Интервью

VIP - an interview with one of the most progressive artists in the Spectrum Diver/4D.

 Interview with one of the most progressive, and certainly 
without a doubt, with most active artist today's scene.

 Meet - Diver/4D!

[?] - Arty NooonZen
[!] - Diver/4D
@
[?] Introduce yourself, please.

[!] Golubtsov Alex. On the spectral known as Diver, in IRCNet as
OrangeFox.

[?] Tell us a little about yourself (age, marital status and
etc.) when you first touched the keyboard, Spectrum, and
Which group do you currently a member?

[!] Well, it is some form ... :) 1921 I, not married, children
no. About the Spectrum. You probably wanted to ask, why
began my acquaintance with computers?

[?] Is possible and so to interpret, although I had in mind only
speccy =)

[!] I first saw a computer class at the fourth or fifth. Then I
gamilsya in luggage on some miracle of film-clave. Since then,
interactivity with the program,
laid down in the car, so fascinating to me that I was
just a maniac. He started playing at the BK Electronics yes.
Having been Agate (similar to Apple II, unless I am mistaken), 
MSX, Atari, Dendy - in game parlors sample 89-90 years. It was

rulno. Then it all came the Spectrum. In exactly to the end
January 91go ancestors I bought a Leningrad 48 (on which I have 
to so far, and am ... joke). Maybe that's when everything

started, since the first cassette I had Art Studio
48. The whole New Year's Eve I Hacked in Saboteur and Super 
Chopper, and in the morning, rising up to 8 hours of 
commercials, I began to deal with the Art Studio ... Again, a 
joke. In spite of everything, still nothing began. So I 
gamilsya and lamer until the end of the year 97go. 

[?] Interestingly ... Lamer 6 years - probably zaparno? =)

[!] Hmmm ... depending on what you think, lamer. In the 
beginning it was fun (friends, copying games, etc..), then 
people began to blame, and something I already did - breaking 
simple loaders obessmerchival, dabbled The machinery codes (not 
asmom, namely mash.kodami), invent a sverhkrutye aliases ... 
Hacked in adventure (unsuccessfully) - there has been 
napryazhno as Friends of remaining units (for SPEC). I did not 
notice it Time has flown by. And when I bought the Scorpion ... 
Oh shit, really winter 96 th ... Damn, already 3.5 years:) Yes, 
I am lamer is thorough. When he came in the mail Scorpion - joy 
knew no bounds. But there AY was - BAC, with a broken channel B 
(the defect of the AY), but I do noticed at once. And what once 
remarked, is the fact that instead of 5.25 There was a 3.5 ... 
Mother, I long, as we have soft sold only in five ... A to 
97mu, the soft sell stop (or rather, I simply had no contacts 
...) But! in this same time terminalku our department hooked up 
to connect to Internet. Remembering Zool00k'a letter in an old 
spectrophone I went to the IRC. But at the moment came just let 
the Czechs Slovaks ... Me with my primitive English ignored, 
and I scored on this matter ... somewhere before Summer: (To 
format hobeta I had not suspected. Specifically, I suspect that 
something is (when hand carried demos with e96:), but what 
tools did not know anything, I'm not talking about ftp / www 
with the software under trdos ... Downloaded all the adventure 
with the WOS, and began diskovat them, of course, without the 
save / load, if only to ship. On 150 somewhere to stay. I 
lacked the time:). Especially love serials SAGA, Questprobe, 
Digital Fantasia. S.A.G.A., sorry so far all have not found ... 
Well, of course mozgodrobilki from Level 9, while they were 
still available, too, not all, nor was I have one (IMHO they 
are generally very few people went). Well, then, poured 
irtsshnuyu in life acquainted with all, but at the end of 97go, 
As I recall, was formed 4th Dimension. 

[?] How bad do you think is important in the life of the 
Spectrum is Internet, and if he plays it at all? What makes you 
personally Internet communication? Is not this exclusive club, 
since most spektrumistov not yet have access to it?


