It seems that busy moments in everyone's schedules has really influenced production. In any case, we're glad to have even a small amount of music scene info to present. After solving a few administration problems, Faces in the Crowd is back again, led by Kal Zakath (John Townsend). John's computer bit the dust last month, and it put him out of the running for awhile. Welcome back! FITC features an interview with Deus Ex this week, as well as four song reviews. The "Amiga Debate" garbage is coming to a close, I am publishing two of the most meaningful replies I've had this last week. Thanks to all of you who had something to contribute. TraxWeekly now has AmusiC setting up for an Amiga musician's section. Help is needed, so if you can lend a hand, contact me. Groups are encouraged to send in columns every week; we will publish it, regardless of the music group. Enjoy.

New Tracker]-----------------------------------------[Jason Diamond]-- hi. my name's jason diamond and you might have noticed the little blurbs psi's had in traxweekly the past couple of weeks about me wanting suggestions for a new tracker. if not, hopefully you'll see this big blurb and decide to participate in the project. i'm writing a totally new tracker for musicians. this is my way of letting you know how much i enjoy the music that you all work so hard on. this will be for you. it will be free for anyone who wants to make music. i'm not planning on making a cent off of it. i want the tracker itself to be the easiest, most configurable possible. the interface has to be simple enough for beginners yet powerful enough for advanced users to be able to do anything they need. i plan on doing extensive testing of different types of interfaces with both rookie and veteran trackers in order to get it just right. in addition, there will be many cool features to make it the ideal tracking environment. here's a short list of some of the things i want to implement: o support for gus and sb cards o internal sampler o easy to use interface, st3 style, no mouse needed o all hotkeys user definable o hotkey presets: st3, ft2, mine, yours, etc o written in protected mode, virtually unlimited sample sizes o works under windows 95 o extended st3 style sample browser o support for all the popular formats, smp, wav, au, aif, iff, voc, etc o browser can extract samples from zip files, zips look like folders o definable color scheme o more than one song can be loaded at a time, cut and paste between them o linux port i'm not just writing a new tracker, i'm developing a whole new format. i think it's time that we get out of the 80's and go beyond the protracker command set. this may come as a shock to you but my format will not be protracker compatible. that means it won't be mtm, s3m, or xm compatible either. i'm starting from the ground up. it will be very similar to the current mod formats but with more advanced features and more options. i don't want there to be any thing in the way of your making great music. the composer should have total control and that's what i'm trying to give you. here's a short list of some of the major features of the new, as of yet unnamed, format. o exact tick control over when a command takes place o definable number of notes per "octave" o more than one command in an "event" o stereo samples o instruments with more than one sample o virtually unlimited order, patterns, tracks, and instruments o variable length tracks o tracks are assignable to patterns, no more block copying o optional info fields for indexing there's more, too. and nothing is set in stone. there's still time to get your suggestions in before i finalize everything and start work on the main code. as fun as this is going to be, i'm not just doing it for myself. this is for all you musicians out there. that's why i want your suggestions. you can mail them to me at diamond@deltanet.com or let me know yourself if you see me in #trax. my nick is mofochckn. yep, mofo chicken. don't ask. thanks to all the people who've already sent me suggestions. i received many good letters about ideas i hadn't even thought of. but i want more. so if you have anything at all you'd like to see in the tracker or the new format, no matter how small, let me know. thank you for taking the time to read this. i hope that i can give you all back something that is worth all of the great music you've given me. it'll be a while, though, so don't stop tracking! jason diamond aka mofo chicken diamond@deltanet.com [Editor's Note: I strongly recommend that you send your comments to Jason! It's been awhile since all of us as an entire community had an opportunity to get a tracker for our specs!] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- /-[The Amiga Debate: Part II]----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------/ --[1.

