I've been mostly eating... anxiety =====! interview !============================================================= Session Start: Tue Feb 01 21:50:41 2000 *** _mirage_ has joined #demojournal <_mirage_> cozy <|ps|> so who are you? =) <_mirage_> erhmm... is this part of the interview? [ed: DUH] <|ps|> yeah =) <_mirage_> so, that was supposed to be: Question 1: so who are you? :) sorry, fooling around i'll try to do my best :) erhmm... my real name is Lars Verhoeff <|ps|> ah, and what do you do on life lars? =) <_mirage_> i'm currently working at karma-studios (http://www.karma-studios.com :) doing graphics and a little bit of coding on color gameboy games i start at about 13.00 pm and after our daily game of starcraft at night and the occasional beer i go home again :) <|ps|> how old are you and where are you from? <_mirage_> i'm 26 years old (yeah, what am i still doing in a demo-scene) born and raised in holland <|ps|> hehe =) what kind of work do you do on karma? besides the starcraft playing ;) <_mirage_> actually, i was first employed to do sketch-art for console games but we needed some quick money first, so i'm currently doing bitmap graphics for our gameboy games <|ps|> any games we mear mortals might have played? =) <_mirage_> nope we finished 5 games and are working on 5 more but we're having troubles finding publishers that are willing to distribute our games worldwide you can download graphics and music from our site, and see what you have to wait for :) [ed: very nice site too btw] <|ps|> :( lets talk about you then, when did you first started into computer and computer graphics? <_mirage_> oh, i go waaaaay back I started on a spectrum ZX81, with 16kb of ram later came my first c-64 <|ps|> ah the speccie <_mirage_> not the spectrum you know, probably mine had black-and-white graphics looked more like an advanced calculator it was the predecessor of the color-spectrum <|ps|> uhh =) go on about c64 then.. =) <_mirage_> ahyeah i started coding on that thing it was only after a year or two that i started doing graphics let's see if i can remember the groups i used to be in... it started with delight then came culture, sphinx, censor design, legend and finally focus that's about it :) <|ps|> what year did you first started doing gfx? <_mirage_> that would be two years after 1984, when i got my c-64 '86-ish, i would guess <|ps|> how old were you then? 13? <_mirage_> fast calculating :) yeah, 13 <|ps|> uhh.. thats really long ago =) <_mirage_> i know :) told you i was old :) next question, please :) <|ps|> what do you remember of starting computer gfx? any good memories? =) <_mirage_> what i remember most was that i had to do all my graphics with a joystick no luxuries of wacom tablets those days :) <|ps|> joysticks are told to be a pain to pixel in.. :P <_mirage_> nah, i got the hang of it pretty quickly it just takes some getting used to <|ps|> what did you first draw? what were your inspirations back then and did they evolved till nowdays? =) <_mirage_> i started doing logos, like everybody those days hardly to be called inspirational graphics later on came a technique called FLI, flexible line interpolation which made making graphics more flexible that paved the road for more inspirational fullscreen graphics <_ps_> well.. you didnt answer the question much.. what were your inspirations and how did they change across the times? =) <_mirage_> well... boris valejo was a great inspiration duh! :) they changed, since i know now how to draw on paper myself :) i graduated from highschool with the highest grade possible for sketching/painting <_ps_> you the typical boris pics redraw type? =) <_mirage_> i _was_ like almost everybody else from that period did that answer your question? <_ps_> hehe, no! but never mind ok, so lets start having some organizing on this interview ;) you said your last group was focus..? how did you get to gaia? <_mirage_> okay finishing after my c-64 period i bought myself an amiga because i was asked to do graphics for an amiga-game i did the intro-graphics for disposable hero and then sold my amiga again <|ps|> that was fast =) <_mirage_> after that i got a 486 and joined bonzai, who just went from c-64 to pc just like me after that we made a PC department for focus <|ps|> and where is analogue on that? =) <_mirage_> and we merged with abstract concepts to form analogue analogue still exists nowadays, and i'm still in it... we've just taken a short break from making demos that's why i joined superstition for a short while they were just a tad bit more productive so i could lose my graphics the easy way :) * |ps| waits for the part about gaia =) <_mirage_> after superstition broke up, a lot of things happened too dificult to explain so i started a demogroup called gaia