Goto80 + Jossystem sizzling summer action

Aug 20, 2006 | , ,

As a warm up for the summer, me and Dan from Jossystem were (supposed to have been) working on our audiovisual propaganda in May. And we did a gig at the wonderful Oro Gallery in Gothenburg.

In July we did a gig at Backslash (Robots + Naked Chicks + Lasers) and then hung around in the Jossystem HQ in King’s Ear for a week, doing some heavy data work. That’s when I got into Myspace. :) We finished off our data psychosis with a gig at Arvikafestivalen. We didn’t play as a part of the festival really, but in the tent of Galago/Vertigo/Ordfront by the entrance. Chaos ruled the gig, and afterwards I found my C64-disks in the dirt, stomped on by the mad crowd! Woops. I spent the night in the tent of Bromander and Amaurot, but I managed to keep my clothes on. Well, I had to because it was freezing and I didn’t have any sleeping gear. I got up early next morning and took the train to Gothenburg to play at the internet headphone apartment festival (!?) Totogo. I was sort of trashed when I got there, and I tried my best to clean my C64-disks so they would work. Some of them did, but I lost some of newest acid-tracks. Error! Error! Brrrrrr!

We also made a mini tour in August: 8-bit festival 2 (Tampere), Assembly (Helsinki) and Pirat-fest (Stockholm). Finally I got to go on one of the ferries between Sweden and Finland. They’re famous for being trashy, tacky, lo-fi, alcoholic, sleezy, etc. It was great! The photos and videos we took during our trip (and nothing more) were used to make the Volksing-video. Here’s three of them: (shot by Björn Bengtsson)

nice socks, nice crowd

And there’s a video of my gig at the 8-bit festival.

The party in Stockholm was arranged by the big and beautiful Piratbyrån, and it was a good ending to another mini tour. Rickard Falkvinge was there to see the massive release of Jossystem’s Jag heter Rickard Falkvinge. Björn Bengtsson and Psilodump took photos, and here are the absolute worst ones. (unhealthy insomniac ferry style)

as bad as it gets

We also made more shows this summer together with Entter, but that’s a different story!

Data Jam

May 6, 2006 | , ,

Audiovisual datajam at gallery Big Love (rip) on Hisingen Island. It was me, Dino, Yoki, Booger, Mortimer Twang and Optiroc = top notch Hack n’ Trade Up Rough data elite. So we did assembler programming, PETSCII-stuff, Deluxe Paint animations, Protracking, LSDJing, JCHing, etc. Maybe we’ll get videos online some day, here’s two photos while you’re waiting. Oh, and yes – we destroyed so much that evening. It was beautiful.

Demoscene Datatrash Stlars

Feb 20, 2006 | ,

I was in a basement in the south of Sweden last night, where the Commodore 64 demo scene elite d00ds gathered in some sort of oldschool worker-revolutionary book café …. thing. St Lars Meeting!. Nice sweaty crammed data action battlez by the Swedish (and other) C64-elite. I made a song at the party which was called Köttlars. (Play with VICE) It got first place in the competition, after settling it in a joystick shake-until-they-break Tour De France session with Zzap64. My song and visuals are in the finest of data trash traditions, and everytime the song is looped it’s slightly “remixed”. (Thanks to Mäts for coding the visuals.)

jucke packing it daaauuunnn

Talking about demoscene data trash… Check out the C64-demo Industrial Breakdown by Booze Design, the Vic-20 demo Robotic Liberation (youtube) by PWP, and the modern demoscene datatrash-stuff by the Slovakian Zden. Check out his demo PC-demo Metamorf for example.

Demoscene 2005

Dec 17, 2005 |

> Dear Santa by Up Rough Kidz (Amiga-intro, 2005). Mega cute xmas mash up mega mix deluxe ballad!

> Hello:FRIEND by Fairlight (C64-demo, #3 @ LCP2005)

> Chasing Pop by Goto80 (Amiga-music, #1 @ LCP2005)

> Cp/l by Goto80 (C64-music, #5 @ LCP2005). Well, what can I say? What kind of music am I supposed to be doing at those dizzy copy parties? Besides, I did finish that very proper Chasing Pop tune at the same time aswell.

> Mental Respirator by Phantasy (Gameboy-demo, #5 @ Breakpoint 2005)

> Datahell by Goto80 (C64-music, #1 @ Floppy 2005). Made at the Floppy party, after having made the beta version already (they’re both featured on my Digi-Dig release). Some nice text art datatrash in there too, I think it was made by Autoboy.

> Vandalism News #42 by ONS, SCS+TRC, VNS, WD (C64-diskmag 2004)

> Alfa – cute C64 ambient, scored #3 @ Datahelg 2004.

> Exy – a somewhat messy C64-song I made when I was in Holland to play live at the legendary C64-party X, in Hengelo. I actually scored the worst ever with this song (#17), which is strange because I am still really happy with this song. Hm, maybe that says more about my mind than anything else really….