Well, i am _not_ into Amiga myself but why not let Amiga >dudes write in? The best we can do is learn from them and cool stuff like >that ... If you're not into amiga yourself, i'm quite sure that probably means you don't LISTEN to any of the current amiga music, which means your opinion would be totally unfounded. If you think nobody uses the MOD format in the world these days, guess again. >I agree that the .MOD format is totally outdated, by the way ... Yes, but you're confusing FORMATS with the actual MUSIC. A poor musician will make poor music, no matter what features are added to a tracker. >Third. The "best group" statement. Five Musiscians?? _no_ way! Why? >Because their music sucks! Yep, that's my narrow-minded-personal-opinion! Nice typo. Anyway, at least you REALIZE it's a narrow-minded-personal- opinion. I think I'd add shallow to that list too. Now, i can understand that people would not like FM's *style* sometimes, but i think ANYONE that says the music "sucks"...so definitively, is just plain wrong. How much FM stuff have you heard? Apparently not much. Even though i don't track for FM anymore, i still think it would be stupid of me to let a comment like this go by unnoticed. If you HAD listened to everything we've put out, i think you'd see that we've done some of the better dance-style modules as well, not just our normal realism/jazz/etc. tracks. I myself started out as a techno/house composer, and have followed the music and loved it since it all began.. (while most kids were watching sesame street, i was listening to kraftwerk). I think you should do a bit more research before you make judgement calls like that. >Psibelius on this point. I would say Radical Rhythms is a *damn* fine >group. It's German and they only make techno/house music. They created the >DMF format. I know they are very commercial these days, but in my opinion >that Cosmic dude really makes cewl music. I think Cosmic has quite a bit of talent from a dj point-of-view, but you have to be able to distinguish musician from dj. What alot of techno and house trackers do these days is hardly writing music.. overuse of loops and same old rehashed stock-techno riffs. that's NOT being a good musician. Of course, if they can mix all these things together well in interesting ways...then I'd say they have that unique dj/mixing skill. Anyhow, it's obvious where your interests lie. And quite possible that if you like radical rhythms, then you would dislike FM. Completely different group, any way you look at it. >There are others, offcourse. Personnaly i always download every file from: >Cosmic, Silent Mode (no-good remix!), and last but CERTAINLY not least >NEXUS of Pure Resistance. This Nexus guy makes the perfect music, trance- >alike, in the style of the Harthouse label. Again, it's obvious where your interests are. I agree Silent Mode is a great musician, but the last song I'd think of his to compliment would be a remix of a prodigy song.. Okay, I just wanted to touch on a few things in response to this. buhbye. -bh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --[2. Music and Musicians]----------------------------------------[Dodger]-- from C9425527@cc.newcastle.edu.auFri Nov 3 16:04:54 1995 Date: Fri, 03 Nov 1995 18:49:40 +1100 From: "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?D=F6dger._Ye?= King oF Fat Bastards!" To: gwie@mailhost2.csusm.edu Subject: amiga debate comments for traxweekly 34 Umm... just thought i would add my comments on the amiga scene debate thats raging... I personally learnt how to use st3 (and now ft2) because i DIDNT have the skill to write decent music in 4 tracks... plain and simple... now some (most?) prolly think i still cant write decent music... but in my opinion my music is certainly better than if i was forced to use only 4 tracks... I have A LOT of respect for 4 channel musicians... they could (and still can) write toons that are better than some multichannel pieces.... but to compare the two with one being better than the other is just plain wrong... tis like comparing chamber music to symphonic arrangments... BOTH are good and require skill... and one certainly has more parts than the other... but that doesnt make one better than the other. On the other side... i dont think its lazy to write in multi- channel.... i find if i have to cram everything in to 4 tracks then this causes you to focus more on the "tricks" than on the music... i have never understood the term "overuse of tracks" ... if someone wants to take an extra track to write a part instead of squeezing it into another track then thats simply their own personal choice... we are no longer limited to the mod format... this HAS to be a plus for the music scene... MUSIC is what we are writing.. not tracks... who cares whether the person has tracked correctly or used to many tracks or used too many not enuf effects.... aslong as it sounds good.. there are a lot of BAD tracks there... be they in multichannel or in 4 channel... but there is also a lot of GOOD tracks there aswell.... But its how they sound... how they make you feel.... what emotions and images they provoke that makes them GOOD not that they were tracked correctly ... Anyway... enough of my ramblings... The amiga SCENE does produce quality music.. regardless of what format they choose to present it in... and to close them off from the rest of us can be likened to racism... we are ALL musicians, people... We are all musicians. thanks Dodger. The Artful Dodger.

