The late 90’s scene spawned quite a few semi-famous IDM-artists. Brothomstates (Dune/Orange sometimes together with Yolk/Parallax) have released IDM on Warp and are part of the TPOLM-universe in the scene. Bogdan Raczynski (Karl) released on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records, but started in the tracker scene as Karl. The label Merck released sceners and sceneroids like Lackluster (Distance/TPOLM), Ilkae, Blamstrain, Vim, Machinedrum, Frank and Bill, md (Mellow-D/TPOLM), Xhale, Crankshaft (Yolk/TPOLM), Tim Koch (Serkul/Cydonia).Īdam Skorupa (Scorpik/Pulse, Poland) – a composer and sound designer famous foremost in Poland.Īlek Száhala ( Apofis/TDC, Finland) reached some fame with his Hard NRG music in the 00’s.Īlexander Odden (Flipside/Nazareth, Norway) is in Pegboard Nerds.Īnders Carlsson (Goto80/HT^UP, Sweden) that’s me doing this list and I’ve made some stuff.Īnders Johansson (Static/Rebels, Sweden) is an editor in the film industry.Īndrew Sega (Necrös/FM, USA) of the synthpop group IRIS.

The entries on this list have not been scrutinized and researched as much other texts here, such as the Timeline. The purpose of this list is not to make a general “this is what sceners are doing outside of the scene” (check Scener Release list, demosceners on Wikipedia, old-ish list of sceners in the games industry) but to show examples of people who managed to go from the scene and do something out of the ordinary. Famous in the sense of getting plenty of recognition within a specific field or in the mainstream. And there are individual sceners who have managed to become “famous” on their own. IO Interactive came from Cryonics. The IT-company TAT started as Yodel. Some huge companies were born as demoscene groups. DICE came from The Silents. “Yeah nice demos man, you can start monday”.
Sceners give other sceners work opportunities, and recommend each other for projects. I’ve heard stories from sceners going to a job interview, mentioned their demogroup, and basically got the job. The demoscene can be an utterly useless experience to have. Who cares about what you can do in 1024 bytes? On the other hand, the scene is like a secret society.
