          Interview with zHenYa / zERo

Wolf> First of all, tell us a little about
themselves. Name, is home, etc.
zHenYa> My name is Eugene Dalnikov. I
now 18 years old. I live in a beautiful city
Vilnius, which in turn is
in Lithuania.

   I am very beautiful:):) yeah just kidding, just kidding.
Almost done.
Wolf> When and how became interested in
Spectrum?
zHenYa> I started to get involved in Spectrum
somewhere in the 90-91 year. Then he brought me
Godfather and gave it to me for a day
birth. So I was happy! Much more
than I now give all sorts of gifts for
birthday.

   And I began to like everything with the Games. Played a very
a lot. From Speccy almost never left. And then
already started to show interest is something
do.
Wolf> On which machine is working?
zHenYa> I have my rulezny Pentagon
128K. Without any bloat. I do not support
all these screens with high-resolution, any
General Sound'y and Covox'y + Soundrive.

   I still I have a P133 which I
helps a lot in my daily
life.
Wolf> What do you like best
do on the Spectrum? (Music / Codes / Gfx ...)
zHenYa> What I like best
demomeyking and a sense of the scene, and I love
writing music, and nowhere on it does not
escape. :) And I love coding. This
developing brain:)
Wolf> How do you treat demomeykerstvu?
Tell me more. (What demos
like, and what does not, etc.)
zHenYa> K demomeykerstvu I am very
well. I love the demos and they grew up.
Of course I love to watch good replays. And
myself like to sit on the creation of the demo.
Very sorry for that now demomeyking
Speccy dies.

   I like the demos with the plot, with humor.
A not-showing-off demos with effects. I could
long smear FT98 demo compo, so do not
I will. Let me just say that the best I've found
Forever. And everybody liked Refresh - not
my taste. This is not a demo - a collection
effects. Although cool - I'm not arguing, but it
same Speccy, and not Amiga or PC. VAV'u be
doing demos on Amiga or PC, with its
knowledge. And to do on Speccy effects
who ate Speccy pull - not in
high. This is my imho.

   My favorite demomeykery - a DMS. Well
yet there were some cool demos
other groups - S4B, Condommed, etc.
Wolf> Here you say what you like about the demo
S4b. But Mac Buster / Xtr sometime
Channel # z80 said that s4b - lame. Explain
please, what attracted you this deme?
zHenYa> I caught this deme so that
it all is normal. Ie and code and gfx and
music and design. When I watched it, I do not
could break away from the monitor. What if something
something not to miss. The more they
timing made music under the demo. Very
addictive. I like it when the demo is
the music. Moreover, this demo did not show
Super achieve coding. While he was there
good. And the graphics are good. Yes, in general,
deme without guard (the problem of almost all who
doing demos).
Wolf> Tell me about your group.
zHenYa> Well, what can I say? Zero as Zero
This group is located in Lithuania for three
cities. Vilnius - it's HQ (I live here)
Klaipeda and Kaunas. We all grew up on
Speccy.
Wolf> What's new do. A few words about
Each of the projects.
zHenYa> Specifically anything right now. Start
do Robbo, but Kid hardly finish it. He
only promises. For him, I do not answer. A
still have the idea finally make a demo.
Here I will try:)
Wolf> What is the situation you have in the region with
Spectrum?
zHenYa> We in Lithuania with a Speccy
bad. Since many people buy a PC or
Playstation.

   Can of course there is Hidden
Amateur Speccy, but I'm not familiar with them.
More precisely, they with me.
Wolf> As far as I know, you're in your
the city has created a musical group. Tell
about it.
zHenYa> Well, in principle, yes. I have long
:) Appeared keen interest in music. We
Lithuania has the best sound recording.
Let us call it the ABC Records:)
Approximately 1.5 years ago I began my
hiking in it. And wore track'i that
wrote in Rajah'a home on a PC. But then this
was so LAME! Of course they told me
cultural and sent with the music:) But
the problem was that I had
Amiga, and on it even if you wish not to squeeze
sound quality as on a PC. Therefore, he wrote
y Rajah'a. But writing is not at home - it
you know what. Therefore, with the Amiga
had to leave - this is one of the reasons
transition to the PC. And after the acquisition of PC I
thought - Let the Fires. Will learn
write commercial music. It probably
All readers will laugh and ask themselves
question: "So what to write, if you are already
know how to write music on stage? The same
easy - bum-chik-bum-chik. And yet:). "Do not
Think Again. Officially declare to all:)
that all who go the same way that I -
very popoteyut! And very much so. After
then I realized that there are two big style
music, it is - the commercial and stsenovaya. I
knew how to write the second. Now understand and
first. Perhaps all is not understood.
Explain. Well, like what the coolest
stsenovy Mouzon? So for example all
famous Purple Motion "Second Reality" -
Well, take it to a host of
ORT Records, Union, etc. And look what
'll tell you - and then realize that I was
rights. If you do not believe, then take another
steeper stsenovy Mouzon and again covers:)

