20 Years Is Nothing (video)
This C64-production celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hack n' Trade, a group I started when I was a pre-teen Guns n' Roses hacker. For this demo called 20 YEARS IS NOTHING I made the sounds, Acid T*rroreast (Raquel Meyers) typed the visuals, and Mathman (Johan Kotlinski) did the magic coding.
The visuals were really typed by hand, one by one on a Commodore 64. No undo function. I think it was something like 50 000 key presses for the whole thing. We made it in a few days, and it was a process with lots of twists and turns, so the music could've been better (especially since I did a lot of it at a place like this).
Thanks to Lemming/Offence/FIG for capturing it properly. Not an easy task!
Fågeldisk With Top Secret Software
When I was a kid I started a group called Hack n' Trade, and now it's 20 years old. To celebrate this, we made a release disk - FÅGELDISK - with bird-related C64-productions like 20 Years Is Nothing, double and triple SID music by Jellica, burning birds and also some very secret HT-tools and games.
We made 10 copies and spread it around at the BFP copy party, so we'll see when it starts to spread around. In the mean time, here's how it looks:
Dataslav Performance Today
Today I do the DATASLAV performance, where I make music on command. Visitors fill in a form to request the style, and I make it happen in like 15 minutes. On the Amiga. The results are given out on floppy disk.
So I sit an an old police reception on Hisingen Island in Sweden. It's part of the Dataslöjd Summer Exhibition, together with Raquel Meyers and Geraldine Juárez.
Dansa In Video
A story with pirates, sloths and sex told completely in text graphics and chipmusic. A blocky and brutal visual aesthetic synchronized with explosives, drunken funk and computer screams. All made in 44 kilobytes, to be executed by a Commodore 64 and its colourful ASCII-alternative called PETSCII.
Shown at UCLA Game Art Festival, competed at the Datastorm demoparty and is available as C64 executable here.
Visuals by Raquel Meyers, audio by Goto80 and coding by Johan Kotlinski.
Shown at Net Artist Music Videos in London (2013), UCLA Game Art, Los Angeles (2013).
Live @ Art Hack Day, Bonniers Konsthall
Excerpts of 30-minute performance by me & Raquel Meyers. Made with two C64s, a videomixer and a delay pedal. The music was composed completely from scratch, live infront of the audience, and all the visuals are text graphics.
Filmed by Psilodump at Art Hack Day, Bonniers Konsthall, April 2013.
