the asnwer? <|ps|> big: no no! you wait until a certain interview with a certain person! we are going to talk so much about monthy pythons no one will have the guts to read it all! :) [ed: yes YOU!] scorpik: er? i dont know that wwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh anyways... let me think of some decent questions to ask... scorpik: this is the time you ask big_bear a very interesting question and save my butt... ps: ask him about capital of asyria :) okie my turn then :) <|ps|> big: what is the capital of asyria? scorpik: take it away... il go get something to eat... ps, can't you ask me about in-flight velocities of swallows (unladden ones)? =) [ed: no! thats too easy!] my dear Big Bear...tell us what you think about actuall form of music compos difficult question. one thing I like is the trend to split the house/techno part off the rest. what I can't stand is preselection, but I see the problem with too many entries. and I don't know a good solution myself :( do you think that there should be any limitations for songs...what about songs made in wav format or just mp3. Or maybe it is good like it is and there should be just tracker format songs under 1Mb of file? I'm still asking about music compo :) mp3 compos would be cool in a way, but I think 1. it would be very unfair to people who can't afford expensive gear and 2. there would be too small a difference to real world music. Tracked music might lose it's originality very quickly <|ps|> scorpik: another one! :) bear: well....you can say the same about demos. What if I have only 486/8Mb ram? I can't compete with demos made for p2-300Mb/64MB with i.e. voodoo. next question.....do you think about your future as a comercial composer or it is just your big passion and free time-hobby? <|ps|> scorpik: no one has only a 486/8Mb RAM nowdays! :P ps: come one....keyboards cost almost the same like fast computers <|ps|> scorpik: i dont know the market prices of keyboards! :P Scorpik: it's my hobby right now and probably will stay this way. but you never know... if I get pissed with my job sometime and I've got the chance to do a job in music biz I'm gonna do it. <|ps|> what is your job btw? Scorpik, about the 486 etc.: due to the speed of today's machines demos are getting too mathematical nowadays. it's not so.. romantic anymore :) ps. student right now. but that may change at the end of this year. big: it will change sooner if you still spend your free time on IRC :))) Big bear: tell us what we should ask you about. haha :) hey you guys have to be creative right now, not me! :) <|ps|> big: if you had 1 year left to live what would you do? okie....wanna question!?! Here is it: tell us story of your life! All story!!! all details! ps: we can now go to sleep... he will only finish answering maybe next week :))) <|ps|> big: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scorp: i have a timetable you know? cant stay logging for ever! :P ps: hummmm... I have no idea :) Start smoking more than 1 packet a day? :)))) <|ps|> big: really... what would you do... ps: ehehehe..... ps. I not quite sure. Either I would go and see all the things I always wanted to see and do all the things I want to do OR I'd try to create something as great as possible just to give my life some sense. Sounds probably silly, eh? :) <|ps|> no, tell us what things ae those... I know his answer! :) ps, the ones to see or the ones to do? <|ps|> both I'd like to go through the extremes. through the desert and the arctic ice, climb high mountains etc. And of course some more intimous stuff, but hey this isn't Hustler Magazine, is it? :) ... oh and I'd certainly start paragliding again ;D [ed: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH] <|ps|> :P hahah what about cordless bungee jumping? yes!!! but I'd wait until the last day. that'd be a awesome way to die :) <|ps|> hehe! :) what if you just get crippled all over and still breathe? no problem. It's my last day, remember? call it tactics :) [ed: smart-ass!] <|ps|> hehehe! :P yeah, but it still would be one extremly painfull last day... okok, I'd have to be lsd and morphine, then (lsd for the fun, morphine for the pain :) morphium even <|ps|> hehe :) ok... im defintly out of questions... care to say hello to some people? yeah. hugs'n kisses go to all the people in Fake That and Level-D (especially nogsf&Workbench), the swiss scene, #pixel folks, the guys from Calodox (go for it guys :) ... and scorpik, NOT :) <|ps|> haha! where can ppl reach you? oh scorpik: :-P~~~ don't take it too seriously :) don't worry [ed: scorpik is now planning how to kill big] ps: bigbear@webshuttle.ch at the moment. but since I'm gonna change provider soon it's a safer bet to mail to my uni account: mscheid@iam.unibe.ch <|ps|> ok. i think this interview is kaputz now! :) any last remarks or insults? *** Disconnected [ed: oops! connection fallen... i better go edit demojournal... it was done anyways... :)] =====! demo !