Interview - Interview zHenYa - sceners from Lithuania.
A: First of all I want to ask what the account is yours interview? Z: To be honest, I'm afraid to admit:) but anyway I'll answer in the newspaper - the first one. A: Well the first time, so should be able to really interesting, thank you very much, he agreed:) And I'm sure Our conversation get interesting. Z: I think so too, it is always interesting to read opinions different people. And besides, zERo - not some out there Nonamed group. So, as you probably guessed, my problem was resolved reply zHenYa from zERo, best known sceners Lithuania! A: I do not want to ask standard questions, but still in two words about yourself and how you came to the Spectrum? Z: Well, this is a very long story, maybe even longer than that others. I'm on the Speccy was somewhere about 7 years. My uncle gave me homemade Baltik, it at first and I was sitting. Later, Mom bought me Robik, he was very cool keyboard (Ars: almost as a byte)) But then, I and my paltsovkami felt in him something to solder and burnt ... Of the last money bought Pentagon'a fee, then AY, then DiskDrive, and finally 128K. Remember exactly what the final configuration I zaimel 2 September 1994. Well traveled ... I wanted something do ... And I did. Xotelos become famous. Xochu add that your entire Pentagon, I was collecting money from the past and they are very valued. When he broke me, inside me all the twist, almost heart did not stop. I'm the one same day, drove him to repair. I say that with my Speccy much were more feelings and memories, what with all Amiga'mi and PC. A: I must admit, World Eyes was the first group of Baltic countries, whose work I saw. How had the idea to create a WE? Z: Yes, it was davno. I have not yet had its configuration:), and only Robik with a tape recorder. And in our backyard came Rajah (Lech), he came from Bratsk, well we met, and on day birth he was given Spectrum. He delved into Basic'e I delved ... We sat together a lot ... Well, come up with World Eyes. To be honest - it came up with Rajah World Eyes. A: I immediately remembered one occasion when in a Moscow newspaper (in moymu Online) in the Revue novya authors King Valley was named by mistake is not the Minsk Group WE, and World Eyes;) Z::) It is interesting happened, I did not see it. And I remember case, we made the game "RTT". Its probably very few people saw (Ars: I've seen: it has somehow called RTT-48;)) We finished it in early 1996, and then, only a year later, I saw a newspaper type Online in the review of new software "RTT". The text was similar to the following: "Finally, you have opportunity to play in the Russian version of Trivial Persuit. And the game is not translated from English, and made from scratch. "Here I am Then glad that people liked. A: You see, after all you are probably not just with Rajah'om Many of these students, but also did much to WE, so that the name it has become associated with a group from Lithuania. Z: What about Rajah'a can say that the first work he WE really made a lot of it when we were still sitting on the tape recorders;) Then he did nothing - in 1995, then he back - in 1996. Then we wanted to make a megademo called Virtual Reality, and incidentally did a very steep for those times, Coming Soon, and I still load it, well, just Otpad and looks nice ... But in 1996 we did Ice Cream, and there Rajah took an active part. And in 1997 year, in the process of creating Excess'a, he took a passive participation: everyone will like Cube was written on Basic'e and his program just showed how calculating points and hidden faces, well, I rewrote to asm, made him turn and move. And the effect Jumping Chessboard we did before the release of XTC MD, and then - bam, the XTC it also did Second, we cried:) A: Well, on demah then;) Better tell me how you became acquainted with Flp? Z: Well, it's simple. Before I met Mas'om. It was winter from 1994 to 1995. And then I made my first big Demo - Real demo, probably none of you have not seen him, well well, and then lamerizm course. And then we did Mas'om School demo. He wrote Mouzon in ASM, I did code. Carried We are on the radio market to the same man who traded software. He rewrote it for myself, and drove all the time. Well, anyone not known at the time a man came to the radio market, saw this demo from a dealer and found out that she is from Vilnius. But there had my phone and he called me, though at first he pretended to be just a nick, and then started to do ... You should have seen it first work, he categorically prohibits anyone send! A: Xeh, yet to start somewhere, the level of coding grew up with every year, and