This week! I have been mostly eating... exams
! interview !
Session Start: Thu Jul 08 21:43:07 1999
*** rezTPOLM has joined demojournal
rezTPOLM hello hello !
ps hello! :
ps so who are you?
* rezTPOLM is Christophe
, musician in Eclipse and
TPOLM demogroups, active in scene since 1993... etc... etc...
ps : hehe : so what is it so appealing about bubble bobble? :
rezTPOLM ... :
because its the best game ever made ! :
in fact all the oldschool design of all that old
arcade game
ps whats your favorite level? :
rezTPOLM haha... the 13
ps why?
rezTPOLM because there is a big heart in it
ps so you are in the scene since 93. how did you discover it?
rezTPOLM i have discover the demoscene in 1991 with the
Enigma demo by Phenomena Amiga on a computer store
ps how did you managed to get in touch with the rest of the
people? :
rezTPOLM in june 1993, i had watched a cool intro from a new crew
called Agoa, their first intro... during the scrolltext,
they mentioned their adress for joining, i have write...
and join !
ps sounds easy : what happened after that? :
rezTPOLM i have join Agoa during june 1993, two months after i meet
the whole Agoa crew during the Saturne Party 1 !!
my first demo party
ps how was it? good? bad?
rezTPOLM goooooooooooooooooooooooood !
ps hehe
rezTPOLM like all old parties
only REAL sceners
ps you think new parties are not so good?
rezTPOLM there is too many gamers and non-demoscene people
ps what about the quality of the productions, do you think
4ch music 8bit pixels are better then the new stuff?
rezTPOLM sound quality is better, but i think musicians dont
take the time to search melody
except some of course :
ps what is it about chip tunes that is so appealing?
rezTPOLM yeeeeeeeeeeeeep, im a GREAT chiptune fan !
ps but why? : what makes the diference between chips and normal
music?
rezTPOLM samples of courses
they must be... chip
the music must have some arppegios effects :
in fact, the chiptune -in my opinion- must sound like old
c64 or atari synthetic song
i think you will see if a musician was good if he do good
music without real samples
ps ok, now i must ask you, what were you thinking of when you
created tchernobyl flowers? :P
rezTPOLM ha... h
i was thinking about doing the most apocalyptic song ever
made ! :
ps :P more seriously now.. how do you find inspiration for
your songs? :
rezTPOLM mmm... i want to do a completely different thing for each
music i do.
i dont like doing twice the same thing
i search original thing, never do again
its hard :
ps how do you do it? how much time does it take to do one song?
rezTPOLM hmmm....
per example : jimi goes to katmandu 6 months
per example : afterbirth my last music two days
ps hehe :
rezTPOLM depending on inspiration
ps so in what groups are you nowdays? what are you planning? :
rezTPOLM im alway in Eclipse, my old PC group, but we arent so
active on demoscene, we do some little commercial games
and im also in the big family of
The Planet Of Leather Moomins

demo construction set software :

them around? :
reztpolm lost since a century : i have the song if you want
ps give me! i want to feel less bad about my first experiments
as a tracker
i hope its bad :P

