RuSkie cakes - an interview with a famous musician stsenovym Siril/4D.

_ Interview with Siril / / Fourth Dimension 
............................ 


(C) Justinas.SC.CTL (questions)
(C) Siril.4D (FAQ)

Introduction of kristoph'a: the idea to interview Siril'a 
appeared at I long ago - he was one of my favorite musicians

on the Spectrum, and hence the interest to learn more about it 
in my was just huge. One day, I ventured to write to him at

soap with a proposal for an interview ... I am a little 
surprised by the reaction: "Interview?" Hmm ... What would be 
cool, I've never interviewed. "As you can see, Siril - a simple 
man. Not sceners purse-proud, and a regular guy.


But soon after this conversation, when I started making
the first questions in my head came a stunning =) the idea -
ask questions to make an interview with my friend and our
musician - Justinas.SMG.CTL, good, I live in one stop
from him, and we see each other quite often. At the first 
meeting with I told him about his plan and received an 
affirmative answer. Interviews to be!


Questions written Justinas'om pretty quickly once were
forwarded directly Siril'u. After nearly a month
came the reply from him, which you can observe a little
below. Well, meet - Siril.4D!

[?] Greetings to you, one of the most advanced muzakerov our 
scene! Probably this is the first interview for you, so that 
you may not confused;), start with pop music, well, that is, 
Introduce yourself: name, surname, nick, group, city, country 
... 

[!] Hmm, somehow I always thought that a normal person
spit from a high tower on the realname and other crap like
city ​​/ country. In my opinion, result in the data makes sense 
if only relatives to look for:) But I can say -

trained to respond to the name "Ilya Vinogradov, and want to 
know my name can write me;) Regarding

nick / group / city / country - siril/4d/perm/ru;) Age - 19 
years. 

[?] Come on then pop the question:) Well, let's go on. On
stage you mostly all know how music maker'a, therefore,
perhaps it will start with this one. Tell me, since when did 
you start great interest is music? Have you finished or what

music venues? Are you engaged in music, before a
You came Speccy?

[!] Prior to Spectrum I was not music, and guitar.
Independently. Two months. Then this leaky wooden box
with the strained wires, I got:) So I stayed on the
the level of "three chords." In any musical institutions are not
studied, though, I remember, at seven years was an attempt to 
shove me there. We came with his parents to the building of the 
music school, look - and the door closed. Turned around and 
went away) I found out later that the input from the other side 
was:) It's a pity of course - music theory thing interesting 
and would be very useful to the Speccy and all. And then, I 
only just heard from various clever books, possibly I would 
know much sooner. 

[?] What kind of music you interested when you're just 
beginning his musical activities?


[!] So ... I remember the summer of 1997, listened to albums of 
Enigma "Cross of change "+" MCMXC ", which gained due to song" 
Return to Innosence "and the album Scooter'a" Wicked! "(There 
pinned Break it up, Awakening, I'm raving and other tracks). 
Still, it seems, "Load" Metallic'i Druganov have copied. It's 
all the time. But then I somehow especially music is not fond 
of, just listened to what that played on the radio (MaximuM), 
well there is still the ratio of our / western music was about 
20% and 80% respectively, so that the domestic pop music did 
not reach (to get started Western;). Cassettes almost did not 
buy, trends / styles are not interested, though (may not be 
very aware of) has begun notice that quality music can greatly 
affect the I was on my mood.


[?] And at what time you have appeared Spectrum? What was the
model? And what Speccy you happy:) now?

[!] My first spectrum'om in 1991 became the Quorum-64 -
Progressive Russified machine with a very extended
keyboard (from UKNC, it seems). Basically I played on it
(Race / WecLeMans, arcade / Saboteur, martial arts / The Way Of 
the Exploading Fist, rpg / Super Robin Hood), barely sketched in

ArtStudio, tormented Basic, and after the book appeared, "How
Leave the game on the ZX Spectrum "1 / 2 of the publishing 
house, Peter was trying to something to program in GENS'e.


Yes, I looked a couple of times in the notorious "Wham the 
music box". The most hit Mouzon was certainly "Careless 
Whisper". What was my surprise when I heard him "live"! Of 
course, I dragged more. But to suffer Wham - I realized that

playing music is not for me. On this my research with beep'erom
completed.