I do not think anyone should be ashamed of Thee for their first work, the main thing - what came of it. But interestingly, you because we shall begin with, but not with the infinitive to the games. Still probably acted demomaniya that time? Now, if you Then I saw, for example IceCream, you would believe that it is your Work? :) Z: Well, actually everything is correct, but it is so, in my view lamerskie with lamerskimi texts that they only here and there. And what about dem - this is exactly the demo were My main software. And when I was still practiced in coding, I tried to do is not play, and the little demo of one parts, with several Mouzon. And in general - the demo is art, it's me and still like it. But if in 94 year I would see IceCream, it would not have believed that such could I do:) A: So, after meeting with Flp, you decided to join in Zero? Z: No, the idea came in October 1996. In the summer of 96-th I met Amilton'om. Actually FLP - this is not a group as some people think. I even saw someone from the Belarusians text intro "Greetz to all members of WE and FLP:):)" (Ars: it probably buggy Dr.Grifus or Minisong tried 8)) Flp - it's people. In fact, before he called himself in a different way, but I also will not tell anyone how ... He then offended. By the way, Flp is a derivative of his old Nick. A: That's why he offended? 8) (Here, for example our artist Werewolves had called himself Spite, just very fond of Sprite, and now - more and more beer;)) Oh you do not accidentally advised Flp call it? And by the way, once the conversation turned to nick'ah, Why do not you come up with myself some more cool nick? ;) Z: Well, Spite - more or less a decent name. And with the Flp - other history. But from the name, which he had before, I advised to rename the Flp. And what about yourself - many ask me this question. Simply, it has long gone. I am very the beginning of a so-called. Well, if you want a cool nick - it What do you think about "eLiTe"?? :) True Raver said nick is too hot for me:) A: So what was created Zero? Z: The idea has come true ... We have almost every evening sitting with Flp on the phone for an hour, that's doboltalis. :) A: Well, apparently it was a long-distance:) Z: Why? We are one of the city, and only Kid Rnd of Klaipeda, and we're all from Vilnius. In contrast, WE, name zERo I came up with. A: This is a random selection or all of the same in that there is some sense? Z: No, this is not a random choice. And what do you think random choice? That we are so called Excess sat with Flp in my house, and I opened for Rnd dictionary, and then - once, and came across the word "Excess":) Here is a random selection:) A: That is what I wanted to know - rendomno or not;) Z: Well, here meaning the one hand simple, and the other not. I would not be called as a medium, and wanted to call the vast and volume. Instead of calling Attack group or something Still, I thought zERo. In my opinion one of the best names in the Speccy scene. Speaking of names, the name of the group can determine that it is all about. I have seen so lamerskie group names that just takes a laugh. Interestingly, Why are more people with brains were not smart enough to call themselves MegaSoft or SuperSoft. A: Yes, honestly, this is a very interesting point of view;) I here can say the following. With regard to any soft'ov, then it is, IMHO, simply a relic of the past. Earlier this fashion was. So, actually, "suffix" soft yet nothing said;) And besides, I know several soft'ov that truth is not all now soft'y:)) - for example Mastsoft, Nicksoft, Minisoft, Handysoft, Starsoft 8-) - which actually is the beer you can drink;)) I think you did not mean it. Yes, the names are very different, for example, we had a ZX-Legion, is More Smokers Hackers Group, Pro Hackers Dynasty, there were funny twitch Optical Brothers ... I think so, we must first of all look at the group's work to judge it, but by name sometimes opredelish hu is hu. Better yet, to talk in person;) A: By the way, you do not take offense when some of greetings'ah write instead of Zero - 0? :) Z: Yes, in principle, no. Some greets write three letters, to save space, and then write - 0. So rather than offended than offended. A: When you started making music? Can you say that you learned from somebody else's music? Who was the model for you? Z: I started making music (if what I wrote then you can call music) at the beginning of 1995. There simply was not a good musician. Was Mas, but it was not very active. A I wanted to write scary music. I sat for hours in the ST. Not going to hide that he learned from somebody else's music. At the time I povydiral