Did they state if/how much AI agents they used in creating this demo?

Tell us you don't understand the demoscene without telling us you don't understand the demoscene.

Aren't you in your 70s? What's with the juvenile parlance?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

MIDI songs? I checked, I couldn't find any from the link you posted. Most were different module formats, like XM, Protracker, S3M, Impulse Tracker. Those have nothing to do with midi other than they also produce music.

They've probably been converted over the years, just like you might convert an mp3 into flac or ogg or whatever.

No, those are the original formats. MOD (Soundtracker [0], Protracker, etc.), IT (Impulse Tracker), XM (FastTracker) and S3M (ScreamTracker 3) are all from the nineties.

Ah wow. I really enjoyed the demoscene back in the 90s. Was never a part of it but I was always fascinated by the effects and music and ascii art that these guys created. A BBS in my city always had the latest e-zines like Reality Check Network and Affinity, and others I forget. Reading up on the scene and about groups like Razor1911 was something I spent a lot of time on when I was younger. Amazing demo and homage t…

It is a great demo and really nostalgic. I was briefly a courier for Razor 1911 in the mid 90s. I recognize many of the handles throughout the demo and in the list at the end, and even BBS names if you slow down or pause some parts of the demo. So certainly brings back a lot of good memories. The music is great also.

Thanks for your service, you got kids like me into PCs back then.

Anyone understand why multiple demos have voices singing now.. how do they do it ?

It has been a thing for some time. Even back in the 16-bit days: - Movement Mina Omistan (1994): https://youtu.be/Ryq8fz_XAhI - TBL Tint (1996) second part: https://youtu.be/KcSV4qAG-xk?t=459

First one I remembered with a proper song was 303 by Acme : https://demozoo.org/productions/62/

Legendary demo group Razor 1911 submitted this beautiful demo as the closer for the Revision 2026 demo competition. It is an homage to 40 years of hacking from the group. For context, they were pioneers in both the demoscene and in the warez scene in the 80s-00s.

Really cool retro-mix, and some slick transitions. Most of that was before my time though, so 1995 by Kewlers[1] hit harder for me, since that was when I really got into the demo scene and with it my drive to learn programming. Glad the demo scene is alive and kicking, though I get why a lot is oriented around old hardware, modern hardware makes things too easy almost. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mtctbodNXY…

Wow that's the demo that featured Little Bitchard's "Choose Zero Polys"! That and Jupiter Sound [0] are one of my favourite demo tunes.

Yea love both very much as well, awesome tracks.

I also really like Eyegabo0om[1] by Legend and Yolk, though perhaps I'm colored by being awed by the demo (Inside) when I saw it presented at TG'96.

I play these regularly. Good times!
