we published some compo updates:

One-Sample Tracking Compo

After featuring the old Tiny Music compo for several years, we decided that it's time to pose a new challenge to tracker musicians. So, this year we bring you the One-Sample Tracking compo. It's up to you to create the most amazing tune with only the one chiptune sample provided by us. Happy tracking! For the details compo rules, see here:

Fixed Palette Pixel Compo

We replaced the old Pixel Compo with a new one, where you have to use a given Palette of colors. You can even attend this Competition from remote! Read all updated rules:

By "RNS" in the allowed file formats, do you mean the age-old Renoise 1.0 format or Reason? ;) (I suppose it's the former, but I doubt anyone is still using that old Renoise versions, so it might confuse a lot of people who actually use Reason...)

saga, thx, good point, i'll fix that. in any case, if you're using whatever version of renoise, you're not allowed to use any fancy effects/dsp's etc.

ah, hold on, i have misread your statement. we do have XRNS listed as well, so of course RNS stands for the old renoise format. reason is not a tracker in any meaningful way. noone has mistaken RNS for a reason file in the past +5 years of music compos, so i don't think it will happen. :)

Evoke will suffer an injection of Danish Vikings this year :)

And so, it has been decided! The danes WILL invade Evoke this year.

The danes will travel like:


While the norwegians will travel like:

note to the nekkid norwegians: maybe you're too drunk to notice, but berlin's subway system doesn't go all the way to cologne ;)

hah, awesome pic, Punqtured...
...hardly remember having done that once aswell, but was a planned action, drove like that like 4-5 hours, got pretty drunk meanwhile :D
best part was changing subways, haha...ppls reactions went from laughing to "kill that dude!" and back!
a woman asking what i am doing got this answer:
"i am homeless, so i am at home, this is my bed; And i always sleep naked!"
ended in some police-stations cell for a night, them saying i was completely drunk, driving the train naked...i later told em i wasnt driving ;) hahaha....

being homeless: has not only bad parts about it!

LOL - brilliant story, Hardy :D

Deciding between underwear and beer. What an easy pick ;)

...and what other beer- brand than Sternburg could this creature rest on his testicles

if he´d be in possesion of some Big Balls he´d had used FAXE i´d guess ;)
"Sie war so ein halbes Schwein, mit Borsten auf der Haut!"

Just booked my train ticket, the Poo-Brain party train will drive into Cologne and will bring joy, happiness and terrible music to all!

even if you´d keep all of that alone at home, you are the one i want to meet, okkie, i LOVE YOU!

Anyone continuing on gdce? Can't really make up if it's worth going there (but would of course include evoke in case)

in case anyone stays after evoke, there will be the platine electronic arts festival the whole next week after evoke. including one very cool scene-related exhibition - more to be announced.

can one, as in me==cologne-dude, join in on that exhibition?
simple Q, just say NO then ;)

dont wanna SEE it, but CONTRIBUTE btw.

»including one very cool scene-related exhibition« ... and this is which one?

gaspode: so there´s a paper about it already? could you link me plz?
i guess i know what its about by now, sth from 2011, used before :D

What do you mean by »paper«? I know only the platine website.

ok, been wrong in my thinkings then. thanks!
gaspode: you better rock the bigscreen once again with one of your Wilds, due to me not having any 4k worth the winning yet ;) :)
I LOVE GASPODE, okkie everyone who does aswell ;)

you two are completely confused... =)

apparently the exhibition is already announced on the platine website, so i don't have to be all secret about it: http://www.platine-cologne.de/13/portfolio_category/aussteller-2/#amiga-ascii-art

(info about two further ascii artists is still missing, though, i think)

Saufm bis zum Wollepunkt :)

Ah damn, sooooo looking forward to Evoke - it will be a blast, again <3

Tinkering with the »Fixed Palette Pixel Compo« right now.
