RuSkie cakes - Interview with the artists, an encoder and a publicist: Survivor, author of the newspaper Instanity.
_ Interview with Survivor / / JumblE ................................... (C) kristoph.sc.ctl (questions) (C) Surv! V0r (FAQ) Introduction: about a year ago I was born the idea of this interview. At the time I just started to correspond with Survivor'om, and thought that it would be nice to know about it more, learn as much as me and you - the reader! The interview was done by e-mail for a few sessions, the date of editing last - May 2oo1 year. However, enough of introductions, pochitatyte better interview. [?] Hello! Glad to see you in our magazine! To begin to introduce myself. [!] Yes, hello! I do not know, of course, that the magazine you are going to publish, once trumpeted about the whole district, so that at least the dead carry them out, but I think that all your project will turn out, So try to answer the questions as a reward for what you managed to get through to these busy people like me ... :) My name is I Michael Mukhanov. On the scene in recent years known as the Surv! V0r, previously signed by the nickname Dr.C0dex. Is twenty the first year. [] You say 'Survivor', which means that in a literal translation survivor, the survivor? Is this the meaning you're laying in your nick? Generally, you chose the nickname for a long time and a meaningful way, or is it was a spontaneous decision to replace the old nickname and start a new life under a new pseudonym? [!] The meaning of this word, of course, there is. Even if it did not it was, everyone wants to get to the bottom of any fines. Do not think only that nickname - is any detail. At the expense of translation from English is that you correctly observed. As for the stories such as my alias, I have a story to tell. I even tried to tell about it in the 'interview' at ASCii'2001, but Himik too carried away by all that surrounds us if tusovkoy spektrumistov, so. mp3 site PoS-Wt with the so-called interview with me can be satisfied with some interjections Spontaneous decision on the nick name is difficult. Generally, I like the Spectrum platform with its problems features. Sorry, but that's difficult for us all to get used to that always goes better and better - someone to another machine, but someone really going nowhere. So I decided that if come a time when the Spectrum will fall into the deepest coma, all who remain will be called Scene Survivors, well, or as something in this spirit. Loudly, but all that I have decided for yourself. So, you can assume that I am one of them, and all the rest - your readers. :) Irony of me and blowing ... If more landed to look at things, the story is more prosaic. Pair years ago we came in such a situation, that active spektrumistov is no more, here and had to think about nick, that would be fully consistent with the oppression of the time. Already then it turned all the way - the scene alive. [?] Why the optimism? ; D [?] Well, by the time your nickname fit, but that going on in your life today? Do not feel sorry about this choice of nickname? [!] And do not you think that Nick is a man, not vice versa? Pity it would be silly, that is, better to regret the fact that did than about what did not. Hackneyed phrase, but once Such a life, you have to choose between two evils the least. If You are interested in a problem such as renaming commands, change own image, then it is quite normal. Sometimes, people attributed to this fact any change, the advent of the stage in their life, or once again - do not connect. You probably also something happened when you changed the last letter in his handle on the 'ph'? If there my best cool relation to the stage, so it's all nonsense. In the mist uteryanoy feasibility looming vague ghosts of the past, and we find justification for some human oddities. The whole scene is one big oddity. [?] Well surv! Well just killed on the spot! ; D [?] Probably one of the most interesting questions - how did you get on Spectrum? Was it your first computer? [!] Let another question - do you really think that here everyone is original? I think not. But the peculiarity of my 'Hit' on the Spectrum is that I first met with Atari somewhere in the early 90's in some kind of arcades of the city. Meaningful understanding has to Spectrum came later, sometime in the 1992-93 year when I was with her a good friend is something invented by his Dubna-48 in BASIC. As I remember, his brother is well programmed to MSX ' Yamaha, who stood in our city VUZ'e, and received some diplomas in competitions. That went out and desire something start doing, not necessarily for the sake of the Spectrum, but at least something for the sake of experience. Ie if I had not started Spectrum, now would be not talking to you. As you can see, there was everything else ... Somewhere in the summer of 1993 the three of us came together to make the game 'Winnie Pooh '. Yes, yes! Somewhere even save saver for this game painted in Artstudio ... Roots in the current Spectrum I started up in 1994, when pulled himself Scorpion ZS 256. Currently, in their work using hybrid Pentagon'a and Profi 512, Pentium 166. [] I've heard from you quite