And mayalsya foolishness until the autumn of 1996 until my comp 
is not burned (Not without the help of my playful pens). From 
green anguish me saved by the fact that classmate (KiM'u) 
father gathered PROFI 512 BetaDisc. Feeling that Spectrum48 + 
Tape and Spectrum512 + BetaDisc + AY are two big differences, I 
wanted to zaimet something like that. In the book "How to write 
a play," which became a available ZX-Revue, turned up ads 
Scorpion 256 Turbo +, and podnakopit bucks, 25 March 1997 and 
we bought this unit for mail, and a month later he was standing 
on my desk. Configuration at that time was very cool: Scorpion 
ZS 256 kb, Turbo, ProfPZU 512kb, SMUC, HDD 40MB, PC-Keyboard 
'Kempstone-Mouse Controller + all in a package MiniTower. We 
have laid out for this machine just as much at the time cost 
Sony Playstation;)


All this would finally can unearthly buzz if Scorp at once (at
inclusion) is not zaglyuchil ... Imagine this situation: coming
long-awaited parcel, I connect, grabbed, and most
IBM-the keyboard is not ... Well, I ran to Druganov (k KiM'u) - 
he be unnecessary. Cut in the whole thing, and watch cute

a mattress! ; (Zhut!!

True, it was found that after a brief heating Scorp
becomes fully operational. And so until now;) include
waiting for work;) A parcel with my legitimate PC-Claudia came 
through month ... ;)


[?] Well, that's an interesting story ... Although service 
firms Scorpion always stood out as far as I can remember. So 
well, and when you're around began to study music-making is on 
AY? From what you started, what work you put yourself up as an 
example? 

[!] The first attempts to do something taken for Profi'ke y
KiM'a in digital'nom Editor, Sampler, good to drive the
editor were also examples of Mouzon. Generally, it was the first
tracker, which I saw. Nothing standing there I did not
happened, but at least figured out what these trackers are 
needed in general.


The experiments were continued at home in the summer of 1997
year, already on my Scorp'e: the screw was such a thing as
ASM 1.02 (I think). This version works with TrDos'nymi disks, 
and annexed thereto 3 Mouzon. Well, as usual, I began to torment

pervert. Trying to gain something of their own, but it was
serious, I just pinned the ability to extract completely
nice sounds from my computer, I do not understand nor
tools themselves, nor with the teams - all with anything except
octaves and notes;) As a result, ASM, I kept only 1-2 outline. 
But own musical theme intrigued me and I procured

filthy lucre, bought CDs with music
demonstrations "(as they were called in our local directories
firm) and a CD with ProTracker'om 1.01. Demos me pinned, not
believe this, but for the first time I saw the DEMO in the 
summer of 1997 year! And this Enlight'a after 96!


By ProTracker'u 1.1 Included 50-60 Mouzon! Basically
xPEH'a, IMP'a and I can not remember whose. Since the material 
was more understanding of the mechanisms of the editor has gone 
faster. Figured with the envelope, with a mask for it, etc. But 
before the full Mouzon so also did not happen. Besides PT1.1 
shamelessly on my buggy "Progressive" clave. Work there was at 
least difficult. There I stayed until the spring of 1998. 
Although "Spent" it's too hard to say, so as looked at him

I do not often - while AY-music I do not strongly
impressive, very popular with only a few Mouzon: "19
Moments of Spring "by KSA, music from" Star Heritage "by
Matthias Igoval'a and music from the main menu 22 and 23rd
Spectrofon'ov. The really blew my cover of the music
Ironman'a. I first heard it in a magazine Miracle # 1, thence,
I think, and learn about its collections "Rave-Time Extasy" and 
"Formik Acid ", having caught that dragged twice.


Soooo, then tried to change seats on SoundTracker Pro by KSA, 
but after ProTracker'a editor seemed very uncomfortable, 
although this is where I wrote my first normal Mouzon - 
"classic" (Its slightly modified version was published in my 
first album).


By this time, KiM, Pentium and got some time
was lost for the Spectrum as an active developer. But I
gained access to the FIDO ...

