Hey, how come no one has been uploading those BIZARRE '94 party demos,
|
|
intros and stuff?
|
|
|
|
We are back up over 100 megs again (of free space) with nothing missing
|
|
in the /demos directory.
|
|
|
|
The ANSI directory is growing by leaps and BOUNDS. Soon (month or two)
|
|
we WILL have to delete some of the older stuff. I searched ARCHIE for
|
|
an ANSI ftp site but could not find any. Does anyone know if there is
|
|
such a site?
|
|
|
|
The TOP25DL may not work properly this week--it used the previous weeks
|
|
ftp.syslog to compute the stats and will probably do the same this week.
|
|
As soon as I "find" where the ftp.syslog files are kept I will correct the
|
|
mistake.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know if there is going to be a big TCC party this year in
|
|
Sweden? I recall rumors/postings of it being canceled and have not seen
|
|
any intro as of late. Please send info my way and I will let everyone
|
|
else know what is going on.

Hi there,
|
|
|
|
I am like many people who follow the demo scene. I always like to get new
|
|
demos, music etc., but often dont have the time to continually wade through
|
|
newsgroups and ftp sites in an attempt to find new items.
|
|
|
|
In comes demuan - The Demo and Music Announce Mailing List. I hope for this
|
|
to become a list where new releases of the following items are posted:
|
|
|
|
- Demos
|
|
- Demo Results
|
|
- Party Details
|
|
- Soundcards
|
|
- Music Players
|
|
- Music Disks
|
|
- Other information deemed suitable by the moderator (aka me :))
|
|
|
|
Think of it, if you like, as a comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos.announce and
|
|
comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.announce rolled into one.
|
|
|
|
I do *not* want it to become a list that floods your mailbox with chat, or
|
|
irrelevant information, but a place where demo groups and music player
|
|
coders can post new release details. For this reason, I do not want new mods
|
|
to be posted to this list, unless they are subject to a demo party,
|
|
but music-disks are welcome to be posted.
|
|
|
|
* HOW TO SUBSCRIBE *
|
|
Simple. Send mail to "listserver@oliver.sun.ac.za" with a message body of
|
|
"subscribe demuan-list Your Name", Your Name being you *name* not email
|
|
address. For example, mine would be 'Kim Davies'. You will receive a
|
|
confirmation or error message after this procedure.
|
|
|
|
* HOW TO POST *
|
|
To send an announcement to the list, post to "demuan-list@oliver.sun.ac.za"
|
|
with your announcement. Alternately, if that fails, post to
|
|
"kimba@it.com.au". The announcement will be posted ASAP to the list if it
|
|
fills the criteria.
|
|
|
|
I am hoping the mailing list to become immensely popular so subscribe :-)
|
|
Please note, this is *NOT* a binaries list, ftp sites will be given on most
|
|
cases when applicable as to where to obtain the release.
|
|
|
|
Happy Demoing, Coding, Music Playing etc.,
|

MUSIC CONTEST ][
|
|
****************
|
|
|
|
Music Contest ][. Its here, and its alive! If you haven't
|
|
already seen it on your local BBS or FTP, be sure and pick up a copy
|
|
of MC2RULES.ZIP.
|
|
Music Contest ][ is an international contest putting many songs in
|
|
direct competition. The concept is simple: the song that gets the
|
|
highest votes wins. The contest is divided into two classes, VETERAN
|
|
and ROOKIE, so that both experienced and beginning computer musician
|
|
alike can compete. There is public voting so that the final results of
|
|
the contest will reflect the opinions of the individual musician. The
|
|
voting system itself is very complex in order to prevent any cheating
|
|
that might occur. All final totals will be checked and verified by
|
|
several people to insure that they are correct. The best prize that can
|
|
be offered is the pride you feel in doing well in the contest. However,
|
|
for those of you who would like something a little more, there will be
|
|
prizes such as a sample library, books on music theory, and trophies,
|
|
all of which will be conveniently shipped right to your home. In
|
|
addition, several of the best songs will be put onto audio CD and sold
|
|
for about $10 each. The theme of this contest is "efficiency." Despite
|
|
its complexity, Music Contest II has been streamlined to provide you the
|
|
best contest possible. Friendly competition seems to bring out the best
|
|
in everyone, and it is my personal hope that you have a lot of fun in
|
|
this contest.
|
|
MC2RULES.ZIP is the actual heart of Music Contest ][. In this zip
|
|
file, you will find everything you need to get you started on composing
|
|
your entry to the contest, and also the rules on how to become a MC][
|
|
voter. This archive also contains a song by yours truly that is an
|
|
example of how entries should be named, formatted, etc.
|
|
Both Amiga and PC platforms are encouraged to enter. However,
|
|
there will be some restrictions on Amiga voters since they can't run the
|
|
voting software. Despite this fact, I believe that there is enough
|
|
incentive to make Amiga entries plentiful.
|
|
In summary, this contest promises to shape the computer music
|
|
scene, at least in some part, and I hope that you all decide to become a
|
|
part of the experience.

[The CD ROM project Snowman mentions is a little bigger then just AUDIO

music. That SAME CD will also consist of DEMOS and MC][ related files.

Hello there, it is Mike here again (and several notes :))
|
|
|
|
* BATOBA (Back to Basic) - there are several mod-files (8chn), but I didn't
|
|
notice *any* music during the demo. Does anybody know how to activate it?
|
|
I didn't find ANY player in unpacked files.
|
|
Btw: Did you see the file batoba.017 - it's a windows executable (NE - new
|
|
exe file format), but it doesn't run under Windows 3.1). A little
|
|
question to authors: what does this file do? (or is it simply a data
|
|
file :)))
|
|
* JUKEBOX (old music disk) - approx a year ago my friend noticed a hidden
|
|
file in this music-disk (there is a note about this written in my
|
|
calculator since ages, but there has been no free time to write about it
|
|
yet :))
|
|
-> so, here it is: at offset 630903 in jukebox.exe, there is a uuencoded
|
|
message, so if you know what I'm talking about - decode and read it :))

This newsletter reaches 100+ people on a good day--when lots of mail
|
|
does not bounce and this site is running. Usually this means SUNDAY
|
|
at 12:30am - 2:00am (we have time delays between each letter). Of course,
|
|
this Sunday the story was different because of a minor problem which
|
|
has now been resolved.