explicit assaults on PC'shnikov-emulyatorschikov, and the ... ;) [!] My attacks were directed only toward those who do Spectrum played for a living, and having gone to the valley of stumps, abandoned Spectrum, promising to work not less fruitful, even in the emulsion. That's it. And those who do not know how - let none remain, and nothing. See myself, simply run over to another platform deal inappropriate. Say, 'There must be at the pc scene? There are, as well as same. But the association with the departure from the Spectrum to the PC platform For some reason, most associated with geymerstvom ... Realschik with dead ideas for Spectrum worse than emulyatorschik with same delusional fantasies. This phrase, of course, be understood. The question is not whether that 'someone is using a PC or Amiga'. All salt and how this hard yuzaetsya for Spectrum. Seems to Izhnews 11 Himik ZxZ made a pretty strong statements in emulyatorschikov against detractors. Tough, but true! I know Himik'a. He works on the emulator from the fact that he does not live Spectrum ... And most importantly - write programs. Never mind that living cake he has not. The trouble with another - that someone who does, but not used. But all this is sufficiently abstract reasoning, limiting compression of probabilities. [?] With you it is hard not to agree. But where, nevertheless, began Your work on the Spectrum? [!] First, the activity was just for yourself. Um, yes she now remains only as very rare in our environment hobby. And I started with a banal - hacking programs. In the city we sold to secure the program on diskette. As you know, it was terrible desire poherit traders and start copying software. What happened, though, for this I had to deal with zero not only with assembly language, which I had not known, but also with disk controller. I can say that protection to all disks in We then posed the program LFA'93, can you even heard of such, ie imagine what this beast of his time. So Now, I disassemble it and wrote antiprotektor. True, When I did this, I have already appeared antiprotektory, written by Code Busters and other leaders. But knowledge is still useful, and I am very pleased. Trade, though I have not started because I was not going to HEREUNDER:) [?] How did you start drawing? Do you have ability in the real painting? [!] In fact, to draw on the computer, you need to have special skills. Certainly, on paper, I am also a little paint. How did it happened that began to draw on the computer - hard to say. Everyone always tries his hand at various directions. Recently on the scene there were many talented people with the universal abilities. Here, take at least MM month at scenergy. [?] Why do people go to the Spectrum, where, go to the peak of its creative activity? [!] All the 'people' with the Spectrum already gone. Only the fans your business! And they go on that either disappointed in the fact it gave them nothing in the material sense, or from lack of fresh information or loss of faith in our strength. Many even would like to stay at the Spectrum, but their iron each one day break and it turns out that in the nearest district nobody hard'om for the Spectrum is not engaged! This is only a small fraction of all possible causes. One of the reasons - age, other family, and the third - tired, the fourth - to get computers; important reason - health. How many have the scenery good eyesight and good posture? [?] What do you think their main profession? [!] It is difficult to single out one thing. As such, one profile at I do not. I believe that good news is that good;) to do everything immediately, but gradually, ie, I try to try out different directions of the scene. Three years was engaged only cracking'om protection and all the rest, then started a little code, doing System utilities that somewhere around 10 units left. Since the summer of 1999 engaged in, again for myself, mass media, ie in my stay in LFG organized group release Insanity. Recently began to put the pixels ... [] I understand that you and the coder, and an artist, and the articles you write, but Yet what is important to you and what you yourself consider yourself a pro? [!] Of itself will not be judged ... I will say this - feature novelist. But the effect of uncertainty is always present. Today I can appreciate the way tomorrow just do not know. [?] Who do you think is the best in their field? [!] If we take into account the nature of my prose, then from Authors I like the most Werewolve with its awful relevant marasmus and ripami; pretty well written Demiurge Ash. A recent surprise for me was the talent of Jason Krugger'a and Sinn'a of Delirium Tremens from their melancholy and boiled crawfish! Two of these dudes, they argue NEstsenovyh, just twists and sickened by the philosophical lines. All going offer them unreleased a joint project of something like uncontrolled delirium based on Foucault, Sartre, Fromm, Freud and another couple traveled figures from the literature. From the past authors respect Yuri Matveyev and generally the whole team Step. From Artists, on the stage ... once again want to express my admiration Pheel'om! It is a pity that he exhibited once a year, but it