My handle in the scene is XNI and i am a member of RNO (Amiga) and Darklite (various platforms).
I have been doing music and graphics (2D/3D) for small demos and musicdisks and occassionally visited parties like Evoke and Breakpoint/Revision.
Early 90s demos on the C64 got me interested in the demoscene in the first place.
Once in a while I still contribute something on request.

Just a spectator, sadly. My now ex-wife didn’t want to get involved. Now that we aren’t together, I have no artist. Not pixel, vector or modeller. If I did get in it would have to be retro all the way. I wouldn’t stand a chance at anything modern in the compos.
I think the true scene spirit lives in the oldschool platform compos anyways.
But on modern platforms i occasionally take a look on 64kb (and below) kinda demos.
Anything else does not really feel like a demo anymore since one can do basically anything nowadays.
Also, after 30 years i got interested in 8-bit coding again.
The C64 still is an interesting platform where one can achieve quite a lot with a couple of lines of code.

I tried to be, but was probably always considered a lamer 
I’ve made my small share of ascii logos, trading and mods winning local compos. No involvement in demos, though.
Still an amazing song, even after all those years!

I was kinda into it a little bit, but not really all that active or good at it and I was a bit late in the game sticking to C64 after its scene had pretty much died out.
I released some music, made a font for a demo and some sprites and drawings. I was part of a group called Creators for a short while.
I still haven’t been able to get rid of my C128 DX, wich is fully portable, that is if you own a horse to carry it and they have an hell old TV where you’re going.

I’ve been following demoscene releases since the early 90s, when my older half siblings introduced me to their Amiga machines, they’d always bring along new cool demos to watch that they had picked up from friends. I fell in love with the many different soundtracks. Around that time I also started experimenting with OctaMED, thanks to my uncle who used it excessively. But it wasn’t until 2010 that I joined the demoscene myself, roughly four years after I had first heard about Renoise. Today I’m an active scene musician and a demoparty organizer in Bremen, Germany. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone who follows the scene closely but never been to a demoparty to go visit one of the smaller ones, you’ll fall in love with the atmosphere!

I have never gone gone to a demoparty.
From your point of view,do you think that speaking english is sufficient to communicate in all demoparties?
I have followed demoscene from the early days but never been in any group.
Once I made some art to a group that never went to a party. My music has been
influenced by demoscene. At very late I became more involved with scene and been
in couple of parties and few years back have made also connection with local computer magazine
geeks in Finland. I have made few cover art and editorial illustrations for a magazine.
But what comes to demoscene music I am a real lamer.
ps: I have made some articles about game music too

Maybe not “all” demoparties around the world but for the vast majority of them, yes absolutely! The moment you enter the party hall, English will be the primary language for communication between sceners / visitors and the organizing team. Competition announcements, beamslides on the bigscreen, the intranet with its compo entry submission system and videostreams will all be in English most of the time.
That’s not to say that people won’t speak other local languages as well of course. You may encounter this more often at small demoparties in the far north, east, south or western regions of Europe, for instance when friends or groups are having conversations with each other. But I yet have to find anyone who does not speak English at a demoparty, it really is no problem 99% of the time 
after “covid”,why not…thank you

Wow that’s pretty cool!
I remember State of the Art, I was that hyped by this demo! 
Never been connected to the demoscene, although i watched them constantly and wondered how they could fit so much music into so little memory.
It got me making music on trackers.
First on my Amiga 500, later on my Amiga 1200.
And now on my M1 mac air and loving it…
