Syntax is a computer festival, dedicated solely to the demoscene - a place to present and celebrate realtime animation (called a demo), pre-rendered animation, graphics and music. The word "demoparty" is globally used to describe this gathering of computer coders / musicians / 3D and 2D graphicians all under one roof. Syntax 2009 occured last November and proved to be a huge success! Thanks to everyone who came down and partied, submitted enteries and donated prizes. The C64 enteries have been uploaded to csdb and additional enteries to scene.org and pouet. Syntax 2010 will be November 13/14 and more details to be published soon.

If you are an Audio Technology reader, the site you are probably looking for is chipmusic.syntaxparty.org
The Syntax demoparty website was accidently printed in the magazine instead of the chipmusic site.

Syntax 2009 was a huge success and a rocking time for all who rocked up. CBD, Melbourne
