=====! interview !=============================================================

        Session Start: Fri Oct 29 23:25:01 1999

        *** yks_k has joined #demojournal

        <|ps|> hello! :)

        <yks_k> houp! where are the cameras?

        <|ps|> so who are you?

        <yks_k> :) a lifeform, i guess
                my real name is bartek idzi i live in cracow, poland
                (this space intentionally left blank)

        <|ps|> :) and what do you do on this thing we call scene?

        <yks_k> i am wondering right now, really
                i dont belong here i guess:)
                seriously i did some music, but thats only a small part of
                what ive done in my life

        <|ps|> a simple function/group would be enough ;)
               what have you done on your life then?

        <yks_k> ah, various things- selling hot dogs on the corner and such
                im in omnicolour group now and my function is
                organizing/making soundtracks

        <|ps|> tell us omnicolors history please :)

        <yks_k> my official nick is yez, but since i dont like it anymore
                i'll be using some others in a short time.
                ok, its omnicolour exactly, but since you thought its
                omnicolor, you didnt really lie, so that's good! :)
                it all started in 1995, where i was a teapot-boy

        <|ps|> teapot is nice.. tell me more

        <yks_k> when me and my brother started spotting trains we decided to
                make a group we were in a group called liberty before, which
                was also organized by me the group exists still, but there
                came a time when we decided to split
                we made one demo under liberty label it was practically
                omnicolour demo, as members migrated then

        <|ps|> who is on omnicolour nowdays then?

        <yks_k> its basically omnicolour brothers
                thats spk and me (we're real brothers)
                besides we have a coder - spy(who was in poison) and a
                musician - xhyp (he's finnish)
                i heard you wanted to pay us so your nickname would show in
                our next intro, is that TRUE? ;)

        <|ps|> uh.. *rolls his eyes* that depends on amount of money youll
               be asking for it :P what about jlt? he coded liquid-a isnt he
               a member of omnicolour?

        <yks_k> well he was at a time and since he doesnt want to be i dont
                consider him as a member. we dont even have an official
                infofile. who needs them anyway?:)

        <|ps|> what happened there? can we know or is it internal omc stuff?

        <yks_k> nothing, he's a coder in liberty, and since he's lazy
                (but DAMN intelligent) he has just enough time to code for
                one group and since we didnt want to share effects
                we looked for someone else

        <|ps|> well, what are your plans for world domination now then?
               whats in store in the near future?

        <yks_k> i dont see any future mister:)
                we kinda tried to do some demo but right now we dont know if
                something comes out. its a lack of interest maybe
                but when we do, it'll be either opengl or video
                or, some classic intro coding

        <|ps|> what do you mean lack of interested? the brothers arent
               working it out anymore? :(

        <yks_k> uhm, the brothers got to the point when different things are
                more important
                dont know
                we've never been into the scene REALLY
                always did some little things around, still got lot of them
                laying around the hd. a lot of things never get finished

        <|ps|> uh well.. maybe you just need some motivation to finish them:)

        <yks_k> yeah that has always been the problem too

        <|ps|> an upcoming demoparty might do the trick :P

        <yks_k> isnt it looking as a normal interview or am i blind here? :)

        <|ps|> who cares about interviews? :) do you like reading interviews?

        <yks_k> well I DID actually read some:)
                in some demojournal, it's only i dont have time to do that
                often. they're mostly funny

        <|ps|> well funny is good right? keeps one entertained for a bit :)
               anyways, tell us about bakkslide 7, everyone seems to love
               that intro..

        <yks_k> yes, and as you see i am not funny at all:)
                bakkslide 7? that CRAP? :)
                no seriously, i dont know what you all people see in it
                of course what i can criticize is my work only because as
                far as it goes mrock is the man when it gets to code
                something

        <|ps|> well.. the design for once, the feeling for twice and the
               writings to end it up :) you plea guilty or not guilty?

        <yks_k> guilty of what?:) electrizing the masses?:D

        <|ps|> who came up with those writings?

