Mahoney - C64MP3

By Peter Swimm, on February 8th, 2010

By the absence of LCP, probably the most popular 8bit related demoscene event in Sweden, a few members of Up Rough Soundsystem, Genesis Project, Divine Stylers & SceneSat Radio took the responsibility of arranging an alternative party. And by tradition of LCP, some quality productions were being released.

The Scandinavian groups well represented in productions, yet lacking some usual suspects like Hollowman, Booze Design and Triad. The demo results of this year are mostly focused on design and technical achievement. Next to these quality productions there is a small tradition in experiments. Perhaps not coincidentally this is done by some true demoscene veterans, perhaps having played the usual demoscene game – which is about competition for many, instead doing things they like best.

WebLoop Appeared!

By Peter Swimm, on February 7th, 2010

This is the second iteration on the idea of a synthesizer in the web.

This time around, it's another crazy thing: software synthesis in javascript. Yes, that's possible.

What is currently not possible is to output calculated sound data via javascript, so for that purpose, I use a simple
flash applet.

The weblink doesnt seem to work for me, but there is code if you want to give it a try.

lost in space by uoki-toki

By Peter Swimm, on February 7th, 2010

we do nothing but a dense soundscape
of lostness
then rushing to get new sounds,
with an attempt
to keep each piece of tracked techno music

electric bass grooves
that sensation of the question
we've been moving on the music,
in the utmost detail work. 

gathering speed and is a dark distorted
If we simply heard, out the radio
but hi-fi ever danced in blirps
and stripping it just extremely
the best medicine against wrong system 

watching it used to unveil the protection of art
practices playing and unique co-operation
with it's difficult to cancel the style
that grips you to date

The “Comic Bakery” Theme Plagiarized? http://chiptuneblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/comic-bakery-theme-plagiarized.html #
4mat_scenemusic: imo it’s probably a cover of Comic Bakery, those Compunet guys worked pretty fast back then. # … the other song is a cover of “Forever Autumn” from War of the Worlds, hence the title. #