Then, after Ice'Di Griz'a I went out to our Permian
spektrumistov: CyberJack'a and his brother BlackGroove'a of 
LFG, and and later in their organizer Dr.Dismal 'and (except 
KiM'a I did from Permian spektrumistov until not know). They 
make me and supplied ProTracker'om 2.1 and 3.31, and shared 
BlackGroove manufacturing techniques echo effect (three notes). 
After This was written in PT2.1 Mouzon "there is a little bomb 
on your head ". And when the restore disk from novem, moved to 
ProTracker v 3.33, which in comparison with its ancestor PT1.1 
was just riding comfort and has much more possibilities. The PT

3.33 I really enjoyed it:) Maybe because of this I have
began to receive something akin to music: "we've only
started "," entropy "," i can fly ".

My next musical was the shock of the fall of 1998
Visual'ovsky track "Sumea-theme" of Refresh'a. I do not dig it
could not resist and wrote Mouzon "3a 3HaKomCTBo", which is to
everything else was made in honor of my 3HaKoMCTBa with
Diver'om and the Fourth Dimension.

[?] For the first time come down to us is your first music only 
in those times, when the first issue of Demo or Die. There you 
will still be referred to as Sir Ilias. And then, as I 
understand, you've decided a little nick cut? Or is there some 
other reason? 

[!] In my opinion, in Demo or Die was the second release of my 
account Mouzon (first - in Siril's Album). A Siril - it's just

Nick reduce to one word, which I liked. Although
there's version: the type I'm a fan of Canadian cartoon "The 
Raccoons" there, I remember there was such a cute big-nosed 
villain - Cyril Snirr;) nose in my order and I do not like the 
villain, so the version considers untenable;)


[?] Well, well, back to the subject of your first book,
that you began to circulate along with player'om written
you. This was your first job kodingovaya? What encouraged to
her writing?

[!] Yes, SPlayer was my first finished work on asm'e.
He was made of the fact that at that time was not
player'ov play modules from PT 3.4 and supports all
four frequency table (BestView with this chip appeared
later). Also, before I saw the albums Ironman'a and
each had its own player.

[?] Tell the truth, Mouzon there were quite personal, but
This, of course, can not be compared with your last collection 
of Never Noised. Generally, your music can always be 
distinguished from other works even with the naked ear =), they 
tend to some unique style. I wonder where are these ideas?


[!] Woow, tnx! Although it seemed to me that my muse is enough
unremarkable. About ideas - initially, almost all of my track'i
appeared in the light of the fact that I invented or learned
(Peeping from other musicians;), any technical
reception or unusual sample / sound, and I wanted him obkatat.
Then, as the experience I would sometimes work on
level of development themes, which invented in advance. But the 
more I just sitting in the PT and fingered notes, sifting out 
wrong;) Count up to the key concepts I had to guess

himself, and then very surprised when reading about this stuff 
in a children's book;) Then gradually I came to that

I like it better "narrative" music that is creating
mood may be as pleasant and not so. It also became
it is clear that little predictable plots much more interesting.
Therefore, almost can not listen to pop music - After a few 
seconds becomes clear, it will all end. By the way, the 
realization ProTracker'e that you can do _absolyutno_ all

like it very recently. The most important thing that the 
resulting like (d) ears:) It's like demomaking'e: whatever you 
do - participate in the evaluation of only the ears and eyes.


[?] I do notice that you're very fond of subverted with 
glissando, Yes, and drummer are funny. Come up with a long 
barrel-organ? 

[!] Not that I deliberately misrepresent a gliss, I just
like what if this turns out. But with the strikers crap
complete. Hard they give me, you bastards;)

[?] Heh, yeah, they (strikers), you are always fun
obtained. By the way, what style of music you prefer
listen? What are you listening directly in your spare time?

[!] I listen to? - Diver, a scoundrel, put me on the GOA / 
psychedelic trance - Astral Projection, Mystica, Cosmosis, 
Beast. From our GOA Transdriver'ovsky like "Flight of the depth 
of feelings and something else with a collection of Neon: 
DJ-parade. " Nails and gruzanuty trip-hop (bristol-sound like a 
klichut) - Tricky, Portishead. Then he heard / listened CRYSTAL 
method, chemical brothers "Surrenda", orbital, aphex tween. 
From ethnica-trip - Deep Forest, to a lesser extent Enigma. 
Pleases Ivan Kupala - important to progress in pop music are 
not pushed. Although domestic "shovu-bizzznese" it's all highly 
unlikely. 