================================================================== Control by Green (Party-version) Found at ftp://stack.nl/pub/demos/green/gr1_ctrl.zip 2nd place at Bizarre 98 System requirements: Pentium, speed & memory requirements unknown Soundcard: Midas used, so anything will do. Screen: anything, from 320*240*32 to textmode, but due a bug, all modes are listed as 320*200*32, so you might have to try a few times. The Demo: Warning: this is the party version, but as we are already half a year later, I doubt there will ever be a final version. It starts with a very impressive 3D-scene: a bunker with several antennas is standing in a desert. Inside, an alien controls a distant satellite that is used for TV-transmissions. Several small TV-clips are shown next to each other, as on the mosaic-channel, but then they disappear in TV-snow, and all channels show the Green-logo. After this, lots of different effects are shown, some are nicely connected to each other, but there's no real story/theme in them (or I totally missed it). Among the better thing are the realtime raytracing (SHARP, no blurring at all, with 6 objects), the zoomer-in-a-zoomer, an effect that actually USES the big ugly pixels resulting from zooming in, the uncomplete metaballs, and the background of the greetings (it's not a plasma, but I don't know how they did it). The last part is the funniest: Mully & Sculder versus Bill Gates. I would like to see more humour in demos, this really makes you want to see the demo again. The music is quite difficult to describe. The best I can do is: demo-soundtrack :). It's no techno, no rock (although it comes close), no ambient,... There are lots of different instruments in it, flutes, drums, ... You really have to listen to it yourself, music isn't my strongest point. It fits the demo very well in the beginning, but thereafter it's less synchronized, and repeats too much. This tends to become boring. Good points: yes. Bad points: few. (The colors of some parts are too dark, the music). Worth the download: yes. [ed: every demo reviewed is worth to download or we wouldn't download it ourselves in the first place tight seven? :)] (Me ? Lazy !? Hey, I'm writing this almost during an exam! (Well, just thereafter :)). [ed: Lazy anyways! :D just kidding ;)] Seven =====! intro !================================================================= "Viper" by Eclipse 3rd place at Wired'98 100k game compo. ftp://demo.cat.hu/scene/Demos.'98/Wired.'98/ [ed: sorry i don't know the exact url...] Well this isn't exaclty and intro. It's actually a 100k game! Extremly addicting i must say, you can play up to 6 players (i think) you control a non-stopping line that you can directionize slightly. If you hit a wall or the trace of one of the other lines you die! Whenever one line dies, all other get one point. The traces of the lines aren't continuos though... They leave some little holes that if you pass with your own line you get an extra point! Game goes on until all die and then it restarts on a clean screen. Whenever someone reaches 200 they win! Simple, easy, addicting! It's playable up to 3 players, after that your keyboard buffer starts complaining so you better get a couple of joysticks if you plan a viper deathmatch gathering! ;) It even has some cute chip-music and sound effects as the lines go against a wall! This game was re-coded by Eclipse. It was originally an Amiga game (i think...) Enjoy a trip into cutteness! :) ps =====! mod !=================================================================== "Unknown phuture" by Elwood Have no idea where to get! Well... I love Elwood's style and this tune breaks all barriers. It dates back to '96 but who cares? It has some vocal samples of a guy saying "Here in Neo-Tokyo millions of survivers swell in chaotic fatality and search forward for an unknown future". The song picks up the pace and launches into Elwood's typical style of fast-paced ambient we all know and love! The leads echo as the virtual unknown vertigo seems never to stop... It's like your on a roller-coaster always downhill. It's suberb! ;) There are other Elwood songs who have this feeling alot enhanced but this one has some awesome vocals to make up for it. Sorry for the small review but as you all know i am not very good at reviewing music! :) I just listen to it alot! :) ps =====! quote !================================================================= * Cyclops cleans his butcher knife still red from acryl's blood and goes looking for UNR_EAL! ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] commercial break!