Mouzon of Satisfaction'a, Insult'a and works DMS - example of Assorty and other things. And it understood. An example for me then was Imp & Klav. Although now it turns out that a lot of music in Satisfaction were stripped from mod'ov or songs. There's very little creativity Klav'ovskogo. Yea, I want to say that I owe my knowledge Spectrum'u music. A: Many people will support me in what is now your music has your style and your work you can always learn. Although, in Recently you did a lot of good conversions from other Platforms ... Z: Yes, thank you for the compliment. Incidentally, I, too, so well-know musicians on Speccy, when uploaded ZX-Format # 6, then I do not even have to climb and watch composer. I Mouzon Jaan'a learned with my eyes closed:) Recently, I confess that I was too lazy to write Mouzon in the intro. Yes, and Flp requested something with Amiga. In recent intra All Mouzon - conversion. A: Sure, you've got it bad happened, but I would like to to hear more original music. Q: It certainly, I do not argue, because I used to only himself and composed. Here's something completely new and original from me you will hear on Funtop'e. A: By the way, no wonder at Funtop'e banned digital music compo, as mentioned in connection with the complexity of determining originality "But about the usual music compo such comments are not was. I certainly understand that there was due to the conversion finished stranger Mouzon on the other platform. And Mouzon, successfully translated by AY from a song or a television movie (Remember, for example, impeccably written "Sherlock Holmes "by Jaan'a on E'97:))) it has nothing to do. But Still brand new, composed by Mouzon in my opinion more valuable. After all, every good musician should be well composer. Z: I think that digital music should be slowly buried. She was a peak when no one had an editor and compiler, and groups, which could make Digital Music in the works was cool - CBS, DMS, Flash, Golden Disk. And now Everyone has an editor, and we regret that in Ice Cream put in digital music. Although everything is done qualitatively, I not putting in their samples, and converted the original, all wrote a note to the notes, and it all sounds cool, but ... enough be digital music! Yes, of course, penned more than Mouzon valued than conversion, because when a person composes Mouzon, it becomes clear his creative richness (or poor), and when it converts, you can really that simple learn to draw nice and all, although it is too difficult. A that is the ideal - is a composer and designer in one person. A: I know that you're one of the few who supported the ongoing relationship with Imp'om. Have you talked to him about Spectrum'e? Z: Yes. We Imp'om a good relationship. I talked to him about Spectrum'e, it is natural. But he was not interested in it. I I will not get it. Incidentally, it is true that he never be a man "pull the hand," if you do not want - no need to especially on stage, and he will do everything tyap-boo-boo. He told me sent a CD of his music, which I think many do not heard. A: It's probably just something that plays in the ZX-Element'e:) It is a pity that the Imp so long held its last hudby at home. Z: Well, Zx-Element'e # 2, only a few of his Mouzon, I have more. In general, we have much in common with Imp'om. A: For example what? Z: Well, looks at the scene, although I certainly still have a lot learn from him. For example, reading an interview with Imp'om I agreed with him on all 99%. I think we have the same and sense of style. When I watch replays DMS, I understand what he wanted to achieve a particular phrase, or this or that effect. A: Everyone likes to ask - and I ask:) Xochetsya know your view PC vc Amiga. Do you think that professional music can only be done on a PC? Q: My opinion neutral, I'm not a rabid amizhnik, and I'm not rabid pesetovets. Amiga I had exactly one year and very good with it met. This is a good car for the soul. But my soul is already busy Speccy and Amiga place there no place. A Amiga I sold it and bought a PC. Exclusively for work. I will not one sentence or dissuade from these machines. Simply someone like that - let on that it works. With regard to music, then I think it can be done on Amiga, just everything it would cost many times more expensive. And the choice is less. What I need, want AWE64GOLD - please go buy. Wanted Cubase - went out and bought the CD. And on the Amiga all to be found, get and very expensive Amiga computer. Under his hardware much more expensive. And I do not want to turn my head and chose the PC, because, and so enough worries. People who once sat on the Amiga, love him as