        <yks_k> me

        <|ps|> well then your guilty. how did you came up with them?

        <yks_k> normally, i usually listen to my track while writing them
                pattern by pattern motive by motive
                find emotions which fit the music

        <|ps|> how can one show emotions on a computer screen and through
               the speakers?

        <yks_k> its the waves really. everything digital comes out analog,
                dont you see? its music thats waves, and so is the colour
                and tone. see now?

        <|ps|> i see i see :) so what other emotional products have
               omnicolour and yourself released along their way?

        <yks_k> well, firstly "gone" made under liberty label
                maybe too emotional for some so it didnt rank high
                still i think its nice, and was good for that times

        <|ps|> and next we have.. :)

        <yks_k> year after gone we released liquid_a
                while most of people may consider this a show-off
                like i do _partly_ it does contain some part of us

        <|ps|> contains a part of you?

        <yks_k> no texts, as i couldnt figure out what to write:)
                yes,why

        <|ps|> a part of material you is in that demo?

        <yks_k> not material!

        <|ps|> then what?

        <yks_k> emotions? feelings? thoughts? ideas?
                well we know what

        <|ps|> :) so how did you decided to start tracking?

        <yks_k> dont know really dont remember

        <|ps|> dont remember? you have to.. how did you first started
               messing with computers?

        <yks_k> there was some scream tracker 2.1????:)
                i started to play on four channels with covox soundmodule
                it was fun i didnt know anything about the scene then
                then i saw first demo it was cronologia by cascada
                i was amazed it played on my covox and it was great:)

        <|ps|> hehe what was your first demoparty?

        <yks_k> it was general probe2 i remember that very well

        <|ps|> tell us about it.. :)

        <yks_k> seing C A E R O on the bigscreen was a real shock to me
                reve, state of hate, reanimator
                i really thought it was some video things!

        <|ps|> what was the worst memory you had of general probe 2?

        <yks_k> no such thing :) but i remember hearing falcon's stories II
                during multichannel compo was the nicest the tune was later
                used in "tribes" demo

        <|ps|> what other partys did you attended from there?

        <yks_k> lot of them

        <|ps|> name some of the best then :)

        <yks_k> dont remember anything really interesting, tho
                maybe digital art, no one remembers i guess:) it was cool
                delirium gravitys

        <|ps|> what was the best one you ever attended?

        <yks_k> huh general probe2

        <|ps|> oki, you ready for quizshow contest?

        <yks_k> shoot me!:)

        <|ps|> 1. whats your favorite color?

        <yks_k> blue

        <|ps|> 2. if you died and got to come back shapped as an animal,
               which one would you want to be?

        <yks_k> a lifeform from fsol videos:)

        <|ps|> 3. what was the best book/movie you have read/seen to date?

        <yks_k> movie : "carlito's way" AND "heat"
                boook : witkacy's "narkotyki" 

        <|ps|> 4. what is the thing that difers "dead cities" from the other
               fsol albums?

        <yks_k> its the feeling of unity - the others just dont cope
                together so well. fsol is hard to judge, really
                you love it or hate it. its that simple

        <|ps|> 5. which is the most interesting place you wish to visit?

        <yks_k> i'd like to sneek into a man's brain to see in what way the
                electrons work

        <|ps|> what are your favorite demos and intros to date?

        <yks_k> mostly orange,halcyon,complex,eufrosyne,jamm and paragon
                stuff. want names?

        <|ps|> sure :)does this mean you dislike this current trend of
               3d everywhere?

        <yks_k> they all did intros and demos
                orange : x14televisionsupertelevisionmegablastmrblacksupadupa
                halcyon : karmafrommyheartintothedarkandalucia
                i love 3d, the problem is its very hard now to innovate there
                all people seem to have really close techniques so maybe one
                should stick to 2d for a change?

        <|ps|> :) changing topic, what do you do on real life?

        <yks_k> well i work at a computer store, selling everything that
                goes by:)

        <|ps|> is it well paid?

