Interview - Ryazan musician Slash.

<b>Interview</b> - Ryazan musician Slash.

First of all, though with great
belatedly, congratulate SLASH'a
birthday.


  ZF> Tell me, what is this mysterious organization "prestige",
and how it originated?
SLASH> "Prestige" was originally conceived KANO. This kind of
group on the Russian DEMO-scene, uniting the group,
wished to enter into it. But I can
say that now is going to
more serious organization to
going beyond national
scene.

  ZF> And what you're doing?
SLASH> Personally, I am now in the army
serve. And so - the music I write. And I write as a Speccy, and 
on Amige and ibm.


  ZF> What Spectrum music editors prefer?
SLASH> Last time ProTracker v2.01, because it has
the greatest opportunities. Although
now have to deal with SoundTracker Pro. And the rest -
simple outdated and do not meet modern requirements.

  ZF> Why DemoMaking, and not,
say, writing a toy?
SLASH> Here's often said - why
you're doing demos, when would
write a great toy. To
make a good game needs a team, and - a serious team that we're 
going to do and KANO. When we organize, it will be serious. 
This I declare. This will not be at the level of intrushek, 
releases, and demoshek. Ie schedule works already have plans, 
too. 

  ZF> What can you say about the situation Spectrum'a
in Moscow? About the extinction and
Other unfortunate trends?
SLASH> I would not say that
Spectrum died in Moscow at all.
But the fact that half the people
lost the desire to work on it
- Is celebrated. Do not know, maybe
be to blame for the fact that
No one engaged in export-import to normal. Tobish
good novya no one is. A
Our Game-Maker'y not too fast. And if you hurry, you
yet released a normal version of their
games people have already tired to play
These releases, which reach up to some place and everything 
starts again.


  ZF> This seems to hint at
UFO-2?
SLASH> Yes, in principle, the UFO then
same. It would be good if
Glory Mednonogov following their
work would be brought to end immediately. And, as they say, 
would be surprised world at once, so it's everywhere

worked and there were no misunderstandings.

  ZF> Right. But here and there
the other side - if the product
will soon complete the hacker-pirates, buying and breaking a
Kit, not any poimeyut
problems and Glory does not receive
honestly earned money.
SLASH> To avoid this, try to make a normal organization to all
was legal, but not at the level
kindergarten. As here you have to
St. Petersburg. I understand that you have
here your studio, people seriously
involved. And in other cities - all at the kindergarten level. 
Guys 15 and - 16 years have seen tsiferki know in mathematics, 
5 hacked - well. Even do not know - it works for them,

rabotaet.Im not all the same. They
throw it, all the cities sent. So makarom begins this confusion.

  ZF> indiscreet question: what
magazines do you like?
SLASH> your log to me more sympathetic than others.
That is, as you did - he did
in any frame does not fit,
this is the best. At least
yet, for me. Would like
that was a little more application on the disk to
it was all somehow varied to cover the life hacker circles.
SLASH> Oh, and I would like you to tell about Clive
Sinclair, inside and out. And the creator Amig'i.

  ZF> What prestige refers to the
commerce?
SLASH> Well, I do not know, I saw a little
people who would not like
prestige'vskie work. And it is those
people who are not Pentagon.

  ZF> It should be noted that most of these people.
SLASH> For me personally, Pentagon -
own machine. Prestige is in
basically, Pentagon.

  ZF> general had in mind -
working for money or for the soul?
SLASH> And this is 50/50. One is for the soul, and when the 
resort, say - write, do not sleep at night,

there to go somewhere, do something
- Just do not
want to agree. Spending is
hobby, but business is business.

  ZF> Well, the traditional question
for musicians: what kind of music
prefer?
SLASH> I'm a fan of Guns'n'Roses.