It's unfortunate that we weren't able to make it to the presses last week. But, it's nice to be back. Hopefully you'll enjoy this week's column. We have an interview with Deus Ex of Chill Prods and VSL, and three tunes reviewed and recommended by Atlantic. Hope you find FITC informative and interesting. - John Townsend - Kal Zakath / Inferno - FITC Editor Table of Contents: -= Articles 1. Editorial / Introduction ... Kal Zakath -= Interviews 1. Interview - Deus Ex ... Mdark -= Reviews 1. In Motion ... Atlantic 2. She Speaks to Me ... Atlantic 3. Tea Cosy ... Atlantic -= Conclusion / Closing Words ... Kal Zakath =========================================================== <> EDITORIAL AND INTRODUCTION <> =========================================================== The "Evolution" of Faces in The Crowd - where have we come? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I first started FITC a few months ago, I had no idea how quickly it would grow. I had a limited vision, initially, of just simply doing an interview a week for TraxWeekly for as long as they wanted me to. I hoped to, in some small way, aid the aspiring musicians of the scene. Now, with the help of Master of Darkness, Atlantic, and DennisC, FITC has become a many-faceted production. We do interviews, tracking tips, reviews and scene commentary. As I put the finishing touches on this week's column, I was just thinking about where exactly FITC has come. As a few months and quite a few columns have passed, I am left wondering about the reader response to FITC. Is interviewing composers and reviewing their tunes enough to help make them popular and get them recognition. So, I thought I'd send out a little question to all of you who follow the music scene and have read FITC. Have our interviews and reviews convinced you to check out at least one or two songs/composers you would normally overlook? If so, were you glad you did? I'd love to hear what you think about what we've been doing... Are we going about this correctly? To know how to serve the scene, we need to know what the people in the scene are actually thinking. Please write me and let me know what you're thinking. I'd be happy to publish your letters in next week's FITC. Until then, so long, and hope you enjoy FITC. - Kal Zakath =========================================================== <> FITC INTERVIEW DEPARTMENT <> =========================================================== -== Faces In The Crowd * Interview #11 ==- [Interviewer] Master Of Darkness / AIM Higher / FITC <> maz@io.org [Interviewee] Deus Ex / Chill and VSL <> john.taite@realm.tor250.org (edited by Kal Zakath / FITC) [start of interview] Mdark - OK, so due to the fact that my server is screwed we will be interviewing another VSL member this week. Actually, this is not a bad idea, since their first ever musicdisk just came out. So this week we have an interview with Deus Ex. Mdark - Hello, Deus Ex. How bout 'ya tell us a little about yourself. Deus Ex - The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm 30 years old. I say this 'cuz most people freak out because I'm that old. Anyway, I've been tracking for about a year now, but I've been writing synth music for almost ten. I am the founder of Chill productions, and a currently a member of VSL, as you said. Mdark - 30 years old. Yeah, to some you're an old geezer of sorts :). So do they really bug you that much about it? You gotta admit that you _are_ a little past the general audience. Although I think that all types of age ranges should be accepted. Deus Ex - Thanx for the geezer comment. :) Well, most people are too polite to actually bug me, but some people seem to never let up on it. I've been noticing, though, that there are a lot of older trackers out there. I won't give out his age, but DefeX is actually older than me, and I believe he's one of the better trackers out there. Mdark - Indeed. And I do know, but like you I'll keep it a secret 'cuz I believe in privacy :). So, about this group Chill... Why did you start it? Deus Ex - I started it 'cuz I was writing this music, and at the time was getting flack for writing techno/trance/ambient stuff, for using a GUS and for using FastTracker. So I thought, since the other groups wouldn't look at me, why not start my own? This way, I can have better