certainly deserves to be noticed separately outside the party environment. Who else can be noted - has traditionally Teeray, Gas 1913, Diver, Paracels, ZSV. By the way, I want to specifically mention in this series Prof'a of 4D. I think that a bright light and greatness sogruppnika Diver'a obscure such capable artist. Pay attention to him! [!] What do you think of conversion (curves) and the artists who doing this? [?] This is quite normal. Only an injustice, perhaps, only that occurs at the party permanent mixture of these two categories. How much you can bang your head on the same wall - after all the seats are not enough?! Even you, I tried convince alter the rules of your NUO a copy and nocopy in chart. But this has not happened, and why? Further, in my opinion shift schedules with other platforms is the purest water computer cloning. I do not know, someone used to me this term, but I think it is. Someone says it is 'porting' and argue that it cloning. Perhaps a bit presumptuous. But I like so. What could be wrong with that, the Spectrum as a platform zaemulirovali on PC? So I do not see anything wrong with that emulate schedule another scene in our small zx scene. Just please specify in the rules of another party graphic separation of categories, and then the music has long divided, and schedule - no. [?] Pro division at nuo'tm to copy / no copy you should have not talk to me, and justinas'u - he's the official organizer, I also became the "organizer of captivity"; D. And the music, then divided by categories did not ahead of schedule: all the same millenium'00! [?] Light Future Group - who organized a group? Why do you entered into it? [!] I thought you'd ask me now - who ruined the group? :) Question, I think, a bit outdated. Group no longer exists on both objective and subjective reasons, this information was already in his time extended to Scenergy.org. Named as such an organizer in the group was not, and was merely formal, informal think-tank - Dr. Dismal. As far as I know, the group organized the Black Lord, may be readers know about it. He no longer engaged in a Spectrum and played in clubs, wrote music for them. After his work on Spectrum remains a lot of music that was not zarelizhena. I do not know what will make her Dismal, but like, he going to make a music album Black Lord'a. And in the very Group I was somewhere in 1997. Infoshku once saw, where I learned that in the nearby town of Perm "must be an active spektrumisty. I tried to write - responded. That's gradually struck up a never-ending friendship to this day. I joined in group, because talent should be united, that's all. Only later came another insight - it is an intermediate group stage for the sole livelihood, although it is only my point view. After the band broke up, we sometimes exchange information, which is also nice. [?] Unconventional point of view. If not difficult, justify. Generally, why people are leaving the group, even when H all goes well and rosy? Leave, even when there is no apparent reason? [!] It seems to me, because the 'hidden' cloudless in the relationship between group members is misleading. Naturally, if the first act on the wall hangs a gun is always in the second, it must shoot mortar fire. In short, a cloud in trousers. Fall apart as Typically the group, which originally have been created on the basis of groups. So to speak, a kind of mikrominiimperii. And the more in this 'team' will be a group, the faster it crumble in the dust. Need to understand the psychological aspect. Each group collectively constitute a single mechanism already tend to have good contacts, links, your handwriting and sees the meaning of their union only chance to become famous in early in the total mass sebepodobnyh, ie for an indefinite short or long term, using the union as a springboard for further development. Time passes and there are questions type 'and should we be kuchkovatsya?'. All of this and maintain if not self-destruction, then to a standstill - stasis. But this is just my theory. I do not claim that everything was exactly that way and LFG. This particular case does not claim to absolute bezdokazatelstvennuyu truth. Reason for leaving there is always a see them not so sure, at least to outsiders. I also suspect that the Born Dead Crew sold at the seams just motivated by internal disagreements in the team. About it indirectly says slowdown former editor of the newspapers, and ZS-critical article in a sort of fifty rooms ZXNews. [?] Ok, let's move away from philosophy and psychology to direct your activities. Insanity, perhaps, the chief Project LFG? [!] Intriguing questions. I will respond as a former co-member LFG. The main project of our team, perhaps, the publication newspaper is difficult to call, but the forces of other projects robbed no doubt. I think that this was just one stage of our feverish activity. Nice, of course, was to see such publication as Born Dead, but wanted something of his, Mad, You can tell. Ideas for the long term, I think was not. Eventually, all sucked. If you are interested in details, turn to Dr.Dismal 'y. But in general, as I imagine represented then, Insanity should be a catalyst for workers in their