we love the Speccy. Well, I first sat on Speccy, and all the memories I have associated with it. Oh, how I felt on the Speccy, but on the Amiga I just "cold" sitting, that's all. A: Yes, I understand you want to say that it still is that your work on the Amiga was little anyone interested? But Your music on the Amiga, too, not bad:) Z: Yes, not only in this case. Just to break into the Amiga scene I would have to blow more than Speccy. And I know as far as hard work and too lazy. Yes, and start all over initially did not want to, I am happy to work on the Speccy. As Imp said, I will go somewhere in the PC party - who put me there knows? So it seems and I have, I have many good friends at Speccy, I feel good with them, and climb into someone else's sandbox, I do not wanted. And the Amiga, I wrote somewhere 8.7 Mouzon, plus many unfinished. If anyone interested, I can send listen. In general, I believe that the level of my music on Speccy higher than the Amiga. A: Let's go back to the creation of Zero. Is it true that Zero - this is international association? Z: Well, when we created the Zero, that it included WE, Flp and Amilton. Then I met Kid'om from Klaipeda, and then since Rnd - Kid'a friend, and we took them. Now there are good People from Kaunas, too, think that they will not ears flapping, and will contribute its share in the Zero. And about I.A. .. Yes, we argued with Raver'om, and he was right, that Zero is not IA, because it only includes members from Lithuania. Although a look at Zero has 7 members, 4 of which are Russian (Zhenya / Rajah / Mas / Amilton) and 3 Lithuanian (Flp / Kid / Rnd). A: I think what you've done a lot for the development scene in Lithuania. What you currently have a situation. Are there still other existing group? Z: Again, thanks for the compliment. I actually collected "all Lithuania "and to his feet. The situation in Lithuania with the Speccy is not the best. Who's Zero, he was still more or less from the Speccy, and others sell it, buy a PC or playstation. Although the Who knows how many there are silent and hidden spektrumistov with us:) Other groups, but they are so insignificant that they can hardly be called groups. A: But did you think Zero to expand in the future? Z: If poyavyatsya new members, in which I am sure that I have nothing against, just have not appeared yet:) Well What about plans for Zero, I think, a very detailed write in a demo. A: Sorry for the somewhat unexpected question ... But I want to know Your opinion on Zero relations with other groups. Here, For example, it is true that you were unhappy that CodeBusters use your Mouzon? What there was the matter? Z: Yes, okay. It is common question. I always try to keep good relations with all groups, I think so obtained. But CBS knows who imagined themselves. Nose raised, and fingers - a fan:) They are all regarded as a pioneer and on each can spit. Their peak was in 1994, well in 1995, then they began to fall. They do not give yourself any report. For example, well unless Eyeache good demo? Well, not with Vibration compare. Of course, code by Rst7 good, no words, but else: music, gfx, finally style - all this is gone. A EyeAche2?? Well, actually ... More Rst7 said at a E'97 phrase that "I looked all these demos, but they EyeAche2 next is not littered with "Well, S4B?? It's a masterpiece!" And rightly so said the Imp in the ZX-Element # 2: "The next demo will be called Grandiose victory ":) That's how it happened, I would have said nothing if they tore our Mouzon from the demo of 1995 "Snack" (Which you probably have not seen), would insert into EyeAche2 and credits would have written the author. But then they did would CBS'ami? Where there, they tore out, so Slash this Mouzon More and ispohabil, they stuck him and wrote music by Slash. Who does not believe and want to hear the original - write, all send. A: I did not expect that CBS will insert a new demo Mouzon 95-year, but in any case, EA2, of course, lost and S4B, and even Binary Love on all counts. Z: Yes, they're just zazhralis glory, it would be better for the style followed. A: Okay, here is another thorny issue. I did not ask about it Raver'a:), but as you yourself refer to "competition" Zero vs Phantasy for the title of Baltic # 1? Z: Yes, it's just a "sporting event". Generally, these inscriptions in the intro came up with Flp, PHT is well and have seen and also began to write. And generally, I am at PHT very good attitude and do not going to drown them in a swamp, to get the title Baltic # 1. :) A: No, well, why do so immediately sink:) We probably need to more work, and then this issue resolved itself. A voobsche how