Lazerbeat mentioned he wants to comment, write "some words", so I don't think he needs any technical insight into the activity to do so, rather than just express whatever he feels about it, if anything at all!

Re: Writing reviews about visuals in Chip shows. (11 replies, posted in Motion Graphics)
There shouldn't be a practice in critique, there should be the view of a spectator put into words, honestly. It's that simple. I showed a review from someone who is not a visualist nor a musician and made a review of all these aspects, and you know what? It's better because it's not tinted by the bad habits and bias of those who are immersed in the activity.
Also, are all spectators of a show, knowledgeable in the arts they are seeing? Does that make their view on the matter any less valid? Can they have difficulty in writing so?
My advice is to just write whatever comes to your mind as a spectator. If you don't have anything to say about them, it's for a good reason. Don't wporry about your wording, the only ones bound to get angry are the pedantic twats

I think it's a bit pedantic to say that you "need to know about visuals to write about them". That's a load of poppycock. So only musicians are allowed to make comments about music??
I posted an excellent example of a spectator reviewing The C-Men's visuals. Reviews after all need to be either objective or tinted with feelings and, as a spectator, you should be able to come up with something.

If you can't come up with any words, probably the screens didn't grab your attention enough for you to say something about them (putting the whole 'they are integral' part to question, at least from your perspective).
From all the Blip shows in 2009, The Hunters and Condom were definitely the most visually engaging from what I've seen. Can you come up with something about those two? Also anything by the C-Men is instantaneously absorbed by me (I love the text shit he throws out, like BIG FUCKING DEAL)
I leave you a review about visuals which makes a lot of sense:

"The C-Men’s doodles: Every musical performance at Blip is paired with a spectacular customized projection designed by animators and visual artists, often abstract or geometric or pixelated video game sprites, but the C-Men stole the show with their stylized iconography (during glomag’s set) and their deranged comics (for Rainbow Dragoneyes). It’s hard to pluck a favorite moment of audio from the festival’s performances, but images? No question—cartoon sperm cell wearing a military helmet, by a mile."

Netbooks are not allowed unless for "slave" purposes. See if you can get away with it.
It would be good if you can make a report about the party for TCTD. What do you think?

Voting will only lead to the most voted to be selected, not the best tracks.
The only way to get a "best of" is to have someone or a group of people selecting it.

Re: ATARI caption (8 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)
What you said makes no sense.
You can make music on any Atari platform if you so wish so.
Just because there are no TRACKERS or MUSIC SOFTWARE for them doesn't mean you CAN"T make music on them.