[!] Role of the Internet? If it were not for the internet, 
there would be no 4th Dimension (we met on irc, living in the 
same city, another opportunities simply did not exist). Would 
not it be 4D, there would be no Diver'a. I do not know how much 
it matters:). One does not live fido will. Rather fido - buddy 
club, because I get to the 'Net much easier. In general, the 
role of the internet I can only judge by yourself ... Although 
not. Zabugornye spektrumistskuyu crowd, I think a small part of 
our virtual model of the future (in no the best case). Judging 
by them, the Internet - a basic link the entire scene. Of 
course, we will be different, but, IMHO, is very similar.

 That for me internet communication? That is precisely through 
dialogue irc / e-mail ... Same as regular communication:) just 
here widely as possible and have the same time. Shire - the 
exchange rate information already - characteristics of virtual 
communication as such. In the beginning, irc was like a drug. 
This often happens on lack of communication in life, despite a 
lot of friends and acquaintances. In the Internet easier to 
find people with similar interests (At least to me).

 On the Specifics of access. Generally, I got to internet due 
to the fact that he studied at the Perm State Technical 
University. In my opinion, almost all major universities have a 
connection. By the way, also recently ended a program Soros on 
the opening of a classical university UIC - university internet 
centre - classes open access to the Internet. By At least here 
in Perm made almost Freestuff lostup for all residents of the 
area, time-limited course, but still ... Just in case, here is 
a list of cities where there were open UIC:


Barnaul ASU Kazan, Novgorod, Kazan State University NSU Saratov 
Saratov Blagoveshchensk ASU Kaliningrad KSU Novosibirsk NSU 
Tver TSU Vladivostok Kemerovo DSU KSU OSU Omsk Tomsk TSU

Volgograd VSU Krasnodar KSU Perm PSU Tula, TSU
VSU Voronezh Krasnoyarsk KSU Petrozavodsk PSU Ufa BSU
Ekaterinburg UGU Makhachkala DSU Rostov-on-D .. RSU Cheboksary 
CSU Izhevsk UGU Nalchik KSU Samara Saratov Yakutsk YSU

ISU, Irkutsk, Nizhny Novgorod State University Novosibirsk 
State University Saransk Yaroslavl YSU 

 And in St. Petersburg, for example, an hour at an internet 
cafe is 15r (Serzh 2 day of sitting during CC'999). I actually 
have a maximum of 6 hours week, this is almost enough to get 
all the information exchange of letters, and sometimes even 
have time to chat on irc:).  So it is not that the Internet and 
reach. In extreme cases, you can live with only one e-mail'om, 
by correspondence can be get everything your heart desires.

 Once upon a time, and I only dreamed about the Internet, but 
life has shown - with the Every day its availability increases. 
Do not hang your nose, gets the Internet and to you, if you 
have not got. 

[?] Your current main lesson schedule or something else?

[!] Well, the main course schedule. Are you expected to hear 
that I then there's the type Exploder / Visual / Imp # 2? No, 
I'm quite vain, to hide some advantages:). Except of course 
pixels still dabble limited ASCII, and sometimes sling ink at 
Wikipedia # Z80, rip AY modules sharyus on an Internet, 
transcribed by e-mail. 

[?] What if you have still any hidden talents =) Perhaps
you clean the potatoes quickly, or a parachute jump, or
volunteer GreenPeace? =)

[!] Hehe, might have, but they have to do with computers
have:)

[?] Unfortunately, many would be interested to know more about 
the famous people outside the profile of their principal 
activities ... Can you tell about hobbies / hobbies / favorite 
music and videos directions / do you love dance club'y / girls 
/ with whom and where usually spend the time / etc briefly?


[!] Well too straight and "famous"? Conceited same: - \. 
Remember: "Mr. Pollack that interests you in life?" - "Jazz, 
Boxing and Sex! ". Joke:) The main hobby - this is probably the 
spec. Further, I do not imagine myself without my favorite 
music and friends.  Music, like someone might have already had 
time to notice - goa (psychedelic) trance. 80% of time spent at 
the computer I only listen to goa (kalbasit so much that once 
something do you want, such as to show off ascii :-). But, 
thank God, have the sense sometimes distracted and listen to 
something completely another. For example, I love The Shamen, 
Orbital, Suzanne Vega, Depeche Mode, JMJ, Banco De Gaia, Art Of 
Noise. By the way, why no one ever asks what the interviewee 
does not like:) Do not love: pumpin house, blumchen, Russian 
pop music. To the classics and Jazz just is not mature enough.