endeavors. Happened is not what was intended, but thanks anyway, that you're interested. [?] Why did you decide to publish the newspapers, rather than, for example, to make demos or games? [!] The newspaper is not an end in itself. If a newspaper can do alone, Does it make sense to hold for this group? Perhaps, for me it very interesting, as it captures the process of publication, in Unlike some. No need to LFG former associate only only with the newspaper Insanity, as were a lot of other products. Perhaps the most striking releases except Insanity, it's Melange, Koshcheeva Chain, Gift. There were more demos of toys, but I can not speak here for the whole group, because they do not have such authority. Only allow myself a little touch - the newspaper has gone too far away, so I had to go to mutual sacrifice. I surprising that the court may, but you still are interested in LFG, while While the band went into oblivion on September 12. [?] Indeed, this may seem funny Most of our readers who do not even know that this question was asked daaaaleko not in May; D. [?] As an outsider, I can say that LFG associates with Insanity, but not with the Gift and Melange'em. Simple, perhaps, Insty your most vivid product, and I think now you will be very difficult to get out of the way Publishers? [!] Hmm, we do not need to leave that image. LFG went into history is as a publisher of Insanity. Obtained as follows. I does not speak against it. [?] How do you think about yourself Insanity? Are you satisfied with the newspaper? [!] Frankly. The results have not pleased because own laziness. In the newspaper there is no particular ideology, except that in my stay of LFG, I naively thought that the publication of even frail, but Working demo should help revitalize author of the program and how to compensate for the lack of an organizer group. But life has shown that I proved I was wrong. Applications not only did not unpack - themselves not read newspapers. Periodization of creativity - not a solution either. Absolute bedlam ... In Recently, I speak only for the 'real' demos, ie those that will eventually be brought to full releases, and every excuse me, the trash had already pulled out all ... That As for the experience of the newspaper in two cities, it is briefly expressed as - Permian of the bent his line, I own. In the end, all turned down. [?] In what respect "bent his line? [!] Well, I also explained that we are different people. This is clear even from the style odd and even numbers. Moreover, they are in different locations under one label to work the same way just not possible! View again my theory of the collapse of groups. [?] Who are its competitors Insanity? [!] Horrible question. In fact, I approach the issues competition is somewhat different. In order not to offend anyone, I will try put it quite mildly - in Spectrum magazines do not need see the competition for each other, because their readers are always find whatever coolness of the shell. Need try to see in a potential enemy of his partner, so would be better for everyone, including the publication. A scene should we appears as a dump, heap-low, where even a green wet behind the ears tries to show his long tongue, which made developing paduchest 'stars' and very strong tetanus. Here I say no specific allusions to the individual. Sometimes it is useful to strip the Hairy situation above the knee. [?] Heh, I really thought it was you hinting at me? :) [!]:) 'Shit' shit. But the experience of the day shows that there is even a demo of crap:)) In fact, no hints in your direction I did not order. I very much liked and like such as electronic projects: Spectrofon, Adventurer, z80, KrNews, Born Dead, Scenergy. Of the alternative - Psychoz, HeresY. [] Do you make excellent article, and not just computer lines. Your profession - journalism? [!] Thank you, that I valued in this way. Oh, not for whether the phrase started the interview. :) Well, try to formulate a response. Some heights I had not yet reached, ie relax until early. I am attracted to journalism as a literary genre creativity, even though their stuff, I do not think so. So, warm up for the mind, but really. Of course, as without it. With regard to my civilian profession, I am not a journalist, albeit a rather intimate sphere of activity. I study at the Faculty. [?] Have you tried their hand at real newspapers? [!] No, I honestly have not tried it. While I do not. What is time? [?] If you have something to say - it's time. The language you already possess, left to look for themes. For example, Paracels in 16 years wrote articles in local newspapers, and not always on computer theme, so why do not you try your hand at this matter? [!] Frankly, I thought about it many times before. Paracels wrote articles in newspapers, because he for admission to the Faculty Journalism needed publication. There without them do not accept. :) Yet I have. Thank you for hope. [?] Day today. Survivor - spektrumist. Behind - megabytes of code and graphics, terabytes of articles, dozens of completed projects. What do you think is his best creation? Of course, all the best is yet to come, but specifically at the moment? [!] It may seem