Here you'll find news, music, links, and whatever else I can dig up about one of my favorite artists: Andrew Sega. You may know him better from his time in the MOD music scene as Necros, the sole creator behind The Alpha Conspiracy, owner of Diffusion Records, or half of Iris. Andrew is a talented musician, mixer, and producer who has done work on a variety of video games such as Unreal Tournament.
I intend this site, necros.gibdon.com, to be a communal gathering of all the tidbits anyone can gather, so please contact me (weenie@gmail.com) if you have anything you'd like to share. Some things I'm looking to add in the near future:
- Unique Theme
- MP3 versions of Scene Music
- Recent Photos / Interviews
- Visitor Comment Form and/or Guestbook
Also, let me know if you'd like to be a regular contributor and I can give you the capability to post news, attach files, and make comments.

Brian, of The Gothsicles, wrote me much earlier this year (at the beginning in fact) and included a video wherein Andrew appears at the beginning. I totally spaced and am only just now posting it. Enjoy! |

He is also planning an interview so if there is a question you'd like to ask Andrew, just email it to me (weenie@gmail.com) and I'll forward it along. |

Someone named "Duckbreath" emailed to ask:
There is a song titled E-29812.S3M that was released from SnowMan back when cdrom.com hosted the Music Contest contest that was hosted from Walnut Creek, CA. E-29812 was an MC3 veteran entry and per contest rules all of the instrument names and comments are stripped, and songs renamed to a number!
However, I recognize some of the samples and style from Andrew Sega's work of that period. I am curious what the original name of this song is. Also, if it is a Necros song, do you know what it placed?
Andrew Googled it himself to come up with this link: http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=39832. However, he doesn't remember what the song placed and neither do I. You can, of course, download The Crossing here.
Email me if you know what placement this song got and any other information! |

Valentin ( Valet2) made me aware of two fan-made DVD's of Iris shows in Moscow and has provided links to their ISO's:
I have had only limited internet access and no time to review these, but hopefully when I do I'll re-post them as embedded videos. |

Hi, not long time ago i created a channel on youtube for necros works only. you can find it here:
It will contain all things necros (mods, videos, basically anything i can get). So far, i have uploaded several mods and the first two parts of "taking tracking mainstream", a presentation done by necros for 2007 blockparty.

The following pictures were linked in an email to me from Valentin, a fellow Andrew Sega fan.
UPDATE on 4/30: Added captions by submitter Valentin. Iris - Awakening, DIF005, limited edition. Rare and expensive cd, I asked Andrew and Brian Pearson if if's still possible to find the cd, and they answered that all cds were sold out ages ago (although Andy has a few left). But once a friend of mine from Moscow found this disc at cheaper price on Amazon and made me a present. I was dreaming of this album over the years!
Andrew's neck. I made this picture after the show in Moscow in 2004. This was the last shot on tape, and my favorite one. Because no one had made a picture like this.Audiophonik and Freedom. The first one was extremely hard to find, and I was able to get it some years later. Also I asked the creator of these cds Dan Wright about Freedom, and he told me that he still has some packed copies (1995!). Forward Rewindings EP "For Molly". I have a friend, a girl from the Black sea, and once she told me "Andrew is cute" or something. Heh, I imagined how happy she will be if Andrew himself will sign a cd for her! And I contacted Andy, asked him to carry one disc for me (which was hard to get 6 years ago). This was one of the happiest moments in my life.A picture of my cd-collection. Each year I put all my cds on the floor to make a photo of them. When I was young it was impossible to buy anything from foreign countries. First of all, the price was high for russians, we didn't have credit cards, online shops didn't know about Russia, and paypal was unable in our country for a long time. And I was dreaming of these albums of musicians I know. But time passed, and now I'm a collector. So, this is a photo of 2006 or so, and you may see Necros' cds on it.Andrew is signing my t-shirt. Iris came to Russia again in 2006. This time I was not alone - I came with many demoscene people, guys of gaming industry, and serious and imfamous musicians. We all knew Andy, and everyone wanted to chat with him. It's a long story, but I remember the moment when Andrew saw me, and he was shocked and wasn't able to tell anything for a few seconds.Iris - It Generates. This cd released in Poland only. It's extremely megarare. My Moscow friend found one copy, paid about $70, and the seller was owner of Infected Records. The cd is not mine, but I have a copy, hi-res scan, and I touched this disc. Wow!Me, Andrew and my Moscow friend Basil (Vasily). It was in 2004, after the Iris show. This day changed my life... Job, hobbies, friends, relations, concerts and people... A LOT. Maybe I will write a book of my experience. Wow, a good idea! |

Dust11 wrote me to add some missing songs which may or may not be Necros. I'm going to attach them to this post, but I'll hold off on adding them to the Scene Music section until I'm sure. Enjoy! P.S. - Visit Dust11's music page for remixes of Necros songs and others in MP3 form. Andrew has confirmed 3 of 4 are his: yes, except for that traxinspacestation one which isn't
mine
that hornet one is quite hilarious, i completely forgot about

I received another great email from Steffan:
Greetings once again NeilO!
I'm glad you enjoyed the Distant Lullaby remix I'd found. So I imagine you'd like to know about another Necros track, "Pulse", included on a compilation CD called Audiophonik released in 1999.
I actually own an original copy of this CD, which is now out of issue. However, the distributor Fusecon has put the entire CD on-line in MP3 format for free download. "Pulse" is featured as track 8. All the details can be seen here : http://www.fusecon.com/products/audiophonik/
Audiophonik is a fine collection of music by various scene musicians. I particularly recommend "Cocoon" by Scorpik - a superb chillout track. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Steffan
I remember trying to obtain a copy of this CD many years ago, so it's really cool now being able to download it as MP3's. Awesome! |
