TRSAC (and a few weeks later!)

Curt Cool — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:44:05 +0000

Curt Cool and Presence went to TRSAC in Århus (no not “Aarhus”, that’s for lamerz) along with a whole bundle of other sceners, and boy-o-boy did we have fun or what? We are sure that drunk organizers do a better job, and we are also sure that this may be the most friendly party we have ever attended.

The dear Mr. Cool released two tracks there but was not exactly catching the taste of the public (read: Dubstep or techo of sorts). Still, his tracks, Bobstep and Too Scared to Care can be downloaded at seasoned ftp mirrors (as in scene.org) around the globe.

Presence is also a member of Fnuque who actually releases something from time to time (as in “quite often”), mainly on WinDoesNotCompute-based platforms. They also released some stuff at TRSAC. And did swell.

Synergies developed at TRSAC, and so, Curt was asked to do a quick track for Focus Design for the demo Boost which won at GREP Brown. As he joined Hoaxers earlier this year, he also contributed to the the c64-demo Naked Grinder with no less than two SIDs. This demo was released at Kindergarden 2011 at the same weekend as GREP Brown.

Now, we will sit back in the good oldskool nineties lamer fashion for a while. And then some. See you, whoever you are.

News from the summer and slightly later.

TRSAC is right around the corner, and it seems that Curt Cool and Presence will be going to Århus once again to drink, party and maybe release some music, demos, … You name it, we (ain’t?) got it – well, never mind, as long as they serve duck for dinner, eh? Preferably wrapped in bacon which is probably what could be an intriguing thing to do to the braindead kids who keeps on lurking until we forget to update WordPress, then hack this peace-loving, unsuspecting website.

Earlier this summer, in August, Curt Cool visited Little Computer People in Lund, Sweden (yeah, it’s just across the bridge you know and released no less than one chipmodule, which came second in the tracked music competition (yes, the link is a download link for the compo entries). He also joined the group Hoaxers with Sprocket and Skurk in doing demos for the good ol’ C64 – so there could be some Curt Cool SIDs in future demos from Hoaxers.

Speaking of Skurk, he also released another one of those Amiga ECS 256 bytes intros, this time simply called 256-byte scroller. N-Joy. Or don’t. But don’t expect a prize if you don’t. Unless that prize is a great big kick in the bollocks.

And lastly, thanks for a nice ONSDAGS-MEKKA last wednesday to all you old farts – you know who you are.

Revision, small intros & Solskogen

Curt Cool — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 10:59:55 +0000

Wow! Clear the front page! Activity! Madness! AMIGAAAAAA!

No really, this should probably have been written a while ago, but neverthless, some stuff was released: First, we have the intro “Conqueror“, which was released at Revision 2011 – thanks to Corial/Focus Design for using Curt Cool’s music and attaching a Depth logo to his annual compo-filler.

Also, our fine coder Skurk has been a busy fellow, releasing no less than two micro-small intros, “Interferencing” (512 bytes in late May) and “Circus” (256 bytes in mid-july). Excellent work, you bad bad BAD man.

Also, Skurk visited Solskogen 2011 – but no releases there, though this editor guesses he met the usual crowd of drunken lunatics from Scandinavia and generally had a brill time …

What the HELL Was I Thinking?

Curt Cool — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:45:39 +0000

Yeah, what indeed. Thinking? THINKING??? Well, someone obviously was thinking something – this may come as a surprise to the world, but we do occasionally think, and sometimes, we mediate our thoughts on oldschool computers. So, this is the final version of “What the Hell Was I Thinking?” which came 5th in the combined demo competition at Kindergarden. Enjoy.

Coolism

Curt Cool — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 21:51:52 +0000

I am happy to announce that DEPTH have released COOLISM – a chippack featuring music by Curt Cool, code by Skurk and graphics by Sprocket, made to celebrate the 15th jubilee of our first release, Cooltunes, from way back in spring 1994. It should work on all Amigas and UAE configurations and can be obtained right here. Enjoy!!!

TRSAC 2008 Update

Curt Cool — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:26:26 +0000

Curt Cool was at TRSAC. He won the oldschool music competition (out of two entries) with the 4 channel Amiga module “Hobos Broken Phrunk” which can be downloaded here. He also came second in the executable music (out of three entries) competition with “Boozanova” – made with ReNoise and Blueberry’s softsynth – unfortunately the tune isn’t really executable yet, but it will be when Blueberry finishes off everything. And last but not least, Trip & Curt Cool made a song for the streaming music competition – it wasn’t too successful, but still came in 6th out of 11 tunes. The song is called “Database” and can be found here. It’s quite fun (the lyrics too) but obviously the scene is as it always was: Wanting techno, drum’n'bass and other boring genres …

Depth at Solskogen

Curt Cool — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:03:00 +0000

I’m pleased to announce that Depth was present at Solskogen in Norway and even made some releases there (!). Ledge and Deary http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=69056 was the only entry in the oldskool demo compo and thus won it (haha! that’s the real way of winning compos!).

A Nintendo Wii demo called Ledge and a WildDemo called Mowii was also released there, reaching 10th and 3rd place in their respective compos. These will also be available soon!