        <yks_k> considering i am a student, yes, and besides i have almost
                nothing to do :) there's an 2mbit connection and so on

        <|ps|> what are you studying?

        <yks_k> ... politics! i wanna be a kennedy! :)

        <|ps|> politics? how did you end up with that? (dont you know
               kennedys tend to die?)

        <yks_k> well, i always wanted what is going up there and since
                politics is a well known place for people who have problems
                with themselves, well...:)

        <|ps|> so do you have a picture of your girlfriend naked?

        <yks_k> no
                but yours send me some new photos lately:) har har!:)

        <|ps|> why not? dont you think your beeing selfish with that atitude?
               do you have a pet?

        <yks_k> no

        <|ps|> why not? any tragic accident with the previous one?

        <yks_k> once i had a hamster, then he told me he doesnt want to be
                with me anymore, and jumped off the roof

        <|ps|> did he splated on the ground?

        <yks_k> he was one little egoist. egoistikk just like me

        <|ps|> did he splatted on the ground or not?

        <yks_k> i think. i buried him then
                i wasnt sure if he was dead even:(
                no he didnt. he stopped just before the ground, looked up in
                my eye and said " hey franky, what's the time?"

        <|ps|> :P ok, thats enough for one interview, you wanna do some
               publicity for your homepage and say hi to some friends? :)


        <yks_k> well A LOT of people payed to get this thru
                firstly let's seee
                PS PS PS PS PS PS PS PS PS PS PS
                HUGE contribution ($$$) :)

        Session Close: Sat Oct 30 01:02:53 1999


=====! demo !==================================================================

        Frauen Pausenlos II by PMF (party-version)
        Found at www.scene.org
        2nd place at Dialogos'99

        System requirements:
        "Processor: fast, soundcard: load, memoryuse: much". Right.
        6 MB HD.

        The demo:
          For our not-German-speaking readers, the title of the demo means
        "Women non-stop". So you can guess what's the "theme" of this demo.
        "Theme" between quotation marks, because there are a few parts
        without girls, that are thus totally unconnected to the rest of the
        demo. A nice 3D-scene with a spaceship for example, that takes off
        from a spacestation and flies through a warp-gate, or the greetings,
        that are shown on an "interesting" (=weird) 3D-object, a bit like a
        blocky star. All other parts have a scantily clad girl on the
        foreground, with tunnels, a plasma combined with radial blur
        (looks great), or other effects on the background. Some of these
        like the good old water-ripple effect interact in a simple but
        effective way with the girl-pics, you can browse the DATA-subdir
        if you can't figure out how it works. Yes, all .png and other files
        are readable, and between the textures, flares and photoshopped
        girl-photos we can spot a cool hand-drawn PMF-logo and a
        Boris Vallejo-style woman in a flower. The music from Basehead is
        funky, with lots of strange synth-sounds that remind me of
        Kraftwerk. It's good, but IMO it's rather disconnected from the
        demo, not really fitting nor misplaced. [edit: maybe because it was
        ripped from a 95 musicdisk without basehead's permission..]

        Worth the download ?
          Actually the whole demo has a very loosely coupled feeling. The
        only design is "women non-stop", and the demo has nothing
        outstanding regarding code, music or GFX. From the title, the medium
        quality and the "We are blasfemous"-quote, I deduce that Jmagic,
        Fake and Basehead wanted to do a parody on the "include naked girls
        and win"-demos, but the audience didn't notice the irony and voted
        them to the second place :) Maybe not unjustified, I can't run the
        nr 3 (Hifi8032/Smash) so I can't judge. Get this if you don't object
        to girl-pics in demos.  
                                                                        Seven

        [editor: i believe seven is a little naive on this review... It is
                 obvious it wasn't jmagic who coded. Atleast not THE
                 jmagic/komplex. Music was ripped from basehead without
                 permission to be used and lots of gfx of girls dumped
                 inside.I wonder who picked up the prize money at dialogos..]

=====! intro !=================================================================

        *strike 2*

        [editor: this sounds familiar, anyone feels like doing some intro
                 reviews out there?]


