Demoscene encompasses pushing limits of video hardware (mode-x, 3d) and god know how many copper bars than mod trackers (audio), but there's definitively sizable overlap. Heck, keygens allegedly often have some cool shit in them besides serials in the form of demos. Sometimes the UI themselves is reported to be clever.

For the uninitiated, mod tracking is kind of like midi but with either or both synthesized and digitally-sampled instruments played typically by software. A friend in high school in the late 90's ranked near the top 5 globally with a beautiful piece that used like 32 channels, all in software. No help from a GUS with this.