Especially cap flew from Future Sounds Of London - albums "Dead
Cities "and" ISDN "- very soulful and beautiful experimental
psychedelic. By the way, at first listen to FSOL generally 
could not, then have understood that music is very beautiful 
and all, but listen could not - depresnyak rub;) within four 
days of listening "Dead Cities" before bedtime, yet not used to 
such sounds;) Now I can easily get untold pleasure

plays. About a similar story was with GOA, but there
organism to adapt faster.

Recently started to hear Acid Jazz: StereoLab "Dots and loops"
- Pinned, while hoping that the music actually
heavier (more psychedelic).

From the fact that listening to recently - like the album 
"Music of full Moon "(1990), St. Petersburg ambient-project" 
Parks "(Parks). 

[?] Here I personally really like your track named
LiuGoMa, which you have exhibited at the Di: Halt'99. There's a 
fair amount of jazz motif. Jazz, in general, this thing is not 
it? 

[!] Jazz is the thing;) is very wide / deep style, virtually
the whole of modern progressive music can be found in the roots
electronic jazz, not to mention the fact that nearly Acid Jazz
comes close to breakbeat, drum'n'bass, trip-Hop, places to
psychedelic trance. Even if now, for example, to listen
"Arsenal-6" by Alexei Kozlov (the fact that they played in 
1986-1989) is in fact a considerable buzz words. 

[?] In general, I advise you to listen to remix from Jori 
Mikkonen (this like Fin) track'a B-Boys' Fy Girls from Bomfunk 
Mc's in style Deep'n'Smooth. :) Of course Bomfunk'i this is 
pop, but the remix This mana is even nothing.


[!] Look:) And yet - I believe in the word. And what kind of 
style such "deep'n'smooth"? ;)

[?] Well, there generally few easy directions mixed up. Where 
sounds funk, where trance, where even then ... Therefore the 
author seems so label it and came up with. :) Well, what do you 
say at the moment of musicians on the Speccy Scene (and the 
West, and Russia)? Who do you I could identify as one of the 
best music maker'ov? Maybe at the same time, and say their 
music that you like? Especially, that for the last time and 
party was sufficient, and, consequently, and there are many new 
tracks. 

[!] In random (hi randy!;) Order: mast / ftl "activity", "happy
intro song "," mission impossible "," crandberries "," rainbow
dreams "; andyfer / imx" mad fantasies "," for majame "; 
ironman" my birthday ", and others; dee-jooz" spring "and 
others; fatal snipe "X-files rmx"; mmcm "seeing", "mirage", 
"suggestive"; davos; sairoos intro / demo songs; yerzmyey, 
factor6, tdm, baZe - tracks from insane / higherstate; visual 
"Goa sation II", "Sourse of energy "," the way to the heaven 
gates "; nick-o" happy day is a day with my speccy "; and many 
other progressive musicians ... 

[?] A person you can select from former muzakerov? Despite the
what used to be quite a lot, many levels are very
distinctly different from others because not to choose the best
a problem.

[!] Imp, Igoval (hopefully not "former"), Ksa, Mic (Moby),
Ironman (sympathy Boxing is alive;), Matthias, Ivan Bobov 
(Push), Alex Plusov, BlackLord / LFG.


[?] And what do you think about the results of musical 
competitions party in the past, particularly about how Ea has 
traditionally served the first place? Fortunately, after cc000 
this tradition ended. Do you agree with them? Particularly 
interested in your opinion Virtual party, because in my opinion 
it is in these results less objective.


[!] I will say that I liked FunTop'98 "ZX-Sos" by Igoval, and
I would give him first place. Well I never asked;) A EA
- Well, twice in a row to please the crowd who hate agrrromnoy
music-compo people:) It's cool by definition.

A virtual party more sympathetic to me, because I think more
adapted for Music / GFX / few bytes intro. (The real party
more Torquay from spectacular dem.) Works with them you can 
listen to relaxed atmosphere with a cup of tea or soup plates. 
AND take part in the vote may be more different people, and that

very cool - not only because ex'USSR. And, as a rule,
an equal number of votelist'ov results are much
more sober than the real party. True, shake off from the people 
so much votes - now a problem.


