demostyle (not comparable)
- (demoscene) Of a musical style popular in the demoscene, involving tracker modules usually assembled from samples played at various pitches.
- 1999, Luke Drelick, “ZZT”, in alt.games.final-fantasy (Usenet):
- Yea, it's got some good GDM's... The music is basically a cross between House, Demostyle, and Classical (don't ask). It's got some killer music in it, like Click.gdm, and Bounce.gdm (take a guess what that is :) )
- 2000, eggbird, “Need sound files for tracking”, in alt.music.mods (Usenet):
- download modules in the same style as your ideas [if you don't know where to get that particular style, ask in this group :), especially with danceable music like trance, house, drum'n'bass, techno, etc, and with demostyle music, there are lots of tracks with very good samples available, if you know where to find them. And we know that.], and extract the samples. that is by far the best way to get suitable samples. Archives very often contain bad or useless samples except for this very one single particular style/setup/idea/emotion/etc.