=====! music !=================================================================

        Livin'in Ctra. Boecillo
        naif & wonder
        scene.org/.../nw-livin.zip
        winner of Arroutada99
        
          Probably most interesting track this week. It has very own style
        (when compared to the other tracks I've downloaded), I think it's
        most similar to quasian. The biggest difference is that it isn't 
        played on guitars. Most instruments are placed into low frequencies
        and that gives enough place to the great lead. A track I liked to
        listen. Only a bit short.
        

        Fantasm
        Scorpik
        scene.org/.../horizon/mp3/03.rar
        winner of mp3 compo at Horizon'99

          Scorpik has very unique style and he belongs between my favourite 
        musicians. In this track he starts very fast with his flute and
        a bit greece sound. He adds more and more instruments up to heavy
        drums, which make the track harder and prepare it for the upcoming
        guitars. Instrumentation changes quite a lot and the song changes
        it's mood with it. I only wonder where does he take all these ideas.
          It's not his best but if you like his music it's worth downloading.
                                                                       tryhuk
		

=====! question !==============================================================

        >what is best non 3d acc demo of the year?
        >moralhardcandy vs zilog?

        zilog
        "Markus Pasula"

        moral hard candy :)
        paulo

        moral hard candy and zilog
        esa

        The one I keep playing every night before sleep: moral hard candy
        makes your dream flat shaded
        Knos

        moralhardcandy. I like the new style of demos. zilog looks too
        much like a 1997 demo.
        bam

        any sane person would reply moralhardcandy.
        as will I.
        sagacity

        moralharcandy of course !
        Sacha

        moral hard candy/blasphemy... what else ?
        fred

        hmm.. (flips the coin) zilog.
        melwyn

        moralhardcandy. no doubt they are they style kings.
        inferno

        moralhardcandy of course is the best :)
        rez.

        disclone (yes thats 64k, the demos sucked ;))
        cp/teklords

        Zilog! Even though it's low-res, I like the effects better.
        Seven

        zilog
        tryhuk

        moralhardcandy
        kresh.elysium

        Steffo says: ZILOG!
        steffo

        Haven't seen MHC. My computer can't really put up with all these new
        fangled effects... I mean, what will they think of next, hi-res or
        (gasp) 3D effects? We all know the story of Frankenstein and we all
        know what this playing God will lead into. [ed: bahahahahah]
        jobe

        zilog
        rod.

        Haven't seen Zilog but i doubt anything can beat Moral Hard Candy
        > http://mops.uci.agh.edu.pl/~mrock should have the final
        Now I've watched Zilog but I still think that Moral Hard Candy is the
        better one.
        Malte


=====! quote !=================================================================

          check out http://www.voodooextreme.com/comments.mv?941083400
        for some quite interesting comments on sunflower/pulse opengl version
        of the demo. "They do this things for kicks? It seems some people
        have toooooo much extra time in their hands." was my favorite one :)

                    "the true spirit of c=64 parties"

                          [ the winter edition ]

                 27.12.99 - 29.12.99 bartoszyce, poland.


....o1...: w h a t ? . . .

 yeah, it's allready the fifth edition of the only polish periodical
 copy party for the c64 users. everything started in 1996, when a bunch of
 sceners from bartoszyce decided to organize a party for the polish scene.
 after getting rid of some obstacles concerning the party place, sponsors
 & so on, the first edition took place in february 1997. over one hundred
 party freaks showed up, witnessed high quality competitions, had a great
 time. the event was highly ranked in all scene magazines. the same
 happened to the next three editions, in summer 1998, winter 1999, and
 then, the summer 1999. they all were a huge success and an unforgettable
 experience for every scener involved.

 north party has become a must in a sceners' party schedule. it's even said
 to be some kind of a dishonour to miss the event. it's the  o n l y  party
 in Poland aimed at pleasing the participants, quality of the competitions
 and not the money the organizers can get (which has lately become kind of
 a shameful standard).