 By the way, I love very AY music:) DJ CONT, VISUAL, IMP, JAAN,
MAST ... very often listen to.
 Video. Rare for some reason. Damn, that will pay, necessarily
Matrix will buy. In general, the videos look a little, much 
less than I would like. Genres - hard to say. Thriller. Love

interesting, twisted, believable plot, different
psychological subtlety. Beautiful special effects, too, not 
least role, but only as an appendage (eg, "MIB" I do not

especially pinned). For example: "The Silence of the Lambs," 
"Seven", "12 Monkeys "(seems to be 12:)," Luna-44 "or lighter 
-" The Fifth Element. "From a purely psychological veshchichek, 
for example -" Better does not happen. "Still love the old 
series like" Indiana Jones ", "Ghostbusters", "Police Academy" 
and others - childhood memories:)) But "Star Wars" did not 
particularly like. IMHO, this is purely for the fans. Of fresh 
fiction, waiting that "Lost In Space" will be less (Paracels 
praised) - turned out to be crap Straseni except special 
effects. So many holes in the plot and the extra bells and 
whistles that look sick. Problevalsya shorter.

 Dancing Clubs. Would these clubs, they still ... disco we
lazhovye. Artie, as you like the slogan: "We
All styles of dance music (transfer, units 10 styles) "-
but goa trance, and even simply no! Simply have nowhere to 
revel under the goa trance: (, still has not gotten to Perm 
civilization.'m short rarely at the disco, but when I am, then 
we have come off at full speed under the Shura and the 
scooter:).  Gals. Oh Girl, girl. Time tear is not less than 
spec. Usually spend time hanging out with friends:). We have a 
regular youth subculture. Long to explain on the basis of what 
and why:). On the basis of the usual hangouts half a year ago 
and formed spekovskaya hangouts. There and spend the time gap 
between the two massives. 

[?] By the way, just a question about ASCII / ANSI. Do you 
think they possible on the Speccy? Most likely it will be 
something your own, such as strictly divided as in the PC / 
Amiga? 

[!] Why not? There are two differences only, it is something 
that the PC, ANSI can be displayed at any scale (eg 800 * 600 * 
256 You can look at and it will be almost 8bit pixel art), and 
familiarity there is smaller. Generally, the same standard then 
- by party - mode 80 * 25 + colors - that is, familiarity 
rectangular. Be on Speke attributes 4 * 8 pixels - would be 
even compatibility :)... Therefore, at Speke not ANSI, the 
maximum - a colorized ASCII, yes and then attribute to the 2 
characters. Of course all this is possible, I'll not talking 
about black and white ascii mode 64 * 24 - it looks the same 
and the PC mode DOS/80 * 50 or WindowsFixedFont. Therefore, as

ascii artist began at Speke, and then easily switched to PCs. On
Amiga, I think, ASCII looks similar:)

[?] How do you think about whether to raise and promote it as a
new and interesting direction? Or is it not for the speccy and 
this no one will do? That development is needed?


[!] Hmmm ... And how to pick it up? Com I do? And in general,
as an independent art form in Speke, it does not exist.
Only as a design element of the texts for demam or in the press.
In my opinion, especially you it does not razovesh. Even if
com hold. While there is no simple ascii art (almost).
So I think it's too early. Itself will evolve over time.
 Speccy for it or not? Of course for him. Font is there? Ascii
standard characters, then on the Spectrum it be. A color
ascii (it is not ansi, since ansi includes characters
color management and so on., and the Spectrum in 4 * 8 
character is not can have a single color), color ascii 
(including pseudographics) can also be isolated in a separate 
direction, but For some reason I was not particularly attracted 
to it. It's almost like color chunky ... Have the option to 
make a full ANSI - 8 * 8, but with a distance it should look? 
:) Yes and 32 * 24 a little too much. Here if 64 * 25 
characters + colors, it's almost like on a PC will be! I I do 
not know, in the mode of 512 points possible?? 

[?] Do we have to Spectrum stratum of artists, and can
whether to develop this direction of the scene just within the 
Spectrum? 

[!] Is there a layer? If you did not know:) I
asking me the authority that there some? OK. No offense
all will be said, but ASCII drawing on the spectral nobody 
knows. In pseudographics - you da D-Man/EI more or less 
decently something doing anything else as a disgusting look, 
well, maybe More Demiurge Ash ... Although once again, I may be 
and what not seen.

