The Scene
While programming on Atari I made some demos. These are mainly demos using sampled music (Your Body My Body, Garfield Demo – The Other Side of the Disk, Self Control Mix).
If you don’t know what is a demo, it’s a program which presents various effects (graphics, sound) and as a result viewers will fall down the proverbial dome :)
My demos were distinguished by extremely long time of playing digitalized music. Music consisted of sequentially played fragments cleverly arranged in such a way that the song could last even over 3 minutes, which gave a bitrate of 60kB/200 seconds, or about 300 bytes per
second, or 3kb.
