#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's about the #music!

This time completely with a rant about German public-sector broadcasters, their obsession with the AFD far right party, and its electors. And of course and most importantly — Music:

- FLiNTA: #Chorals
- dark #popMusic from #Mexico
- playful souly #HipHop
- distorted #DrillnBass
- #140Bass i.e. from #Peru
- #electro from #Denmark
- #experimental electronical music
- hefty #EggPunk + #RiotGrrrl
- #AlternativeRock
- #maritimeNoir
- #Chansonesque #pianoMusic

All that, while running the new album from #AdrianSherwood in the back. Cuz' we can.
Some of the tracks played are released under the #CreativeCommons license, and some can NOT be found on #Sporify and the likes. Which actually is a good thing.

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻

And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

Radio Irrtum! kommt näher → Samstag, 02.08.2025, 20:00 isses soweit auf Alex Berlin (FM 91MHz/DAB+ K.7D / Stream URL oben).

Also die seltsame Funk(el)sendung, in der planetenumfassende Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforscht werden.

Um einen gewissen Rant bezüglich des Umgangs der ARD mit der AFD und ihren Wähler:innen komme ich allerdings nicht herum. Davon abgesehen steht selbstverständlich Musik im Mittelpunkt:

- FLINTA: Choräle
- Dunkler Pop aus Mexiko
- verspielter Hiphop
- übersteuerter Drill 'n Bass
- 140Bass ua. aus Peru
- dänischer Elektro
- experimentel Elektronisches
- Egg- und Riot Grrrl Punk
- Alternative Rock
- Maritime Noir
- Chansonesque Klaviermusik

Im Hintergrund wird die neue Platte von Adrian Sherwood laufen. Warum auch nicht?

Creative Commons Tracks hamma dabei; sowie viel Musik, die NICHT auf Spotify ist.

Youtube still helps copyright abusers massively.

No, not the ones who upload like 5s song fragments or even NO SONG AT ALL, but those who claim "DMCA TAKEDOWN!" for certain songs even if there is no music AT ALL in that video.
Yes, no music at all. Let that sink in.

As a video uploader you have no chance to counter the claim but as claiming party, you do not have to prove anything! Just say "copyright infringement" and boom - all the money that was made with that poor uploader's video goes to you instead.

It is a scandal, seriously. And this bXllshXt is known for AGES. And no one cares. One more reason to go away from YT - but easier said then done, if you wanna make a living from your videos. Like Music Mongoose, an ex BBC music journalist, an excellent one btw.

He explains it in detail:

StingRay, one of the most recognized Demoscene coders – from Berlin nevertheless – has passed away. This got "official" more or less Today (in June 2025), however; he passed already in 11/2024 - if the information available for now is right.

Because many of his earlier demos are not at Youtube, or in 240p only, or in a wrong aspect radio… I decided to capture one from 2003 that still looks great and where he was coding (together with scicco).
It's only a emulator capture, but I captured it in its original 50 Hz refresh rate – still "lame" (i.e. still captured in 16:9, just with a 4:3 image in it), but at least something.

https://video.ploud.fr/w/pjrVSATEBdyVxaorYzMiAF

So you may have an idea what Stingray was into (and also how typical Amiga Demos looked like in the early 2000s/end 90s).

Here are the meta data:

Amiga AGA Demo:
My Definition In Blue by Scarab. Released at Symphony 2003.
Code by StingRay and scicco; GFX: scicco + influence; Music: Puryx

That's a real shame. Thanks to the #Mate folks for still being active.

I'm wondering: Any other opinions about what DE could be usable? Or which one totally not?

@trib@aus.social @meejah@mastodon.social @lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz @Salty@mastodon.nz @jdmcg@mastodon.nz

This is such an annoying conservative view, saying basically: Don't let the world spin around: Everybody uses it - it must be good.
Aber come on Pro Tools in music bizz? Are you living in the 90s? I know as a fact that those who still have to use Pro Tools curse it every day because sometime ALLWAYS doesn't work as supposed (I'm talking about a world famous studio in Berlin where David Bowie recorded).

Things like Blender wouldn't have a chance with your kind of "pragmatic" approach.

What I call pragmatic: When people can learn from a generic approach so they can adopt their knowledge to whatever tool by whatever maker they later use. Instead of forcing them to use only tools by a certain tool maker so they will never learn how to switch to another one.

#demoscene #retroComputing #c64

Wow! What a technical (but also stylish) achievement!

Never seen what this demo shows on a C64. and I've seen A LOT.

The first part is already amazing with completely borderless hires pictures. The borderless thing is: The writable screen area of a C64 is surrounded by a border (Top, Down, Left, Right) which is quite large but can only change color. Now people could change the color per scanline, so there are "copper effects" possible - horizontal often metal looking bars in the "border zone". People also found out you may place sprites (hardware overlays independent of the running graphics mode) within the border area and with a trick make them visible there (Wizball was one of the first games that did that - in 1987). But the C64 has only 8 sprites which are quite small, especially when they are hires. Showing those completely borderless images means a lot of beam racing and video chip register fuckery - respect for the perfect execution.

But the second part is, what really blows my mind.
The C64 has only so much bandwidth to bring individual pixels on the screen. Sure there is lots of (charset) trickery happening here, but this looks like very decent full blown 50Hz VHS noise glitching all over the screen in a way that makes the colors look like FAR more than the 16color palette of the C64 can normally provide. In a way that makes a 16bit system from the later 80s (Amiga, ST, Archie) blush. Totally smooth and visually more hires appearing than this actually is. Just wow!

Yeah it gets boring after some minutes because nothing new comes in, but still. Breathtaking. Really!

Congrats at Extend who did this demo

This Youtube capture is taken from a real C64 video output which makes this close (not similar) to a CRT experience. That's why I recommend it hard to watch it there - unless you have an own real CRT. That with a real c64 would be the perfect way to exoerience this. In this case the download of (and the discussion about) the demo can be found i.e. on Pouet here:

Have phun!

@BeAware@social.beaware.live

Ah, ok. That's actually not too bad for a CEO.
Thanks for the info!

Sorry, but what da hell is #flipboard.com ?!

Got a follow request from there at my German Mastodon account.
Random 3 letter account name, no bio, no avatar images, 48 follower but zero content, and, as already mentioned, flipboard.com as instance (this is a "news story aggregator"), which at the very first step wants me to download an app for it.

APP AT MY BEHIND!

Maybe I'm the asshole here, but my "instant block" reflex got the better of me ;)
