Breakpoint 2009 Update

Curt Cool — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:13:58 +0000

Better late than never – Curt Cool was at Breakpoint ’09 and competed in three music compos, with no notable results – which makes certain facts and conclusions spring to mind – the thing is, it seems nobody really cares about the music competititions at Breakpoint, which is probably due to the quite low quality of the selection of tunes – or that the scene audience have completely revolved into people who mainly care for boring and unvaried variants of techno, drum’n'base etc. Still, music compos have always been a strange thing but the Breakpoint policy of not allowing competing musicians in the preselection juries probably keeps some competent people out of them – and that actually matters since only about a quarter or a fifth of the party visitors actually vote in the music competitions. Friend voting matters too I guess…

On a lighter note, it was great to meet the usual suspects, drink (more than) a few great German beers and generally enjoy oneself. Demowatching is best with your PANTS DOWN. Stay in awesome – don’t join tired!

TRSAC 2008 Update

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 …