> Thisdemowasnotmadebygoto80 by Coders With Attitude (C64-demo, #11 @ X’2004)

> Postcards From Stockholm by Fairlight (C64-demo, #1 @ LCP2004)

Demoscene 2003

Dec 17, 2003 |

  • Emanation Machine by Fairlight. Really nice C64-demo which scored #1 @ LCP2003. I remember making the song at the party place, somewhat stressed in the noise of the party. Ah, the sweet life!
  • Knark by Phantasy (Gameboy-demo, #1 @LCP2003)
  • Domination #18 (C64-diskmag 2003)
  • Londonk by Goto80 (C64-music, #2 @ Floppy2003). Drum n bass again! I think I fucked this up in the end, really stressed to have it finished for the compo (as usual). Underground Helsingborg daze…
  • Loaded by Fairlight (C64-demo, #2 @ Floppy2003)

    • emanation machinedominationloadedknark!

    Demoscene 2002

    Dec 17, 2002 |

  • The Yard BBS-intro by Up Rough. Amiga BBS-intro in Punch Out style!
  • Summerfun by Hack n’ Trade (C64-intro, #10 @LCP2002). Eek, a really old song by me!?
  • Flämtvax by Goto80 (C64-music, #1 @ LCP2002). This is the song that I later that summer would right some lyrics to and perform live at Norbergfestival. Nowadays known as Cracker’s Delight.
  • Dots3000 by Hack n’ Trade (C64-intro, #8 @ LCP2002)
  • Demotronic by 1.000.000 BOYS (Gameboy-demo, #2 @LCP2002). So, this is the best gameboy demo ever, probably. Technically it beat everything hands down at the time, and it’s still one of the best demos ever because of the fresh design and fuckyou-attitude.
  • 1977 by Up Rough (C64-intro, #13 @ LCP2002)
  • Hits for Kids by Up Rough (Amiga-musicdisk, 2002). Mega cute super mega Goto80 music disk LP thing!
  • Doc Bacardi Meets Doc Sportdryck (C64-demo, #1 @ Mainframe 2002). Really silly goa trance song I made in an hour or so, for a really silly demo. Or is it?
  • Gopho – a C64-song that earned me 15 bottles of wine from a small family owned wine producer in northern Italy! (#1 in Sidwine Compo 2002)
  • Pretending to See the Light by Fairlight. Really great C64-demo, #1 @ Floppy2002.
  • Italo Megamix – a nice little C64-intro in italo disco style, with a megamix I made of good ol’ songs. #6 @ Floppy2002.

    > Drop the Basics by Fairlight+Damage (C64-demo, #3 @ X’2001)

    > GBG by Up Rough + TBL (Amiga-demo, #1 @TRSAC Autumn 2001). (youtube)

    > Pappersballong by Goto80 (Amiga-music, #3 @ Underscore 2001)

    > Royal Arte by Booze Design. A C64-demo that’s still today ranked among the top C64-demos ever. It came in #1 @ MekkaSymposium 2001. My song Blox is in there, which was released on my Papaya EP the same year.

    > Emission by Triad (C64-demo, #4 @ MekkaSymposium 2001). My song Raymond is in there.

    > Minakö by Goto80+Chavez (Amiga-music, #3 @ Mekanisaatio 2001). Chavez started making 2 patterns – with melodies and chords and stuff, but then I went disco crazy with it. So yeah, the resemblance to “Du är det finaste jag vet” isn’t my fault!

    > Ajvar Relish by Goto80 (C64-music, #1 @ Floppy2001). Mega dub!

    Demoscene 2000

    Dec 30, 2000 |

  • Ameff was a drum n’ bass song I remember finishing when I was slightly drunk, hence the bizarre ending. It came in last in the C64 music competition at The Party 2000. The final proof of a old good party that just doesn’t cut it anymore, hehe.
  • Gunilla by Goto80 for Chipztream. This song was originally made by me and Greg for our band HT, and then I did this Amiga chip version of it for our new album “Smashar i Huvudet”. And then I contributed this to the Finnish group Chipztream and a music disk of theirs.
  • Circlescroller by Hack n’ Trade. This Amiga demo, coded by Booger, came in first in the Amiga-demo competition at Reunion2000.
  • Xmas. A song I made for some release by Chippendales.
  • Manhood by Triad. A C64-demo which came in #2 at Dreamhack 2000.
  • Domination #14 was a C64-diskmag I made stuff for.
  • Slugg came in #1 at LCP2000 in the C64-music competition. Drum n’ Bass yea yeah!
  • 26kg by Triad. C64-demo, #1 @ LCP2000)
  • Stig – Son of Stag by Hack n’ Trade. Amiga porn-demo released at LCP2000. Proudly walks in the footsteps of BnK’s great porno productions from the old Amiga days.
  • Stag – Son of Stig by Hack n’ Trade. We had to do a C64-version aswell, ofcourse. Also for LCP2000.
  • Domination #13, a C64-diskmag I made stuff for.