[?] At the expense of Ea, then is that, by definition. =) And 
for me FunTop more like 'Rain' by Zhenya ^ Zero. Dachshunds, 
the maximum a place that you worked on party?


[!] Track "Welcome to the looser's land" - 3rd place at phat'9. 
AND "Deep Green" - 3e place in the no-copy at the 
Millenium-virtual party (This is the place where we shared with 
BlackGroove'om). 

[?] Six months ago there was the largest in the last three years
party - cc000. Your opinion about the last party? As you know, 
your Mouzon "Elephant" has not passed preselekt strongly if it 
was you upset? : - / What's your opinion about the quality of 
music works in this party and music-compo results?


[!] Cc000 - a proper party, I take it as a
Enlight successor and FunTop. It is a pity that I could not help
him to come. And the fact that "Mad Elephant" has not passed 
preselekt, probably true. To be honest - almost angry,) Topics

more than that as far as I know from party'ynyh reports, the 
people does not like music-compo on real party. Doubt that

results would be objective. The quality of work I can say -
only then that I erased them immediately after listening to 
(actually a I had a broken archive, and normally only play a few

tracks), even the results so far have not looked;) In my 
opinion, blame is not entirely sober (according to 
eyewitnesses) preselekt, and I seems to fail was a division on 
copy / no-copy music, at the Real party it would be better to 
make the image and likeness PC / Amiga - that is, traditional / 
alternative. 

[?] If cc1, Will you come? What do you think
the emergence of the next Millennium'1901, Paradox'2001?

[!] Cc1 collected on how much I like - but that's unlikely
come (if only the work of any found). A
Millennium'1901 and Paradox'2001 I perceived as local
party, and nothing bad is that they will provide an opportunity
talk to the people, including those who can not come to
de-facto global cc1, I do not see. But the results in the 
music-compo for real) party, under the current situation, in my 
opinion, will biased with a probability of 90%.


It seems to me now do not have enough quality organized
Virtual'nyh party (such as Complex Compo or Millenium) of which 
must be about three or four a year, so people will not lose 
shape and felt, where the wind blows.


[?] Well, Well, I hope to hear your work on a new,
Organized by us, virtual party - Nuotrauka'tm. But in general, 
that do you think about the rest cc'000 works exhibited in other

nominations? Particularly interested in your opinion about dem: 
how Would you set up the place, is whether the development on 
our stage in the plan demostroeniya, the best job?


[!] Graphics delighted, though sad that PheeL not won first
place, in my opinion, his no-copy screen honestly earned it. 
Screen Paracels'a also very beautiful.


Demos, I probably would have left in the same manner. In Dogm'e 
cool graphics and cool 3D-effects, however, in my opinion, quite

boring music. At Brainwave in Deme stylish top, beautiful
multicolor'nye effects, cool Funk-motif of Megus'a, but
the end of the sense of wholeness demos / styling is lost - 
left, crooked skonverchennaya schedule and not at all "in the 
subject" chunky-effect break the whole logic. But if Brainwave 
finalized Tryptomine Dream, they would undoubtedly have won 
first place. 

Pleased Accept Corp - quality, slightly reminiscent
nostalgy music, beautiful 8x8-coloured chunks effects
cute (albeit a little slow) 4x4-chunks effects
brought the 4-th place. Ehh ... and why not the third? 
(However, I do not seen Risc'a of Extreme, but according to 
those same witnesses, he a bit weaker than the work Accept'ov)


It is a pity that razzlers'y not put something new (some
seen scenergy # 2 intro and to cc000). By the way, through the 
development of demostroeniya - I really like the work of 
razzlers'ov. Their ss000-invitation, scenergy2-intro, 
Novgorod'1140-demo made very stylish, without regard to 
stereotypes. The same can be said about Brainwave, their Deme 
and invitatsii. Development for me - a search new and 
innovative effects, themes, use of unconventional (for dem) 
music. In my opinion, even in demostroenii so many 
opportunities - there is much to develop (and not necessarily 
in 3D, - in 2D still a lot of beautiful things do not 
implemented;). 

Another (a deadlock?) Branch to legitimize the party turbo.

