Musicians interrogation room ...

When and why did you start writing music at Speke?

Oh, it was quite a long time. I
I mean - the first game we started doing in the mid-80's, but I
started making music at Speke ...
just somewhere in 1989/1990-h.

Surely you gained experience by studying the works of other, 
more experienced and well-known authors. Who among spekovskih 
musicians influenced your music at the time and whom you

you can call your teacher?

At that time the best Mouzon on
Spectrum were demos to SoundTracker 1.1. They wrote Hacker
Kicia.

Your first music editor.

The first songs I did on
BEEP'ah:)) However, they were quite complex:) Then I started 
using the "Wham! The Music-Box". Then the "Music Box 128", and 
then Soundtracker 1.1. 

Now what do you think about my
musical past, some important milestones in his career, can you 
mention? 

Hard to say, I just learned.
Perhaps most important were the two
moment:

1) When I decided to add complex
techniques in my tracks (based on
proggressive rock and art-rock)

2) When I decided that the "squares"
too boring to
to use them too often, and
I began to invent a new sound under
50Hz.

Do you think you've got fans,
and especially that they love in your
music? What would you like to say to them?

If I did not know about them, I would
thinking that they are not:) However, many
write to me about it, so I understand how wide the circle of 
admirers of my tracks at Speke. The only thing I want to say -

thanks for what gives me strength
be active so far:)

Which musical instruments
do you use (if there are such) in
the melody composing process? There
Do you have experience in other
platforms, and what do you think about this?

You mean the activity is
Speck? I write under the Amiga and pisi.
Going to write under the Atari. That
As for real instruments -
I am a professional musician, I
has already released 5 records (under various aliases), you can
read about it in the Encyclopedia of Russian electronic music.

You're self-critical? What is
your weakest point -
rhythm, melody, arrangement, etc.?

Do I love to criticize ourselves? Nobody likes to, but if 
someone doubt - he is mean-spirited liar:))

What is the weakest in my
things? Sad, but when I write
music at Speke, I can not
extract sufficient charm, which is, for example, at
c-jeff'a. c-jeff really tough son of a bitch :))))

What music do you listen to? What
teams / projects have affected your
approach to writing music, what
moods and feelings are you trying to convey through music? What 
do you think about remixes?


First, I listen to metal and
electronic music. There is a sense
only do electronic stuff
in Speke, so I'm trying to do something similar to the 
synth-pop, electronica, techno and so on. I

also add in their tracks the elements of art-rock and pro 
gressive rock.


Secondly, I would rather call it
"A cover of" than "remixes", in
Anyway, I made a few. In particular, for the album "AY RIDERS
play world hits ", and also for
several Spekovskih dem.

On which party you attended, what
place was the highest, and that
do you think about all this?

Ooooy in many. Highest -
the first place.

What do you feel when your track
played to the party? You care about sound,
equipment used, or all of the voting public is not
important?

I seem to care.

Do you have any interesting ideas about the future spekovskoy 
music? May have some ideas about hardware or software that 
could give a new push to bring new or

paints in the process of writing music?

The most interesting part of the digital
music - the use of General
Sound. This should be
distributed spektrumistov much wider than it is now. That
As for chip music, I have
some time pondering stretch for someone to make the interface 
with opportunity to use the filters (of course controlled

processor). But do not think that
Will anyone do that.

What for you is now the most interesting - to improve the 
technique, being within a certain style, direction or same 
experiment with sound and different approaches to writing songs?


And then another.

What unrealized ideas do you have? Maybe you would like to 
write the soundtrack for the game, or Deme generally try 
anything Why have not tried before, which could

would require new forces and new
use your talent?

The best, in my opinion, it would make as much as possible 
tracks for new format for Speke - SidSound,

made by the Czechs. But there is not a tracker, I think, Gasman 
change the situation:) 

What do you think about the co-kompozirovanii? I wonder whether 
this you? Name the three most interesting to you contemporary 
authors. 

Joint? That's cool.

3's? C-Jeff, TDM and other
from the project Ay Riders.

Say a few words to novice musicians.

I do not believe that there are still musicians new to the 
Speke: (
