!: weekly :
This week! I have been mostly eating... lettuce
! interview !
ps ok, so for starters... who the hell are you? :
cube-TRM !Cube / Trauma + SCS*TRC + Scallop, did that answer your
question? :
ps not really... who are you on real life? :
cube-TRM well, my real name is Toni Lnnberg, Im a 22 year old
dude from Vantaa, Finland, and Im studying computer
science at the university of Helsinki.
ps tell us about your groups... what have you been up to lately?
cube-TRM About the groups, Trauma is a Finnish demogroup on the PC,
which was formed when DEE, Dubius and Hysteria merged.
Weve made a few demos which have gotten to 3rd and 1st
position in the Assembly event. SCS*TRC aka
Success+The Ruling Company is a C64 crackgroup which I
joined in -96 as a composer, the group itself is formed of
mostly Germans and Dutch guys. And Scallop is a Finnish
C64 demogroup which I joined last year, it hasnt done
much yet but someday :
As for myself, Ive been really busy with the university
but I try to get time for composing and coding the C64
whenever I can. thats about it :
if that answered your question at all :
ps hehe tell us about DEE music disk... it was very acclaimed by
the scene at the time it was released, and then DEE2 aswell...
cube-TRM The idea of the DEE music disks was realized by myself and
Nitro/Trauma back in.. err.. was it 95 ? : The reason
why we started to make music disks instead of just
spreading individual tunes was that at that time it
seemed music disks were spread more widely in the BBS,
hence came DEE musicdisks. There has been 5 DEE music
disks but it seems that our music is nowadays midi-stuff
so I dont know whether therell be any more.
ps do you remember how much time you spent composing for each
disk?
cube-TRM Well, the average time of the composing process would be a
bit hard to calculate since most of my tunes lie on my
harddrive for three months and I add some little things
to them once in a while.. on the other hand, sometimes I
compose a tune in one day. So as you can see, its not
that easy to say :
ps what trackers have you been using through the times?
cube-TRM I started on the Atari ST with NoiseTracker which was
a horrid piece of software, later on I moved to ProTracker
and later on PC Ive used FT2. On the Atari and C64 I also
composed soundchip-stuff, but the editors Ive used for
them are too numerous to mention.
ps why didnt you moved to IT then? seems most people are changing
nowdays...
cube-TRM Well Ive gotten used to the ProTracker interface along
the years so I like FT2 in that perspective, and it suits
my needs. IT has some neat new things like the NNA but I
dont feel comfortable with the ST3 interface and I cant
be bothered to learn all the new commands :
ps and now you say you are doing more midi stuff... what programs
do you use for that?
cube-TRM I use Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 at the moment, it suits me
since it can also handle samples aswell.
ps you do your own samples i reckon then...
cube-TRM with tracker stuff, I tend to rip most of my samples :
but when it comes to midi-stuff, I only use ambient sounds
and drum loops as samples which I construct personally.
ps how do you construct them then?
cube-TRM well I have a small sample library where I take some
ambient samples and mix them together with FT2 or
SoundForge, the drum loops I compose with FT2 and then
modify them with SoundForge aswell.
ps and there was much rejoicing! :
what are your plans for the future?
cube-TRM I continue studying at the university, hopefully
graduating someday. Ill still be composing and coding on
the PC and C64 for as long as I find it interesting, and
Im trying to get my music on the market in different ways
with Teque and Nitro.
ps you recall your first scene party? tell us about it...
cube-TRM I believe it was one of those annual Atari ST -parties in
Finland which were organized by Extream. I think the
first one was in 89. What I recall from the party itself
is kinda blurred now.. I do remember some farting
Amiga-dude but thats about all :
ps so let me get this straight... your best memory of your first
scene party was a guy farting?
cube-TRM thats about the only thing I can recall since we had a
bunch of laughs watching this Amiga-guy sleep, burping
and farting in two second intervals :
ps bahahah
cube-TRM I do recall coding my first GFA-basic intro aswell..
ps GFA?
cube-TRM Dont remember where the GFA comes from but it was a
pretty good basic programming language used quite much on
the Atari ST.
ps i have become wiser! :
cube-TRM now you can die happy :
ps hehe... :P
ok, tell us who are your favorite scene coders/gfx/musicians..
cube-TRM fave coders, well, Camel/Pulse, Echo/Fudge and
Vipa/Purple.. as for graphists, Lazur/Pulse and
Made/Bomb.. fave musicians are too numerous to mention
since theres so many of them..
ps do give it a try... i have time... :

know where it is :
ps you understimate the knowledge of my people! we know
everything! : ed: and are everywhere!
cube-TRM yep.. sure thing :
ps you dont believe me? ill sworn a plague on you!!!!
cube-TRM yep yep..
ps may your feet be deeply covered in snot and rare fungus!
c b.witched 95

puny existance i shall ask 5 questions... if you answer

right... well... ill let you pass anyway but dont tell anyone!

