WeeklyBeats.com / Music / cTrix's music / 4kb (mastered)
This is a mastered and more rounded version of a 4k demo tune I made last week for Evoke demoparty in Germany. It self generates itself from a tiny Windows 4kb EXE file. 4 kilobytes is the smallest possible file you can get on a PC due to cluster size. So the idea is that you cram as much music and graphics into 4kb as possible. This is hard seeing some modern development environments compile a 4MB file (aka 1000 times bigger) even if it's an empty program!! Header packing, code slicing, super packing, etc...
Original 4kb EXE and source (I think) in:
ftp://ftp.untergrund.net/users/zefyros/GIN-releases/GINxDA-compochiller.zip
If you are going to run one of these files, please note that there is no loading screen!! Best thing to do is press enter on the EXE then wait for up to a minute for the audio to calculate (it's not realtime). If your v-scanner spits out some "virus" freak message it's probably because some dodgy-nob has used the same packing techniques as us (so just click ignore...promise!)

coolness
a 4kb exe? what is this witchcraft
Woah! 4kb? Are things even measured that small anymore? Great track, amazing what you can do with 4kb
4kb? That's barely even optimised! You're getting slack Chris. (jk awesome track)
On 4kb? DOES NOT COMPUTE...or maybe it does compute. Awesome track.
4kb? and if that's just the cluster limitation... Could you encode your track onto a QR code...!!!!??
So is this track still 4kb? That's insane
Crazy little track. Terrible pun intentional.
im having a hard time wrapping my head around this song in 4kb lol. fantastic track
4kb.....wha? amazing
I do not understand how you get that into 4kb. Or the self generating thing... it's a mystery. Leprechauns or something. Cool track though