control of the group and what it releases. Quality is very important, and -- no disrespect for newbies -- but I just don't want tracks that aren't polished. Mdark - Hmm. That's a good point. I notice one of the biggest problems for newbies these days is that they rush their work out. They'd rather release something they made in two hours, rather than wait a month. To some extent, I agree because sometimes you only get momentary inspiration. Mdark - So, is Chill local here to Toronto and Canada or have you expanded overseas? Deus Ex - Well, we are local. My WHQ is Sight & Sound BBS here in Toronto, and I have a few distro's both in 416 and 905 area codes. I am just starting to get my overseas connections. I just recently obtained a European HQ in the Netherlands, and we have a distro there as well. Basically, that's what I've been doing for the past two weeks -- doing the footwork for Chill. But, I can honestly say, I'm getting tired of it. I'd rather be tracking. So, with that in mind, anybody out there want to be a courier? :) Mdark - :). That's pretty impressive. But actually, what I meant was your members. Are they local? Deus Ex - Well, this is the best part. As of a week ago, Chill was only myself. I had DefeX, but he left, 'cuz I disappeared for a while. (long story, don't want to get into it :) But now, The Third Man is a member, and there's a mini disc coming in the near future, with guest artists. I won't mention their names, but anyone in the T.O. scene will know them! So, now to answer your question... Yes, it's local, but I'm not opposed to members outside of T.O. Mdark - That's good. You always have to have an open mind. Actually I've seen a lot of ignorant (or at least unknowledgable) people in the T.O. scene. They just don't know how many other groups and composers there are out there. :). Anyways, you mentioned you like to do trance/ambient/techno type stuff. Have you done anything else of note? Deus Ex - Well, if you are talking about demo... no. Now don't you all slam me for this, but I'm not a fan of demo, I actually think it's sorta tired. I think in some cases a demo, would be better off with something a little more hard hitting, or a little more abstract, like ambient. I'd also like to say that I hate to label my tracks. I have a lot of influences from acid jazz, funk, and techno, to hill out. And although you might see "Trance" and "Techno" in the .DIZ for my tracks, I think you'll find a lot of those influences coming out. I don't like to limit myself to what's already been done, and everytime I sit down to write a piece, I am really trying to develop my own style of music. Mdark - Well, I think that everybody is entitled to his/her opinion on the varying styles out there. And you seem to think that demo is better than everything else according to the way the scene dictates it? I'm not 100% sure that's true. In listening to the vast amount of music that I do, most of the things I really enjoy are both demo and techno (etc.). Anyways, what do you hope to achieve by releasing all this music? Deus Ex - Well, just one more thought on the other topic: I'm talking about my first experiences in the scene, but now I see a positive change in the scene, and especially here in T.O. There's some really good (commercial quality even!) work here in T.O. What do I hope to achieve? Well, to be honest, I've been through university, and I'm just staring a business doing presentation graphics for Interior design firms, and architectural companies. So music, I'm afraid, is just a very passionate hobby. If a record contract ever came my way, I'd propably be tempted to go for it, but I can't dedicate much more of my time to it than what I am right now. Mdark - Yeah, that's good. You know where your priorities are - maybe someday I'll realize that too :). Mdark - Well, our time is quickly coming to an end, so is there anything you would like to add/say? Deus Ex - I'm sure I'll think of something later, but for now...no. Mdark - Well... I guess that means we'll have a part two of our conversation. I'm really sorry we had to cut this so short, and I do thank you for your time. Deus Ex - No. Thank _you_, Faces in the Crowd is something that is very important in the scene. Finally, it gives us unknowns a chance at stardom =) Mdark - Thanks for