Pygmy Projects

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, 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 democompetition!

1995

The year started great for PP, after they were joined by famous german musician Jester/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...