 After all, if you think that I do not particularly little 
light. DoxyCon98 logo, Scenergy Charts (shame and disgrace) ... 
Else on the PC Yes Amiga - Chaosite logo, a log pile for 
different teams, somewhere half has not been published ... 
Well, no, emphatically, I am still very newcomer, but the 
bazaar spread as a guru of some:).  And develop a direction? 
Yes of course will develop, where it disappear. There would be 
people. In fact, they have been tortured. But they are not whom 
to compare themselves, apparently. Or is it a drum on the 
quality, I do not I know.


[?] What would you advise a beginner, who is now trying his 
hand at ASCII / ANSI?


[!] Watching what they want. If you read the article printed in
Buzz, could get quite a different impression of
ASCII'ANSI. In short there is absolutely different people draw. 
If take a sample of that article, then Spectrum bulk ascii

artists, and everything seems to be as OK. But the whole 
stsenovaya ascii, I do not talking about ansi, looks to put it 
mildly, not so. In general, I would simply advised to look at 
other people's work. The more, the better. I did not know PC / 
Amiga ASCII / ANSI scene, but from our own, with PC, I would 
recommend you look at the work DiZz / NRG ^ GAS, but from 
Western ... Well, for example, to design SCENET # 29 or more 
Early numbers. This is in ASCII. And according to ANSI 
constantly held compo on different party.


[] Do you consider yourself and the scenery there is on the 
Spectrum scene (in global understanding of the meaning of the 
word)? 

[!] Oh-ho-ho. Well question for. Talk about these things is 
enough difficult (since there are no clear rules), but at the 
same time simple enough (if these rules are simply to take and 
identify for themselves). Sceners I? Apparently, yes. Since I 
am in some way interested in computer art, and he tried 
something do. To be the scenery of this, IMHO, is enough.

Other definitions of the word "sceners" I do not know. With 
this all simple.



[?] Rather curious definition, it turns out that every lamer
having done anything automatically becomes scenery? Hmm, do not
I think ... Wider than necessary to give definition, wider =) 
Try to develop idea!


[!] Yeah, Artie, do you think, so lamernyh scenery does not 
happen:) That is, do you think that sceners - is the one who 
made a significant contribution, or simply not lamer and doing 
something? IMHO, this is definition is no better. Can a clear, 
someone recognized, definition is, again, I do not know. In my 
opinion, nevertheless, clearly One can not say. It will always 
be vague concepts - sceners, lamer, a significant contribution. 
I mean, certainly there are people with respect to which one 
can clearly say - this lamer, this taxis, and this, in general, 
the pillar of the scene. But about the other interest 80 - Who 
are they? I therefore determine for themselves so. Sceners - 
was involved in the computing scene. That's all. In another 
way, no way I can not. And how to define you?


[?] I even try I will not give a clear definition, in the end
I am taking all the interview =) I can only say only that the 
lamer sceners not believe and firmly draw the line. I agree that

Everyone has their own style and level. Progressive
person immediately noticeable, and they become real
sceners. The scene - a steady progress, otherwise - quagmire ...

[!] Can be so. Scene = progress sceners = progressive. This
much more narrow definition, but too well founded.
 But is there on the Spectrum scene in the global 
understanding? Blin, Artie, you ask too. I would not say that I 
know what a scene a global understanding. Moreover, I do not 
know what is the definition terms "stsenovy Mouzon", 
"stsenovaya picture" - here I just lost. I have my own 
subjective view and everything. But the question is asked, so 
I'll answer. Scene no. At As I do not feel that it is. Do not 
forget that I am not visited any one demoparty, but we must not 
forget how to resources I have access. This and my opinion. 
People say that scene no longer exists, it dies / died. But I 
think she's just in the throes of born. Unfortunately there are 
also stillborn children (heh, heh - BornDead, I do not remember 
what there under that MMA had in mind). Although not must be 
taken seriously these words, because in order to talking about 
life scenes are to be defined: what a scene (I'm not too laden?)


[?] Interesting idea ... That is happening now, although not
so we would like. The birth scene is painful. Here
many factors. How do you think will come out if anything out of 
it and you need to do, in your opinion?


