Evoke: Travelling, lifts and hotels

[ Evoke 2008 ] travelling, lifts and hotels
Within the last days we added quite a lot of information: you may now add your offer for a trip (some seats left in your car, anyone?). Or add a seek for a trip. We updated the hotel page (with a camping site) and added all those locations to our google map. And finally we fixed some links. But after all: it's still the same location as last year.

[ Buenzli News ] Art Exhibitions at Buenzli
Posted by: Buenzli Organizing Team
This year, we prepare a fine new thing for our visitor: Buenzli 17 will not only be a demoparty, but also feature a mini art exhibition. The exhibition consists of two areas, one featuring paintings and home made trash art on the topic of airplanes. The other area will contain a musical experience object called "Wechselsaiting" - a real time real life sound synthesis curtain. Read more about "Wechselsaiting" on the news pages of "Echtzeit - Digitale Kultur". These art areas aim to extend the experience of Buenzli 17 and will, last but not least, increase the attractivity of the entrance hall. Be sure to check that awesome stuff out!

IntrosC64.org: 100 New Intros Again

[ IntrosC64.org ] 100 new intros again
After a long break we are finally back with 100 new fresh intros and 15 new groups. We might call this update a 'Brutal one' as it contains 31 intros from Brutal. We have also made some fixes proposed by our visitors (in CCS, Excess, Epic, Vision and some others).

Druid has introduced some team organizational changes and tools to simplify our work. Our hard-working rippers CenTraX and iAN CooG have prepared a lot of new stuff for this and future updates. Having Zyron checking submitted intros and helping us with his scene knowledge and Slaygon helping us with all hosting needs we do have quite a solid team and from now on we will try to make a new update every single month.

We would like to thank everyone who submitted intros for use on our site. CenTraX and iAN CooG have sorted out almost all of them, your support was huge. As written before - all those intros will be included on our site. Please send any new intros you will find or any comments using our contact form. However we do ask you not to send intros that are already on our site. Enjoy.

Kahvi #251: Aleksi Eeben / Perserverance

[ Traxernews ] Kahvi #251: Aleksi Eeben / Perserverance
One of the most outlandish and experimental artists to feature on Kahvi returns with a small exerpt of his full length album 'Perserverance'. Aleksi is, as I probably said before, verging on the genius with his out of tune, apparently random melodies, but yet.. they actually work quite well. The tracks featured here are a small personally selected bunch of the more mellow and chilled tracks, still with the 'randomness', still with the completely original construction. Track of choice: Kiruna. Enjoy!

Webadmin for 256b.com

--- CAN'T OFFER PAYMENT ---

The site has been looking the same forever now and I haven't got the time to sort out the bugs and errors that exist on it. Poi did a great job a couple of years ago and fixed the site. But he has gone walkabout now and since I am no longer active in the demoscene my life is somewhat occupied with other things. Sad but true.
But I still have it in my interest to have the archive available, because I think somewhere that other think the same... Anyway, if anyone would be interested in behing responsible for the website and updates (for life?) please contact me. And again, I am not able to offer any money for this, but hope that someone would feel honoured to do it all for free.
