The first three issues were released in July, August, and October 1998, between Hugi Diskmag 11 and 13. This is a pure newsletter solely containing most recent news about the PC demo scene. Pure information with no extravagant writing style. I thought this would be useful as I get a lot of news for Hugi, but since Hugi is not released *that* often, the news items are already a bit old when they are published. In this way I hope to help both our news agents to get their news spread faster and our readers to get fresher news. I plan to release this newsletter in an irregular manner, depending on the amount of news I have got, on the Hugi Mailinglist. To subscribe, send any mail to hugi-subscribe@egroups.com. At the same time this file will be uploaded to the Hugi Web-site (http://www.hugi.de/). /Adok :: news :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The FMOD 2.23 soundsystem by FireLight (known from #coders) has been released. It features playback routines for various module formats and is Windows-based. http://www.zip.com.au/~fl/ Maturefurk, the winners of the Assembly '99 3d accelerated demo competition, have NOT collaborated with the party organizers, unlike rumours that are being spread in the scene say. The cause for this rumours was that the owner of Maturefurk's mother company Remedy Ent., Gore, and the Assembly main organizer, Abyss, are members of the same demo group, Future Crew. Eetu/Maturefurk aka Frank/Orange told us confronted with these accusitions: "Gore owns a bit of Remedy. Remedy owns a bit of Futuremark. Maturefurk is a group that consists for the most part of Futuremark employees who like to do demos in their sparetime." There's nothing wrong with that. Also, the fact that Maturefurk were allowed to submit their demo 12 hours after the official submission deadline is nothing special, as, according to Abyss, several other entries were accepted after the deadline, too. Furthermore, some people had mixed feeling about a screen in Maturefurks's winner demo, Virhe, that showed the Futuremark logo and said 'With kind permission from Futuremark'. According to Eetu, this "is referring to them letting us go with no notice. In fact we were in a bar wed-thu night and got the idea 'goddammit let's make a demo' - we asked our boss right away if it would be all right if we took 2 days off (he was in the same bar) and he said, sure, go ahead. We thought it was cool and wanted to give some thanks." Two news items about the Spantobi Family from www.scene-central.com: 1. "The Swedish demogroup Spantobi Family added a new divine superstar coder today, Scoon. Radon, who is one of the other coders in the group, is moving in with Thy Pyroo in Uppsala/Sweden to study and hopefully get some work done..." Signed: Thy Pyroo. 2. "I'm searching for pixel artists for the group Spantobi Family. I'm currently the only member that concentrates on pixeling and hires, therefore you (the artist!) should, in different ways, be a great source of inspiration. Visit my homepage if you're interested.." Signed: gso.

Jogeir Liljedahl was the composer behind such massive Amiga MOD hits as "Guitar Slinger", "Mystified", "Face Another Day", "Out of Silence", "G-Comp", "Physical Presence" and too many others to mention. He has won several awards and prizes at Amiga demo- and music-conventions and for years been one of the driving forces behind the entire free MOD music movement that started around 1987 on the Amiga computer. He started the music-production group "Noiseless" in the early 90's and they produced such music-disks as "Ambrozia", "Dizzy Tunes", "Dizzy Tunes 2", "Full Moon" and others. For years, Jogeir wanted to publish a CD with his music, but he lacked the money to get the project off the ground. But in early 1999, Bjorn Lynne, an old friend and also an Amiga musician, stepped in and offered to release Jogeir's CD on his "LynneMusic Productions" label. Bjorn Lynne was known as "Dr.Awesome" and part of the demo-group "Crusaders" in the Amiga scene back in the late 80's and early 90's. Bjorn "Dr.Awesome" Lynne has since then set up a small record label and mailorder business specialising on music CDs by musicians from the Amiga demo scene. Bjorn also writes music for computer games and has released several CD albums, too. He decided to help Jogeir get his CD released, and in August 1999 the CD was published on Bjorn's label LynneMusic productions. Other artists CDs available through LynneMusic are Chris Huelsbeck, Allister Brimble, Adam "Scorpik" Skorupa, Gustaf "Lizardking" Grevberg and others. Jogeir Liljedahl's first CD, titled "The Wanderer", is only available to buy online or through mail order. To buy online, visit http://www.lynnemusic.com/. To purchase by mail-order, write to Bjorn Lynne / Longlands House / Wakefield Road / Ossett WF5 9JS / ENGLAND for details.

They will pick up people from all over their travel route which starts in Switzerland (Zuerich, Aarau, Bern, Basel) going trough France (Mulhouse) to Germany (Karlsruhe, Frankfurt) to Jena.

News from Darkness/Imphobia: Darkness/Imphobia, in cooperation with Dan Wright/Fusecon (founder of what later became the Hornet Archive), is curently working on the final touch of what is supposed to be the ultimate scene audio CD compilation. This professionally manufactured audio CD, due to be released around end september/early october under the name "audiophonik", will include original tracks by some of the scene past and present most talented musicians such as Moby, Vic, Scorpik, Necros, Zodiak, Lizarking and many others and is said to be available for a very cheap price. If you wish to get any more information about that CD or to be noticed when the CD is out of the press, feel free to email Darkness (darkness@ping.be). News from Barman/Capsule^Centolos: The Arroutada Party 7 will be held in Spain on October 9-11. Visit http://www.arroutada.ddns.org/ for more information. Hugi #16 reported that the French Atari ST magazine Toxic Mag had been stopped by its former main editor ST Survivor, who is now the main editor of the UnderCover MagaScene, due to lack of support. The Beast of Typhoon wants to add that this true, but: "I'm the new editor of Toxic Mag and I plan to release next issues. In fact, I was the editor of this French disk magazine but, due to the army, ST Survivor took my place in 1998, during 10 months. Now I'm active on Atari and Toxic Mag is still alive. Moreover, some articles of Toxic Mag are now translated into English since issue 17. So, it's more understandable by non-French readers." http://www.chez.com/toxicmag/index.html News from Nytrik/Cocoon: Tenshu joined Cocoon. Cocoon are working on a demo for LTP 3 (to be held in Paris, France in the end of August). They plan to do something "really big" before they stop demos, which will happen pretty soon ("maybe the best demo ever"). Gengis is coming back and will work with them on this prod. "Isn't that juicy?" Nytrik comments. News about Hugi: The deadline for all contributions (articles, graphics, music, news, etc.) for Hugi #17 is August 23rd, 1999. The magazine is planned to be released in early September. There are already 800 kbyte of articles. Yet some sections lack articles. These are the partyline (1 party report so far), the graphics corner (3 articles so far), the German-language demoscene corner (3 articles so far), and the German-language miscellaneous corner (0 articles so far). Specials in this issue will be a Windows coding tutorial for experienced DOS demo coders and a coverage of Assembly '99. We are looking for Russian native speakers to translate English articles from Hugi #17 to Russian.