[!] Is likely to come out. I can not say for sure. You see,
just talked to one person in the # z80, as
turned out they were actively engaged in the production of two 
games, and more projects exist, but it just does not consider 
it necessary to advertise anything until a clear assurance that 
the projects completed. After all, we were witnesses to a heap

advertised projects simply gone into oblivion. Or projects
who are not benefited too much advertising (it is about you, 
but you and he is very familiar with). This is a major 
influence. Fact one - advertise less. But what conclusion from 
this? There are people who are subject to the situation. They 
see that there is nothing -> depressnyak, departure from the 
cake. Another all nachhat, they just do something. Now it seems 
the public calm. Perhaps half gone, a quarter is doing 
something, but it is silent, the other lazy (in the last year, 
a rough estimate). Always people will do something. Not 
forever, but still very long. Those who amenable Dumps, 
pessimism, go - this is an opportunity that scene was not born 
:-(. And what you need? Communicate needed. More to 
communicate. For the stage in our understanding of need 
communication, networking and communications. When in any city 
in almost any be able to keep in touch with all the other 
through the same 'Net, then tusovka become more cohesive. There 
will be new prospects development will be more rapid exchange 
of information, new opportunities. And if you come from a 
different point of view ... C business, so to speak, then the 
network is not as profitable. Crackers will drive everything to 
nothing, or almost all. That now left to break? DejaVu # 8, yes 
CHV2 when released. Everything Else already have. Conflicts 
will be scary ... Mednonogov gone: (. But because people can 
not not break CHV2. It's not even a matter of conscience. In 
fact, almost all have already decided that for them the 
Spectrum - a scene or commerce. These are 2 different poles.


[?] This is for sure - the scene and commerce - are 
incompatible. Can not earn a selfless creativity. Some 
incentives (prizes on the party, etc.) - is another matter, 
they are not going to enrich purses, and to communicate and 
further development of cyber-art. 

[?] Okay, back to our sheep =) What are you working on?
What kind of computer (s) are you home?

[!] Scorpion 256 turbo, 486 DX2 66. Not a lot? Spectrum missing
as always, but on four have already cramped ... I will upgrade.

[?] Your attitude to the Pentagon only, and all the different 
clones and upgrades speccy?


[!] Well here is a few shades. 1. Switch Pages -
hurt was when I had not plowed the demo by CBS. For all
else that did not work on the drum was so true. And these
demos already adapted. In addition to all the party entered
standard - so that was going on Scorpion. " Therefore, this 
part of the problem disappeared. 2. Fixing a clock, the delay, 
the number of rows. Here I think everything is clear. If E-Mage 
did Condommed universal then turn a blind eye to it is not 
necessary. This quality plus product. Who cares this is not the 
case - deliberately deprive themselves of ability to make 
better programs. That's it. In my opinion the clone wars is 
pointless. 

[?] What, in your opinion, the prospects for Sprinter'a, GMX'a, 
GS, HDD? Do they Spectrum? What about upgrades in the field

graphics? Do I need a new graphics format?

[!] Oh, I do not zhelezyachnik. Prospects generally judged not
'll take it. About Sprinter I have a very vague idea. Y
it has its pluses - the best sound and graphics (seems to be 
true?). In this regard, one more step between Spectrum and PC / 
Amiga, would be helpful. But if you put on the Spectrum GMX, 
GS, HDD, then, IMHO, Sprinter totally uncared for. Bells and 
whistles such as GMX, GS need, of course. Screw all the more 
necessary. A new graphical format, as you have already figured 
out my reasoning, as an intermediate stage - essential. But it 
gives GMX. Admittedly this is not untwisted, is not supported.


[?] Whether you're for the development of PC / Amiga scene? How 
do you doing, and what trends computer art'a you closer

all?

[!] Because of their modest possibilities follow course. Keep 
track of demoscene on a PC does not allow resources and Amig'i 
I do not:). Music 'gfx scene on the PC / Amiga, as far as I 
know, a single (in spite of delirium quasars in a recent 
Polesie ;-). 

