"demo scene"

Is it what "MTV" would look like in a meritocracy? Is it
runaway male competition for females like Birds of Paradise?
Is it living memetic life forms using human brains as a
handy replication mechanism? Is it astroturfed by
corporations so they can head hunt free talent then
monopolize it?

Anyway, I never heard of it before (I looked up impulse
tracker file specs and the creator of that mentioned it in
some blog). I think things like this, and autechre LP5 etc
were created back when the future seemed amazing and
omni-everything, before it was realized that the singularity
was just going to be a final irreversible tyranny for all
but a select few.

demo scene stuff is exctreme,y technically impressive, most
of the best stuff seems to be from Scandinavia countries, i
always assumed they got so good at it because its dark for
half the year and its so cold you really dont want to go out
much

eastern bloc too, amazing considering how much equipment and
time must have cost, suppose it shows when you only have a
little you make the most out of it

MΩLTed with ffmpeg and Melt/MLT and all sorts of
odd shit. writing a ruby script that accepted markers
generated by audacity's beatfinding function and then
spammed text to that time grid from a pool of posts by a guy
with a broken laptop keyboard (the guy in the video [it's
not me {it's not peter molyneux, either}]).

not quite demoscene. but i went @/it with lat sort of
attitude

the story:
dwayne drops a mixtape for jesus in the mailbox and it winds
up on the doorstep of rick stryker's garden apartment. rick
sends off the tape to satellite records where pone mahone
spends his 9 to 5. he attaches a note. it reads, "pone,
you're leaving new york." upon receiving the tape, pone
sends a c64 cassette with an encoded message to cougar
shuttle. "taking the data bus to detroit," it says. "meet me
at belle isle." as planned, mahone and cougar meet up at
belle isle, where they find delario sleeping. after a quick
huff, the three leave detroit and take off toward beige
records hq in st. louis, picking up stryker at arcade
bowling lanes on the way out of town. just as the st. louis
arch comes in view of their 1974 datsun 240z, they notice a
billboard silhouetted against the horizon. the billboard
clearly states, in boldface black letters, "it's time."

the record:
currently receiving play from an impressive array of
tastemakers including matthew herbert, mixmaster mike,
bodenstandig 2000, dj godfather, and luke vibert, The 8-Bit
Construction Set seems poised to redefine the very limits of
what one can put on a slab of wax. half dj battle
record/half concept album, The 8-Bit Construction Set record
is also the first ever use of the vinyl recording medium for
software distribution - the inside tracks are audio data
which can be dubbed to cassette tape and booted in your
respective atari or commodore 8-bit computers (guinness
world record for first-ever vinyl-to-software programming is
currently pending). and, as if you still had doubts about
these artists' chops, you should know that this record was
entirely programmed in 6502 assembly language. beat that.
-- from BEG-004 press release


8-bit construction set

dollars is always worth a replay.

I've collected links to the best ones I've seen (from
youtube recommended videos) so far in my opinion.

This hypnoise one blew me away. It seems alien genius level
to be able to program it. It's one of the few things that
matches Otto Von Schirach's Lunatic Nitrates in terms of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNFDu_Yuzlo&index=10&list=P
wizardly WTFery ( lunatic nitrates: LFC389304E8439EB6 ).
It's maybe not appealing to the masses but my brain
resonates with it. I like things that elude me in how to
make them maybe. And I like complicated symmetry, so
everything is "similar but slightly different", that's sort
of the main art rule perhaps. I mean my dippy python
programs could NEVER make it. Hopeless.

I suspect a wider sample of the population would agree that
this is excellent because it's more peaceful and less
mindfucky, it's very autechre:

But then I watched a documentary about the group Quite that
made the above:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuoRpEMfEHY
and... I don't know, you're expecting the curtain to reveal
the wizard of oz but they're like script kiddies? They're
like, yeah we just push one button to make it sort of. There
has to be mega, mega genius behind this somewhere, someone
programmed something amazingly inuman somewhere along the
line. Said they used a program called vvvv. They sure don't
seem like the type of genius to do it all in freakin
assembly/machine code, they use really high level software I
guess, and even high level 'crinkler' or whatever to pack it
to 4k.
