matt.nida -- great to meet you last night. Change your flight so you can come to the Pianos afternoon rager today!

Damn, would love to have done - flight ended up being delayed, but didn't find out until before I got to the airport. Gaaahhhh!

Bloody hell that was excellent. Ctrix is a one man lo-bit RAVE MACHINE, and all the other artists were great too!

Great to meet some of you guys as well.

Thanks Chromix. I'll def be popping along later, look forward to meeting some of
you guys later (I will be wearing a nerdy red "off world colonies" Blade Runner tshirt).

I'm flying back to London the next day, but I think I might actually be able
to make it to this. Can anyone explain to this New York n00b how the metro
system works: will I be able to get a train back to 28th St at 4am or is there a last train like on the London Underground?

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Pulsewave last night, especially OK Ikumi and Forest World doing amazingly creative things with NL2.3. Really enjoyed playing the open mic as well! Who
were the other guys, there was some great stuff in there.

Also really nice to meet Glomag, Esopus Dragon and to say hello to Minusbaby again. Cheers guys!

Wow, thank you so much for all the recommendations guys - a lot of stuff to start sifting through there. Only dipped into the Monotonik catalogue previously but was having a look just now and there's clearly a whole wealth of stuff I'd bloody love.

Thanks for the tip re. Kahvi Collective as well!

Lately I've really got into a bunch of those late-90s demoscene/tracker artists who went on to be fairly influential in the IDM world... e.g. Brothomstates/Dune, Lackluster, Vim etc.

I love that late-90s minimal IDM sound anyway, and I find it really interesting how it (at least in part) very audibly grew out of the tracker scene and how the technical peculiarities of working with trackers came to define aspects of the sound, even when the artists themselves stopped using trackers.

Which other demoscene artists should I be listening to if I like this sort of thing?

a chip file format dj application with mutilple outputs and tempo control available as a vst.

Wasn't Syphus working on something along these lines? Not a VST though, think it was in Processing...

I'd love a MOD/XM player for PSP with channel muting/soloing and a pattern sequencer (not pattern editor!) that can be shuffled and reordered on the fly. Basically, write patterns and loops in Milkytracker then jam them out live. Would be heaven! smile

Brilliant, I'll be there - holidaying in NY that week!

herr_proff mentioned on #hexawe there would be an open mic at this one, is that still the case? I'm bringing my PSP along, am well up for busting out some of the Piggy Tracker stuff I've been working on lately smile

i would still like to see the 2pp videos from 2008 sad

Yeah, what's happening with these? I was quite excited that there was actually a decent sound recording for 2008, the Glomag / Atomic video was a huge step up from the previous fests' videos.

Is it wrong that I prefer Jarre to both of them? wink

Hi all,

I was looking at a few Youtube videos of the LBPG crew recently, and came across references to a couple of LBPG CDs. Google didn't yield much more information, has anyone got any more details on these and  - more importantly - does anyone know where I can buy them?

LBCR002 Coova - Lilil
(presumably this is a full length album by Coova)

LBCR004 LBPG Small Comp
(this appears to be a compilation with tracks by Saitone, Q330, Coova etc.)

Those catalogue numbers suggest there were a few more LBPG CDs as well...

Starting listening to this on my way to work this morning. This is already one of the best comps I've ever heard. Italochip ftw!

Who is Mr Nissness? He's going an amazing John Carpenter thing going on...

Hehe, can't put it any better than Bleo smile  Am seriously proud to have a tune on Hexawe.

Will hopefully be playing this and maybe some other Piggy stuff at the Pulsewave open mic in May.....