[?] In about the incompleteness Tryptomine dream I have another
opinion. The fact that the deme imprisoned for original sound 
track. A Tracks such areas are usually always the case and end,

unexpectedly. So, imho, this is done just at the time. ")

Will you support his work western party, such
as Forever'2e3 second edition, ZX-Party'2001? Heard of such a
party as the Alternative?

[!] I will! ;) As shown by the previous party, Western fans
Spectrum thinking a little differently. As part of the music
preferences are, in my opinion, is more noticeable. I'm 
wondering [Taste] 'graded their tastes;)


True, about Alternative have not heard.

[?] Regarding Alternative - read in the ZX-Pilot # 39.

So, 4th Dimension. Briefly tell the story of creation, why
that name, whose initiative, who organized, how you got there?

[!] As part of the history of the 4D, I'm not special - just 
recently started find out what's what. It seems to be first met 
pROF and JTN, then they were through irc, with the help of Arty 
/ DR came to DiVER'a, which, as it turned out, also visited the 
channel # z80. After, they I joined, but after a couple of 
months, GD Officially, the organizer did not was, but more 
proactive, in my opinion, has always looked DiVER. 

Name of Fourth Dimension passed "inherited" from the more
Ancient Permian group, which is involved in the release e
newspapers on tape and anything else, just do not know.

And I was in 4D as follows. In the autumn of 1998, through
CyberJack'a I came into possession of the first three issues of 
the newspaper # z80 by 4D, where the "authors" was surprised to 
Permian address. Without thinking, wrote a letter Diver'u aka 
OrangeFox, home address which is found also in the list of the 
firm's clients "Scorpion". Agreed to meet at the coterie readers

"Figaro" (party "in the tank, on which basis then we began our
spektrumistskaya), which, as it turned out, both are already 
quite a while inquire and, though not personally acquainted, 
but a couple of times did shake hands.


I showed his work, they apparently did not arouse feelings
disgust;) In addition to the 4D was not full-time musician, and 
through a couple three weeks from Diver'a followed a proposal 
to enter into group to which I immediately agreed.


[?] And whose idea was to create Millenium virtual party, and 
made a you any input into it? How would you generally 
appreciated this party (How to conduct and the results)?


[!] After ComplexCompo'99, it became clear that the virtual
parties - it was good. However, DC-Pak said that the following 
will Only a year later. Diver then, remember, was indignant:) 
Then another flew past the idea that virtual compo on that and 
virtual, to be can take place anywhere. Somewhere in July I 
called 1999go DiVER'u and reminded him of his intention to 
crank it. Especially It is ideally suited to the role of 
organizer of the event - He knew a lot of people here and in 
the west, it is also already known and there and there, some of 
them - thanks to irc, others - through the newspaper # z80. 
Again the same managerial talent is evident.


To compo differed from the others (in this case, complex
compo) the better, I proposed to divide the gfx / music by
nominations original / converted. DiVER transformed this idea 
into copy / no copy, which, in my opinion, was no less a coup.


Then all this was discussed Permian public. Decided to do:
"Party - to be!".

The very same organization, invitations, and collect 
vytryasyvanie operations, manufacturing and distribution 
votelist'ov, canvass - all it fell on Diver'a. With JTN'om they 
made shell view works.


By the way, for all time vote on MilleniuM, Diver is not
displayed and talked about the interim results _nikomu_;)

In general, more detailed report on MilleniuM better read
the sixth issue # z80.

[?] And by the way, the music works with this party - compulsive
question: Selected Realms, Sexy Potion?!! Hurt glissando
Recalls ... ; D

[!] Yeah, I liked it samoreklamny track "SexyPotion"
:) A remix of my "White road", imho, reminds style AndyFer'a
and fittingly took third place in the copy-music ...

Yes, and though Jorg / SR = Diver/4D, Sexy Potion / SR <> 
Siril/4D;) 

However, probably enough dress, Sexy Potion - fruit
joint meditation - my and Andy;)

[?] I see! Than they are now engaged in 4D?! Whether there was 
a large lock in your manufacturing process, when the army 
departed Orangee aka Diver?


[!] From my point of view is quite big. But beware
that my point of view, quite specific;) Unfortunately I do not
very fit (optimized) to monitor
news (even in their group, what a nightmare ;))).

