Well well, let’s see what we’ve got here….well here we’ve got me, who’s been sitting here on this couch watching “Lifeforce” on my notebook over and over and over again for so many times I’ve lost count by now, and trying really hard to figure out what I’m gonna write here about the demo and still not knowing what. I mean what can I possibly say about this demo that would really describe either the demo or how I feel about it? aMUSiC just told me that ASD has been working on this demo for 6 months… what can I write in a few lines to be a fair comment about something so beautiful that has taken so much hard work? For the first 30 minutes all that came to my mind was “Oh My God” and even now it’s mostly that. ASD’s new Assembly winner masterpiece causes quite the movement in one’s mind. I’d been told that I was about to have a new favorite ASD demo and that’s totally the case! =) The visuals bring you this beautiful mix of amazement and astonishment, way to go Navis, AMV and Archmage. And the music… well … what else can you expect from aMUSiC and Leviathan? It’s a fascinating soundtrack which is completely perfect for the demo. There really isn’t much more that I can say… you have to carefully watch this demo, it speaks for itself and it has a lot to say actually. Do make sure to read the “read me” info as well for some extra hints. Thanks again ASD! =)
OK ladies and gentlemen, the Intel demo competition has officially started! I was just having a look at all the demos that are competing this time and I have to say a big good job to all the groups. They were all quite nice. As for the ASD demo, “Beyond The Walls Of Eryx“, well…. I was surprised, and not! I wasn’t surprised that the demo rulez… after all it’s ASD, what else would one expect? But the demo was so original and so awesome that it actually did manage to drop my jaw all the way to the floor! So, BIG kudos to the ASD demo from both me and Genox! The demo has great visuals, great concept and great music. Another BIG kudos to aMUSiC for the super soundtrack. So if you haven’t already, make sure you see the demo now. You can also download the demo from the same Intel page. Enjoy! =)
ATTENTION ATTENTION: Important news everyone! =D I was just checking my shoutbox, which is finally bug free thanks to Genox, and I found this message from aMUSiC of ASD:
“Hear ye, Hear ye! http://www.intel-demoscene.de/ (there is a button on the bottom to switch to english. 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds, and no DJ Hell this time.”
Wellllll I guess we all know what that means. =) Another Intel demo competition, a new ASD demo to come soon, and this time with original aMUSiC tune. I was just having a look at the list of this time’s competitors and I had my eyes going like => Oo since the teams are all my favorites! So for me this means candy shop on July 2nd. WEEEEEEE! =D Here’s who they are:
ASD
Fairlight
Still
Synesthetics
XPLSV
You can have a look at the Intel page for a little memory refreshment, these are all teams that we actually have watched their demos on the big screen pretty often. =) I have to mention here, there’s a certain other team that I really wish to see more activity from. You know who you are. But just in case you don’t, well you’re Vantage. Move IT guys!
I also have a message from Optimus reminding me of the yet to be used CDCz that I have on pouet. Well, I guess I’m waiting for the Intel demo competition! 😉 And on a little side note: Yup my blog has a new home now. Please change your bookmarks and links to blog.aasemoon.com, thank you. =) Of course it’s not a problem to keep the old one, cause you’d still be forwarded to the right address.
Yesterday evening, Genox released his new EP by the name “Slowly Fading Colors“. The EP includes 5 new tracks:
Aquarius
Proto Z
Trafficlights
Dling Dling
Resurrected Piano
Having listened to these 5 tracks over and over and over again, I believe I can say that this EP is quite a step forward for this artist, and a truly enjoyable one to listen to. The EP includes some nice surprises for the old fans, and also has a lot to offer to a wider range of new listeners. The 5 tracks are an amazing display of the artist’s ability to smoothly flow through different genres and mix elements from different styles to create something very new, and yet containing the familiar Genox atmosphere. A very special collection of colors, which in turn brings me to the title of the EP.
With all due respect to the artist’s truly interesting reasoning for choosing the title “Slowly Fading Colors”, I can’t help mentioning that the EP brings an image of a “Box of Crayons” to my mind a lot more than fading colors. To elaborate, I basically see the EP as a collection of colors, placed side by side in a so well selected order, that causes each color to stand out in their own turn.
All that being said, I believe it’s time for you to listen to the EP, and develop your own opinion! =) So, check out Genox’s blog post to download the EP.
Update: Just in case you can’t load Genox’s blog, you can download the EP directly from here.

Ok I’m in such a hurry to post this log, and I’m so bloody excited right now, that I don’t even know where to being. Ummm, ok, there’s a 30 second demo competition held by Intel, and 5 of the best demo-groups out there have been invited for the challenge. One of these groups is of course our beloved ASD. Voting for the demos is done through this website, so guys and gals, GO FOR IT, ASD RUUUUUUUUUUUULEZ! 🙂 I also have to add that I sincerely wish all the best for ASD, because their demo honestly blew my mind.