you feel about competition on Spectrum'e? Does this creation? Or vice versa, the statements "Yes, we - cooler, and you ..." can play a bad role, and even discourage them to do anything at all. At least changed if anything in this regard, because now the situation with Spectrum'om completely different than 2 years ago. Z: Competition - I have two hands! After all, if you will a sit and not do anything he wants. And when you see that someone outdid you, you also want to outdo the ego. No need to ever write bezpochvenno phrase "we - cool, and all case, we must work, and then people will see themselves, who are cool, but who is not. A: And if there was any such idea - make a formidable group in the Baltic? Were there any such proposals from Raver'a? :) Z: None. I think that and not have it, the more people, so more chaos. And yet if there will be two of the organizer - I Raver ... Should always be the one! A: Xehe, why? Well here we are actually two organizers - Nicksoft and me:) Z: Yes, not only in this case. Simply Zero and PHT - two different groups with different ideas, just in my opinion is better to remain so what there is to compete, because competition and gives Gambling, which is why party so interesting. A: Now PHT will be sorely missed muzaker'ov ... Jaan left the army: ( Z: Yeah, I'm sorry, but I spoke with Jaan'om, he said that he would ran home. A: That's right, then on irc is running too:) Simply, I am a that perhaps you now become the best action musician in the Baltic States;) Z: Well, if so, then so be it. If I am asked to PHT help with the music - I never refuse. A: Okay, enough about that, now some more questions demomaykerstvu. The first demo was called WE IceCream. Location there was such a name? :) Z: He again came up with Rajah. I had thought to call the demo, as if it was fashionable, some buzzword that no one understands. For example, I still remember the options as "Transplantation" and "Extravaganza", but called simply - Ice Cream:) A: And that picture with the ice cream was invented after the elections name? ;) Z: Oh, and she likes me and now, although there is no beautiful color transitions and all that, she's just a simple, a genius - in the simplicity:) A: As you yourself think about this demo? Z: It's a good demo, can it inferior to the other by code / mus / gfx, but there is some kind of lightness, something I like it, some kind of simplicity or something. I'm pleased with it and put it to the + sign. And how much effort was invested in it! Rajah in Thursday (I still remember) was supposed to leave for Enlight96, and in Tuesday is the day we were sitting in front of Speccy and did Triangles part, no porom came outside, like some lunatics. Just to loss of pulse to work. A: By the way, just did this part of me the most and remember! This simple effect with a swirl triangle really looks cool. Z: Yeah, so no wonder the loss of pulse to work. By the way you noticed that all the effects that were invented Rajah brand new. Triangles (they are now in EyeAche2), 3D Cube, Jumping Chessboard and another ball in the coming soon VR MD. There just a spectacle that pleases the eye. A: How long does she do? I understand that you simply to make music than to encode, and therefore to make IceCream has a hard time! Z: She began to be made in mid-June 1996 and was made slowly and then gradually approached Enlight96, and we have to do it more often. And then - in general, each day. Yes, I like to write music than coding (As Imp'u), but I had to encode. A: Xmm, like even he had so to defend against someone attacking someone called him a lamer. But Of course, this is complete nonsense, and the one who said this, himself a is. And anyway, in my opinion, everyone should do just His job because he has more turns, whether it is music, coding, or organayzerstvom, but that seldom happens. And yet, I think Zero is not enough strong coder (although like all:) And what could make you - very nice. Z: Yes, that would have us such a strong and active as a coder VaV of MegaCode, so we would land upside down put:)) Rajah, By the way, a strong coder simply does nothing. But what did, at one time was pretty kruto. A: Excess, in my opinion, yet been made on the order of better! And I think that the best work of Zero now time. Z: What better way is better, but actually for me it is worse than IceCream. Although our code better and better gfx and music better, but it kind of boring ... We are all disappointed in Excess'e. A: It seems that the only thing that there zatyanuto, because it is part of vector shapes. The rest are all pretty fast. Z: Yes, what about 3D-part Flp has told me that should