Mind The Bend The Mind by Space Raiders, a demo for all Atari ST computers with at least 512K of RAM. Filmed running on an Atari 1040 STe with a composite signal to a Commodore 1084S CRT monitor (RGB was giving me v-sync trouble, sadly).

Our first demoscene release together in 10 years, and our first ever release on Atari! We talked about doing something on Atari for years but could never be bothered until this week, when mnstrmnch implemented this lovely scroller and I sat down with a great new(ish) YM tracker called Ttrak to bash out a chiptune - just in time to enter it at Nova Demoparty in Budleigh Salterton this weekend. See you in another 10 years!

Ive been active in the Demoscene and chiptune scene for many years under the name syphus, though occasionally going by silo7, lightbomb, echolevel, and joey&splif. Im a member of the demogroups Up Rough and Space Raiders, and Ive been in BDSE, CpH and some others over the years. Im not as active in the scene as I used to be, but occasionally I still find the time to write a tune or collaborate on a production.
This tune is from an archive of over 130 tunes written since the late 90s using various Amiga and PC trackers, spanning my earliest attempts, my most productive demoscene years, and my more recent middle-aged dabblings. I’ve not dated them, partly because my memory’s not great and also because not all file creation timestamps are reliable.
These tunes are all recorded directly from the trackers in which they were written, with no post production or editing. You can download all the original tracker modules for free from https://syphus-mods.github.io. I usually compose on original hardware, which you can see in some of my other videos and on Instagram, but filming and editing this quantity of tunes on my Amiga/PC’s CRT monitors with a full camera setup would be too time-consuming; I’m very happy with the sound quality and aesthetics offered by WinUAE, SchismTracker, and 8bitbubsy’s fantastic FastTracker clone.
With the exception of tunes clearly labelled as covers, these are all my own compositions and I retain all copyrights. However, I’ve always made my tracker modules freely available under Creative Commons’ Attribution, Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives license, which means that listening, copying and distribution is fine as long as I’m credited (as one of the above names;or Brendan O’Callaghan Ratliff; or both), and they cannot be used for commercial or remix purposes without my express permission.
