If you were a computer in 1991, Aarcover was what you dreamed of being able to make when you grew up. Designed by David Charles Randolph Rakowski, a composer who also happened to be one of the early digital type weirdos, Aarcover looked like someone tried to print electricity and succeeded. It was shareware lightning and was wild, sharp, and straight chaotic.
BTC Arc Lover takes that jolt of early PC voltage and cleans up the current. The lines are tighter, the corners make sense, and the static buzz has been tuned into something deliberate. It’s less a relic and more a reboot: a revival that respects the glitch while making it sing in tune.
You get a complete punctuation suite, extended Latin support, and a few variant capitals lurking in the lowercase set. BTC Arc Lover still hums with that same retro voltage, but now it hums in stereo!
If the original Aarcover was a noisy bedroom demo recorded onto a floppy disk, BTC Arc Lover is the remastered LP. The same riffs, same manic energy, but the feedback has been sculpted into something you can actually crank through good speakers. It’s neon, it’s nostalgic, and it still smells faintly of ozone and printer ink.
