IRIS

IRIS is an Amiga demo group. IRIS was based in France (and later mostly in Denmark), and was born in 1989. They were also the arrangers of the danish Scene Meeting parties. They recruited the entire Danish division of D-29, which means at least Darkhawk, other names are uncertain. Mandrake is the coder of "Explora 3" (Infomedia) with music by Ulrick. Today their undisputed leader is Darkhawk from Denmark.

Group History

1992 

Digital Master left early 92.

1993 

News in Eurochart #22 [11/93] that Bridgeclaw left to join Shamrock were probably untrue.

1994 

The entire Danish division of D-29 joined Iris in january. This was at least Darkhawk, other names are uncertain. Dazl joined Investation early in the year.

1996 

Swappers Sir Maxin (Svein H. Orjansen, swap, late95) and Peace (ger, 95) were kicked due to the bad contact with the other members in june. Also in june, Radix was kicked because of inactivity and Speed left to be independent.

1997 

Baltic swapper Miko 63 (Michael Arvantis) was kicked because of a lack of contact. "World of Chips #4" [02/97], "World of Chips #5" [03/97], "Deep Bass Nine BBSTro" [03/97] was released. April saw the release of "Avatar #5" [04/97]. Danish sysop Azlan closed his board and left the scene. Danish swapper Adonis was kicked due to inactivity, but later returned to the group. Sticky joined with his board 'ORGANIZED CONFUSION', but was kicked again after a short while. Pudding was kicked due to inactivity. German musician Dascon regained scene inspiration, and after a short stay in Iris, he rejoined his old group Essence late in the year. "Delaytro" [10/97] was released to tell the world of the delay to their proposed party Scene Meeting 97, which is now to be held in february of 98. The intro also announced Ransom as a new member.

2000 

Early in the year Cupid (code) joined from Darkage, Yon (gfx) joined while danish coder Hastur (96-) decided to leave the scene. Ransom's debut demo as a coder (he joined as a raytracer) "Abecedarian" [11/00] was released at TRSAC 00.5, where it finished 2nd in the competition.

2001 

Just before the group travelled to the Mekka Symposium party in germany in april, three central members sadly decided to leave the group and the scene. Danes Bandy (gfx, 96-), Judas and finally veteran Tricktrax (code music) all left. The group released the demo "Light" [04/01] at MS, announcing the departure of the three, and also announced they were recruiting graphicians. Shortly after, graphician SuperK joined from Darkage. In may, English coder BuZz (webmaster at http://www.exotica.org.uk) joined. Yon's slideshow "The Puppets" [09/01] (ransom/yon/nutman) was released in september.
