  • A Short History of The C-men

    cmen

    Julian of The C-men posted a little history of The C-men in time for their 10th anniversary show.

    An excerpt:

    Well, seems 10 years have gone by fast.

    Me and a guy called Sjors Trimbach started veejaying 11 years ago, somewhere in november. We did our first gig in the back of an old american musclecar, having 2 amigas on the backseat, projector set up outside on the deserted area of a waste disposal factory.

    We both met in artschool, at the media art department in Enschede and we had a nice stack there of amiga 4000 computers. Since I owned an amiga 1200, I taught Sjors about deluxepaint ( the animation program by electronic arts), and we did art installation stuff together (including some daft live pong installation in 98 : P )

    Sjors had a background in comics, and this was his opportunity to use his experience with that to do proper animation.

    At some point, some vj’s from Amsterdam gave a lecture at our school, and they showed their home made program mnu, which was written specially for the amiga.

    At the time I was making intricate animation stuff, and was frustrated about the fact that it couldn’t be altered once it was made, so I gave the program a go. And before we knew it, we got into veejaying.

  • eMod Universal Tracker Appeared

    ss

    CHIPFLIP has news of a new universal tracker in the works for Windows:

    eMod is being made with a vision to provide several tools to work with music modules of any format, across multiple platforms (amiga included of course!).

    for now, only the player tool has been implemented; other tools will include a ripper, editor/sequencer, a formats ‘encyclopedia’, repair tool, convertor, and some other stuff. it’s been WIP for about a year. i’m thinking about releasing it as shareware but most probably it will become open source upon the first stable release.

    this alpha release implements music playback for four amiga formats; future composer 1.0-1.3, future composer 1.4, delta music 2.x, and protracker 4-channel modules.
