This week! I have been mostly eating... ice-cubes
! interview !
*** bigbear has joined demojournal
ps good morning
bigbear merry xmas!
*** Scorpik has joined demojournal
ps ok... so lets start... who are you bigbear?
ps b4 xmas! :D
* Scorpik thinks that big bear went to ask his mother who he is... he
is taking too much time :
bigbear Im a scene musician and Im in Level-D and in Fake That.
Besides doing music I also code a little. In real life Im
studying computer science at the University of Bern in
Switzerland
*** claudi- has joined demojournal
bigbear told ya Im tired :
ps big: your interview! you kick starngers!
and how old are you?
bigbear claudi-, sorry :
*** claudi- was kicked by bigbear ed: bad-ass bigbear!
bigbear Im 24
Scorpik no way!
bigbear sure way! :
Scorpik 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!
bigbear they simply think Ive got the same age as you
Scorpik :
bigbear ps, nopes. even if I had one it would be a picture of my
ex-gf, actually :
ps things not going well? :P
bigbear depends... Ive been out with some girls three times this
week. that wouldnt have been possible with a gf
Scorpik no answer....
ps uuhhhh... big: so you make music... hei you were up against
scorpik at wired98. what happened on that one?
Scorpik yeah...he was better than me :/ But I have bought a sniper
rifle and it will never happen again :
bigbear ps: yes I was. well what happened? I somehow won :
ps big: what do you though of scorpiks tune?
scorpik: what do you though of bigbears tune?
bigbear scorpik got 2nd. I was very surprised to beat him,
actually
Scorpik very nice tune!!!! I love it!
bigbear ps, I liked it very much. Ive been a fan of scorpiks
tunes long before that!
Scorpik, youre 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
cant be...
Scorpik 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?
bigbear ps, yes I organized that to keep him calm :
Scorpik 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
Scorpik ps: yup...but lets hear what big bear has to tell us
about Level-D :
bear: what does this D mean?
bigbear okay Level-D first: Its 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 were 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
Scorpik 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!
bigbear right! fire up your browsers and surf to
www.xs4all.nl/virago or www.level-d.com
as soon as its finished!!!
bigbear Scorpik: nah, you would have to go offline to call there
Scorpik :
big: when you will finish your next CD under LevelD label?
ps hehe what about fake that?
bigbear Scorpik: next will be a demo CD in march.
ps, about Fake That: its a swiss demo group, partly
built on the remains of Suprise!Productions swiss section.
were really kinda inactive at the moment and I dont know
when its gonna change our main work is the
organization of a local swiss party called BuenZli
ps oh yes buenzli
bigbear ps, and btw we have many ex-maineditors of the diskmag
PAiN : youve 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...
bigbear 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 ?
Scorpik better tell me when youll stop making music, bcoz I want
to win some music compos :
bigbear ps. no it was some really lame swiss group shouldnt
have mentioned it I guess :D
ps where is s!p then? i dont see it... :
bigbear Scorpik: ha! now that Ive taken away all your self esteem
you wont enter a compo ever again :P
ps scorpik: name 3 diferent ways how you would like to kill
bigbear! :D ed: eheh aint friendship something?
bigbear ps. I personally wasnt it S!P MoZ was like an Art
section of S!P, tho. at least it was founded by Reebok :
Scorpik 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 bigbear on anything?
Scorpik 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
bigbear Scorpik: Sure!! lets find a good studio in the middle
between poland and switzerland
Scorpik ps good idea :
bigbear: hmmmm.....Huelsbecks one? :
ps big: i see you use ft like scorpik... there is a new ft out
you know? seen it already?
bigbear ps. haha he didnt even TRY to kill me after Wired! but he
regrets it, I think
Scorpik ps: what is new in the latest version?
ps scorp: let me check...
Scorpik 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 doesnt work with GUS Pnp Pro currently,
and there might be some memory problems.
so? say smtg someone...
bigbear ps. no I didnt see it yet. Ive been working on synth
tunes lately, not modules :
ps big: tell us more about it... : synths...
Scorpik when FTs owners implement stereo samples option i will
be back to FT songs
bigbear ps. no gus pnp?? damn :
ps why is FT better than IT in your opinion?
bigbear ps: over the years I couldnt resist buying some
synths... now Ive 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?
bigbear ps: actually I didnt have much of a choice. IT didnt
work on my machine until recently and now I dont want to
switch because Im so used to FT
ps big: tell us about your influences in your music besides
smoking curtains
bigbear ps: oh Im 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...
