• demo Windows The Legend of Sisyphus by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• It often happens that on the same material Navis and I have a different interpretation of the story in the demo, and this case is no different. My interpretation (which was imposed in the vocals) also derives from the loop in the myth of Sisypuhs, but is expressed as the evergoing search of ones sexual preference and identity (in the voice of Sisyphus), in a battle against the world’s narrow mindedness and bigotry (in the voice of Hades) with a pinch of distraction (in the voice of Merope, Sisyphus’ wife).
  
  Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along ;)
  
  [Hades]
  
  Rolled back to the bottom
  the stone is standing still
  My previous iteration
  is waiting there uphill
  
  [Sysiphus]
  
  I've made no sense
  Oh I don't know
  My innocence
  was lost the day Ι looked inside me
  
  From boys to girls
  and back again
  It's so intense
  the way I doubt if you can see me
  
  Was I this way
  or I was made
  a role to play
  in every chapter of my journey
  
  From up to down
  deep underground
  a thorny crown
  my prize for looking past the red line
  
  [Hades]
  
  Rolled back to the bottom
  the stone is standing still
  My previous iteration
  is waiting there uphill
  
  The perils of your journey
  a lot but far apart
  hardships and temptations
  my gifts as you depart
  
  And once you cross the treeline
  the boulder disappears
  a prophecy repeating
  to bolster all your fears
  
  your fate has been decided
  ten centuries ago
  now rest up for a minute
  and down again you go
  
  [Merope]
  
  Life in Circular Motion
  
  
  Also, a small look behind the scenes, the actor did not actually sing these lyrics. I have no idea what he’s saying/singing (or even if he’s singing at all). I was given the end result of the animation sequence and I wrote the lyrics to sync as close as possible the mouth movements.

• Leia in fact asked me if the theme of the demo was related to the recent wildfires in Athens (which is not as the visuals for the demo had been completed months earlier than that), however Leviathan lives in the area that got burnt. The night of the fire he was at home composing for the track, while having one eye and ear out the window in case he needed to evacuate his home so he doesn't get burnt alive.
  
  Fortunately for him, the fire stopped about a click away from his home.
  
  And @sesse, i missed the refugees mention in our convo in the stream chat. I too get a strong "uprooting of people from their home" vibe in the scene with the buffalo and the rising human models. In fact the vocal chant in the background is an homage to that (though it pertains to a much much older uprooting in the greek history). I'm not sure that can be construed as a political message though.
  
  But in any case, I'm happy that people noticed that in this particular scene, and not the fact that the buffalo has two penises :P

• demo Windows Number One/Another One by Carillon & Cyberiad [web] & Fairlight [web]
• Massive.. trully massive demo! Attention to detail all over the place, in your face design, fantastic soundtrack, a myriad homages to other demos and groups and self-references. A trully worthy winner.
  
  What's even more important is that it participated in a very strong competition with excellent prods.. and here's to hoping that it will convince both dormant and new sceners to step up and make future compos as exciting (if not more) as this one was.

  Amazing regardless of the couple of touches of garishness here and there.
  Holid: Any psilocybin or DMT-induced inspiration behind the prod? Please confirm/deny.

  
  
  Denied :P . Although we too often wonder whether navis is under the influence of mind altering substances.

  rage: Doesn't run on my FX-6300 GTX780 machine, not even close.. is this the kind of demo you only watch from youtube?

  
  
  This demo requires about 6GB of GPU ram to run, and in order to view it realtime at 1080p at 60fps, you'd need a 1080ti.

• tomkh, actually the story has nothing to do with AI or machines becoming more human like. It's actually the exact opposite, i.e. humans becoming more robot like. Living on the fast lane, making short term relationships only to terminate them via social media, and breeding uncontrollably, more than this planet can handle.
  
  So yeah, the track is not sung by robots ;)
  
  ..all in a cute wrapping paper