I can only say what he did / I do - when it finds
Inspiration - adapting the right (to me) program to skorpovskomu
screw ... All that's doing utility for quick reading (similar to
Vortex system on the PC, but more cute), may be
ever been completed yet.

[?] Personally, you participate in some kind of projects outside
your group?

[!] Aside from IMD, there is no ... Though, probably, I would 
like ... 

[?] Thank you very much, that sent a few tracks for our
magazine. So now that you can rightfully assume that you
uchastvuesh and beyond 4D! :) Heard about a new issue
your newspaper # z80? Or it was an initiative only Diver'a?
Generally, an interesting stsenovaya newspaper, written in 
accessible language even for non-Russians. Who else do you 
think is necessary to give "Must" for this?


[!] # Z80 was an initiative not only Diver'a and only 4D +
MarchCat, but it seems to me that all "indicators" can be
would have been had called the editor # z80. According to this, 
after all it was natural that it (a newspaper) is almost 
officially bent after he left the army. In general, we talked 
with him on this subject - Diver finds that, among other 
things, the subject of the newspaper exhausted (ie the internet 
+ ZX Spectrum), and has already Only on this is not worth it 
anymore to release ... Type better / easier / more correct to 
start a new project, free from ideology and interface # z80 ...


To the "availability" for not speaking Russian in
perfection - I do not know, maybe it was the result of
conscious action. But ask me on this topic is useless
- I have not written any articles for the # z80, and all joined 
in 4D already after 4-th issue, and, theoretically, had the 
opportunity to participate in the preparation of only 2 of its 
rooms. A practically only one - the 6 th, which was entirely 
devoted to Millenium Virtual Party, however, been limited to

Mouzon providing for her.

[?] Well, once the conversation turned to the newspaper, then 
tell me, what else stsenovuyu media do you prefer to read? Only 
here do not BornDead into account, as it is already dead.


[!] I was reminded of a cartoon I've seen in
notorious earlier journal Krokodil: begging
ask: "banknotes which country do you prefer
at this time of day?. "editions, which I could call
stsenovymi not so much ... Rather, before death BornDead'a I
would call only two: the aforementioned and scenergy. However, 
neither that no it is not / is a complete stsenovymi. BornDead

approached stsenovosti through "ostepenenie" so to speak "from
alternatives to the mainstream ", and held only on
authority / journalism MMA and steep Monster'a code.
Scenergy was originally announced as stsenovoe edition, however,
imho, some of extremism and idealism in lighting "scenes" and
definition of its basic concepts have generated a lot of 
neponyatok and obidok (Not always motivated) on the part of

spectrum-community.

Against this background, it was pretty funny to watch
"Antistsenovoy" and "antistsenerskoy" wave in some editions,
where sceners not draw a vile zhidomassonami
organizing its next world-wide conspiracy, not a cross between
Hare Krishnas and the "white brothers" suck out the poor 
righteous spektrumistov money, brains and ability to write 
useful software :) I thought a couple of numbers, use this 
stupid hysteria end, however, some still enthusiastically waving

slogans such as "software - programmers," "benefit - users,
"Scene - sceners";)

Aaaammm ... Something I digress;)

In general, I think, not for any publication of its Declaration
"Stsenovosti" / "antistsenovosti" will benefit.

[?] What do you think about www.scenergy.org and the frequency 
and "Freshness" of information real Scenergy? Do I need a stage

periodic stsenovy magazine?

[!] Www.scenergy.natm.ru - nice site with fresh news
and software (by the way, from there you can download Never 
Noised;). True, I do not often visit there, because go out on 
the internet mostly only in order to download mail. On web 
hardly crawl. (However, recently learned about a fairly dynamic

competitor scenergy - site www.pos.izhnet.ru.) So, tell
as follows: real Scenergy - it's good, low frequency - this
bad;)

About periodical stsenovogo magazine, imho, "stsenovymi not
born stsenovymi become ";)

kristoph: pos.izhnet.ru gives the heat! Synergie is resting in 
comparison with the daily updated resource. 

[?] And on the charts by Ash that you say? I have so they do not
impressed. Done rather kitsch, and the results
more crap.

[!] Www.zxchat.boom.ru? In my opinion, the site is made 
sufficiently qualitatively. Though it is inconvenient to get to 
the bottom of nominations - in Screen explorer not intermeddle 
(a proskrollirovat - you can not). 