Scorpik he is the only one there :
hmmm....no any answer....so...I am right :
bigbear 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
its still going upwards now
ps why bigbear? why did you choose that nick?
bigbear 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 teddys are so sweet and cute! :P
bigbear yes. but real bears are even cuter okay, until they stand
1m in front of you
Scorpik 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?
bigbear Scorpik: plastic tanks?? so thats what scorpik means in
polish?
Scorpik ps: lets 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!!!
bigbear ps, Im 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
bigbear ps: brave brave sir robin bravely ran away... SHUT UP!
ps big: :D so whats your favorite color? :
Scorpik big: yeah....:
bigbear ps: blue.. ah no, RED! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
are you sure your mag isnt called pythonscene? :
ps scorpik: whats the capital of asyria?
Scorpik 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 bigbear a very interesting
question and save my butt...
Scorpik 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...
bigbear ps, cant you ask me about in-flight velocities of
swallows unladden ones? ed: no! thats too easy!
Scorpik my dear Big Bear...tell us what you think about actuall
form of music compos
bigbear difficult question. one thing I like is the trend to
split the house/techno part off the rest. what I cant
stand is preselection, but I see the problem with too
many entries. and I dont know a good solution myself :
Scorpik 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? Im still asking
about music compo :
bigbear mp3 compos would be cool in a way, but I think 1. it would
be very unfair to people who cant afford expensive gear
and 2. there would be too small a difference to real world
music. Tracked music might lose its originality very
quickly
ps scorpik: another one! :
Scorpik bear: well....you can say the same about demos. What if I
have only 486/8Mb ram? I cant 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
Scorpik ps: come one....keyboards cost almost the same like fast
computers
ps scorpik: i dont know the market prices of keyboards! :P
bigbear Scorpik: its my hobby right now and probably will stay
this way. but you never know... if I get pissed with my
job sometime and Ive got the chance to do a job in music
biz Im gonna do it.
ps what is your job btw?
bigbear Scorpik, about the 486 etc.: due to the speed of todays
machines demos are getting too mathematical nowadays. its
not so.. romantic anymore :
ps. student right now. but that may change at the end of
this year.
Scorpik big: it will change sooner if you still spend your free
time on IRC :
Big bear: tell us what we should ask you about.
bigbear 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?
Scorpik 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
bigbear ps: hummmm... I have no idea : Start smoking more than 1
packet a day? :
ps big: really... what would you do...
Scorpik ps: ehehehe.....
bigbear 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 Id 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...
Scorpik I know his answer! :
bigbear ps, the ones to see or the ones to do?
ps both
bigbear Id 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 isnt
Hustler Magazine, is it? : ... oh and Id certainly
start paragliding again D ed: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
ps :P hahah
what about cordless bungee jumping?
bigbear yes!!! but Id wait until the last day. thatd be a
awesome way to die :
ps hehe! : what if you just get crippled all over and still
breathe?
bigbear no problem. Its my last day, remember? call it tactics :
ed: smart-ass!
ps hehehe! :P yeah, but it still would be one extremly painfull
last day...
bigbear okok, Id 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?
bigbear yeah. hugsn kisses go to all the people in Fake That and
Level-D especially nogsfWorkbench, the swiss scene,
pixel folks, the guys from Calodox go for it guys :
... and scorpik, NOT :
ps haha! where can ppl reach you?
Scorpik oh
bigbear scorpik: :-P dont take it too seriously :
Scorpik dont worry ed: scorpik is now planning how to kill big
bigbear ps: bigbear@webshuttle.ch at the moment. but since Im
gonna change provider soon its 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/gr1ctrl.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 theres 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 its not a
plasma, but I dont 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 :. Its 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
isnt my strongest point. It fits the demo very well in the
beginning, but thereafter its 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 wouldnt download it ourselves in the first place
tight seven? :
Me ? Lazy !? Hey, Im writing this almost during an exam! Well,
just thereafter :. ed: Lazy anyways! :D just kidding
Seven
! intro !
Viper by Eclipse
3rd place at Wired98 100k game compo.
ftp://demo.cat.hu/scene/Demos.98/Wired.98/ ed: sorry i dont know
the exact url...
Well this isnt exaclty and intro. Its 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 arent 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!
Its 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 Elwoods 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 Elwoods typical style of fast-paced
ambient we all know and love! The leads echo as the virtual unknown
vertigo seems never to stop... Its like your on a roller-coaster
always downhill. Its 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! :

// *** QFA Questions that will prolly be Frequently Asked ***
1. Whats 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 Ive carried through with all
the other scene gatherings Ive organized as well. The facility is
confirmed, the funding is assured, and so as long as Saddam Hussein doesnt
nuke San Diego before then were 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 youre 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

ps good morning
bigbear merry xmas!
