Raskolnikovs - Kq: "now almost no motivation to participate in the ZX Democompo on such main stream demopati as CC or CAFe" ...

   The division into two camps, I think, has noticed it. These 
two group of people doing different things, they are 
fundamentally different approaches such as the creation of 
demo, and to the perception of others' works. AND there is no 
doubt that this split in its entirety manifest itself on the 
following construction of Chaos, or any other traditional 
demoparty. 


   The fact that it is now almost out of motives for
participation in the zx democompo on such main stream demopati 
as CC or CAFe. 've Already had such a situation - not

unique to the fleet 80 years - when the underlying
principle, basis, the very essence of demoscene crumbling, 
corroded time. This idea is competition, competition: charts

first place at demopati, evaluation surveys main stream media. 
So Now, today it simply does not have the number of 
participants in all this cycle to continue to operate under the 
old scheme. People filling the charts for the new magazine, 
already struggling to can remember at least five active groups, 
and more focuses on graphs with the words BEST EVER. So

way, the incentive to participate in democompo on traditional 
party, date five years ago, now appears

untenable, inconclusive for a new generation of young
scenery. They just was not competing with anyone!

   However, this situation is even more fruitful for the 
emergence of new groups are not pursuing mercantile interests, 
such as satisfy their own vanity, and assigns primary

to self-realization. Hence it is inevitable emergence of new 
forms, encompassing unusual in the context of demoscene themes 
and subjects. 


   This trend will be left without support: now we know
on the informal demopati, which will be organized in summer 2005
in the town of Rybinsk group Cyberpunks Unity. Can be large
confidently assert that the works, and participants in this
party will suffice.


   So, in essence, this tusovka will take some work to
all used to seeing on the main stream demopati (and boo them.)
Because it is unlikely people who understand the absurdity of 
his participation in such party, they want to continue to 
exhibit them. If we analyze the composition of the KH4, it 
becomes clear that in fact we have three groups who made two

work. If the next year, for example, cpu and skrju
ignore KH5 and volga soft unlikely to do anything
(Okay, let - instead blown Petrograd guys, Slavka
Kalinin and KV), it generally is in principle possible that,
when demokompo will be billed only three works. Already in
This year was not a single 4k, there were only three 512b 
(competition that gathers a large number of works), unless the

2005th we will have three papers in democompo - it is quite
could probably coerce organizers opt out of
Spectrum components. Even today, not rarely hear about such
aspirations of the younger generation of scenery from the PC.


   Such a turn of events can be much more interesting than
ordinary course of events! The worse the better! - As in Mao 
Zedong Tung. Because then begin the real underground, on the 
Spectrum stop writing in the main stream media like magazine or 
Hacker Computerra will not work in the archives to demopati on 
scene.org. Spectrum scene would be completely tied on itself.



   Namely, in the circumstances of this closed society, and can
born to really interesting things and currents, namely
Spectrum can be the first computer demoscene on which
become almost entirely an alternative, where there will be no 
impurities main stream! Will turn out that the Spectrum will be 
in a similar situation, as once were the Soviet poets, writers,

musicians and artists in the 70's - real underground!
Total rejection of other platforms, the lack of any opinion 
whatsoever that may be of commercial interest, no attention 
from the outside - so in such a greenhouse can grow very large 
and tasty Tomatoes!
