Easter weekend and Revision is near! Just in time for your travel arrangements, our new episode is out!
We talk to jco about satire and gimmicks in demos, if they are just empty crowd-pleasing or can convey deeper messages - and what on earth is going on in the mind of the guy that created everything from "Safety First" to Kevin! With a topic that close to okkie's heart, he finds the tables turned a little, and also shares his own experiences on the matter. It's getting profound again, y'all!

Whether it is to divert expectations, provoke, bend the rules or simply have a good time and be creative: humour, satire and gimmicks are a long-standing tradition in the demoscene. But is there more to it than just blatant knee-slappers and cheap audience-pleasing? Does humour free oneself from too...

Our new episode is out! Late last year, the hosts and producers gathered together right before Christmas to reflect on the year, share thoughts and experiences and go off-the-rails for some jolly good time.
Listen to the new episode now on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible or wherever you get your podcasts, as well as later tonight on SceneSat!

It was the end of the year, so our producers joined the hosts to wind down, have some fun and reminisce about their first year as part of the team. We give some insights and thoughts from behind the scenes, talk about our favourite episodes, parties and anything that happened in 2022 - and give some...

Episode 27 is out now! In this episode we dub "Bonfire Special", kiero and h0ffman discuss their personal experiences, feelings and anecdotes about Competitions and the joy (and angst) when you finally get to see your final production on the bigscreen:

After long summer nights, it's getting cold outside again and the demoparty calendar gets sparser. In this special, we invite two guests to discuss a topic intimately, as you might catch the conversation close to a bonfire after a good compo night: Our two guests hardly need an introduction - Kiero....

In our biggest episode yet, we discuss the good, the bad and everything inbetween that the demoscene has to offer for our psyche. We are joined by Tom, who lectures Community Psychology at the University of Leeds whenever he isn't producing Atari demos.

What can we do to maintain a healthy community, but also set boundaries and expectations towards ourselves and others?

We are curious about your own experiences and stories, as well as feedback on this massive subject!

When it rains, it pours: due to personal events in our hosts' and production teams' lives, we decided to pause in May, and rather be back with a clear mind and some things sorted in June. We can't wait to get back to you! ❤
In the meantime and for something slightly different than usual, check out Axel's masterclass interview with Alexandre Desplat, held as part of the Basel Film Music Festival. Which he organised on top of things, and - we can attest - brilliantly so. Way to go, Axel!

And we are back with Episode 23! Did you know the story of Revision's Easter tradition started exactly 25 years ago, when Mekka and Symposium became one common demoparty for both PC and Home Computer sceners? Aaaah, the kids we were... but what about kids these days? How do they perceive and tinker with computers?

Join us for a massively long and jam-packed episode with Steeler, who is sharing his memories as a former Mekka & Symposium organiser as well as his professional insights as a media-education advisor, comparing our experience back then with the experience kids make today.