! demo !
Changes by Fool party-version
Found at http://popsyteam.rtel.fr/VIP
1st place at the VIP99
System requirements:
2.6 MB HD, Vesa2, Midas-compatible soundcard.
Nothing mentioned about CPU or RAM...
The demo:
OK, finally found the VIP-winner thanks to the results in the
previous DJ :. And its well worth to search for it! This one is
really good. It has not much 3D, the main emphasis is on 2D effects.
There are always 2 or more shown at the same time, not always just
layered over each other, but sometimes one effect fills the black
areas of the other. Tunnels, plasmas, rays of light... not new but
never boring, due to the combinations, the fast changes and the
colors. The entire demo is very colorful, really pleasing the eye.
The background pictures are OK, lots of photoshopped ethnic symbols
Chinese characters, African and new-age symbols, and also lots of
pictures of eyes. The foreground pictures are the traditional girls,
but Ive seen better ones. They have large areas filled with the
same color, which makes them seem a bit flat. The 3D is limited to
standalone objects, of which I like the lots of blocks forming a
tunnel the best.
The music:
You can find a lot of different styles in there. Ethnic vocals,
techno-beats and more peaceful, melodic parts, all nicely combined
in one tune. It makes it a bit difficult to describe lousy excuse
for being lazy today. Of course everything is fully synchronized:
main parts follow melodic themes, and objects and white flashes
change to the beat.
Worth the download?
Yes, you should have it already! As the second production of a
3-men group, this is outstanding. Just one minor bad point: there
seems to be a message in the demo ethnic vocals symbols, the
slogans change yourself, change your destiny, its just another
step of your evolution, but it doesnt really come across. It gets
a bit lost in the nice effects, or maybe Im just to dumb to
understand it. Im sure YOU will get it :
Seven
! intro !
*strike 2* :P
! music !
August Nights
Stereoman
noise.org
1996
This one is the 2nd song by stereoman I did get. Ambient flutes,
nice bassline, typically very good percussion and saxophone in two
minute loop. The music makes you fall to sleep, and you can be sure
that youll not interrupt this one. When I did get this song Ive
listened to it aprox 30 minutes nonstop while coding and Ive
stopped it only because my prog has crashed. It is one of a few
melodic tunes by him and you should have it.
Swift Exposure
Vivid Assign
kosmic.org
1997
Absolutely great track. Its name perfectly reflects the songs.
It has some of the typical signs of Vivid, but Assign gives to the
song more interesting sound. The song runs at 3/6 132bpm speed,
it has a great bassline and high number of the main instruments
makes it interesting. Its definitely one of the best releases
from kosmic.
Dalezy of level-d has made a remix of this tune and he did a great
job. The most noticable change is in the tempo which gives a
completely different feeling to the tune. Get both versions!
Once upon the time
Loonie
groovy compo 4 winner
1997
This is one of my favourite songs from Groovy compo. Loonie is
once again proving that hes the top tracker and makes great leads.
This tune has really groovy feeling made by great bassline and
drums, the leads are made of more instruments which are fading over
and the melody is changing all the song. Only the main piano part
remains. Get this one because its really one of the top songs.

reptai what? your really coming to hungary?
i though you were joking!
editor: im going alright! :
! question !
distance yeah, fast tracker 2000, impulsetracker 3.. buzz.. X3..
distance and also what happened to the wonderful MOKA tracker
distance moka moby+karl
can anyone help us on this? :
moka is dead with nooon
- gandalf
Id say it has to be because there isnt one tracker that has
completely controlled things that is in development. i.e., Impulse
Tracker was developed, and was the main tracker, thus no one else
developed anything, because it was already being done. Now we dont
really have a major, used-by-lots-of-people tracker that is still
being majorly modified. So, theres an opening and a reason for
people to develop a tracker. It just happens that a lot of people
got the urge this time around, and that none has really captured the
scenes imagination.
course, thinking back, with KingMod, Protracker, and all those
other nameless modtrackers that I have long forgotten and most that
I havent used, perhaps the question is why so few were developed a
couple of years back, rather than why so many are being developed
now.
- Clay Busker
it3: commercial sucks
buzz: sucks
conclusion: give me a tracker which is as usable as ft2 and I might
consider trying another tracker. And I think, most people who still
use ft2 although IT might be better agree with me...
i think one features that a kickass tracker needs is the possibility
to replace the player, the loader and the sound card drivers with
any self-coded libraries e.g. for trying customized fx, etc And as
some other ppl have already pointed out, a replacable GUI would
also be useful. So in the end everything has to be flexible. solution:
CODE YOUR OWN TRACKER!
- bam!eVolve
perhaps its because of the gradual splitting of the music
and demoscenes, and musician-coders arent as interested in
demos? anyway, there have always been lots of music players
and trackers, its just that only a few get accepted in the
end.
- mosh.forsaken
Hmm,
i always wondered, hope Moby isnt THAT Moby,
or is he?
- Quartz
editor: i wonder too... i guess no since moby/nooon is from france
and THAT moby is from the uk. i think.