together with two friends they both kinda left the scene, so gaia is just me at the moment :) <|ps|> :P nothing like a happy ending :P you still active on the scene nowdays? or are you more focusing on work? <_mirage_> actually, work is taking up a lot of my time i used to study for about 6 years in that time i had a lot of spare time :) i'm actually still active in the scene i attend the occasional party now and then the last picture i released ended up number one that was at bizarre99 and i'm busy programming aswell, so i can release a demo somewhere in the near future since none of the people i know is willing to program for me :) <|ps|> =) thats cool to hear.. humm.. what is more expressive way of computer art? coding or pixeling? <_mirage_> expressive? pixeling, obviously but i find coding tends to order my mind thus, compensating for the expressive part of my brain that handles the chaotic process of pixeling <|ps|> lets talk about graphics then, you both pixel and do photoshop works.. which one is more rewarding? <_mirage_> i don't see why anybody can call pixeling expressive when i work in photoshop i get (almost) full control of my works pixeling is a completely different process... the expressive part comes before the pixeling then i have to decide on the colours i'm going to use in my palette after that, everything is a tightly scheduled process, nothing expressive about it <|ps|> so why do you still pixel and not do only photoshop work? <_mirage_> pixeling is my job, since the platform i'm painting for is the colorgameboy, with tiles and 4color palettes for every 8x8 pixels as a hobby, i use photoshop when we start working on our nextgen titles i get to use photoshop during my working hours maybe i'll turn back to pixeling in my spare-time then :) <|ps|> how does work and hobby computer graphics differ? does it show its work and not just for fun? <_mirage_> work-graphics are usually constraint by the rules that are layed out, since every game needs specific graphics e.g. when we're working on a racing game i get to draw roads when i'm not in the mood of drawing roads or cars i still don't have a choice Session Close: Tue Feb 01 22:52:30 2000 Session Start: Mon Feb 14 22:13:18 2000 <|ps|> so are you ready for the death defying demojournal top quiz show contest? <_mirage_> ready when you are <|ps|> 1. whats your favorite color? <_mirage_> deep blue <|ps|> 2. whats the capital of madagascar <_mirage_> oh, wait... i know this one <|ps|> no cheating!!! <_mirage_> can i pass this on to my think-tank? next Q :) <|ps|> 3. what is the meaning of life? <_mirage_> 42 easy ones... when do we get to the hard ones? <|ps|> 4. what is the most interesting book/movie you ever read/seen? <_mirage_> that would be 'eerst grijs, dan wit dan blauw', but that's a dutch book, so most of you don't understand what i'm talking about <|ps|> and what about movie? <_mirage_> hmm... i guess 'cube' would be my most interesting movie <|ps|> 5. do you think there is life beyond our planet? <_mirage_> definately, and i hope they have better ways of interviewing then through irc <|ps|> =) do you have a pet? <_mirage_> what happened to the graphics-and-coding related questions? no, i don't have a pet <|ps|> hei! who id doing the interview? me or you? =) you dont have a pet? how come? <_mirage_> i'm doing the interview if i wasn't answering you wouldn't have your interview i'm way too busy with work to take care of one <|ps|> no, you just sit there and answer silly questions =) not even a wabbit or a kitten or a little puppy? ok, now tell us what are your favorite demos/intros of all times and shutup =) <_mirage_> okay, i'll shutup then <|ps|> no.. answer the questions :P <_mirage_> favourite demo would be erhmm... fulcrum from matrix intro... hmm... tough one... i probably haven't seen all of them, since most of them need some dos protected mode extender, and i hate rebooting my computer just to see an intro so i'll stay away from answering that question if you don't mind, that is :) <|ps|> =) oki, you have been around for quite a while.. what is the main diference between old demoparties and these recent ones? <_mirage_> for me personally? or what i think changed for most people? <|ps|> both =) <_mirage_> personally, i used to look up to certain people... now i'm old enough to know they're just as normal as me <|ps|> sounds like the story of a disapointed young boy :( <_mirage_> i was a young boy, don't blame me <|ps|> =) well.. what were the main big changes you seen on parties then? =) like tell us how things were back then =) <_mirage_> party-places used to be more 'cozy' less sponsored more fun, less competition in a nutshell, less 'commercial' <|ps|> were they better? <_mirage_> definately but maybe my perception of