trite, but the creamy thrill I experienced from breaking all the ZX Format'ov! I remember, the last number I remade into free copy somewhere something in 20 minutes. But the glory such case in fact sinful. To date, all where I put my knowledge, I like most Insanity. [?] What are working on now? [!] Plans are, but the time for their implementation is lacking. Thus, in mostly a breeze. I want to completely solve their disc utilities continue to draw graphics, is also involved in conversion charts for one game. Call for something specific yet I will not, so as not to jinx it. We shall see. [?] To clarify the situation with Insanity, why have you decided to continue publication of the newspaper even after the collapse of LFG? [!] At one point I really wanted to close the newspaper, but 2000th year was all so depressnyakovym that survive death of another leader after the death of Bonr Dead would just unreal! As it turned out, after the Insanity 7 and 8 of the people start up the mood that I am very pleased. By the way say, after Insanity8 has come quite a lot of letters, and not only electronic. [?] Have you exhibited at the party? (Stupid question. Of course yes) [!] And how! Really, that is, less seriously began to practice their involvement with this, 2000, the year, and more specifically with Millennium 1900, where he took 6 th place. Participated more in Phat0, but the results so far no one has ever seen. Of the recent developments - the third place in the tech compo on Final Shoque'2k. [?] What is your aim in itself, participates in the party? In general, it gives a man if he would participate in the All party? [!] Main purpose - to support worthy event. Vested interests I otvozhu the last plan. If need be - will be noticed and appreciate a post party. A person does not necessarily participate in all party. It only takes one time and become well-known 4ever! But we can squash with a long time, get out of all the forces, but not get nothing. Look at the Spectrum because such a scene there are precedents. I will not name them, so as not to offend. [?] What do you think demoparty role in the life of the Spectrum? [!] O! On this much has been said by all. My position is - demoparty necessary because simply they do not even demopatyami are a few more than just view the demos. C On the one hand, qualitative demopati enhance the scene. In this against all argue for the image E'96 and FT'98. Yes, I agree. But abundance of party band is not much, I must say, contribute to success and all because of the fact that people have thrown at di: halt'99. But! When Moreover, even if obili works, a large number of 'supporters' her, at the local level and lifestyle, rather than centralized holiday once a year. Party must comply with a bracket, the declared organized under the personal responsibility of each of them. Say, what the hell to announce that the party will be for the whole year, if at the last moment somewhere on irc before the party modestly note that the venue moved to the village of conditional Mindyukino or, in general, worse yet, to show the level organayzinga like - have all come to look at the sump and throw the entire process on the shoulders came to talk to each other people. This is not an option, ie not the way to achieve the goal! It is necessary to give granted by these events, it's not whether their is not known - would have lived another Spectrum platform in general. After all, positive aspects demoparty are much more than a flame networks on their unsuccessful meeting. [?] Which parties are better suited Spectrum - virtual or real? [!] The problem raised by you in some depth. Real party presence have found their niche in the computer life. It is these party should be a maximum of 1-2 times per year since level of the scenery and prezentativnosti they strongly impact on the psyche of the organizers, the level of work. Strong the team is still not able to put enough finished products by 2-3 times a year. Virtual party needed more often. They greatly enhance the scene, because when you vote, just viewing the work, then you do not float the situation on the street, you do not care bed and all that. Look - a lot of pluses! You can more qualitative assessment of works in competition. And in the real party might not even show your work, over which you suffered the last few months, I am not talking about the demos who refuse to work and do anything about it not ... But this has its charms, especially in a real party life, not virtual. Again, when the abundance of the virtual party, their owners, but otherwise they did, I can not name, to each other can really quarrel. [?] And is not gonna do you hold your party, at least virtual? [!] No, I'm not going, but plans for some ranks. Although, if I offered to be part of any credible team - need help! That was on ASCii'2001 I still Speak to Insanity, but I would have cautioned against a hasty opinion I was one of the organizers of this party. The organizer was I do not! [?] Which party do you think is better? (Both real and of virtual) [!] Of the best real party for me was and remains Funtop'98 and is not only due to the fact that I was there. It was after this activities carried