Well this took me some time with my VIC-20. I believe I was 10 when I got my first computer (1984). I can't remember the name of the black box. It had one cartridge with games on it. I have never understood why this was a cartridge since there was only one on the market. With the introduction of the Philips Videopac-2000 I had my first computer with a keyboard. Then started the all well known Commodore epic. - that black box I told you about - ATARI 2600 * - Philips Videopac 2000 - CBM-16 - VIC-20 - CBM-64 * - CBM-128 - Amiga 500 - Amiga 2000 * - Compaq 486SX/33 * - A lot of PC clone systems here.... * - Intellect P150-PRO * - SGI Indy R4600 * The machines with an asterix are still alive. The rest is lost in time. Some sacrifices had to be made to spare the lives of the others. Since I am now running an Internet Service Provider company the intentions for which the computers are mainly used have changed. This also explains the existing of the Silicon workhorses. The only machines I have now up and running are my Silicon Graphics production servers (4 Upgraded Indy Workstations), a couple of Intel Pentium servers for running Linux and that other shit from Redmond. Finally some of my former trusty 486 workhorses are doing the work of being a firewall, dhcp server and that kind of low performance stuff. And probably most important. I have an fast Intel machine running Linux for engaging audits and other security related matters. Well, I am still doing it all. Why would you choose? Only for the graphics part of projects I now hire people to do it. Protracker, Amiga Fasttracker, Intel PC Quebase, ATARI/Macintosh Protools/DigiDesign, Macintosh Will you ever? I hope not.... The tunes that I have lost over the time. It helpes to recreate/set the ambience. It helpes/disturbs the concentration. And it slows the loading time ;-) Only for (semi-)professional purposes in professional studios. But still very actively. Well the different formats you propose are just good for the distribution of it all. Nothing spectaculair to that. About the content (the muzak itself) I have to say this: Since past years a lot of more music is being produced and distributed by a lot of different mostly unknown and new musicians to the market. This makes the assumption that there is much more garbage out there than before justifiable. Also this state inherently that there should be much more quality or innovative soundtracks out there then before. Only the gross suplly makes it much more difficult to spot those. There are just to much. I still like those good old 4MAT tunes. Also some of the Maniacs of Noise and Rob Hubbard tunes are timeless. And these are just some of the old composers of 'computer' music. Nope. We're planning to launch a audio-database on the Internet this year from which people will be able to download and listen all our productions from the studios in MPEG-Layer-3. The format is simple as ever. It's free for private non-commercial use (since we can't stop the copying anyway, and don't have any expectations that somebody will or should for that matter). Still note that this will be a different licensing structure opposed to say Public Domain! All other profitable (mainly commercial) users should license the music with our label. So if you have a CD-R you can toast your own! Or afcourse for the lazy, it will be for sale in the shops.... Maybe some of the old 'protracker-all-time-favorites' like 'the beaver' or 'the insects' will be re-engineered into new studio-production but this is still not for sure, since we are not the kind of people to look back. I still have to put in a new CD ('Forbidden Paradise 8 - Mystic Swamp'), so currently nothing.... Not much sleep and for sure a couple of hangovers...... I am active in a lot of different scene's, but now more on a professional level. Were I did everything in the past just for fun and free, we now consult the big guys and build stuff they can't for intentionally accumulating some extra gross profit. The scene now consists of TV-production companies, music studios and record labels and other multimedia oriented companies. If the people out there indeed are awaiting a re-release of some of the old productions in studio quality, I would appreciate to hear about that, and specifically which tracks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2001 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
