Satori :: Koiban

Author: Aasemoon

13 Aug

Time for another ASM2010 favourite! =) I was previously informed that Satori was going to have a new demo for ASM, and I was waiting in anticipation to see it. When finally the demo showed up on the ASM TV stream, me and a bunch of friend, as expected, went “Whooohooohooow…. haaaaaaa….. aaaaaaaa…. woooooooo …. wooooohooooooooowwwwww …. hoooooo ….. waaaaaaaaa….” =D

I’m not going to say anything more. In fact I can’t, even if I want to. It’s completely impossible to describe something like this in words. So if you haven’t had a chance to see this super fantastic awesome demo yet, here it is. Check it out! =)

Happiness is Around the Bend

Author: Aasemoon

8 Aug

Oh yes, it certainly is! =)

It’s been yet another silent period due to my extreme lack of time, and what better reason to break this silence than to… well, LETS TALK ASD! =D The new ASD demo by the name “Happiness is Around the Bend” was released yesterday at the Assembly 2010 demo party. And early this morning I got the happy news that the demo has in fact won 1st place! =D YAAAAAAAAAAY!

I’ve been experiencing a bit of a mental struggle over which one of the ASD demos is my favourite, and it’s a tie between Life Force and Happiness. I finally decided to leave it at that. It’s just a tie. I can’t like either one of the 2 more than the other, and that’s just the way it’s going to be. =D Where Life Force made my heart explode out of my chest and brought tears to my eyes, Happiness made me jump around and throw my fists in the air. On one hand I think the 2 demos are too different to be able to make a comparison, on the other hand they’re too connected to make a comparison! It’s like they’re the 2 sides of the same coin… So, watch the new demo and decide for yourself. Winking smile

Oh, and… ehmmm…. well…. I just have got to say this since Soren mentioned something to me… [fair warning: brash opinionated remark following], in case you’ve been reading Pouet threads… don’t let certain comments about the music bias your opinion. aMUSiC and Leviathan have done an otherworldly beautiful job with the music. Big Kudos to them both. <3 <3 =)

Of course there were a few more demos in ASM this year that really took my breath away. I will post about them next…..

Music @ Breakpoint 2010

Author: Aasemoon

8 Apr

Is it just me, or was the general quality of the music released at Breakpoint this year way above average? The streaming music compo included a great deal of awesome tracks, and many of the demos released in all categories featured superb soundtracks. So for someone with a serious case of [good] music addiction such as yours truly, this was a good chance to fuel up. =)

Here I’m just going to mention a few of my favourites, but really, I think you should just check out everything that was released. 😉

When the streaming music compo finished, my first thought was – “so much great music, how can anyone win this?”. Well, apparently someone did, and well deserved too: Check out Disrupt, fantastic DnB track by Puryx, the Danish demoscene/electronic musician. This guy produces a lot of great music, some of which is currently available on his Last.fm page.

Petarda by Chaser/Elude, and Sooner or Later by Little Birchard are also tracks that you should definitely check out. The entire collection of music released at Breakpoint 2010 can be downloaded from here.

As mentioned in my previous post, Vokawardoai by satori has a pretty awesome soundtrack… yeah I think I’ve gone on enough about that already. 😉 Then of course there’s Agenda Circling Forth by Fairlight & CNCD. Beautiful soundtrack, to go with the marvellous visuals.

In the 4K intro category, Retrospection by FRequency & Trolls In The Shadows is certainly one of the prettiest 4Kz that I’ve ever seen, with a really cool and upbeat soundtrack. I liked the soundtrack so much that I requested for a separate music file, and the guys in charge were kind enough to provide it. The soundtrack can be downloaded here, and below is the video.

ASD – Rupture Wins Scene.org Awards!

Author: Aasemoon

6 Apr

On other fantastic news from the past few days [and there really is so much to say!], ASD’s Rupture won Scene.org awards in 3 categories: best demo, best direction and of course public choice. =) Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! =D

The awards ceremony was held on the 2nd day of Breakpoint 2010. This makes me wonder, since Breakpoint is going away, where is the scene.org awards ceremony going to be held from now on? Hmmm! Anyhow, I give you Rupture [as usual, I suggest you see the actual demo instead of the video]:

Breakpoint 2010 :: SATORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! =D

Author: Aasemoon

6 Apr

Oh my God…. I know I’m about to sound like a bloody fan girl, but honestly I could care even less. =)) I’m usually pretty excited + energetic + happy + LOUD about the things that I’m truly enthusiastic about, and that’s just the way it is. And I like it this way, as it brings me success… anyway….

I luuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Satori’s demos. So much that I actually check their Pouet page every month or so just to see if they have anything new, even though they hadn’t released anything since 2007. They were one of the very first groups I came to know, and they’re among my top 3 favourite demo groups of all time, and I have a LOT of favourites so… you get the picture. =)

I was beginning to lose hope of seeing new demos from Satori since they hadn’t released anything in such a long while. And that would have been such a shame. So you can imagine the depth of my WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW when I saw their name pop up on my screen today, as I was watching the demo compo on Breakpoint TV. =) And oh wow, they SO did not disappoint! The demo is a true artistic masterpiece.

What’s interesting is that the Satori demos are like NO other demos. What I mean is, many of the really nice demos that I have seen, have certain elements in common. I’m not saying they look in any way the same, but they have some very basic similarities in their effects, design and direction. But Satori’s demos never have anything in common with anything else out there. They stand out completely, and the totally rule. Same was the case with their BP release. And hey, this one happens to be even better than their own previous demos. All I can say now is that I hope they don’t stop…..

Below is the video recording of the demo. But I suggest you download the actual demo to enjoy the full experience of it.

Demovibes 9

Author: Aasemoon

3 Oct

Great news for all the fans of the Demovibes compilations including myself: Demovibes 9 was released yesterday, and the CUE file and PDF cover are also available as of today. As usual, it’s an awesome collection, and I’m currently having fun listening to it. I already uploaded the album to Melange, and you can either find the tracks on the Demovibes playlist, or the Demovibes 9 album.

To download the compilation go here, or go here to see the entire list of the Demovibes compilations.

Melange / Verse – Updates

Author: Aasemoon

21 Sep

I just uploaded a load of new music to Melange, which you can find under the 2 new playlists: Intromission and Retrovibes. As you can probably guess, it’s all Demoscene music. =) Enjoy!

I also added a few new features to Verse, including a number of new ways of uploading multiple files to the wiki, an automatic image gallery that retrieves all the images inside a category and creates a thumbnail gallery of them, and a calendar extension. Make sure to check’em out! 😉