[?] Is yes. Many of the Party hold these components together, 
and there were precedents of the demo / intro compo together, 
and not only on CC999 =)


[!] Of course they're fighting for. But the division, I saw 
only once - TheParty92 gfx compo has been split into PC gfx and 
Amiga gfx. More of this sort of garbage would be no suffering. 
Music for music follow simple, but far more difficult than for 
graphics. On Some Western party number of different music compo 
reaches already 5-6, and even how much I tried to listen to 
first place in the music with a different party, never my 
tastes did not coincide with the tastes Water-(perhaps only 
asm99 mp3 music compo match, suspect :))).


[?] You're a fan Purple Motion'a? =) A good musician, but with
composition on the ASM99 he clearly disappoint, although it 
took the first place.


[!] Yes, fun. Maybe because I did not hear trekernoy
music and saw little dem. Most likely so. If anyone give all
PM + tracks 50 other pieces, the Purple Motion will be for him
the best:)

[?] Well, what about all I'm not sure, but for some - maybe.
PM - a classic, although there are a number of famous 
personalities, challenges on the same stage with him. It is 
also impossible to forget. Although the right, we are not 
talking about that =) 

[!] Okay. Then tell me personally about the other celebrities in
private conversation:)
 A schedule of ... everything is always for me was simple. 
Download dozens of works in a week is not so napryazhno. And

artistic expressiveness handdrawn graphics are much more
obvious to me. A simple example: downloading with any
there TakeOver or Ambience, but not yet having on hand the 
results I just discover the laying of the workplace. And then 
found out I made a mistake or in one of his works - for 
example, it took not the fourth, and second place or I was 
wrong about a couple of works from the top5:) 

[?] That is, you have long learned how to professionally 
evaluate stuff, emulating the psychology of the majority? What 
is needed, as learn to see it better and progressive thing? 
Only if experience needed for this, or something else?


[!] Emulate the psychology of the majority ... :) Listen, I do 
not thought. Apparently so. By the way, I noticed that the 
graphics such chip runs - I can quite easily predict

winner. And with the music exactly the opposite. Apparently
because visual art is the computer I was not particularly
attracts (clips, movies do not count, mostly the offspring of
computer). But my musical tastes in the computer music -
derived from the ordinary. And in my life, I just prefer 
something on the boundary of pop and underground. That is the 
music that I Like available with difficulty and no one in our 
town (in our a small village) is not listening. In this 
particular pleasure:) When the Prodigy were so outrageously 
popular, to me they were absolutely indifferent. And in the 
96th, I fished real buzz from passage Academy purely for Music 
For The Jilted Generation ...  And here is what you need to 
learn to see? Well, first of all You have to compare. Where the 
revision of almost all the graphics, then reluctant to learn to 
distinguish the quality of performance technique. A Secondly, 
we should still see the idea. Well, how to learn this ... good 
imagination you need that you could understand at least part of 
that put the author, if he has something invested. Perhaps more 
something needs to be, I do not know. Basically it's all 
intuitive level - for people without special education. And if 
you a talented self-taught or education is not without a share 
of talent, then I think you all clearly see the entire 
structure, movement, all the colors ... I can not do that. 
Here's one of my friends artist - she is a piece of cake. She 
was going to say where the "paint too toxic, "where" heavy sky, 
"and where" just plain wrong drawn:)


[?] Need the education and experience ... Great experience ... 
Going Do you continue to link her life with art'om? What it will

expressed? Will you receive special education? Than
Would you like to do in life?

[!] At the moment, I am going, I want to try. Learn to draw
may be too late, I do not know. But the specials. formation of a
try. Since I would like to work in game industry,
artist (dreaming). But guessing the future I will not be
try their hand in everything. Anyway, I will draw, the 
experience gain - without it anywhere, you see why this happens.


[?] Did you analyze the global scene? That this
happen?

[!] Arty, you have come across questions ... to pull the whole 
article, pancake. Once again I repeat: I know too bad scene. 
Especially world. All I can tell, it's only PC / Ammy GFX

scene. Only to her, I pay enough attention. A review ... Well, 
at the the most superficial level. For example, for many a 
scene is some school / kindergarten. I was very memorable 
phrase Lazur'a in one of his interviews: "the scene as always, 
is a ... low. Because it is constantly poured

flow of people aged 14-15 who leave at age 20, when
begin to present themselves from something worthwhile. "With 
this very difficult not to agree. In my opinion, this phrase 
reflects the main tendency of any computer scene. Let the age 
range sometimes shifted, and I do not deny the existence of 
other aspects scene. But in my opinion this phrase says it all. 
And she confirmed everything that I learned / know about the 
scene. 