that changed <|ps|> why are there so many new ppl getting interested on demoscene? you have any theory to explain that phenomenom? <_mirage_> more people have computers as easy as that <|ps|> humm.. hehe.. i meant ARENT not are hehehe.. my bad :P <_mirage_> then you're wrong... more people are getting interested, not less :) that's why party-places are getting bigger :) <|ps|> no, party places are getting bigger because they are full of quakers and porno leechers :P not because of demosceners check number of ppl / number of productions a secret admire wants to know how can you manage to buy beer every night without seeming like a sad person to the shop-owner <_mirage_> practice makes perfect :) <|ps|> hehe. so tell us what are your inspirations for pixelling (i dont remember if i asked this already or not) <_mirage_> actually... there's only one real person, and that's edward munk <|ps|> whois edward munk then? <_mirage_> his most famous painting was 'scream'... you must know that one <|ps|> humm.. describe it.. <_mirage_> pfff... look it up :) on computer it's hein holt and danny, ofcourse although i don't quite agree with his point of view of getting inspired by other artists <|ps|> now a more then logical question.. why the hell do you mainly paint/pixel women? :P <_mirage_> what can i say, i'm frustrated, and so are most other sceners, thus making it most likely they will vote for me in gfx-compos :) <|ps|> =) whats your favorite simpsons character? <_mirage_> Mr. burns, without any doubt and stop copy-and-pasting from #pixel to get new questions :) <|ps|> whats your favorite icecream flavour? <_mirage_> lemon that's the only icecream that's being kept in a seperate cooler freezer <|ps|> whats your favorite beer brand? <_mirage_> beer brand? kylian. now get off that topic too <|ps|> ok.. you leave me without any topics to persue what do you usually listen to? <_mirage_> to whatever my boss has on, from his mp3-list :) no, really i like jamiroquai, bjork, prodigy and recently anouk but that's a dutch thing again :) <|ps|> now there is one thing i dont get about bjork, maybe you can help me out understanding <_mirage_> shoot <|ps|> how can a person who cant speak english properly write such deep thoughts and poems in english? i dont get it.. how can you know and understand a language fully and cant be able to speak it without an accent? <_mirage_> maybe she's got someone to look over her lyrics before she sings them? <|ps|> nopes, the poems are hers.. she just talks english with a real hard scandinavian accent <_mirage_> you got me there maybe she's so intellectual she get's everything write when she writes it down <|ps|> =) ok, lets end this interview already =) anything you would like to say before i chop your head off? <_mirage_> yeah, danny should get over his moral thoughts and return to the scene that's it <|ps|> oki, do some advert to your homepages and stuff and then drop your email so your fans can flood you with "i love yous" <_mirage_> http://www.karma-studios.com and lars@karma-studios.com finally, we got this damn thing finished :) Session Close: Mon Feb 14 23:13:32 2000 =====! demo !================================================================== *strike* =====! intro !================================================================= *strike* =====! music !================================================================= Indigo The alpha conspiracy mp3.com/alphaconspiracy or www.alphaconspiracy.com As you've maybe noticed, behind this weird name hides a guy who used to call himself Necros and who became one of the best scene musicians. Now, after a long time, he has released 4 new tracks and let's see what he has to offer. By his musicdisk "System" he has shown that he is moving more towards electronical music. If you've heard track "Pulse" from Audiophonik, you know whereto he did get and you could also read that he is working on more tracks using IT and Buzz. His new releases are similar to the mentioned track from audiophonik. Classical samples, like guitar strings, are played through misc. filters and effects which give them brand new sound, drumlines are softer, but still very complicated and interesting, especially with great bassline, which gives depth to the hits without hurting man's ears. In this deep jungle hide leads with intelligent melodies, but they're not that much on top as they used to be, so you have to listen to the tune more times to find them all. I should warn here people who loved his very old releases like December or Mysticism, because Necros has changed a lot. His music isn't that opened, you have to listen to it more times to get in it and to fully enjoy it. It also isn't orchestral or jazzy. It's sad but true. But if you stay and adapt to it, you'll