! demo !
Tislaaja by Replay ranked 9th at Elevator 99
I review now this one, becouse this is the only one 99 demo what i
found on the net yet. Its a cooperation between Replay dudezm
Aap/Acme and Distance/Tpolm. Well if you have seen my Fleur2
Evoke98 review, there i said, that their production wasnt too
original. Maybe they have read that, and changed gear, becouse they
made well designed, feeling stuffz. In Park Jinsung Compusphere 98
Mplus! Jumper 98 Manual Materia TP 98 they really showed what
they can, and as Goofy told me, the demofactory will not stop,
workin hard on new projects. We laught a lot about Exceeds and
Replays different kind of demomaking, if we make one in 6 months,
they 5 or 6. But back to Tislaaja. Whats in this stuff? Lot of
pics scrollies, simple, but good lookin and movin 3d objects, and
texts for your brain. Nothing much, you think? Well watch the unique
design, the colors, the funny little things!
Yes these stuffz keep me : when iam in a bad mood. And Poisons
musics in Mplus and Jinsung really rock, i like the 303 stuff in it!
Distance made a good work in this demo, but unfortunelly they cutted
it, becouse it was too long. Never stop Replay!

! intro !
keskininen vihanpito by COMA placed 1st. elevator99
Hmm. I think Virne likes birds. Remember? Birdcage - Tiputipu -
and this one.
Now again in high resolution but in still 8 bit, tunnels,
particles, blur, and and .... as always. The design is again what you
expected: Coma style. For some people unique, the others cant
understand this. Coma: Hate or Love. I really liked the part when lot
of black birdie objects moved on the screen in a white fog. Baldis
made the industrial track. This won, but the others were close. This
intro is better then the TP one.
MESSAGE! I really wanna check the Elevator 99 third placed intro
called: Impact 3 by Mewlers. Upload it to demo.cat.hu! Thanks!

! mod !
tamas kingdom by muffler
Taken from www.mono211.com mtam.zip
This one is the soundtrack of winner TP7 Amiga democompo. Muffler
style all the way. Sharp sound mixed with heavy drums. Perfect
mindfuck combination that muffler always delivers!
Some samples from tamagotchi by jazz. As it says in the infofile
ed: wow! i can read!!!
I am nt very good describing music but this time i must transcend
myself and do it! We have little more than 3 mnutes of tune. It
starts by a some-how drifting ambient electro sounds. Which
develops into a heavy drum and bleep. After a while we get hit by a
mellow beat with some heavy electronic gear layered on top. Fast back
into the normal drum and bleep line. You can notice the work spent
on these lines though... 5 or 6 layers of diferent sounds carefully
interlaced to deliver the right tone of each instrument/sample. I
would like to pay special attention to the really sharp sounds that
eco in the background or foreground if you have sharp ears. These
are really muffler style, or atleast that is what i recognixe them
with. Strong beats, sharp sounds, carefully entwined together.
This tune isnt that long but it is defintly a good demo tune
since it has several breakdowns and beat changes which allow heavy
syncing, which is defintly the trademark of haujobb PC dont know
much of amiga division...
ps
! quote !
SUNREAL destroying something like CNCD would sure be an
achievement remembered for eons
SUNREAL Im off to plan how to kill some more groups.
Taken from pixel log... Here you go... We let you know in first
hand Unreals real plans for his demogroups! KILL THEM ALL!!! First
Suprise!Productions, now Pulse... Next is CNCD! Is there any stopping
to this mindless destruction?

