Alchimie
,/* Alchimie 13 – 2019 */
'''Alchimie''' is a French demo and retro computer party obviously held in '''France''', more precisely in the Drôme département, in the wine producting Valley of the Rhône.
Organized by the '''TripleA''' association, an originally '''Amiga''' oriented club. '''TripleA''' mostly organize events called Amigabouffes, which are basically dinners with Amiga afficionados. '''Alchimie''' and '''µAlchimie''' are the annual XXL Amigabouffes.
The annual events are currently alternating with the main '''Alchimie''' each odd years and the smaller more intimist '''µAlchimie''' the even years (between each main). Main '''Alchimies''' are held in '''Tain l'Hermitage''' (Drôme) while '''µAlchimies''' are help in the smaller village of '''Clérieux''' (Drôme). mostly during late october or mid-november.
It has seen more and more French Amstradists attending it in later editions, slowly becoming one of the main French Amstrad friendly party, alongside Atari and Amiga and any retro computers fans, and modern computers users as well.

Beb, Ramlaid paid a short visit to put a souped-up CPC6128 on display and play some Amstrad Demos.

[[Demoniak]] actually came here before as he is also an Amiga legend. He later chose to avoid the event in order to avoid MacDeath (quite understandable). He actually coded a small intro for CPC during the event (unreleased officially) [https://cpcrulez.fr/demostestDO_intro_alchimie_2007.htm Link at CPCrulez Here]

=== Timeline = Alchimie 2009 – 2009 ====
'''JBleDaron''' was awarded 1st place in streaming music with "quelque chose de CPC"
'''Overflow''' was retiring as the Legend he is, giving place for all the other legends to exist again. He was last seen as a Spectrum48 scener, doing MSX ports for Alice computers. <gallery>Image:Alchimie13 party 2019.jpg|Event's LogoImage:Alchimie 13 cpc group.jpg|The Amstradists.Image:IMG alchimie13 0375.jpg|Exclusive preview by Golem13 and noRecess.Image:Alchimie13.cup.1.png|2019's goodie.</gallery> == µAlchimie timeline == ==== µAlchimie – 2010 ==== ==== µAlchimie II – 2012 ==== ==== µAlchimie III – 2014 ====[[Hermol]], MacDeath, Overflow.<gallery>Image:70 big.jpg|Panoramic view.Image:ALCHI2014-131652.jpg|Hermol and MacDeath the bearded.Image:00030.jpg|Nice machines assortments.Image:00032.jpg|Enough machine power to successfully farm Bitcoins.Image:34 big.jpg|The Lotus turbo Esprit challenge, ST vs Amiga in network on projector, upon the Amstrad corner.Image:ALCHI2014-124530.jpg|CPC464.Image:ALCHI2014-153424.jpg|View from the amstrad corner, the Oliver pair.Image:ALCHI2014-190504.jpg|MacDeath pretending to pixel something (unreleased yet)Image:29 big.jpg|Sir Hermol : CPCrulez!</gallery>Finally after many spams of reports of previous editions in lenghty posts at various Amstrad Forums, two other renowned Amstradists were lured to come taste the event, the food and the wine. With an Amstrad Legend such as Overflow and Hermol the webmaster of CPCrulez website, this may take-on at last with the aim to open south-east Amstradists to other retro-community and have a proper local annual gathering. Halas, Overflow was totally unknown as a legend here, this injured his pride so he sweared to the gods of code that one day he will be recognized at last and began a long work to the tops of the Demoscene to re-affirm his status one day. (ok, this may not be what really happened) ==== µAlchimie IV – 2016 ==== MacDeath, Roudoudou, Overflow, Ast, OffseT, POWER, others... <gallery>Image:24 big.jpg|Panoramic view.Image:23 big.jpg|Panoramic view.Image:21 big.jpg|CPC corner.Image:81 big.jpg|Some machine.Image:105 big.jpg|Some other machine.Image:UAlchimie2016.jpg|Local press article (MacDeath's back can be seen).Image:14853036 10205614954572702 1424255099019434684 o.jpg|Overflow (Demoniak?) and AST.Image:14859679 10205614956652754 7424364416541107687 o.jpg|OffseT and Roudoudou.</gallery>Again the Amstrad contingent grew stronger, with the addition of Roudoudou a well known french scener and a legend to become. Overflow already started his ascension to Godhood of code earlier with his release IO on MSX at [[Forever]], he would later say : "what limitations ? No one told me I couldn't do that"... Yet a sordid and treacherous compatibility scandal almost rendered his effort vain. * [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/discussion-generale/alchimie-2016-au-rapport/ Report from Roudoudou at CPCwiki forum (French)] : ==== µAlchimie V – 2018 ====Offset, Hermol, Overflow, Ast, Roudoudou, MacDeath. == Compos == ==== Alchimie 12 – 2017 ==== [[File:Alchimie CRTC3.png]] The '''Alchimie12''' (2017) was somewhat special in that '''[[Roudoudou]]''' and '''[[Overflow]]''' decided to both release at the composition, for Amstrad PLUS/GX4000 format in ROM cartridges, making it a doubled first. Nothing could have been possible without the '''[[C4CPC]]''' cartridge to unlock the full potential of the system at last. The second generation of Amstrad CPC made a grand entrance as a serious '''Demoscene''' competitor in the retro computer categories, competing with 16bits with huge number of colours on screen, impressive soundtracks and smooth fast paced animations, praised by Amiga and Atari fans during the event.
'''Case''' completed the Amstrad performances with his Amstrad CPC Graphic composition, Ranked First as well.