 you can be sure, that the prizes will be high, comparing to other polish
 parties, and even higher than the famous (yet gone commercial) The Party.
 the organizing staff will do it's best to make sure that everyone is having
 a great time. there are no security problems, no discrimination or whatso
 ever. as for the pl_scene, "the cream of the crop" will show up again.
 some old-time (or should i say - all-time) legends, and the groups that
 currently storm the tops of the charts - everyone's going to arrive at
 bartoszyce.

 and keep in mind, that north party is at the moment the cheapest party in
 Poland and  i n  t h e  w o r l d . not only the entrance fee is lower
 (and there is  n o  fee for the foreigners!), but it also includes one
 hot meal a day!...

 it's obvious, that once again the party will be a successful event. if you
 don't show up, you'll miss great fun and opportunity to compete with the
 best. what's more important (and is an advantage comparing to other parties)
 we will make sure there's no cheating with the results or anything.

 well, of course we are aware of the fact, that the date is not _that_
 suitable for everyone, but we want to assure you, that you won't regret a
 damn minute spent at the np5. you will surely have so much fun that you'll
 be willing to stay with us till the new years eve... ;)

 so - make sure you have those three spare days at the end of the year and
 come to north party 5!  if you don't appear at the party, the only person
 to blame will be... you. :D


....o2...: w h e r e ? . . .

 the party place is, as usual, "bartoszycki dom kultury" in Bartoszyce, a
 city in the northern part of Poland... here is how to get there.

 first of all, GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE ORGANIZERS, so we know how you
 want to get to the party place. preferably use any of the emails at the
 bottom... we will do our best to organise your arrival, pick you up or
 whatever!...

 -1- if you use a car...

 ...the first thing you have to do is to get to Olsztyn, which is rather easy.
 and then you basically drive in the direction of Bartoszyce (ask for way or
 look for the direction signs).

 after entering Bartoszyce you drive straight, then you pass the police sta-
 tion ('policja' in polish) on the right. after 150m you reach a cross-road:
 turn right. then you'll pass 2 turnings, about 300m and voila! the party
 place on the right! ;) ...the good thing is to take a sheet of paper with
 you and write "bartoszycki dom kultury" on it... :)

 -2- if you want to use the bus...

 ...a.
 you get to Warsaw, and then there is a direct bus to Bartoszyce
 (5 hours of travel) leaving at 12.30am and 7.45pm.

 ...b.
 you get to Gdansk (Danzig), the direct bus to Bartoszyce (4 hs)
 is leaving at 6.45am, 1.00pm, 4.35pm and 7.15pm.


....o3...: w h e n ? . . .

 the party will start at 7.00am on 27th december 1999 and last 3 days. the
 event will (most probably) conclude in the morning or in the afternoon on
 29th december 1999. there will be a place to rest and sleep over if you
 arrive at the party place one day earlier, and it will be (most probably)
 for free.


....o4...: p l a t f o r m s ? . . .

 the one and only demomachine ever made, the 64kB/1mHz ultimate 8bit toy!

   entries :), it will be performed.

   nickname and/or group and the compo type.

 - if you bring your machine, you'll get a table and the power will be

   having some noisy fun etc. ;)

....o8...: w h a t ' s   a l l o w e d   a n d   w h a t 's   n o t ? . . .

 ok. this is a party and we all want to have fun. but sometimes you should
 probably behave just a little bit like a civilised human being :)
 that means f.e. destroying the equipment is strictly forbidden...
 you can drink as much as you want, as long it's not too much for you.
 other condiments... well. we're not monks, are we? (bring your weed) ;)

 the organising stuff also asks you  k i n d l y  to :
 . show up at the party :)
 . show up at the party with your 64
 . spread this invitation file and/or the official c64 invitro
 . and finally... show up at the party :)

 if you know that you'll appear at the party, e-mail us!... we'll give you
 any further details and keep you up to date if anything changes.

 all of you hesitating foreigners... this is the cheapest and the best deal
 you can get!....

 C O M E   T O   T H I S   P A R T Y ! ...you surely won't regret it, because
 satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back!... :)
