Neon Machine ~ Kraftwerk cover using Sega Master System audio chipset on a Megadrive/Genesis 3D Rom Gilles Desmoulins 2024-03-11 | Would you enjoy a 3d video clip programmed on Sega Megadrive/Genesis using Sega Master System Music reprise from Kraftwerk ? No ? ...Let's Get Motivated : Yeahh we can make It !!!Popped out from nowhere, I wanted to find a project that could confirm that 3d stuffs can communicate feelings with style on my good old favorite game platform.In the same time, I wanted to test music composition for Sega Master System, and discover its mystic FM Synthesis System.And ... in the same time again, I wanted to introduced to my 7 years old son the electronic music of Kraftwerk ......Hey !! Star alignment !! ... Kraftwerk, what a perfect playground for music and light shows ...their minimalist music, their visual artworks and videoclips inspired by russian constructivism (raw shapes, few colors)... It could be great !For software development, I relied on the great job done by Stef with the Sega Genesis Development Kit (SGDK : github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK) that showed the way to make minimalist 3d things using his Math3d + BitmapEngine. But don't dream tpo much, the difficulty was to make something with the lack of power of the Sega Megadrive in term of realtime 3d computation (only 7Mhz of CPU speed).Nevertheless, this was a base for me to create a 3d tools suite that I named ... KraftZero3D (approximately means in German "ZeroPower3D" :-) ) : Color managment, memory juggling, Blender custom format export, polygons sorting algorythm, tweens etc...I created elementary bricks to build one by one the sequences of this clip, from simple letters graphics tricks in a text (inspired by "Man Machine" concert video performance), then simple stylized urban environment with strolling on mens (inspired by "Neon Lights" videoclip), and finally flat colored living polygon world ("Man Machine" again).For musical composition, I used DefleMask, a very nice music tracker designed to create chiptunes tracks, with many of the instrument customisation parameters available in the real hardware.All recorded game sequences are running on emulators and real hardware, (what a personnal achievement!). I just had to make the final video editing to assemble all sources. I have left you visual glitches and mesh bugs, it's more authentic, please don't thank me !!Enjoy, and many thanks for your viewing !And long life to Retro Game Development 👾

Aka - Aka Untuk Mu Gilles Desmoulins 2014-10-30 | Great 70s Rock Track from Aka (Apotik Kali Asin) in their highly powered "Hard Beat" Album, a marvelous hidden treasure from Indonesia.****Quotes from AllMusic.com (http://www.allmusic.com/album/hard-beat-mw0002143020)AKA was Indonesia's first contribution to the global heavy rock movement. Founded as early as 1967 in the city of Surabaya, the group took its name -- an acronym for Apotik Kali Asin, or the Kali Asin Pharmacy -- from the place of business owned by singer Ucok Harahap's parents, which doubled as the fledgling band's rehearsal space during non-working hours. And while it could be argued that AKA.'s modest local reputation owed as much to Ucok's wild on-stage antics as to their music, the band would prosper well enough to release a handful of albums throughout the early ‘70s. It should also be noted that the Hard Beat collection surveys only the cream of AKA's westernized material, since the group curiously hedged their bets by padding each LP with songs of the Malay-pop persuasion, making them quite the schizophrenic listening experience…man, what a trip. To wit, the songs culled from 1970's debut, Do What You Like, and 1971's Reflection, blend their heavy-psych milkshake with an improbably long list of influences, including Cream, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, and more. That first album's title track, for instance, resolves into a Mothers of Invention-styled freakout; the bouncy "Crazy Joe" loses the distortion but keeps the psychedelia for an early glimpse of the Soup Dragons, decades before the fact (and it even topped the Australian charts for a few weeks); the jittery "Groovy" sneaks a toke from Captain Beyond; and by 1972's hard-driving "Sky Rider," Ucok is heard shrieking just like Ian Gillan. Soon after, he'd set loose his James Brown obsessions, too, getting down with his bad self on the ultra-funky "Mr. Bull Doc" before leading his bandmates in the crossover from funk to reggae on 1975's "Suez War." Unfortunately, within a year of that interesting development, the AKA dream was over, as the reliably unreliable Ucok opted to move on and was only briefly replaced for 1977's swan song Pucukku Mati, where heavy rock made a brief return before the band signed off for good. Still, it was all very intriguing while it lasted, and while these cultural curiosities and sporadic thrills aren't enough to elevate AKA's legacy to the same level as the great names in ‘70s hard rock, Hard Beat nevertheless delivers a mind-blowing document for previously unaware occidental ears.****
