Chip music: Beat The Elite in the Demoscene
Casual talk I gave at the CoDaMe ART & TECH party in San Francisco. I’m embarrassed that I glossed over so many details, especially with an original member of Future Crew in the audience, but I hope that I sparked some fingers to get into (or back at) being creative using code as their crayons!
Also want to mention that Sit Up Straight Kids (music for the Binary Alchemy production) was a musical collab with my :|kREW mate Albert who released a great catalog of his stuff as mp3s/wax at bbpwc.com/tgnp020/

0h, and the tech difficulties that were solved last minute … a big hum would occur if both the audio and projector were plugged into any of the computers we were using for presentation. Not surprising since the projector cable was as long as the room and crossing over a bunch of cables and hung from the ceiling etc, impossible to fix. The solution I saw was to stream either the video or audio to another device, breaking the physical connection. I chose audio since it’s lower bandwidth and installed RemoteHD on my iPhone and the presentation computer. No more hum! However, the audio was behind the video since it was streaming. This was compensated for in VLC by setting the audio delay to -2500 milliseconds. I was able to play both Binary Alchemy by Northern Dragons and Elevated by RGBA & TBC in perfect sync on the big screen =)
