  . this is muoto, a traction and brainstorm demonstration
    for evoke 2013 in cologne, germany. 
	
  . muoto is finnish and means a shape or a form

  . code and visuals   - preacher
    music              - scott
    audio              - fmod
    images             - openil
	additional design  - scott, kianga, rale, napsa and
	                     a huge bunch of other folk

  . this one was a long time in the making, at least for 
    me. i started it working on this right after revision 
	2012 that i unfortunately missed and it was supposed 
	to be released at evoke 2012 already, but there were 
	problems in procuring suitable music and as i realized
	that there would be no way to make it in time, i made
	väre, which just goes to show that sometimes it's best
	to ignore whatever plans you have.
	
  . some of the ideas in this one are very, very old. i've
    wanted to do the pentagram zoomer for at least a decade,
	for example, and the part with the rings comes from the
	ovolo logo. there's also a huge bunch of leftover parts
	that almost could make up a demo of their own, so maybe
	there'll be a sequel. some of them were pretty nice too,
	just didn't fit this one. the middle part of väre with
	the glowing ribbons was originally for this demo.
	
  . for the people who will eventually come to me at a party
    or e-mail me or post on pouet to tell me that they would 
	like more lines	and glow instead of this angular abstract 
	shit with a white background, or who already have done 
	that sort of thing, there is a checkbox for you on the 
	startup dialog. it took me all of five minutes to make 
	(okay, so maybe more like ten), so no need to thank me. 
	i hope you like it. it's for you.
	
  . i have been a proponent of open source in demos and have
    released the source to all of my recent work. this one
	will be a bit different because in the bowels of the
	codebase there is an another production that will be
	unlike anything the scene has ever seen as far as i know,
	and i don't want to go through the refactor hell to take
	it out. once that one is released, this one will be
	opened as well. not that there's anything special in it,
	it's just a bunch of simple scenes.
	
  . come visit us at http://brainstorm.untergrund.net, you
    know you want to. until the next time (which might be
	sooner than you think)...
