🧵 My intro picture for our Syntrax music editor. Made this in 3D Studio Max in 1998. Renderings still took a long time back then. 😅

Check other posts in this thread for the tunes that were made with our music editors.

🧵 When I post tunes from the games we created, they're usually composed by Ramon Braumuller. But our coder, Reinier van Vliet, also created music.

We've developed three music editors: SIDmon and Digital Mugician for the Amiga, and, later, Syntrax for Windows and Pocket PCs.

Here's a Syntrax track by Reinier, called King Tut.

#OnThisDay, 24 Oct 1901, American Annie Edson Taylor becomes the first *person* to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

The cat did *not* do the stunt with her.

🚡🇬🇪 High above a Georgian mining town, rusting cable cars hang motionless on their lines. Built to carry miners and ore across the mountains, these small metal cabins were nicknamed "metal coffins" by the those that once used them for their daily commute.

Nowadays, the cable car network is under renovation. But, some relic cars and Soviet Modernist stations can still be explored.

Sanatorium Iveria is one of the many ruins in Tskaltubo, the former Soviet spa town in western Georgia. Grand staircases connect the floors, the walls are painted a stunning cobalt blue. One wing still holds the remains of a small performance space, suggesting the sanatorium’s dual purpose as both a medical and culture house.