[?] A very strong phrase ... I have not read this interview, but
said simply brilliant. Do you think there is now
Spectrum influx of "fresh blood", or "die" and go
Last sceners?
[!] This interview took 3D Addict / Digital Nerds in aprele'99 
for GFX ZONE. There's a lot of interesting things there. 
Glyanesh yet. Is there blood flow? How do I know: (any newcomer 
to the # z80 I always immediately question them - as they have 
business in town Sintering, there is the group doing any thing 
... There are groups everywhere. All of which is doing 
something. To answer this question, we must spec-questioning to 
pursue. Apparently influx still there, but not very noticeable. 
A dying - a natural process. Very much scenery are now just 
hanging in the air - like and not gone, but not doing anything. 
A withdrawal on other platforms - this is In my opinion, not 
scary. If you sceners to the bone, if Spectrum something gave 
you, if you developed on it somehow, then you he will never 
forget. And move on / above - is Natural step in the developing 
human sceners. In Europe there was a transition C64 - PC / 
Amiga, but with the PC / Amiga - a stone's throw above, the 
game industry or elsewhere. Sit forever on the stage - it's not 
normal. We will also, but instead of C64 - ZX. Forecast slightly

risky, but in general, very likely, in my opinion.


[?] So it will - it is an inevitable process. When you
complete its mission? You still interested in speccy, or already
excitement fades away?

[!] Whoa, what mission? About this seemingly below). No, not yet
passion in my swing. I have little to reach for
Spectrum, like so much else to do everything.

[?] How long have you started drawing? How did you come to this?

[!] Treba clarified. Began to paint that? :) Well, we assume 
that I guess so. You mean again Spectrum (oh Arti,

Arti ... For the second time I catch myself thinking that you 
are slightly fixated on this platform:)


[?] Actually, the magazine we have Spectrum =) It is not 
difficult guess! About obsession - not at all, I Spectrum

interesting as well as other platforms, although perhaps
a little more ...

[!] But as we all do). Pixels I started to put a very long time.
From the very first New Year's morning, my experiments in 
ArtStudio never stopped. In the beginning it was just 
self-indulgence. Then I started to get pretty fonts. What? you 
have nowhere to have not seen? :) This is not a work of art, 
but progress was on the face. When I got my Scorpion (February 
96) I started messing with conversion charts. But, of course, 
it was just Children's pranks compared to what began in 
February 99go! I have 100 times Prof'u promised that I will 
describe it in the first interview, and besides, I'm tired to 
tell his story to everyone in personal correspondence.


                    Let's start. I went one winter to

                    Prof'u home. And he shows me - here,
[FireNerd sketch] say, what I see here has given birth (he was 
then sketch by Prof/4D our leading artist, Prof, no offense).


                    And shows me the red curve of face,

                    copied from the video The Game (Face

                    Michael Douglas). I skrivlyayus not less 
than 

                    Michael Douglas on the outline and say
"Well ... let me try to fix it at home." As a result,
born on the title screen to # Z80 # 5.
Of course then I and had no idea
copy is Douglas, so it seems
was. Top of my dreams was - to draw [FireNerd]
just a normal, more or less real "FireNerd"
man. Oh, have something to complain about, but for
first time it was cool. Remember what
I buzz word when everyone asked on irc:
who's you have there picture painted this?
 Here I am, and apparently felt that such a taste of fame ... 
This is not the only reason that made me draw. But when

I did My Kingdom and Mystery, I am well aware of what
reaction would be the end result.

[?] Interesting. Hence, for the final push you needed
only the start and feel? Then everything went like clockwork, or
Yet there were difficulties?


[!] Thus, in the beginning of the music. Work with 
ComplexCompo, CC, PDX, DC, DI: HALT has already been published, 
and the CAFe music compo was not. In my opinion better than in 
previous years, especially in compared with the FT98. That's me 
in general. Due to fragmentation party, many good musicians 
have been able to put on the 2-3-4 track (Andrew Fer, Mast, Mm
