MIST1021/BNJMNBRGMN-HERBERT_WEST-REANIMATOR


 Mistigram: this creepy #PETSCII illustration, depicting the mad scientist subject of the 1922 #HPLovecraft story #HerbertWestReanimator, was created by bnjmnbrgmn and included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago this month. (Not long after, it could be viewed natively on #C64 machines in "The Nameless PETSCII" slideshow.)

Just yesterday we wrote up Reanimator’s 604 Music Disk Mistigris logo on Mistigram, and already he’s been revived from digital embers and is celebrating the good old days with this slideshow music video celebrating one of his Mist Classic songs from MIST0195, his tracker music cover of the soundtrack to Activision’s Aliens game for the C64. Not bad!



In 1994 I moved to vancouver for college and joined a small demo group that made mods and s3m’s.



I decided to recreate my favourite themesong from my favourite video game of all time. Aliens for the c64.



I lost the file.



I found it last night after 15 years while surfing the internetz.



An ode to LV-426!



Please Enjoy





God, I feel freekin old

Today on Mistigram, Reanimator’s bit of then-gobsmacking Photoshop wizardry (and oh, the thematic resonance – look at the way the logo is emerging from the mist!) represented Mistigris in our little-seen 1996 604 Music Disk, presented by the New Media Group at the NAiD 1996 demoparty in Montreal (and then lost to the ages until we exhumed it in May 2015!)

Reanimator emerged from a multimedia school context rubbing shoulders with Onyx and Silent Knight, and I will never forget a meeting with him at his Chinatown apartment, sharing a wall with The World’s Skinniest Building, to discuss The Next Step for Mistigris. (Forget the next step: this second act will have been, I’m sure, far more interesting.) By way of illustrating the new potential, he described taking a photo of an angry male model, replacing the eyes with fire, and giving the illusion of having branded the word “Mistigris” into his forehead with red-hot metal. Well yes, that’s one direction we could explore…
