Who, where, when? / Re: Greetings from Wally (Spain)
« on: May 20, 2013, 11:49:44 »
And thanks for the uploaded musics (I figured it was you ;) )
To be honest, I don't remember now if I ever uploaded some of my mods to Modland or AMP  :-\

I really feel honored by your interest :P

1. In your presentation entry in AMP forum, you explain being one of the founder of TLOTB. How did this happen ? Can you tell us more about how it came to be ?
Memories faint, but I will try to remember. At the very first (and this is not common knowledge), TLOTB was a little local crack group led by BladeRunner. In the beginning of 1994, we met each other while role playing with common friends and found we both were interested in demoscene. I already was playing with trackers and had some modules of my own, so BladeRunner asked me to join and we used FC's MusicDiscPlayer to release my modules as the first TLOTB demo-related release.

2. And then we know of Inside, however, I've found no production. Was something released by this group ?
Inside was formed at Euskal Party 6, IIRC. At that time there were several music groups like Five Musicians, Tokyo Dawn Records... Some friends (Awesome, Evelred, Naif, Noisy Man, Smash!, Sergio DJ, Wally, Wonder) gathered at the party and thought... why not a Spanish music group? There were some Inside music releases at first and a forever planned music disk which never was  :). People slowly lost interest in the group and became one of the most unproductive in the scene. A common joke when we met was asking each other about the next Inside release  ;D.

3. Music wise, there seem to be a wide variety of genre. Plain melodious, like "Sad and Unavoidable", noise-ish, like "Princesa Sinfarosa Mix", demo-ish like "I better quit" or even chip-ish like "Trikanoid". Is there any you feel more confortable with ? The real question may be : do you compose with a purpose in mind or adapt afterwards for a given project ?
I've never considered myself a real musician and I can't even describe how my creative process was. I was actually interested in the limitations of the module format, and that interest got lost when mp3 started to be common place. In my case, I composed some tunes with no other purpose in mind but to track something that 'sounded good' in my head (e.g. 'I better quit') while I created others with specific characteristics for a project (e.g. 'Trikanoid')

4. can you tell us the real title of FST.APOCALYP (coming from Apocalipsys demo by TLOTB) ?
Well, the real name of the demo is 'Apocalypse' (pouët got it wrong  :P) and I guess that was the name of the tune.

5. MOD.Destination, your first music (or so you commented in the Wally's Musicdisk vol 1). How do you feel today about your first tracking experience ?
Ashamed  :-[ and nostalgic   :). It is a cover of Megabeat, an ancient Spanish techno group (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1hlxfQ6by8) and that's why I'm credited as 'adapter'. I really needed to channel my teenager creativity and tracking was a great experience which I enjoyed. I look back now and I am happy I didn't try to do it for a living :P.

5bis. Was there ever a Vol 2 of this musicdisk ?
Maybe it was considered at first, but never seriously by me later.

The Wally modules came about as I had all modules by Wally grouped together, not realising there were 3 different Wally's.
I even met a fourth one from Italy at Wired'96 ;D. Not really a musician, but he probably presented this Dustbin module at Mekka'97 (http://amp.dascene.net/analyzer2.php?idx=18455)

Now sorted and the 5 uploaded AMP didn't have.  ;)
Thanks for uploading the one from 'Sheer Heart Attack' demo. A really unique coop by DEM and Evelred, two of the best Spanish trackers of all time!

It seems there existed a music group called '303%Dimension' (with the percentage sign). Possibly the same group referenced in Wayfinder's profile and maybe the same '3o3%Dim' referenced in the .xm

Musician database / Mefis / Funk!
« on: May 13, 2013, 12:29:38 »
I just found what seems Mefis' complete name in a Funk! info file
mefis            - karsten pasternack -  organising, musician

http://pouet.net/nfo.php?which=9281&f=none

However, I think the correct spelling is 'Carsten' according to another info file signed by himself
contact me:
mefis@berlin.snafu.de  or
carsten pasternack

http://cd.textfiles.com/scene96-2/music/funk/luv4evil/mfs-luv4.txt

'Mefithian' (which is in the database) seems to be an ex-handle too
³  Mefis   a.k.a  Mefithian  ³
³  .oOo.   of FUNK!   .oOo.  ³

According to the results, Stinger entered the compo with an xm called Dreams, but not available for download from the party so I cannot say if this is in fact the file from the party to confirm.

I don't have Mods Anthology at hand, but I've found it contains all modules from the W95 music compos.

Hello everybody,

I've been an AMP user during last years and decided to register to be able to contribute a little to the site.

I did some modules on PC back from 1995 to 2005, which I think they are almost all in the database already and I was one of the founders of TLOTB group.

Throughout the years I used plenty of different trackers, ranging from WhackerTracker or ScreamTracker 2 to the more recent Skale Tracker, but my releases were mainly tracked in ST3 and FT2 (never really an IT fan).

I just wanted to thank the AMP staff for creating and keeping this project alive.
