Trying to track down obscure Amiga demo
category: general [glöplog]
I saw this demo back in the first half of the 1990s, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called nor who made it, and nor can I find it.
All I know is that it had:
1. Several HAM images shown in it - I'm assuming it was original HAM6 so not AGA, but not sure.
2. At one point, several single-bitplane filled circles fly around the screen creating extra colours when they overlap, as Amiga mixed bitplanes do. I can't remember if it was just five or more.
3. The tune stood out to me: it wasn't fast-paced or anything, but more slower and even melancholy, and by the end of the playing time, which I think was longer than usual, maybe ten minutes, it got slower and slower and ended with a final chord as if delivered on a piano.
I know this is very vague, and I'm going solely by memory, but I'd love to track down this demo again.

While i'm sure this is probably not the demo you are looking for, your song description reminded me of http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=2993
Sorry, it's not.
I thought the multiple HAM images would've helped, as they would've stood out - I don't think many Amiga demos used those.

It would possibly help if you mentioned what the images were? Otherwise, its all just a bit vague
I got the impression that one of the images was of a aeroplane or a Space Shuttle or something, and another was filled with colourful objects (possibly on a green hill, not sure), but that's all I remember seeing. All I know is that they had HAM fringing on them.
You don't remember how many circles!?!?! Ach... that's the whole POINT $%^&*!

Sounds like a trackmo from 1993 or later (which you can search for here), but HAM pics were more popular before that. Bound to be a UK demo? And circles so I guess the usual suspects? :)
Can you record a beatbox of the song and link? We have nothing to go by otherwise
If you could describe the HAM fringing more accurately, I might be able to identify the actual pictures used. Was it red or green bleeding?
I have no idea. I barely remember what was in the images, let alone the specifics of the HAM bleeding.
I have scoured both ECS and AGA demos from Pouet from around 1991-94 (I'm certain it wasn't AGA but still covering all bases) but I haven't found it yet.