Session Start: Thu Jul 08 21:43:07 1999
*** rezTPOLM has joined demojournal
rezTPOLM hello hello !
ps hello! :
ps so who are you?
* rezTPOLM is Christophe
, musician in Eclipse and
TPOLM demogroups, active in scene since 1993... etc... etc...
ps : hehe : so what is it so appealing about bubble bobble? :
rezTPOLM ... :
because its the best game ever made ! :
in fact all the oldschool design of all that old
arcade game
ps whats your favorite level? :
rezTPOLM haha... the 13
ps why?
rezTPOLM because there is a big heart in it
ps so you are in the scene since 93. how did you discover it?
rezTPOLM i have discover the demoscene in 1991 with the
Enigma demo by Phenomena Amiga on a computer store
ps how did you managed to get in touch with the rest of the
people? :
rezTPOLM in june 1993, i had watched a cool intro from a new crew
called Agoa, their first intro... during the scrolltext,
they mentioned their adress for joining, i have write...
and join !
ps sounds easy : what happened after that? :
rezTPOLM i have join Agoa during june 1993, two months after i meet
the whole Agoa crew during the Saturne Party 1 !!
my first demo party
ps how was it? good? bad?
rezTPOLM goooooooooooooooooooooooood !
ps hehe
rezTPOLM like all old parties
only REAL sceners
ps you think new parties are not so good?
rezTPOLM there is too many gamers and non-demoscene people
ps what about the quality of the productions, do you think
4ch music 8bit pixels are better then the new stuff?
rezTPOLM sound quality is better, but i think musicians dont
take the time to search melody
except some of course :
ps what is it about chip tunes that is so appealing?
rezTPOLM yeeeeeeeeeeeeep, im a GREAT chiptune fan !
ps but why? : what makes the diference between chips and normal
music?
rezTPOLM samples of courses
they must be... chip
the music must have some arppegios effects :
in fact, the chiptune -in my opinion- must sound like old
c64 or atari synthetic song
i think you will see if a musician was good if he do good
music without real samples
ps ok, now i must ask you, what were you thinking of when you
created tchernobyl flowers? :P
rezTPOLM ha... h
i was thinking about doing the most apocalyptic song ever
made ! :
ps :P more seriously now.. how do you find inspiration for
your songs? :
rezTPOLM mmm... i want to do a completely different thing for each
music i do.
i dont like doing twice the same thing
i search original thing, never do again
its hard :
ps how do you do it? how much time does it take to do one song?
rezTPOLM hmmm....
per example : jimi goes to katmandu 6 months
per example : afterbirth my last music two days
ps hehe :
rezTPOLM depending on inspiration
ps so in what groups are you nowdays? what are you planning? :
rezTPOLM im alway in Eclipse, my old PC group, but we arent so
active on demoscene, we do some little commercial games
and im also in the big family of
The Planet Of Leather Moomins

