³½ Associate of Arts Inside ¼ by RokDaZone ² Does your group lack musicians? Do you need musicians for a noncommercial/commercial project Do you feel bored to always have the same music in your packs? Or even worse: do you have to rip music or pay for it? ¹ Well, if you answered at least one of those questions with 'Yep!' then read on! But also if you didn't this will be interesting for you. The idea might not be new, extraordinary or stunning, yet another musicians-only project has been founded. Yet we already have proven our abilities. A preview(!) of a tune that soon will be out in a dentro hit the ²third place at the CeBit'94 musiccompetition!¹ Nowadays, there are many subgroups and subgroups of subgroups, which are only invented to serve the personal ego, by seeing ones name nearer defined in essential credits. It is easy to invent such small cooperations and at the moment, it is almost as fab as having hiddenparts in onepart intros. Those mini-subdivisions normally don't bring any real changes. The subgroup works like it did before, for the same team, in the same style and still are being called the way they were before. And why? Easy. It is soo damned boring to type in 25kbyte of greetings, when each single greeting looks as follows: I'm so cool/We are even cooler/Bugger all. AA (speak: "Double A"; abbreviation for Associate of Arts) is different... This project called to life by JiMi/Love (Ex Statik-D) and RokDaZone/Infect. We decided to try again, what often is regarded at social suizide inside the scene: Being independent in a cooperation of musicians. Why did we do it? We felt like being much too productive just to be member in one group. Many tunes don't get used not because they are bad, but due to the fact that also others want to hear their music in productions and soon, one faces a pool of 20 musics waiting to get used in the either or other way and/or production. This is depressing, because normally there is no chance to release so many demos or intros, so many pieces will fly over to the holy format-grounds! How shall 'AA' help out? Hereby, we offer our work to every single group inside the scene! But not only groups that don't have musicians are asked to contact us. Also packmakers are - as far as I know - always in search for new chiptunes. We are willed to spend all our creativity on every single request for music by being fast. We are flexible enough to do a fitting tune after the personal needs of the producing team. We are in possession of a huge samples databank so our tunes always contain fresh new samples. We are not depending on conventional schemes, because we don't have to represent the image of a special group (Tell us what you want, but much too often, especially the 'elite' groups have a real unisono style in every direction - it's getting boring!). We are 'easy to handle', because we don't demand anything except for credits and maybe our contact adress displayed in the certain release (depends on how big the release will be. In intros the credits are enough). We won't demand any money from you (but we won't refuse it either)! Interested? In the case you are interested in getting in contact with us write to one of the adresses below. Not only for ordering modules, but also for swapping modules, experiences and sound utilities. We are always open for a nice chat and we don't mind who or what you are. ²¢>> Continued next page <<