disks but it seems that our music is nowadays midi-stuff
so I dont know whether therell be any more.
ps do you remember how much time you spent composing for each
disk?
cube-TRM Well, the average time of the composing process would be a
bit hard to calculate since most of my tunes lie on my
harddrive for three months and I add some little things
to them once in a while.. on the other hand, sometimes I
compose a tune in one day. So as you can see, its not
that easy to say :
ps what trackers have you been using through the times?
cube-TRM I started on the Atari ST with NoiseTracker which was
a horrid piece of software, later on I moved to ProTracker
and later on PC Ive used FT2. On the Atari and C64 I also
composed soundchip-stuff, but the editors Ive used for
them are too numerous to mention.
ps why didnt you moved to IT then? seems most people are changing
nowdays...
cube-TRM Well Ive gotten used to the ProTracker interface along
the years so I like FT2 in that perspective, and it suits
my needs. IT has some neat new things like the NNA but I
dont feel comfortable with the ST3 interface and I cant
be bothered to learn all the new commands :
ps and now you say you are doing more midi stuff... what programs
do you use for that?
cube-TRM I use Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 at the moment, it suits me
since it can also handle samples aswell.
ps you do your own samples i reckon then...
cube-TRM with tracker stuff, I tend to rip most of my samples :
but when it comes to midi-stuff, I only use ambient sounds
and drum loops as samples which I construct personally.
ps how do you construct them then?
cube-TRM well I have a small sample library where I take some
ambient samples and mix them together with FT2 or
SoundForge, the drum loops I compose with FT2 and then
modify them with SoundForge aswell.
ps and there was much rejoicing! :
what are your plans for the future?
cube-TRM I continue studying at the university, hopefully
graduating someday. Ill still be composing and coding on
the PC and C64 for as long as I find it interesting, and
Im trying to get my music on the market in different ways
with Teque and Nitro.
ps you recall your first scene party? tell us about it...
cube-TRM I believe it was one of those annual Atari ST -parties in
Finland which were organized by Extream. I think the
first one was in 89. What I recall from the party itself
is kinda blurred now.. I do remember some farting
Amiga-dude but thats about all :
ps so let me get this straight... your best memory of your first
scene party was a guy farting?
cube-TRM thats about the only thing I can recall since we had a
bunch of laughs watching this Amiga-guy sleep, burping
and farting in two second intervals :
ps bahahah
cube-TRM I do recall coding my first GFA-basic intro aswell..
ps GFA?
cube-TRM Dont remember where the GFA comes from but it was a
pretty good basic programming language used quite much on
the Atari ST.
ps i have become wiser! :
cube-TRM now you can die happy :
ps hehe... :P
ok, tell us who are your favorite scene coders/gfx/musicians..
cube-TRM fave coders, well, Camel/Pulse, Echo/Fudge and
Vipa/Purple.. as for graphists, Lazur/Pulse and

! demo !
Tislaaja by Replay ranked 9th at Elevator 99
I review now this one, becouse this is the only one 99 demo what i
found on the net yet. Its a cooperation between Replay dudezm
Aap/Acme and Distance/Tpolm. Well if you have seen my Fleur2
Evoke98 review, there i said, that their production wasnt too
original. Maybe they have read that, and changed gear, becouse they
made well designed, feeling stuffz. In Park Jinsung Compusphere 98
Mplus! Jumper 98 Manual Materia TP 98 they really showed what
they can, and as Goofy told me, the demofactory will not stop,
workin hard on new projects. We laught a lot about Exceeds and
Replays different kind of demomaking, if we make one in 6 months,
they 5 or 6. But back to Tislaaja. Whats in this stuff? Lot of
pics scrollies, simple, but good lookin and movin 3d objects, and
texts for your brain. Nothing much, you think? Well watch the unique
design, the colors, the funny little things!
Yes these stuffz keep me : when iam in a bad mood. And Poisons
musics in Mplus and Jinsung really rock, i like the 303 stuff in it!
Distance made a good work in this demo, but unfortunelly they cutted
it, becouse it was too long. Never stop Replay!

! intro !
keskininen vihanpito by COMA placed 1st. elevator99
Hmm. I think Virne likes birds. Remember? Birdcage - Tiputipu -
and this one.
Now again in high resolution but in still 8 bit, tunnels,
particles, blur, and and .... as always. The design is again what you
expected: Coma style. For some people unique, the others cant
understand this. Coma: Hate or Love. I really liked the part when lot
of black birdie objects moved on the screen in a white fog. Baldis
made the industrial track. This won, but the others were close. This
intro is better then the TP one.
MESSAGE! I really wanna check the Elevator 99 third placed intro
called: Impact 3 by Mewlers. Upload it to demo.cat.hu! Thanks!

tamas kingdom by muffler
Taken from www.mono211.com mtam.zip
This one is the soundtrack of winner TP7 Amiga democompo. Muffler
style all the way. Sharp sound mixed with heavy drums. Perfect
mindfuck combination that muffler always delivers!
Some samples from tamagotchi by jazz. As it says in the infofile
ed: wow! i can read!!!
I am nt very good describing music but this time i must transcend
myself and do it! We have little more than 3 mnutes of tune. It
starts by a some-how drifting ambient electro sounds. Which
develops into a heavy drum and bleep. After a while we get hit by a
mellow beat with some heavy electronic gear layered on top. Fast back
into the normal drum and bleep line. You can notice the work spent
on these lines though... 5 or 6 layers of diferent sounds carefully
interlaced to deliver the right tone of each instrument/sample. I
would like to pay special attention to the really sharp sounds that
eco in the background or foreground if you have sharp ears. These
are really muffler style, or atleast that is what i recognixe them
with. Strong beats, sharp sounds, carefully entwined together.
This tune isnt that long but it is defintly a good demo tune
since it has several breakdowns and beat changes which allow heavy
syncing, which is defintly the trademark of haujobb PC dont know
much of amiga division...
