• Wow. Okay. So. Two memories.
  
  At Breakpoint 2010, I was watching Rove during the compo, slightly drunk with my girlfriend while our relationship was disintegrating right before my eyes. And somehow the uplifting and bittersweet music during the end scroller somehow made it all okay, lifted me up from a pretty bad place I was in and soothed me. It felt like that moment was an eternity in itself, some sort of focus or culmination of so many emotions all at once.
  
  At some Assembly long gone that I have forgotten, probably in the Nineties when I was still a kid, I was sitting watching a demo (that I have also forgotten) and suddenly felt like I was falling, because the synesthetic effect between the synth of the music and the visuals somehow grabbed me and transported me to an another place. I don't think the demo was anything special, but that moment was. It gave me a feeling that I belonged there, at that place, at that particular time. It was magical.
  
  And decades later I am sitting at my work computer, watching this demo unfold in real time. And it feels like the synthesis between those memories, a bridge into something deep inside me. I am in both those places again, and I get a feeling that I somehow belong here, in this time and place. I rarely get that with demos nowadays, they've become just an another addition in a long line of productions I've seen, something I open up in a disassembler to learn from, something that I break in small pieces in my mind to figure them out, something that I can measure and analyze and say that yeah, it's not as good as it used to be, because nothing is ever as good as it was when you were young. But this, a simple and minimal thing, probably quite quickly made´, becomes something else again. It takes my memories and makes them whole again. And at the same it feels like it's redeeming me.

• demo Atari XL/XE Rewind 2 by New Generation & Zelax & Radiance
• Lots of really good content. However, it does outstay its welcome a bit and the amount of low-res started to get weary on the eyes a bit. But, so many fantastic moments - I really loved the glenzy checkerboard stuff and the x-rotator.

• demo Nintendo 64 Emotion Engine by Epoch [web] & Ivory Labs
• Enough time has passed for the new media aesthetics to feel fresh again. Or maybe I'm just nostalgic. But a great demo nevertheless :)
