The music mix of all familiar caption from classic demos was cool. Software rendering was interesting to, with various effects, noisy patterns and cool metaballs, although in many cases was pretty slow on my ten years old CPU :)
I wonder if this needs some AMD Ryzen and utilizes many many cores or something to keep in pace.

After 25 years of absence, I figured a new release was due. Hope you enjoy it, making this was therapeutic for me :)
Can you spot all the demoscene references? (25 in total)

Recurring items are not montioned again unless very much different enough to warrant mentioning it again.

sound: around the 1:07 mark: i hear samples (once) from the demo Contrast/Oxygene (1996)
video fx: own implementation of yellow metaballs. might reference either Jizz/TBL (1997), Astral Blur/TBL (1997), or many others

video FX: arond the 1:35 mark a text that has a similar structure like Stash/TBL (1997) (around the 2:20 mark)

Amazing that all this is retro, but the idea worked well!

It's ugly at moments, but it somehow works as a package, kinda punk

well it didn't work for me, unlike the other software-rendered prod :)

Yeah that is actually me singing, but somewhat warped, tuned and pitched down. I tried bending the original vocals to my will, but I couldn't get them clean enough, even with all the AI stem separation at my disposal.

Except for the chorus ("live like you never" etc), those are the originals, but I had to bury it deep in the mix just to mask all the artifacts (had it pitched up to match the songs key, which caused some nasty glitches) .
