==Pygmy Projects (1993-)==
Pygmy was formed by Coconut and Flame, both ex-members of the shortlived Finnish section of [[The Silents]]. They released one demo, "Maximum Velocity" [08/92] for them before getting kicked out. They then joined [[Damones (old)|Damones]], before finally forming Pygmy. I guess we should feel lucky they tried their hand at doing it on their own, since PP is a group that created a few quite memorable productions! They have a special symbol, the so-called 'Pygmy sun'. It can be seen in "Extension" (above the logo), "G-Force" (as a gouraud object) and "Logic" (envmapped).

==Group History==
;1993: Their very first demo, the trackmo "Extension" [08/93] surprised everyone by taking the very first place in the [[Assembly '93|assembly]] democompetition!

;1995: The year started great for PP, after they were joined by famous german musician [[Volker Tripp|Jester]]/[[Sanity (new)|Sanity]] in February! This move sent shockwaves throughout the demo scene, but unfortunately it would seem like he ceased all scene activity in favour of his professional music career shortly after joining...
