 (C) Spencer


   According to tradition, and to integrate the ZX-People, 
continues a series of interviews with people who have 
credibility and a certain influence in ZX-world. Now, as a 
guest Kunafina Anton (KUNF / STL), I try to ask him a couple of 
traditional issues, while we have not moved to the banquet of 
sseyshena. Yeah, who knows KUNF'a, I will explain - this is 
primarily Moscow musician working vosnovnom in the most 
progressive mus-naprovleniyah. And we are driving: 


SPENCER> How it all began?

KUNF> What is it?

SPENCER> How did you get on the ZX?

KUNF> In 1991, I was wildly dragged from the game "VIDEO POOL".
     And decided to buy a computer. And he bought.

SPENCER> What configuration was he?

KUNF> 128Kb (type Pentagon'a), disk drive, AY-3-8912.

SPENCER> Where You get soft?

KUNF> Along with the computer I got about 150 CDs,
     Then, when I needed a new software, I decided sez dit on 
radio market in Caricino, where for some time on discs bathed 
in Agayeva Eldar, and then I came      familiar, such for 
example as VISUAL / MS ... 

SPENCER> And I believe, farther, the less you play
     liked.

KUNF> Yes, the time I paid a lot less games than in the past
     times. But over time I stopped playing at all,
     that comes handy. And he began to play only in selected
     Noe.

SPENCER> What game are you most played?

KUNF> The most likely "LASER SQUAD".

SPENCER> And what did you do on the ZX besides gaming?

KUNF> First sistemka that I learned was "SOUND TRACKER",
     in which I had before the "X" wrote the pieces 10 Mouzon. 
So      I enjoyed sistemkoy "SPRITE EDITOR 1", where Nari 
popped about 80 cartoons. 

SPENCER> You mentioned about the time of "X". What is it?

KUNF> This was a turning point in my musical practice in
     this very moment, "X" I have burned a monitor.

SPENCER> And what do you become?

KUNF> two weeks I did nothing. The next two weeks I
     listening to music from the demos and intrushek, and then, 
from nebezyz VISUAL'a known companion, I learned about new 
music      Editor - "DMM". And it is known to all the suspense

     on "hot keys". I learned them, entered the heart of this
     Editor and began to write music without a monitor. Since
     nothing but music from your computer to extract I
     could then wrote to 10-15 Mouzon week. And for those of 
the first floor      Yes, I sat without a monitor, I discovered 
a new set of the music and came to her to do. 

SPENCER> Which of your Mouzon you have a favorite?

KUNF> I've always liked my new Mouzon.

SPENCER> What editors do you prefer?

KUNF> For normal Mouzon - "PROTRACKER", and for the psychedelic 
optical and wildly bhp - "DMM". 

SPENCER> What do you do on planiiruesh ZX, besides music?

KUNF> I do not plan, I'm doing other than music - graphics, ani
     mation and a bit of coding.

SPENCER> Are you planning to do a collection of his music?

KUNF> I plan, at what on LP (vinyl).

SPENCER> And in which group you been invited?

KUNF> I have been invited to the group "STOLICHNAYA" (where I 
am now      number), I was also invited to "MEGADATE" and "ANTA 
RES". What is most interesting is that I for once, whereas the 
exchange tried to push the group "ARRIVAL". 

SPENCER> And what are your hobbies?

KUNF> Play-for-profit music, all the torment of his muse Coy by 
phone, pour cologne reviews, when they      go and deal with 
bullshit. 

SPENCER> What's your opinion on other platforms?

KUNF> PC - Machine certainly promising, but I think that
     hardly a man who truly loves
     PC.
     AMIGA - the platform is something similar to its Spectrum
     friendly, but still not AMIGA Spectrum.
     MAC - I personally such a machine would not stir, but a 
purely      for professional music-making (for those who do not 
value exists, it is the MAC, but PC is not used as a standard 
for profes sional music software).      MK85 - kick-ass thing: 
the teacher thinks it is      calculator, and then the formula 
for the entire semester. 

SPENCER> How do you feel about the newest game consoles?

KUNF> Newest (SEGA SATURN, SONY PLAYSTATION, PANASONIC 3DO)
     I have not seen in the work. So it really can not say 
anything      I can not. As for SEG'i, I sometimes like to cut 
the Xia in SONIC 3D or BOOGERMAN, and in general for anything   
   but I think toys are not suitable. 

SPENCER> Spectrum Perspective?

KUNF> Seems to me that in the near future on the Spectrum in 
general      there will be users. Remain only SisOp'y, MAKERy

     ORGANIZER'y and TRADE LEADER'y.

SPENCER> What do you want to tell everyone Spektrumistam in 
conclusion? 

KUNF> Serious question ... (Thinks) In order that people would 
remain      valis on the Spectrum they need any game into 
something      very steep and very steep trail from the demos, 
or de lat is something cool. Therefore, my wish to all      
MAKER'am on the Spectrum: "If you do not know and you are not 
cool      do not spit at all, and become cool and famous. "


SPENCER> That's just class! Thank you for an easy conversation, 
bye ... 


   Well, that's all guys! As they say in lectures, see you soon 
in the exams, but it sounds - as in the other world.
