which rises the question of how come making lofi music in freeware software is practical while doing demos is not.


Where is his music. I'd love to hear that.

holy shit, that first chiptune is highly practical.

the "modarchive scene" trackers were generally the "poor cousins" of the demoscene/netlabel scene trackers.

and also the types that lived in happy ignorance of the existence of much much more skilled tracking musicians elsewhere. kindof like the "traxinspace scene".

Very interesting.... but stupid. (quote from some TV sketch. I forget which)

The Mod Archive is an archive. The users of the Mod Archive are listeners, trackers, and slackers. I assure you though, there is no ignorance on the most part despite what has been quickly pasted from an IRC log into this thread. That's like saying Pouet is ShaneTheWolf. However I somewhat agree with analogy of "poor cousins" in respect to scene relationship. Like a poor cousin Mod Archive users generally don't care what the rest of the "family" is doing and would prefer to do their own thing. I think that's ok.
i think the scene is small enough and we don't need to start dividing it in clans. "the scene.org clan" and "the pouet clan" and "the modarchive clan" are all part of the same thing...

and in every corner of this nice underground community there is a guy who likes to say those things in order to have a laugh. very much like stefan i guess.

That thing about "purpose VS the scene" revolved several times around my head. I guess that if something was about purpose then this wouldn't be the scene anymore ;]

What was the purpose of drawing a nude chick on canvas in 1782?
jeenio: subcultures exist naturally, we dont force them into existance, its just that people create niches with things they are more interested with. so we ended up with the crackers niche, the ascii artists, the modarchive/traxinspace trackers, the #trax'ers, the netlabels, the artgroups, 256byte coders, motionvideo, etc etc etc.. in all of them there are always some people who feel their cause is the true path for the zen enlightment towards world domination and those who would rather see everything walk hand in hand with shared importance. quarrels between and within the scenes and/or their subcultures is nothing more then normal. it gets quite boring to keep hearing defenses for useless discussions though, but people with too much free time always do seem to possess impressive rambling skills combined with big lack of tolerance to other peoples point of view.

optimus: real artists dont do their craft for money, they do them because they must do it in order to feel complete, a better person within. *useless debate about meaning of art here*

someone on this site knows him and will eventually inform him.. that HAS to happen.. it's a scientific law..

I make demos because i got nothing else (productive) to do. Smelling my shitty underpants gets boring
