Great that the article is here finally! I was afraid you wouldn’t promote the only party which this server co-organizes :)
Anyway, I’m looking forward to meeting all of you party people there! Only 4 days to go, yo!

Roman, a damn sick tooth stopped me! ;_; I’ll loose the party once again!!! Dunno if I’ll prepare a music in few days...In one word: DISASTER! >_< BTW, bubis/Resource probably will be there with our 16K demo...

10. Mar 2003 20:55
CreamD: exactly, I’ll try to make a video (with SIDcard audio included) of the demo, then I’ll send the tape to you...hoping it will arrive quickly

Yeah, Bubis have contacted me in this matter. So I expect the stuff from you. Thanx for support. Also, good luck with composing.

This number scares me so much that even I’m composing a ’music’ to enlarge the number of competing tunes :) At least it will be a benchmark for other musicians: if you can’t do better than THIS, you’re hopeless ;> (this smiley is copyrighted by me under the nickname ’Malicious Ninja’). See you at the party and I hope Richard’s music will rock :) BTW, if the HW organizers don’t bring a microphone this time, I’ll probably ruin my vocal chords (again).

Don’t count on it dude! I’m pretty sure there will too much tunes again ;-)). Imo 15-20 would be ideal for the quality compo.

I had no time for composing, and at the moment, I dunno if I can compose a _very little_ tune in only 2 days...but I try to do it. Obviously, it’ll be nothing outtamind, but with a music I’ll able to exist in this Forever edition too. Anyway, I’ll be virtually present in the WildCompo for sure: bubis probably will finish the Plus/4 demo tonight, then he’ll record it on a tape, and this weekend you’ll watch it at the party; the music of that demo will complete the ’fixers’ series, hope you’ll enjoy it.

12. Mar 2003 13:56
another tune... still waiting for tune from Orcan. As far as my composition is concerned I’m afraid I won’t do it.. but god know.. if I do it will be another gonna make you sweat stuff *le ’umble grin* ;-)

Luca: Don’t worry. All I have at the moment are only the instruments. I’ll have something like 3-4 hours to "compose" + of course the late night from Fri to Sat at the party :)

13. Mar 2003 12:24
Yeph, Wotnau...but, not being here at the party, I must send a tune.....mmmm...TOMORROW! It will be a repetitive 1-minute music, but damn hell I won’t miss the Forever! :D

Best will be tonight. I’m leaving Nitra around 9:00-10:00 in the morning. We should have internet access at partyplace, but don’t count with it. Send you entry to creamd@c64.sk . In any case if you send later than 9:00 tommorow, send me SMS my phone is in the invitation article.

Jeez, I composed during the whole afternoon, evening and night...and now I’m ATOMIZED, tired isn’t enough to explain. Hope you’ll enjoy this little tune that casually crosses Yoko Kanno’s "Cats on Mars" with ISAN’s "Happy pet in a car". Nite all, I’m loosing senses....zzzzz....

Of course I like it!!! It’s great!

Is it true that .sk customs wanted to charge tax or an import fee on the c64s that Sad and LHS tried bringing in? What’s the story...
[30] :
16. Mar 2003 14:04
Yes, they said it’s not allowed to bring old machines to SK, later they have estimated price of their equipent to around EUR 100 and wanted 60% from the to pay as deposit that they will bring it back. So SAD and LHS had to leave the equipment at the border.Other people didn’t have any problem (there was around 20-30 systems set up at partyplace) Exile (Holland) even managed to bring a lot of weird old machines to give out to visitors. Seems like officers don’t want to mess up with english or german speaking foreigners (it’s too hard for them to explain ;-). Other guys (no names ;-) had to bribe the officers (EUR 50) to get over border because car insurance wasn’t signer by driver of the car (or something like that) ;-) Results coming up soon

Oops, sent in a entry, didn’t get any reply so I figured I missed the bus.. so I sent it in for Deadline. Anyway thanks to CreaMD and concrats :)

Thanks to the visitors for coming to the party and creating the party’s atmosphere. We hope to see you again as well as some new faces the third weekend in March 2004!

CreaMD: To everyone who was interested I quoted you saying that you’d upload the party results within two days. So I hope you’ll make it :)
Wotnau

17. Mar 2003 09:28
Of course I DID!!! Sorry but I’m not responsible for people who add news so fast.. scroll the page doooooown,...
CreaMD
[40] :
17. Mar 2003 10:32
Ooopsa, sorry :) WELL DONE! Anyway, a littil problem is that with the numbered list in HTML you get wrong places. After shared places 10 and 11 the next number should be 12, not 11. And the same goes for my music, it was 13.-14. not 12., unfortunately :) Anyway, great job and sorry for the mess!
Wotnau
[41] :
17. Mar 2003 10:43
No problemo. I did that numbering intentionally as when there is shared 11th place, there should be 12th place following... I did the same in case of the Sid II competition.
CreaMD
[42] :
17. Mar 2003 10:55
Ahahahah, lol! What d’you mean with "Commodore Plus/4 demo"? Its name is largely shown on the screen, I guess, isn’t it? :D
[43] :
17. Mar 2003 10:58
Well you don’t know all the details of the story. We had problems to show it on big screen either due to a lousy video or some other problem with projector connection, so we had to run it on a TV screen. Anyway people were so interested that they moved from their chairs closer to the TV ;-)). I’ve been sitting far away from it and runned the Hearthfixer tune from my C64 machine. Anyway the demo should be called "Heathfixer" right?
CreaMD
[44] :
17. Mar 2003 11:01
I have tape over here btw. Maybe you guys could make a DIV-X version of your demo so we could spread it on C64.sk it was really nice demo. Or I’ll release an file with instructions how to run it on emulator. I have to D/L YAPE myself anyway.
CreaMD
[45] :
17. Mar 2003 11:12
I?ve just checked the demo in YAPE. Cool stuff, but lousy SID emulation. ;-(
creamd
[46] :
17. Mar 2003 11:17
Yes, its name is "Heartfixer" (casually ;))), and both with bubis’tape and YAPE you’ll hear it in a wrong c64 emulation that kills the piano fx (apropo, thanx CreamD for substituting the music with the real machine). You could put in also the .sid data file...
[47] :
17. Mar 2003 16:54
Sorry for the bad recording if it is my fault. I probably have to discard my video recorder. I couldn’t record good quality video to the begining of the tape. It occursed to me in the last minite to try the end of the tape and it worked. But it wasn’t good enough and that was the problem I think. Thank you for showing this demo nevertheless the circumstances.