! demo !
Changes by Fool party-version
Found at http://popsyteam.rtel.fr/VIP
1st place at the VIP99
System requirements:
2.6 MB HD, Vesa2, Midas-compatible soundcard.
Nothing mentioned about CPU or RAM...
The demo:
OK, finally found the VIP-winner thanks to the results in the
previous DJ :. And its well worth to search for it! This one is
really good. It has not much 3D, the main emphasis is on 2D effects.
There are always 2 or more shown at the same time, not always just
layered over each other, but sometimes one effect fills the black
areas of the other. Tunnels, plasmas, rays of light... not new but
never boring, due to the combinations, the fast changes and the
colors. The entire demo is very colorful, really pleasing the eye.
The background pictures are OK, lots of photoshopped ethnic symbols
Chinese characters, African and new-age symbols, and also lots of
pictures of eyes. The foreground pictures are the traditional girls,
but Ive seen better ones. They have large areas filled with the
same color, which makes them seem a bit flat. The 3D is limited to
standalone objects, of which I like the lots of blocks forming a
tunnel the best.
The music:
You can find a lot of different styles in there. Ethnic vocals,
techno-beats and more peaceful, melodic parts, all nicely combined
in one tune. It makes it a bit difficult to describe lousy excuse
for being lazy today. Of course everything is fully synchronized:
main parts follow melodic themes, and objects and white flashes
change to the beat.
Worth the download?
Yes, you should have it already! As the second production of a
3-men group, this is outstanding. Just one minor bad point: there
seems to be a message in the demo ethnic vocals symbols, the
slogans change yourself, change your destiny, its just another
step of your evolution, but it doesnt really come across. It gets
a bit lost in the nice effects, or maybe Im just to dumb to
understand it. Im sure YOU will get it :
Seven
! intro !
*strike 2* :P
! music !
August Nights
Stereoman
noise.org
1996
This one is the 2nd song by stereoman I did get. Ambient flutes,
nice bassline, typically very good percussion and saxophone in two
minute loop. The music makes you fall to sleep, and you can be sure
that youll not interrupt this one. When I did get this song Ive
listened to it aprox 30 minutes nonstop while coding and Ive
stopped it only because my prog has crashed. It is one of a few
melodic tunes by him and you should have it.
Swift Exposure
Vivid Assign
kosmic.org
1997
Absolutely great track. Its name perfectly reflects the songs.
It has some of the typical signs of Vivid, but Assign gives to the
song more interesting sound. The song runs at 3/6 132bpm speed,
it has a great bassline and high number of the main instruments
makes it interesting. Its definitely one of the best releases
from kosmic.
Dalezy of level-d has made a remix of this tune and he did a great
job. The most noticable change is in the tempo which gives a
completely different feeling to the tune. Get both versions!
Once upon the time
Loonie
groovy compo 4 winner
1997
This is one of my favourite songs from Groovy compo. Loonie is
once again proving that hes the top tracker and makes great leads.
This tune has really groovy feeling made by great bassline and
drums, the leads are made of more instruments which are fading over
and the melody is changing all the song. Only the main piano part
remains. Get this one because its really one of the top songs.

! quote !
reptai what? your really coming to hungary?
i though you were joking!
editor: im going alright! :
! question !
distance yeah, fast tracker 2000, impulsetracker 3.. buzz.. X3..
distance and also what happened to the wonderful MOKA tracker
distance moka moby+karl
can anyone help us on this? :
moka is dead with nooon
- gandalf
Id say it has to be because there isnt one tracker that has
completely controlled things that is in development. i.e., Impulse
Tracker was developed, and was the main tracker, thus no one else
developed anything, because it was already being done. Now we dont
really have a major, used-by-lots-of-people tracker that is still
being majorly modified. So, theres an opening and a reason for
people to develop a tracker. It just happens that a lot of people
got the urge this time around, and that none has really captured the
scenes imagination.
course, thinking back, with KingMod, Protracker, and all those
other nameless modtrackers that I have long forgotten and most that
I havent used, perhaps the question is why so few were developed a
couple of years back, rather than why so many are being developed
now.
- Clay Busker
it3: commercial sucks
buzz: sucks
conclusion: give me a tracker which is as usable as ft2 and I might
consider trying another tracker. And I think, most people who still
use ft2 although IT might be better agree with me...
i think one features that a kickass tracker needs is the possibility
to replace the player, the loader and the sound card drivers with
any self-coded libraries e.g. for trying customized fx, etc And as
some other ppl have already pointed out, a replacable GUI would
also be useful. So in the end everything has to be flexible. solution:
CODE YOUR OWN TRACKER!
- bam!eVolve
perhaps its because of the gradual splitting of the music
and demoscenes, and musician-coders arent as interested in
demos? anyway, there have always been lots of music players
and trackers, its just that only a few get accepted in the
end.
- mosh.forsaken
Hmm,
i always wondered, hope Moby isnt THAT Moby,
or is he?
- Quartz
editor: i wonder too... i guess no since moby/nooon is from france
and THAT moby is from the uk. i think.