And the results from the Ash'a not depend on;) Moreover,
voted there for only about forty people, some already here
the ultimate truth. Maybe it's because of some
indistinctness, which was observed in the process of creating 
zxcharts. Their EI does, then Ash, then he refuses, then vice 
versa), but now they already have and imho it makes sense to 
untwist. The main thing that was a standard votelist, which 
would be accepted regardless of its occupancy of the 
nominations, and then all the people nonsense wrote, or the 
first one will remember (judge for yourself;) - if only fill in 
all fields. 

[?] By the way, tell me, what have you been for the action of 
such a Ellvis'om called Im2-MD? This is a temporary cooperation 
or something else? I Ellvis / ZT ^ CTL, even some small demo 
sent! 

[!] Association of IMD (IM2 Must Die) advocates the following 
point view - a real programmer never uses the mode

interruption of the second kind (IM2), only zero, zero in the 
extreme case first. The fact that the negative influence of

IM2 to the system of human activities, internal / external
bodies. More detail it all covered in the demo you mentioned
;) Initiator of the IMD were Ellvis / ZT and GD/4D, and I just
cling to their glory at a time when they are close to agreeing
the establishment of IMD on irc;)

[?] Now most of scenery also support other
platform. I wonder what you think about platforms like
Commodore-64, Atari?! Well, of course, the traditional question:
how do you feel about PC / AMiGA?

[!] Never seen a Commodore-64, or Atari. Amig'u had
opportunity to touch a SoulSplinter/4D - our staff
amizhnika, but since the touch not too long - nothing
certain I can not say except: "cool demos out there."

PC - where they just do not:) But also a sign not too close
(Though when I learned that the address space of the PC in 
three locations sticking ROM - long laugh).


[?] Have you yourself on pc / amiga as muzaker'a? If
yes, then surely some your work can be found online?

[!] About a year ago, tried his hand at FastTracker'e on the PC 
- as a result of the screw lies KiM'a couple arhivchiki with my

modules are not very high quality. Then the relative
regular access to the PC cover and there is nothing more I can 
not do it. Although hotstsa.


[?] What do you think about the tracks on the Speccy 
conversions from other platforms? What's your opinion, whether 
such work in our scene? After all, if all the analysis, there 
is much work to muzakera more than writing a simple acoustic 
remix some popular pop music.


[!] For muzakera, if you search, you can find a lot of work 
where anything - to make discs formatted for Ms-Dos, for 
example;) I do not know personally for me is much more 
difficult to write a "simple hearing the remix, even if it is 
not just a mechanical conversion, because for a full transfer 
in addition to relying on sources still have to resort to his

"Audition", but in the case of purely auditory
remixes for musician will have no bearing on the score,
therefore, it is more difficult.

[] Yes, but there were no such converters ... How do you feel 
about this directions as Break Beat, Jungle, Ambient? What do 
you think Are there any prospects for such styles on Speccy?


[!] Well, while I am alive BaZe/3SC, breakbeat on Speccy not 
zagnetsya;) Jungle too, in my view, depicted ... Ambient was 
not bad represented in the album Visual'a "The way to the 
heaven gates". Once these styles at Speke is the past, it is 
logical to assume what will the future;)


However, I was to some extent, more interested in other
direction in the AY-music when the style, themes, do not go 
"outside", well in the sense of no where attempts are being 
made with a minimal degree similarity to portray a style / 
sound means AY. And when Conversely, the possibility AY 
determine the direction, sound, theme, optimized specifically 
for the AY. In principle, I like think that I used to work in 
this direction;) 

[?] Exact jungle portrayed zHenYa ^ 0 in his track 'Nothing'. A
What is your Alternative to dee-JooZ'a in beccul? I think so,
this is a great innovation for the Speccy lately. Sound
simply awesome!

[!] He reminded me that sound, which has recently
promotes the Ironman, a dee-JooZ'a it's true in more
melodic. As a phenomenon - I'm interested, but in my opinion, 
with so sound'om can make things much nicer if

apply to the psychedelic experemental or ambient.

[?] And here's something nestandartnoje! =] What's your 
opinion, write to what areas tend muzakery such as: Megus, 
Ironman, d-juice, Mm