*** Scorpik has joined demojournal
ps ok... so lets start... who are you bigbear?
ps b4 xmas! :D
* Scorpik thinks that big bear went to ask his mother who he is... he
is taking too much time :
bigbear Im a scene musician and Im in Level-D and in Fake That.
Besides doing music I also code a little. In real life Im
studying computer science at the University of Bern in
Switzerland
*** claudi- has joined demojournal
bigbear told ya Im tired :
ps big: your interview! you kick starngers!
and how old are you?
bigbear claudi-, sorry :
*** claudi- was kicked by bigbear ed: bad-ass bigbear!
bigbear Im 24
Scorpik no way!
bigbear sure way! :
Scorpik 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!
bigbear they simply think Ive got the same age as you
Scorpik :
bigbear ps, nopes. even if I had one it would be a picture of my
ex-gf, actually :
ps things not going well? :P
bigbear depends... Ive been out with some girls three times this
week. that wouldnt have been possible with a gf
Scorpik no answer....
ps uuhhhh... big: so you make music... hei you were up against
scorpik at wired98. what happened on that one?
Scorpik yeah...he was better than me :/ But I have bought a sniper
rifle and it will never happen again :
bigbear ps: yes I was. well what happened? I somehow won :
ps big: what do you though of scorpiks tune?
scorpik: what do you though of bigbears tune?
bigbear scorpik got 2nd. I was very surprised to beat him,
actually
Scorpik very nice tune!!!! I love it!
bigbear ps, I liked it very much. Ive been a fan of scorpiks
tunes long before that!
Scorpik, youre 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
cant be...
Scorpik 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?
bigbear ps, yes I organized that to keep him calm :
Scorpik 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
Scorpik ps: yup...but lets hear what big bear has to tell us
about Level-D :
bear: what does this D mean?
bigbear okay Level-D first: Its 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 were 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
Scorpik 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!
bigbear right! fire up your browsers and surf to
www.xs4all.nl/virago or www.level-d.com
as soon as its finished!!!
bigbear Scorpik: nah, you would have to go offline to call there
Scorpik :
big: when you will finish your next CD under LevelD label?
ps hehe what about fake that?
bigbear Scorpik: next will be a demo CD in march.
ps, about Fake That: its a swiss demo group, partly
built on the remains of Suprise!Productions swiss section.
were really kinda inactive at the moment and I dont know
when its gonna change our main work is the
organization of a local swiss party called BuenZli
ps oh yes buenzli
bigbear ps, and btw we have many ex-maineditors of the diskmag
PAiN : youve 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...
bigbear 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 ?
Scorpik better tell me when youll stop making music, bcoz I want
to win some music compos :
bigbear ps. no it was some really lame swiss group shouldnt
have mentioned it I guess :D
ps where is s!p then? i dont see it... :
bigbear Scorpik: ha! now that Ive taken away all your self esteem
you wont enter a compo ever again :P
ps scorpik: name 3 diferent ways how you would like to kill
bigbear! :D ed: eheh aint friendship something?
bigbear ps. I personally wasnt it S!P MoZ was like an Art
section of S!P, tho. at least it was founded by Reebok :
Scorpik 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 bigbear on anything?
Scorpik 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
bigbear Scorpik: Sure!! lets find a good studio in the middle
between poland and switzerland
Scorpik ps good idea :
bigbear: hmmmm.....Huelsbecks one? :
ps big: i see you use ft like scorpik... there is a new ft out
you know? seen it already?
bigbear ps. haha he didnt even TRY to kill me after Wired! but he
regrets it, I think
Scorpik ps: what is new in the latest version?
ps scorp: let me check...
Scorpik 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

the download page. It doesnt work with GUS Pnp Pro currently,
and there might be some memory problems.
so? say smtg someone...
bigbear ps. no I didnt see it yet. Ive been working on synth
tunes lately, not modules :
ps big: tell us more about it... : synths...
Scorpik when FTs owners implement stereo samples option i will
be back to FT songs
bigbear ps. no gus pnp?? damn :
ps why is FT better than IT in your opinion?
bigbear ps: over the years I couldnt resist buying some
synths... now Ive 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?
bigbear ps: actually I didnt have much of a choice. IT didnt
work on my machine until recently and now I dont want to
switch because Im so used to FT
ps big: tell us about your influences in your music besides
smoking curtains
bigbear ps: oh Im 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...
Scorpik he is the only one there :
hmmm....no any answer....so...I am right :
bigbear 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
its still going upwards now
ps why bigbear? why did you choose that nick?
bigbear 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 teddys are so sweet and cute! :P
bigbear yes. but real bears are even cuter okay, until they stand
1m in front of you
Scorpik 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?
bigbear Scorpik: plastic tanks?? so thats what scorpik means in
polish?
