For those who do not know what it is (demo scene).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

So the story behind this is , recently with a bit of nostalgia I started to watch few older demos on YT.
I was kinda surprised that scene is still alive and doing good. Moreover , they do amazing stuff nowadays.
IMO this can be now called some sort of art.
There are 100s of beautiful demos but I`ll just limit to few examples and the most stunning for me vid because of message ...

Message it shows (except ending) was kinda stunning to me ...
Plus , this actually might not look great in terms of graphics but it is a 64 K demo ! :O
 
Thanks for the reminder drygol. The best thing from the demoscene, is that there aren't any commercial interests involved. Just creativity and programming skills.

And especially Farbrausch are pure geniuses :)

Thanks for posting these. The demo scene guys are simply amazing.
Especially those 64k demos are leaving me completely speechless.

complete jaw drop ...
 
The former demo scene group Night55, designers of the Sonique audio player before Lycos bought it, got me into remixing and composing using tracker software. To this day I still use MadTracker as my primary sequencer. The demo scene is one of those niche subcultures that has remained grassroots throughout. If you want to see the very the cutting edge of computer graphics, programming, and music then watch some of the competition entries. I also recommend watching the old school demos (on an emulator if possible) and marvel at what people created when they were very restricted by technology unlike today. Chip tunes (insanely small song files, originally with lo-res 8-bit samples or less, influenced and were influenced by video game music in a reciprocal way.