find good old necros in good form. And no, it has nothing to do with the track by Basehead. - Retro - And here we are. For the second time with retro and because we have here today a release from Necros, we'll take a look at his great musicdisk "Progression". This wonderful musicdisk was released in 1995 under FM label. It was actually first FM musicdisk with new releases and it opened a new era, where membership in Five Musicians will mean being the best. Music moves here among many styles and Andy handles each style with skill. Opening and closing tracks are jazzy, but you'll be surprised how different they are (especially "The Grey Note" with it's live club feeling). Other two tracks are very good guitar tunes, where one of them is his entry to mc3 compo (placed 2nd). Last two tracks are special - first one, "Point of departure" is a "decent drum track inspired by trains" (this says andy and in my opinion i don't have to comment it in any way, because it describes this track perfectly) and second one is "Isotoxin", a very interesting futurous track which has been recently used in game Unreal and can't be compared to any track in scene. I would describe it as industrial track with synth samples combined with intelligent techno, but actually it is more than that - you have to hear it. It is a bit similar to Mechanism eight, which is still one of the best scene tracks ever. Necros did also coding for the interface - what more I have to say? When I wrote this review, I've listened to this musicdisk and I was surprised how much it still works on me and if you haven't heard it or you feel for a bit of nostalgia, go on and give your soundcard a chance to present you this excellent piece of music. It can be found at ftp.scene.org in fm directory. tryhuk =====! question !============================================================== > question of the week: > should the current voting systems still be used? absolutely not. usual gamer/porno crowd knows nothing. -distance Depends on what, where and when are you voting for. :) In overall it seems like usual voting at parties causes so much cheating (collecting votekeys/sheets/whatever) and voting for just for only the own prods, not the "best" ones - so is this really what we want? And on the bigger parties the majority of the people who have the right to vote are non-sceners with no interest in nothing else than playing Quake and watching porno... Okay, I'm getting out of the subject now, so back to the point: I wouldn't mind at all if there would be some kind of jury of well known scene people or even the real outsiders who still find computer art interesting who'd rate the competitions. Even 50% jury - 50% visitors would be better than the situation is often nowadays. At least at Juhla 5 jury voting worked quite well.. ;) -melw, who is too tired to vote anymore. no. every played production should be given a mark from 1-10 for instance. and non-player entries should be disqualified so that the creators can still enter it on another party or release it at a group's page (when talking about zik) without it being given a possible unfair low rating. disqualification isn't always bad for the author. -eggbird this is a very good question, but i think that the better question is: "is there any place for charts left?" yes, that's a big problem for any chartsmag and ppl who are collecting votes for this mags. there are only few peoples, who are filling the votes without any reminders. people are lazy and they don't want to do anything which is not usefull for them. they want to be on charts, but they don't want to vote at other sceners! -goro no. they're stupid. -unlock no if you won't have enough voters - shine does it better way -tryhuk i hate every voting-systems !! votings , charts etc. = sucks !! -p-rat I think it`s a bigger problem for the PC Scene that there are so many groups and so many productions that it`s hard to know who to vote for. Online voting is the best .. it`s easy and fast! Nobody`s spreading papervotesheets these days... -Ghandy I'd prefer a system where I can distribute a given amount of points as I want to. Lets say everyone has 10 points for the demo compo. You liked the 4th demo most, more than all the others together, so you can give 6 points to it. Number 2 was quite well done, too, so it gets 2 points, and the last two are given to the 3rd and 6th place because you liked them a bit. That's imho much better than the current system since it allows votes that almost equal your opinion. Ok, perhaps it'd be a lot of work for the organizers if you allow paper voting, but if it's all online, there shouldn't be any problems. -Malte (The Update) ?------------------------------------------------------------------- -- - - !====:] commercial break!
