Nordlicht 2023

This past weekend I have been doing a couple of shows (1 – coming soon, 2, 3) from the Nordlicht demoparty in Bremen, Germany. I was also responsible for Stream Audio Direction, and then I have additionally been doing a couple smaller jobs, like recording all the different signals, and supplying a separate audio feed for gasman’s livecoding session (to use the audio for beat-synced effects).

This is what my workstation looked like:

A mixing desk, a microphone, a large screen, a tablet running remote control software, a laptop running recording software, external harddisk, keyboard, mouse, and BLÅHAJ overseeing everything.

(In the background you can also see scamp, who was responsible for combining the video stream from the party, the feeds of several cameras, and my audio stream into the result you could watch at SceneCity TV.)

The last time I was at Nordlicht was 2019, and it was really great to meet all the lovely people again, and to meet many people I had not yet met!

The party itself was pretty cool. A solid number of releases, given the size of the party, and an amazing variety of platforms as well! As someone whose first two computers were both of the Atari variety, I enjoyed the Atari entries a tiny bit more than the others… 😄

I’m already looking forward to the next party I’ll be streaming from, which unfortunately will not be Deadline, but TRSAC (⚠ – seriously, people, get an SSL certificate for your websites, it’s 2023, it’s not that hard!), in lovely Aarhus, Denmark. ❤

I hope to see many of you on site in Denmark, and I know there’s going to be many more of you on IRC (#scenesat on EfNet), Discord, or SceneCity!
