Annnnd still going.
Hello all. So what's mew? Well - I've still been "chipping away" at it so to speak... in a combination of music and demo stuffs. I don't think I've posted since I played the Amiga gig in Germany (at Evoke demoparty) but it was much fun and more to the point I just met the best people in the world. Fins, Germans, Hungarians, crazy Polish dudes (don't they always manage to get that honor?!), UK sceners - the list goes on (not to leave out any countries!) but everyone was very friendly and scene spirited. :-) We released this demo for which I wrote the tune and added a little direction to (live cap from party)
If you have a PC, you can of course download the ACTUAL demo which is much more hifi than the party cap: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=53583
Also completed a demo for SYNTAX DEMOPARTY 2009 (as advertised in our demo above!) for the Amiga A500 for the oldskool category. This was on top of organizing Syntax (with help) but I had to rush the demo though at the last minute. I also had some problems reopening the source in RSIDM at the last minute and couldn't add the greets. I had created some test greets the night before just in case it died on the day - and it did so that explains the stupid titles near the end. I dig the pumkin 3D effect in this. What started off as me being "lazy" actually turned into an artistic style which worked quite efficiently frame rate wise and looks nice and screwed up ;-) I also got the tune down to 97kb BEFORE crunching. Was pretty happy with that given that the guitar samples are still just about listen-able to! Video capture is at:
Finally, I've been doing a lot on the chiptune front. Played some fun gigs of late plus did a live to air on a local radio station - much fun. Haven't had much time with my friend the C64, but have been banging out a ton of material for the Gameboy DMG. I just find it a cute little unit to be able to pull out of my pocket in random places and late at night. You can find a few tunes at:

Probably the one people are noticing the most, but click around, because the other tracks are probably better at the end of the day. Oh, and I'm going to blip fest in NYC. Fun times!
Anyway - gotta fly!
Back to reality...