   There is another important point - it
mixing. Almost all Speccy music
make'rov, and not only on the Speccy is
it is lame. If anything interesting
learn about it - e-mail me! :) Oh, and one
day, neeee, there was already evening.
So I began writing dance track for
fun. Wrote a bit and threw - thought
all the same blot. And then took to listen to
friend, so he said and assured me that would be
I will definitely finish this track, which I
did. After that, ABC Records took this
track in the collection. Its played on the radio,
Advertising is the collection of TV, where leaves
my name. Cool! That's what
advertising, which makes ABC Records. AND
recently me and my friend finished the song. He
wrote the lyrics and harmony, and I did
arrangement. Then I took the microphone and we
I have made a home recording studio:)
He and his girlfriend, sang, and then recorded
real saxophone. And yet it must be
make beautiful sound. Try
sing and then the same. wav immediately impose
over the music. You will be disgusted to hear.
And all the songs sound beautiful. And why? Well
themselves think. Again, if anyone should -
I can tell you - e-mail me:) Well.
Then I have two days It all comes down, and
ABC Records thought that this song is all the same
not like it. And now I'm calling them - and they
say that as well.

   We agreed that I named tomorrow
I called and they agree with one of the
the best studio and we're going there all beautiful
record. I hope that it will. And if
ABC Records is get down to it,
advertising will be a good one! Both the radio and TV.
This is how:)
Wolf> read in one of the magazines, I
I learned that you had the Amiga. I would
wanted to see the transition from the Amiga to the PC at
You had a painful or not?
zHenYa> Painful or not? Probably not
than yes. And it was all true. I sold it in
the end of July 1998. And conceived as early as March
98-th, when he knew what to do
music seriously. I was looking for someone to sell that
very difficult, but everyone called me
a traitor, even though I was not care. I do not live
for others, but for themselves. And finally, I
found a man who would have bought, but he lives
in Riga. Well, okay, we
agreed on the deal and the company as part of
me, my father and Flp went to Riga.
We left on Saturday. Imagine my
sensation - a Friday night I am the last
just look at the Amiga on my desk.
Disable all of the wires, all packed into
bag and go to sleep. On Saturday she was not
my. It seems she still works:) I
thought that the PC will not see for a long time, and indeed
without a computer at home tight and boring, but
5 days later I had a PC on his desk.
That's what it means to persevere. And I sold the Amiga
because he wanted a normal
service. Want to - buy. And on the Amiga
everything has to be somewhere to look, and then
disposable prices. I now want and in their own
P133 play TombRaider 3, and the dude at
A4000 does not play as well as on the Amiga Tomb'a
As you know not. Then pile on the PC software,
Yes, and compatibility across there. And
hardware is cheaper. But I'm not a maniac PC. I do not
I will shout that he rulez, it is simply
machine that I need to work.
Wolf> Does not you do something for the PC demo
scene?
zHenYa> I think that there was nothing to do on a PC
I will not. Although there are zERo members, who
say they want to do, but I have nothing
of them have not seen specific:) I just do not
I want a second time to climb onto the stage, and who
there waiting for us on the PC scene? I Kid ^ zERo
asks: "Why do you write a commercial
music? Let's write scene music and
make a demo. "And I answered him the Power
TV, look at advertising and you'll understand:) And
Forgive me if I wrote a commercial
music, I see more likely that ABC
Records will take up her than stsenovuyu
for the demo, which as I understand it for a long time
will not.
Wolf> Feedback (criticism).
zHenYa> Who? You? Do not even know. Not
remember your work - sorry:) Well
wish is - less lamerstva.
Such as FT98 music compo. Make
seriously. As such we are:), DR, PSG,
DMS.
Wolf> A few words to our readers.
zHenYa> What can I say? Maintain
serious work, not lamerstvo. I have already
bored watching this demo / game with a left
graphics and no music at all.
