8 months later...
Yep..! It's certainly been a while. I still exist - just not often in this blog thing. I still touch base to see what other ppl are doing from time to time (hello!) but generally caught up in that evil social site (beginning with F and B!) plus extremely busy with various film/tv work that just havn't thought to post here!!
BUT! Update; for demoscene & chip circles... certainly positive ones. For starters, I'm back bigtime making MOD based music in Protracker on the Amiga 500 & 1200. I bought a Pioneer DJM500 today and am working with a fellow Amiga demoscener in building a live performance tool for using 2 x Amigas to perform live electro / house. I'm basically using CH 1 & 2 for one Amiga and 3 & 4 for the other and running seperate DBX compressors before I hit the mixer for each deck (4 in total) and the running the analogue sum into a multiband, EQ & peak limitor rack to keep everything chunky. Timing wise we are probably using our own protocol over RS232 to sync Amiga's at this point. Still not sure on how to jam sync refresh rates. I've already created enough material for a whole live set and I can tell you now that it's chunky and oldskool. And heap of fun ;-]
Check out a preview of one of the tunes I'll be playing live at:

I'm also now on 8-bit collective with my SID and vrc6 based tunes. Uploading the archive a bit at a time (excuse the pun) to keep a steady flow of tunes.

Other than that, Syntax 08 will be happening in Nov, so just working on a tune and entry for that. Amiga AGA demo is lookin good (which I'm doing with DA) and another ECS/OCS demo I'm doing with SPCrew that's looking very crap at the moment - in fact I don't think it will be finished. I may be working again with e64 on a 4kb PC demo of minimal nature (much like last year) using the same hack soft-synth as last time which I totally dig still. I think i've been given a 1kb limit for the tune (after exe packing) so wish me luck.

Anyhow-de. Better get back to it. Sleep more than anything as (alas!) my real life = shooting a TVC in the morning involving food and long lenses in HD - which is a scary combination. Shooting bit is fine, just the morning bit I'd rather avoid! Wouldn;t we all? Hope everyone else out there in demo / music land is well & active.
(jeepers - I survived another massive typing session on the eeePC... seriously, these things are way too small for sanity!)
