Raster Coma is the second in a series of releases focusing on 90's demo scene, gaming, and rave culture. I attended various demo parties throughout the 90's, of which The Party (held in Denmark in 1995) was a particular highlight. Its somewhat cacophonous mixture of underground techno, pixel art, and visual effects, served on hundreds of CRT screens and speakers gave my 16 year old brain a sensoric overload unlike anything I'd encountered up until that point. Experiences like these, along with memories of waking up early in the weekends to do pixel art, tracker music, and playing games on our Atari ST machine, form the aesthetic foundations of my Raster releases.
