First Words .......................................................... : Hiya all! I can now understand why the editorials in weekly newsletters that are focused on a rather small range of topics are often very short: there's really not much to say. :) But this issue was released two weeks after the previous one. So shouldn't be there more to say? Well, there is more to say - in the news section. So to draw a logical conclusion: There's nothing to say in the editorial of a newsletter. :) - Adok (Hugi Core & Royal Family) . :........................................................................ .. News ................................................................. : RBi music vs. DJ Isabelle. * Morphine of rbi music wrote in an open letter that he had discovered that music from his fellow rbi member Neophite had been ripped. A person called DJ Isabelle offered the track for download on her homepage with the credits changed to her name. Morphine contacted her, she apologized, and she promised to take down the song and put up a public excuse. But Morphine could not find the public excuse on her updated website. * Morphine submitted this open letter to Hugi for its 20th issue as well as various scene news sites. It was immediately published on Orange Juice (http://www.ojuice.net/). Similar to the case of Jay Newingham, who had claimed tunes from various top scene musicians to be his own, this resulted in protest from various demosceners against the rip. According to Orange Juice a lot of people posted complaints to DJ Isabelle's guestbook, which she consequently deleted. * DJ Isabelle now had an open letter herself published on no-error (http://www.error-404.com/noerror/). Herein she says that she received this tune by someone else via email in Fasttracker format with the plea to "finish" it. She thought that the track was already "more than finished", so she only made some "personal changes" to it and then uploaded it to her website. After she had got mail from rbi music, she removed it immediately. * Morphine thereupon told Jeroen of http://www.demoscene.org/ that the track was not in XM (Fasttracker) format and that there had not been a single change to the song in the version DJ Isabelle offered on her website compared to Neophite's original. * What makes this rip-affair stand out from others is that (according to both DJ Isabelle's homepage and Morphine's open letter) DJ Isabelle was already featured on a Dutch radio programme. The song of which rbi music says that it's ripped was not played. But DJ Isabelle's way of acting is still questionable for someone with a semi-professional music career (no matter whether Morphine's or her own version of the story is true). * DJ Isabelle's website: http://www.sandrabullock.de/ * RBi music website: http://www.rbi-music.com/ Posted by Adok, based on news from Morphine, DJ Isabelle, Yes and Jeroen. Hornet soon back to full functionality? * On comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos, Andy Voss (Phoenix of Hornet) reports: "I have given www.hornet.org a little facelift, just to keep it up to date. The archive is still closed, and the page content has been further simplified. I (phoenix@hornet.org) should be the contact for any content on the page. You can still contact r3cgm@hornet.org about site administration (e.g. if the web site down for some reason). Some new links have been added, and old ones refreshed. I'd like to keep the number of links around where it is now, but am certainly open to suggestions for better ones. That's it for now. Further, minor updates may occur from time to time." * The site says: "Under re-construction". May this implicate that hornet.org will return to its full functionality, including uploading files? To this, Phoenix told Adok on IRC: "Basically, nothing is ruled impossible at this point, but re-opening the site will take a lot of time and effort. I'll add some more info to the web page as time goes by." * Check out the site at http://www.hornet.org/. Posted by Adok, based on news from Phoenix.

Acumen releases Lore (extended remix). * This message by Acumen reached me via email: "Hi there! .. I`ve just released an extended remix of an earlier remix I did from one of my most favorite Warder`s songs, Lore. This release is only a "Re-release", and hopefully I will be able to finish a own NEW tune with`in May 2000. This new remix came out of the blue, since a week ago I was asked to do a longer remix of Lore so that it could be used in Unreal Tournament`s "DM-Lore" level by James Neave ... well, I thought I might aswell make it out as a public release. Both IT and MP3 version are provided. See ya later! : )" * http://www.kolumbus.fi/acumen/ Posted by Acumen, commented by Adok. Scene Music CD news. * Dan Wright of Fusecon (one of the founders of the Hornet Archive and producer of the audiophonik CD) has posted "some random bits and a plug or two" to comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos: * "kosmic.org - Has moved on to mp3.com. I'm saddened to see Maelcum go this route but he doesn't have much choice when the scene isn't supporting him by purchasing CD's. Traxinspace - Here is one I don't hear much about. But they got a big plug by carrying some max payne music. scope records - Gone. Had some problems with their record distributor. Again, discovered it isn't easy running a scene label. trsi recordz - Release muffler this year (great album) and another couple good ones. But the only reason they are still around is they have several other companies to help bring in money. http://www.merregnon.com/ - Sounds like a promising CD with some big scene names. But that doesn't mean much if no one purchase it. audiophonik - We are still selling these at a slow pace via www.fusecon.com and www.imphobia.org. Buy now and support the scene! People move on, I understand. But if you don't support the scene..." * Concerning the Merregnon project, the following message has been posted to the related mailinglist: "Thank you for your interest in 'Merregnon'. During the following weeks we will offer information about this project within regular periods. However, what we can reveal for now is that the product will be a soundtrack - a CD which will contain unreleased, exclusive material of all our composers." Posted by Adok, based on news from Dan Wright and Merregnon. Rift (South African demoscene diskmag). * Rift#1 diskmag is also online now (web version) at http://www.sademo.za.net/rift1.html/. Posted by Rawhed. Ceibe (Spanish demoscene diskmag). * The third CEiBE issue has been released. It is 100% in Spanish language. There are many articles about the demoscene in Spain and related technology. * http://www.mimsl.es/pub/anaconda/diskmag/ceibe3.zip Posted by Adok, based on news from Trace (on Orange Juice). Subkult (diskmag). * Under the headline "Subkult #6 is out!!", Dr^Spock writes on Orange Juice: "Twelve years overdue, but here it is, the ultimate diskmag. The diskmag that made the demoscene, the diskmag that makes grown sceners cry, the diskmags that knows how to kick a looser when he's down, SUBKULT!" * Subkult #6 is mainly in English but some articles are in Norwegian. It mainly deals with Norwegian demosceners in a sarcastic, often aggressive manner, and also contains some political statements that may offend other people. * Calvin of Proxima reports on Orange Juice (http://www.ojuice.net/) that somebody has now threatened the Subkult editors with a lawsuit. He says that he will post more information there when available: "Obviously 'someone' was rather angry at Subkult staff Dr Spock and Pop after their Subkult#6 release - talking about making it police business. More later when I know." * Subkult #6 can be downloaded in the diskmag archive of scene.org (ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/mags/). Posted by Adok, based on news from Dr^Spock and Calvin (on Orange Juice). 3D graphician needed. * MagicDreams needs a good 3d graphician for their next demo. We offer direct export from 3ds max (no 3ds!) with an own exporter for easy modelling without the usual problems, to make work as easy as possible.
