Small release of tracks recorded in live mode on a 4 track tape recorder, the tape changes the sound a little bit..
Allot of the tracks have also been programed on the fly adding mistakes and predictability.
And all the tracks merge into each-other after each-other.
I made this as a test for me, to see if I could use LSDj in this way also..

iPakk

---

Hi,

I made an executable packer for MacOS X. iPakk (previously called "iShrink") has reached version 0.2. Although currently it's in heavy development phase, it can already achieve high compression ratio on Mach-O binaries, and transparently runs on both OS X architectures: powerpc and x86.

iPakk is featuring:
- very high compression (LZMA) ratio, higher than gzip and bzip2
- very small stub (around 3kb), which is powerpc, so it runs on all platforms thanks to the Rosetta.

The only way to fight the madness around us and inside ourselves, is to bring
positive vibes to our minds and consciousness. You can actually study cymatics
to understand that water molecules form beautiful and complex geometrical
crystal shapes when exposed to certain music and sound frequencies. And even
our intentions, emotions, thoughts affect the crystals through a
quantum-field. We are mostly water, so our thoughts, intentions will manifest
instantly in our own bodies. It's not that far fetched idea if you think about
it...

..."Selected Works 1" is a Space Pop LP flavoured with styles from Clicks and Cuts, electro and drum and bass by our finnish member Ville ' Tripper' Sarell.

There's a oneliner for your comments so feel free to leave a message.

We want gangsta-rap!, swinging crime hymns, funky chase tuneZ or whatever (chipmusic-)crime you want to commit send your tunes with the reference "microcrime" 2 manou microdisco.de.

Risen From Oblivion VDC - Video

---

For those of you, who don’t (yet) own a C128dcr, I got my Fujifilm Z1 and made a video of the awesome demo. The quality isn’t very good, since YouTube changes the parameters of the uploaded video and also my Camera is more a photocam, than a videocam...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZyA3WzpZQ

I hosted this video on my homepage for December and January, but my Traffic-restriction was reached soon, so I had to remove it. Happily, a guy named funxiun uploaded it first to YouTube, so now it's there twice. My version is with louder sound, so make your choice!

Hatari http://hatari.sourceforge.net is an emulator born out of the ashes of an older ST emu, WinSTon (whose sources were released when the author ceased to develop it). Some brave souls took the sources, removed the x86 specific code, added the UAE core and went on developing it.

In the last few months, work has gone into adding Falcon and TT emulation. The results are promising, as lots of stuff already run. The main issue now is emulating the DSP 56001 decently so more demos and software will run.