the plug :). Well, I guess that's it then. Next week actually I believe we might be having Defex himself if I can get him. So long, dude! Deus Ex - L8tr. [end of interview] - Here's where you can check out some of the tunes of Deus Ex... [start of release list] Deus Ex releases his Music through both CHiLL and VSL. Some of his releases are listed below: World1 Statik Symphone in Our Secret Place Theme for a Desolate Place Dirty to the Hardcore Hydrochloric Wasteland Accelerate Trance Canada Statik'95 (statikling mix) Harmonial His releases are available at the above mentioned boards or via SDC: FTP://ftp.uniserve.com/pub/gamesnet/Chill/ [end of release list] =========================================================== <> FITC REVIEW DEPARTMENT <> =========================================================== here is the reviews section for this weeks issue.. i had the section narrowed to about a half-dozen that i thought were the best, but i couldn't even bring myself to recommend half of them. "In Motion" by Warp of The Surrounders Email: unknown Style: Demo/Synth/Rock Format: MTM Found: /demos/incoming/music/songs/mtm/sr-inmot.zip Released: 10-28-95 Comments: Funky styled multitracker module from Warp. Nice groove, with an almost new-age sort of feel. Uses sound wisely and conservatively - has a full sound with only 12 sams. Use of effects in the melody shows ability and experience. Maybe too repetitive in structure. "She Speaks to Me" by Ng Pei Sin Email: unknown Style: Demo/Newage/Synth Format: S3M Found: /demos/music/songs/s3m/s/shespeak.zip Released: 11-26-94 Comments: Chord-centered tune with nice moods and progressions. Has an uplifting, emotional nature. Solid percussion and melody. Song, unfortunately, doesn't sound very different or novel though. "Tea Cosy" by Mick Rippon Email: unknown Style: Demo/Ambient/Mellow Format: S3M Found: /demos/incoming/music/songs/s3m/tea_cosy.zip Released: 06-18-95 Comments: Another well-tracked tune out of the mind of Mick Rippon of Austrailia. This song sounds mellow and laidback with a very catchy and appealing theme. A badly looped organ sample and a little repetition are the only things to bring it down technically, but neither of these things are a big problem. Overall, a unique and kewl tune. Atlantic's Note: Can you all please put your email addys in your songs? Surely there still can't be people in the world without email addys. =) [Editor's Note: I downloaded one of Mick Rippon's more recent tunes, and he now does list an e-mail address: rip@hunterlink.net.au I have been greatly impressed by his tunes, and I plan to interview him for next week's FITC. -KZ] =========================================================== <> CLOSING WORDS <> =========================================================== Thank you again for reading FITC and thus performing a great service to all the aspiring composers and newbies in the scene. Next week we hope to have more interviews (possibly with AmusiC and Mick Rippon, among others; maybe I can even find someone willing to interview _me_ :>) and reviews, as always... In addition, we'll probably have some tracking tips for 'ya, as well. I know Atlantic's working on this, and I might even try to write a small tracking tips column myself. Maybe some FT2 tricks, as well as some general composing techniques. Intermediate tracking tips, so to speak... Not quite as complex as advanced music theory, but not so insultingly simple as how to do echo tracks. Until then, hope you have a good week and see you next week in TraxWeekly #35. - Kal Zakath / Inferno - FITC Editor --------------------------------------------------------------------------- /-[Group Columns]---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------/ --[Epinicion Productions]-------------------------------------------------- ___ _______ _____________ ______ ______ _______ ______ _______ ___________ | // \\ \\_____) \\_____) \\_____) \\ \\ | : / o \ o \ \ \ \ \ \ o \ \: // _____// / \ : / \ _____/ \ / : \. \\_______/ _//______\\_|__//______\\_____//______\\_____//____| /: : \\____\\ ______________________________ oT /___//| |________________________// e p i n i c i o n \\________________| -Epinicion has released it's sixth music disk, "BLT," featuring 42 songs by countless numbers of excellent musicians.
