At first, it was just a name with no particular significance which was used to personify the musical expressions of chd.y who, with the assistance of Shawn S., created an experimental improvisational cassette with various instruments as the first home recordings of the project. Later on and by himself, he continued experimenting with guitars and simple keyboards until 2000, when he began to use modtracking software for the first time and wrote ΓÇ£Dance of the Marionette,ΓÇ¥ a breakthrough song in his compositions up to that point, which inspired him to compose dozens of songs on tracker. A serious upgrade in tools came in 2003 when professional software was acquired and he began writing even more music, and even sent some demos out at this time. In 2005, he played his first live show which he was only slightly prepared to do but learned a lot from the experience. Unfortunately, in 2008, as he was making a technology change, the master files for hundreds of songs were lost in a hard drive crash, leaving behind only mp3 recordings of the songs. This did not stop him, as he recovered what he could and began to write more, mainly under the radar and in private. In 2013, he experienced a major life change by moving from the United States to Japan, and in 2021, he was signed to the EK Product label and released his first official album, REVENANT. # | | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< tracklist: - [ 1 , "The Invocation" , 00:02:44.284, 123 ] - [ 2 , "Engine" , 00:03:03.144, 113 ] - [ 3 , "Un coeur de glace, un esprit d'hiver" , 00:05:32.460, 102 ] - [ 4 , "Fountain Square" , 00:03:38.880, 144 ] - [ 5 , "Dead Reckoning (reverse/action)" , 00:04:30.471, 134 ] - [ 6 , "and the lies" , 00:04:42.044, 132 ] - [ 7 , "The Doctrine of Overwhelming Force" , 00:02:52.120, 101 ] - [ 8 , "The Execution of Zealots in the Marketplace Square" , 00:03:47.134, 145 ] - [ 9 , "Angel of Black Desire" , 00:02:59.017, 98 ] - [ 10 , "Meatgrinder" , 00:04:58.031, 119 ] - [ 11 , "The Rising Sun and the Behemoth" , 00:04:34.207, 96 ] - [ 12 , "Accept Death" , 00:04:00.117, 123 ] - [ 13 , "Hark! for I am the portent of misery" , 00:02:58.494, 136 ] - [ 14 , "Machigatta Guuzen" , 00:04:22.034, 97 ] - [ 15 , "Floodgates Now Opened" , 00:02:06.772, 127 ] - [ 16 , "MQ-9A" , 00:05:09.524, 102 ] - [ 17 , "Serenade For Hana" , 00:02:57.998, 137 ] # \____________________________________________________________________/ # #/---------------------------------------------------------------------\ news: | Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future" obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML. As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo that is designed to be both human and machine readable. It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives curators. Why this? Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8. As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata. With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem, we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks, filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house, djent... With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source codec, purchase url) nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension .yml.nfo e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay compatible. The current schema will be published in the near future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same structure and set of keys. schema_version: 0.0.6 #| | #| | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| Sites: D... ..... ...... - T3 - 16GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx | # >~~~~~~ M........ - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx +> #| R..... ...... ...... - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xx.xxx | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| | greetings: all #| | #\--------- --=[ Thinking AMOK - The Superior Lifestyle ]=-- ----------/ # \___________________________________________________________________/