Scorpik ps: lets 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!!!
bigbear ps, Im 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
bigbear ps: brave brave sir robin bravely ran away... SHUT UP!
ps big: :D so whats your favorite color? :
Scorpik big: yeah....:
bigbear ps: blue.. ah no, RED! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
are you sure your mag isnt called pythonscene? :
ps scorpik: whats the capital of asyria?
Scorpik 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 bigbear a very interesting
question and save my butt...
Scorpik 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...
bigbear ps, cant you ask me about in-flight velocities of
swallows unladden ones? ed: no! thats too easy!
Scorpik my dear Big Bear...tell us what you think about actuall
form of music compos
bigbear difficult question. one thing I like is the trend to
split the house/techno part off the rest. what I cant
stand is preselection, but I see the problem with too
many entries. and I dont know a good solution myself :
Scorpik 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? Im still asking
about music compo :
bigbear mp3 compos would be cool in a way, but I think 1. it would
be very unfair to people who cant afford expensive gear
and 2. there would be too small a difference to real world
music. Tracked music might lose its originality very
quickly
ps scorpik: another one! :
Scorpik bear: well....you can say the same about demos. What if I
have only 486/8Mb ram? I cant 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
Scorpik ps: come one....keyboards cost almost the same like fast
computers
ps scorpik: i dont know the market prices of keyboards! :P
bigbear Scorpik: its my hobby right now and probably will stay
this way. but you never know... if I get pissed with my
job sometime and Ive got the chance to do a job in music
biz Im gonna do it.
ps what is your job btw?
bigbear Scorpik, about the 486 etc.: due to the speed of todays
machines demos are getting too mathematical nowadays. its
not so.. romantic anymore :
ps. student right now. but that may change at the end of
this year.
Scorpik big: it will change sooner if you still spend your free
time on IRC :
Big bear: tell us what we should ask you about.
bigbear 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?
Scorpik 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
bigbear ps: hummmm... I have no idea : Start smoking more than 1
packet a day? :
ps big: really... what would you do...
Scorpik ps: ehehehe.....
bigbear 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 Id 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...
Scorpik I know his answer! :
bigbear ps, the ones to see or the ones to do?
ps both
bigbear Id 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 isnt
Hustler Magazine, is it? : ... oh and Id certainly
start paragliding again D ed: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
ps :P hahah
what about cordless bungee jumping?
bigbear yes!!! but Id wait until the last day. thatd be a
awesome way to die :
ps hehe! : what if you just get crippled all over and still
breathe?
bigbear no problem. Its my last day, remember? call it tactics :
ed: smart-ass!
ps hehehe! :P yeah, but it still would be one extremly painfull
last day...
bigbear okok, Id 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?
bigbear yeah. hugsn kisses go to all the people in Fake That and
Level-D especially nogsfWorkbench, the swiss scene,
pixel folks, the guys from Calodox go for it guys :
... and scorpik, NOT :
ps haha! where can ppl reach you?
Scorpik oh
bigbear scorpik: :-P dont take it too seriously :
Scorpik dont worry ed: scorpik is now planning how to kill big
bigbear ps: bigbear@webshuttle.ch at the moment. but since Im
gonna change provider soon its 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/gr1ctrl.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 theres 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 its not a
plasma, but I dont 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 :. Its 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
isnt my strongest point. It fits the demo very well in the
beginning, but thereafter its 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 wouldnt download it ourselves in the first place
tight seven? :
Me ? Lazy !? Hey, Im writing this almost during an exam! Well,
just thereafter :. ed: Lazy anyways! :D just kidding
Seven
! intro !
Viper by Eclipse
3rd place at Wired98 100k game compo.
ftp://demo.cat.hu/scene/Demos.98/Wired.98/ ed: sorry i dont know
the exact url...
Well this isnt exaclty and intro. Its 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 arent 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!
Its 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 Elwoods 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 Elwoods typical style of fast-paced
ambient we all know and love! The leads echo as the virtual unknown
vertigo seems never to stop... Its like your on a roller-coaster
always downhill. Its 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! :

// *** QFA Questions that will prolly be Frequently Asked ***
1. Whats 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 Ive carried through with all
the other scene gatherings Ive organized as well. The facility is
confirmed, the funding is assured, and so as long as Saddam Hussein doesnt
nuke San Diego before then were 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 youre the type of person who
engages in such activity.
// *** Compos ***

the following competitions will happen:
- Demo competition probably an open competition for most anything we can get
