Facts#
- Jesse Rothenberg, 16 in April 1995;
ioron IRC ("eye-oh-are"). Tracked about five songs in 1994. Had attended Assembly '94; went to NAID 1995 "for the American scene people" and stayed with Epeius beforehand. - His NAID report: necros won the music compo and gave a speech honouring everyone who dared to enter; all entries (about 65, some 7½ hours) were played; many were Spartacus (basehead) imitations, Purple Motion imitations and techno; mosaic's 4th-placed Tears stood out; announcing composers' names made it "a popularity contest"; the first-time organisers did not use the Assembly veterans present — see compos.
- Motto: "More is more. Less is less. More is better …"; credits Epinicion for showing that "just because you start small, doesn't mean that you aren't good".
