Computer Generated Musics (CGM)

 

For the demo scene

 

I you want to know what demo making is, just go there: http://www.demoscene.tv and follow the other links. Almost all songs I did were so to enter demos or intros as musician for IRIS. IRIS was a French group of demo making starting to operate in the late 1980s. After a break of roughly ten years from 1995 through to 2006, I became so nostalgic of that period as musician for demos that in 2007 I co-founded a new group: FRequency.

 

Between 1988 and 1994 I composed CG Music on my Amiga 500, 1000, 1200 under the pseudonym ulrick. If you want to listen one or more of those electronic musics you'll need a .mod (an Amiga music extension format) reader such as Deliplayer. Just click on the link below then click twice on the file. If you meet any problem, just pop up at ulrick@frequency.fr.

1990: Newwaveeve2: the first module that I did for an IRIS demo.

 

1992: Backup

 

1994: Oser: the style I have always enjoyed to follow when composing music.

 

2007: Backup: the first .xm (Modplug) zik I did for FRequency. It was presented at the 2007's main#2 demoparty. It is a revised version of my 1992's Amiga module above!

 

2008: demoparty: (provisory 02/2009 version) a very short music that uses a sample of jazzy-jungle drums section "BreakAmen" provided by the Renoise team. It also borrows from some speeches of my two daughters Zoé and Nina, 4 and 3 yeras old respectively. The mix is not very ggod and there's not mastering (I leave this for the future). Enjoy it anyway.

 

2009: raytro: (included in the intro, 03/2009) a 2mn music that uses midi samples, two of which are polished with reverb and delay effects. The synth is coded by @lx of FRequency. The video of the "raytro" intro is on youtube in case you'd like to share it with your friends.

 

2009: potatro: a music made with @lx for VIP 2010. Originally, the zik was composed in midi for the following 4k intro. I tried to have the .mp3 version consistent with the original, but honnestly, @lx and me find the original better.

 

All the other ziks I made between 1988 and 1994 will be posted shortly! Only two were submitted to competitions between musics listened. I'll manage to increase that rate.

 

For Game

 

I also had the opportunity to compose the songs of a computer game, "Explora III - Sous le signe du serpent", edited by Infomedia and available for Amiga and Atari ST. A fex screenshots are available from Lemon Retro Store here. The tunes are available from MirSoft here and, Unexotica there. An interview and a few screenshots were compiled by Blood, Largo and Ranx at their Alone in the Past's web site. Another Interview can be found at Amiga Music Preservation on when and why I started CGM. Finally, an interview in French on my short experience as CGM composer.

 

68000 Assembly code

 

I did intros and demos, of which one's screenshots can be seen here (Gfx by Deflector!). I am no longer coding in low-level languages such as ASM or C, C++, etc.