be removed, but I did not listen. And the rest as a zatyanuto, but with S4B do not compare at all. A: During the creation of Excess because you had to actively engage organayzerstvom. Z: Yes, it is. It was necessary for all people to run. To everything worked. Still, we did not Excess with such feelings, as IceCream. I provided a lack of time, and we started it do as much in March 1997 and in early August, she was fully prepared. A: What do you mean "not with such feelings? Influenced by whether for this failure with IceCream? Although at E'96 were also present demo-losers. A IceCream just lost a worthy rivals ... Z: Simply Excess done as a cold, and in principle, one I it did, and that is bad, the more goals the better. Of course same, Amilton also put a good share of the Excess ... And on any failure, there can be no question, I am pleased IceCream'om, and what he lost the cool demo, it's obvious. A: In the epilogue Excess you called all together and make the same scene on the Amiga as well as on Spectrum'e. What's in your understanding of "SCENE"? Do you think that there is a Spectrum scene in Lithuania? Z: Yes, I called, but, alas, was wrong ... Just then, I zaimel Amiga and baldel from her, but then everything was settled and became its places, and I just realized that the Amiga could not fit in my soul, because there are all replaced by Speccy, and I just used it to work: e-mail/inet/mods/texts etc. In short, there is in the epilogue I lamernulsya. Scene for me - it is something special, words can not explain it, it should be feel! As is sometimes expressed in Flp about any lamer with Speccy: "He really did not breathe the scenes. I Speccy scene like I did with him can not help it. A in Lithuania is not a scene, it's a pity. A: Well there is Zero, and this - a scene! Z: How is it? The scene - this is when many groups are cooperated and contacted, and at Zero monopoly in Lithuania:) A: Over the last six months of work by Zero decreased, Flp ago was not visible, instead Amilton'a logs for Zero draws Hazard / PHT. What happened? Z: Oh, just all start to "grow up", there are other care. At Flp now has found, though lately he made some great releases with the purple intro. And with Hazard'om simple. We corresponded, and he suggested draw a logo for us, but to me that to refuse? :) And with Amilton'om yet quiet. He is now scared Amigo. Recently bought a 030/50 Mhz, now he's cool. I have not seen it. A: That will be the occasion to meet;) In general, Zero, is the same Still Spectrum group, but because someone in what is now works (PC, Amiga) is not so important. Z: I'm afraid to go to him, you do not know his grandmother:), well then that zERo - Speccy group, no doubt. A: What are your future plans? Z: Well, my plans ... I do not know. I want to release a demo, but not such that all the hitting, as he said Imp "number of points on the screen, and just a good demo, that is enjoyable by code, music and gfx. And all this is done tastefully and with humor. Mouzon was ready, and I am completely satisfied, probably one of my best Mouzon on the Speccy. It will be like Rehabilitation after Excess'a. Well, I think it will be even crack'i of Flp from me. And yet I sometimes visit the idea of making musicdisk. What do you think? A: I will say in confidence that I too have a similar idea, as a decent demo, we explicitly not afford, and with music and gfx we have everything in order;) By the way, may soon release DcPak collection of the best Mouzon (Mouzon Mast'a I already sent him, By the way thx 2 Mbr ^ x7m;) Z: Well, to make musicdisk'u:) And I talked about DcPak this, I'll send him. A: Will Travel Is Zero on Funtop? Z: At Funtop nobody will go, I do not want to offend the organizers, They're trying, organize ... In Peter Enlight was like party, and Funtop in my opinion is just a bunch of sisopnikov. AND it's not just my opinion. Yes, and Moscow we somehow did not please ... A: Well, in Peter sisopov probably be a little more:) And what is your attitude to the idea of a virtual party - Virtual Funtop? Z: It is well. I would participate. After all, really good You can not go anywhere, and everything will be OK. A: What do you want to wish those who stayed for another Spectrum'e and on stage. Who do you want to say hello to? :) Z: I want to wish that they supported the Speccy and lamer, because the major groups on the Speccy can be handful. Well Hello - please read any intro;) A: Xehe, but where are the hi Fatality? :) I guess we - not a serious band =) Z: Is not no in the intro? Well, if I accidentally let it slip business, then hello to Fatality! :) A: Thank you very much for this interview!