Spring Break '99 !====================================================== Spring Break 1999 April 2-4, University of California, San Diego A North American demo party and multimedia convention presented by Cataclysm and the Computer Multimedia Development Club at UCSD, and co-sponsored by ASUCSD. // *** File History *** 990107 - Got off ass, made reservations, and started this file. // *** Schedule *** Friday Nooooon - Party opens in Gallery rooms (location of SB97) 6:00-10:00pm - Demofest in movie theatre 11:00pm - Party moves to International Center (location of SB98) Saturday 7:00-11:00pm - Compos in movie theatre Sunday 2:00pm - EOSB99 // *** Organizers *** Will Hutchinson (god / Cataclysm) whutchin@ucsd.edu (note the account god@crl.com is DEAD) If you know me personally, want to help out, have something to offer, etc, and I haven't talked to you yet send me a message. // *** Links *** Spring Break 1998 Pre-party Information http://www.crl.com./~god/sb98/ Spring Break 1997 Party Report and Pictures http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~jrimmer/sb97/ Spring Break 1998 Pre-party Information http://sdcc13.ucsd.edu/~whutchin/ Virtual Visit to UCSD including Directions http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/visit/index.html Almost anything you could want to know about the UCSD campus http://www.ucsd.edu // *** QFA (Questions that will prolly be Frequently Asked) *** 1. What's up with starting the party in the Gallery rooms and then moving to the International Center? Some lamers had already reserved the International Center till 11pm on Friday, April 2 when I went to make initial reservations back in October. 2. Where are pics from SB98? Where can I read an SB98 party report? When the hell are you going to update the SB98 page? Real soon now. Note though that the "god" account at crl.com might be disappearing before then. :( 3. How many people are you expecting to show up to SB99? Lots. [ed: nice answer...] 4. Is the party definitely going to happen? Is it safe to go ahead and make arrangements to attend? SB99 will happen. I have a pretty good track record with these things (as this will be the THIRD Spring Break party, and I've carried through with all the other scene gatherings I've organized as well). The facility is confirmed, the funding is assured, and so as long as Saddam Hussein doesn't nuke San Diego before then we're good to go. // *** Facilities *** We will of course be having the usual setup of tables, chairs, power, ethernet internet connections, gaming network (though note this year I have been banned from such activities and so will have to do weird stuff like show demos for the duration of the party... :P), pizza kitchen, industrial refridgeration, 20+ foot screen, moderately audible speakers, nearby food and 24-hour grocery, toilets, Tijuana, security, and California weather. We will not have showers, guarenteed dark, quiet and soft sleeping areas, drugs and alcohol, or anywhere near an adequate supply of coke and chips for you. You should bring computers, keyboards, mixers, headphones, caffeinated beverages, 10baseT cables, hubs, demo and music competition entries, funny animations, anything you need to sleep if you're the type of person who engages in such activity. // *** Compos *** Exact competition details have yet to be determined, but you can be assured the following competitions will happen: - Demo competition (probably an open competition for most anything we can get to run; ie, dos, windoze, 3d accelerated, intros) - Music competition (pretty open competition of most anything music composed with a tracker) - Tracking competition (songs based off of sample pack provided at the party) - Bunny chasing competition (will take place Easter Sunday, April 4th of course) The machines that will be available to run things are: 1. p2-504, 128 ram, ATI rage128 (fury), Canopus Voodoo2, Turtle Beach Montego A3D, Win98 boot, latest JVM installed 2. p5-292mmx, 64 ram, Diamond Stealth64, Canopus Voodoo1, GUS PnP (SoundBlaster 16 available if absolutely necessary), Win98 or Dos boot, latest JVM installed // *** Information coming soon *** - SB99 web page - Many more details on the party (will be very similar to the SB97 and SB98 pages) - Prize info, additional competitions, more competition specs - T-Shirt info - Planes, trains, and automobiles page - Expected attendees list - More items in this section. :) Cya at the party! ----------------------------------------------------- PS - PASS ON THIS FILE TO EVERYONE IN NORTH AMERICA!! ----------------------------------------------------- =====! voting !================================================================ OK, listen up you scum heads.
