Today our guest is one of the best musicians on the speccy niko 
/ techno lab, who has kindly agreed to give us an interview. 

here and below r - risk, n - nik-o.

r> hello, introduce yourself to begin with - name, surname, 
nick, country, city. 

Hello!

nik-o - oleg Sergeevich Nikitin, Krasnodar.


r> at the moment you're already a famous musician -
Tell me where it all began, and in the end as you guessed
to become a musician;)?

n> I was forced! I do not like, frankly, did not want: ') but, 
because I was an obedient child, somewhere in the beginning of 
the first class I was go to music school, piano. all sorts of 
sketches, gammki that time I played there, will not will teach 
and develop my Ukhov Sensors:) 

92 I see a neighbor speccy - = 8 - [] (it was pentagon48 with
ay), the most interesting thing I had not realized that the 
music sounded of the columns was Spectrum! I thought it was 
just playing Tape! after much chit-chatting with a neighbor, I 
unscrewed my parents to buy this miracle machine - I 
leningrad48 and the only magazine to him! 

Some time later, I found that I can in basic'e beep'at
sounds of varying length, in consequence, I have most of the 
time spent in this pursuit. Incidentally, since I still keep my 
"albums" in which I have played enough with the music, some 
classical motifs:) 

in 94 of his neighbor appears with a 128-second drive - = 8 - 
[] (all the same pentagon), now I already have some idea of 
​​the ay-sound, but still buy the 48-th-th pulse (local 
option), without ay-chip, but with a floppy drive! at 95, this 
monster has 128kb and muz.protsessor (I confess, I bought this 
ym one user who has decided to to sell their spectrum, because 
He appeared dendy, here I am convinced him that this percent is 
not more than 10 (thousand) rubles, and I'm ready buy it for 15 
rubles. " (Actually, he then sold at prices not on p 50-80. 
apiece) and he is pleased he gave me his Yamaha;)) 

in the same year, get acquainted with some spektrumistami, it 
was the guys from the unit 5, they I get a lot of new software 
and protracker v2.1. we can say that from that moment it all 
started. 

I now have kay-256/turbo, ym (trophy;), soundrive (flash
ver.), xtr-modem, k.mouse, 5.25 and 3.5 drives, flash color 
(buggy), tsv.monitor (cga), as a speaker - mafon 
"riga-310-stereo" (thx, Lech!), dead printer. 


r> you are a member in the group of techno lab - tell me how it 
was formed, who it was and who was left? what were your 
projects - I was specifically interested krnews. 

n> we have in the city at different times there were many 
groups, the most famous, this unit 5, but they had already 
created the most visible activity, but in fact other than trade 
in the market for do nothing. from 95 to 1997 is going great

a bunch of people who could do anything, we are every weekend
going to the "cloud", by the time the unit 5 is no longer 
traded, instead they began trading maxx, under his "wing" and 
we were going. this period was the peak activity of the whole 
nation zx-Krasnodar, vts, our Harder, commissioned from Peter 
xtr-modems, we have them hooked - we liked it:) and then our 
"network" has already shirits vicom-based modems (for all time 
about 15 people) had the first bbs (y smart'a - student 
shadowman / unit 5), then the second (y andi), there is a need 
to network the newspaper, so went 0-th number krnews, in a 
horrible jacket, shorter Everyone liked:) after this event the 
most courageous people decide to join the group for a long time 
going with the forces, managed to Several new rooms krnews, and 
one morning, the code I came to the cloud, I was approached by 
Vitek (vts) and handed me a letter [It is still mine:)], which 
expressed all the motives of the union, the band's name did not 
come up because Vadim (viper) have convinced us that the code 
he knows better than anyone but he was a member of the techno 
lab, which at that time in fact, apart from him there was no 
one (was formerly angel - artist), we liked this name and there 
was degeneration of the group, it included: I vts, gradually 
moved back almost all the people: alex_naz, kasp, crank, maxx, 
andi, cannibal, spectator (I could have someone and forget). 
from this time krnews goes under the label "techno lab". oh 
yes! one man refused to join us (all quickly guessed who it 
was) - gas 13! ;) But he constantly drew for krnews, so for us 
he was "our" artist. except krnews while on other projects no 
one thought, because no organizera, only viper did some 
sistemki (only 4 tl), later already started several games at 
once, even once decided to write a demo of "the whole net "- a 
silly idea:) 


r> than they are now engaged in techno lab?

n> current composition tl significantly reduced, so that we
Now only 2 people:

cannibal - creates a heresy and a lot of draws, makes the album 
of my muzakov, and indeed a normal sidekick, loves beer, but in 
moderation;) 

I muzachu, recently almost never drink beer, but love.

the rest of the lost to the zx.


r> What music are you interested in at that time and which are 
interested in now?

not exactly I know. judging by the style, from the most severe 
and to the classics. no, well not all right in a row! :)



r> tell the story of his nickname.

first saw this method in mmcm / sage, but as far as I know he 
was not the first!? 

n> a very convenient way to put chords (trill), saves
place, an impression that is at least 2 channels. I first saw 
this method in zhenya / zero, but all his delight was able to 
assess a mmcm:)

and kpuk and zx-time and lamergy and games write! why you had 
previously been in the `shadow`?

not.