out quite successfully, there was so much to all positive emotions, the charge of strength and energy that is simply indescribable. And what about the affair with Refresh. Cleverly done Exploder, not giving the people his party version demomeykinga miracle. Can only guess what changed in the Refresh Alex Veresov for that she looked even more mysteriously, so once again to raise interest in his persona. Funtop'98 was specially organized for Spektrumistov than and famous. Of the virtual me most attractive way of Millenium. All of his originality that was explicitly stated by the distribution of work on the copy / nocopy nominations. We still have not quite developed in the direction of the virtual party, no online'ovogo vote online, but only that that in one year 2000, passed two virtual party (Millenium and Final Shoque) is perceived as a positive trend. [?] With respect to whether you yourself to sceners? In general, what in your understanding "sceners? [!] The concept of 'sceners' was in the same household as the' new Russian '. Although I'm not sure what to draw parallels exactly in this way. Of course, there sceners. After all, the question is, what one means by that word. For me to be a scenery did not mean to be 'cool', 'elite', 'buoyant'. Why is vanity? The concept of the scene implies a certain area activities. For example, the person said that he loves to ride Skiing is the scenery on a platform of cross-country skiers. Funny but within the framework of concepts it is. Exactly the same approach here. All people, related to non-traditional, alternative computer activities, and should recognize that demomaking, e-zineing, cracking, partymeeting, etc. refers to a rather non-traditional computer orientation is precisely scene. If you are sufficiently capable in any of these areas, then you are the sceners! Spektrumisty already accustomed to not consider themselves nick in the bawdy sense of the word. And it is not necessary. Falling in love with a sceners and you will become much clearer. [?] Ie to be the scenery, you need to know how something make, create, and not just to understand the scene? [!] First you need to know how to do it, not just wag language. With the ability to come and have relevant knowledge. Even if Diver in an interview in Scenergy said that he is a bit far from all these stsenovyh concepts, it remains for all stsenovym artist. Most in the scene must understand organizer group, if such exist at all. Often, it turns out that neither Organizer does not have stsenovyh concepts, nor anyone else from groups, and meanwhile she considers herself stsenovoy. This fact, of course, is entitled to their existence, but the perception is too ambiguous. [?] And how do you feel about demomeykingu? What works, what authors would like to highlight? [!] To paraphrase a famous saying of Lenin, I can say follows - the most important of art for us is the cinema, ie demomeyking. By the way, the test Chasm'a in Subliminal Extacy # 3 I scored 1000 points:)) It is for demomeykinga by and large account are held all demoparty. Demomeyking himself in my opinion reflects professioanlnuyu fitness groups stsenovoy life. This is an indicator of achievements platform, because there are reflected all the unimaginable algorithms, which make say that the Spectrum is not too small. Best of the fact that done, is located in a chaotic manner: Lyra II, Shock, Satisfaction, Insult, Brain Crash, Assorty, 7th Reality, Power Up, Condomed, Tryptomine Dream, Napalm, Jam, Refresh, Binary Love, Voodoo trackmo, Dogma, Insane, Rizc, Trashe, Influence, Illusion, Blame, FA, 5th Element, Energy, Virtual, Melange, LSD megademo, GOA 4k and much more ... :) [] Do you think there is a general development plan demomeykinga? [!] Something concrete is difficult to say. Basically we have to work on the plot. [] Do not trampled scene in one place? At least, all work with the latest party - not very much and original. Anything new and fresh for me personally appeared. [!] How do you say. Plot, they may not be quite fresh, but with in terms of code - it's just licked sports cars. Find fault with little to what is possible. I'm having a hard analogy Meanwhile, a jeweler who is engaged in cut and Serzhsoft'om, which pushes all the intro with CC'999 into one unit. If one could imagine myself - what DeMouy they want to see problems would be less. No experiments - some just chunks, zabadavshie not a competitor. [?] What do you think about the future of the Spectrum? Does he have a ... us, Perspective? What decisions have you seen for the salvation of the platform? [!] Everyone should decide for themselves once and for all the question - you need Does he need a scene or a scene for him? First and foremost, to stage was necessary for the person himself! To achieve something, enough of this and want to make a step forward and then the Spectrum will live as long as you yourself so wishes. [?] Well, on this optimistic note, perhaps, and finish. Rad was to talk with you! [!] Thanks for the interesting questions. Was glad to answer. I hope that we, the readers of your journal including can meet at any of the party and talk about everything more detail. Until next time!
