Disconinjaz is a “Net-label hailing from Barcelona, Spain / Moscow, Russia. Disconinjaz is dedicated to funky arcade dance music, video game music / electro / acid trax / chiptunes / chipstyle disco / etc.”

By the absence of LCP, probably the most popular 8bit related demoscene event in Sweden, a few members of Up Rough Soundsystem, Genesis Project, Divine Stylers & SceneSat Radio took the responsibility of arranging an alternative party. And by tradition of LCP, some quality productions were being released.

The Scandinavian groups well represented in productions, yet lacking some usual suspects like Hollowman, Booze Design and Triad. The demo results of this year are mostly focused on design and technical achievement. Next to these quality productions there is a small tradition in experiments. Perhaps not coincidentally this is done by some true demoscene veterans, perhaps having played the usual demoscene game – which is about competition for many, instead doing things they like best.

This is the second iteration on the idea of a synthesizer in the web.

This time around, it's another crazy thing: software synthesis in javascript. Yes, that's possible.

What is currently not possible is to output calculated sound data via javascript, so for that purpose, I use a simple
flash applet.

The weblink doesnt seem to work for me, but there is code if you want to give it a try.

Let’s start [...]]]> For 2010 and if I don’t forget, I will be posting a new demo every Wednesday. Not necessarily 2010 material, so pay attention before you make next year TCTD Award nominations in this category, I don’t want you to nominate old stuff :P This should sparkle your interest in the oldschool platform demoscene though.

Let’s start up with this amazing production from Sander van den Borne’s demogroup, Focus

Title: Trans*Form.
Achievement: Ranked second at Big Floppy People 2006.

Basically its like the old hardsid, but one chip only ( the play model lets you install two that will switch depending on whichever you want to use at once) and no VST support (disappointingly). Is it cool enough and cheap enough for you?
