Truck Is Jarig 4K

Here’s a crazy idea I have had for a few years: remake the entire Rob Is Jarig/Aardbei demo from 2000 in a 4K. That demo has been submitted at quite a few demoparties (see Pouet ). At some point people started to dance on stage if that demo was shown. Unfortunately the Fins at Assembly’22 didn’t know that custom (or they were scared of the security guards. Yes Assembly has those). Still, they at least recognized my artistic impression of Truck ;-)

DC Offset 8K

This was our contribution to the 8K intro competition at Revision 2021, where it placed 2nd. It is the first production using our experimental GPU-synth. I wanted to see if a synth in the same language as the visuals would compress better and ultimately be smaller than the usual softsynths (Clinkster/4Klang). Unfortunately, you can’t really do an apples to apples comparison by implementing half a synth, or even 80% of one. And I’m not that interested in synths, VSTi’s etc etc, so this took a long time. This intro gave the final motivational push to finish it. We ran in the usual last-days bugs, sleepless nights, asking the organizers to extend the deadline etc… so it’s not as polished as we had hoped. Still, we learned a lot, and had fun making this!
