Интервью

Demopati - intervyu taken Kvazar on CC'999 Alexander Kandaurova / Cusick.

    In one of the "intermission" I
time to talk with
Alexander Kandaurova -
artist from Voronezh, the
Nicknamed Cusick. To give just
a small excerpt from our
conversation.


    Cusick> We came out
Voronezh, I Dima. I brought
one kartinochku -
"Confrontation". Why
brought? I just wanted to
participate in general,
come. Unfortunately, I do not

graphics do a long time;
just so happened that she
nobody needs was provided to

it just washed away ...

    Dimon also like

Voronezh organized
Spectrum Club, a year

in general is not so
global, but merely a place
where the remaining spektrumisty
can gather, talk,
merge softiny, see
demos ...

    Specifically about the creation of
some projects. Just not with the
whom. Here VVG before something there

anybody, anything. Now
not rustling ... Therefore, we have

coders, but they are weak, yes
and two or three on the strength of one

and so to was nishtyak ...


    KVZ> Why are all the same
Spectrum, and not any other
machine?


    Cusick> First of all, I

others, such as dump from this

Far for examples not walk
necessary. If a person on
Spectrum was a coder, then at the HRC
he is a gamer and, at best,
fidoshnik.


    KVZ> Since you
doing graphics like you
assess the latest
graphic work
Spectrum scene, for example
with the same Fantopa?


    Cusick> do not remember exactly, but
I do not like the graphics
so cool by itself,
type there "The X-Files"
and so forth, but rather the idea ...


    KVZ> That is, the story
part of the picture is more important than technology
its execution?


    Cusick> Exactly. When
on-screen plasma, mountains, moon,
Bubbles are - what snot ...
it's probably cool, but not
is meaningless, it's all wrong.
But I understand the voices that
if you draw, it is necessary
focus on the audience.
It seems to me that many people
not yet mature enough to see
the same idea, plot,
artistic thought. I
specifically, by the way, paying
note that when a
snotty monster with no eyes and
ears, bleeding, all
applaud. And in general,
For some reason many people like
something wild, terrible,
nightmare ...


    KVZ> Probably aggressive
more extreme styles
attract artists than
something more tranquil?


    Cusick> Yes. It is unclear
why, but in the works
always want to,
For some reason all of this should

that if, for example, is written

it must necessarily
correspond to the idea. If you
write killer DeMouy -
Please, draw these faces,

everything fits. Of course,

all that, but because there are both

You feel that everything is created
tasteful.


    KVZ> What's next, what
prospects do you see before
themselves in the near future?


    Cusick> Most important -
raise a new generation.
Old, they grow up,
marry, they are changing
hobbies, interests, and finally,
they just get older. Because
I think all the same

25 years - usually the ceiling.


    KVZ> You mean
that the Spectrum - a computer
only pupils and students?


    Cusick> Well I would not be so
generalize. That's up to us and my grandfather
walked into the club, he's already over 60 -
was pretty cool. But
The situation in what? People still

New and only we, and

    KVZ> And how, if possible
save for the new Spectrum
generation?


    Cusick> Well firstly, it
need with nothing to compare,
not clog the brains of type:
"Speccy - rulez, PC - suxx"
or otherwise. This approach
incorrect. People need it somehow
so teach, such as
club beer ...

    In my opinion, although it
may seem strange,
when everything is dying out
exists in the form of organization
clubs. That is, the club - this is
a bunch of people out there who
rustle, do not cry, do not go on strike,
and mind their own business.
The main idea - in the pool.

    In general, I believe that
Spectrum is suffering from advertising.
Advertising the same Amiga. Spectrum
Amiga teaches advertising and
currently doing the opposite. Here at
I had one case on my
memory - a man made DeMouy and
wrote a "Amiga - rulez!".
I asked him: "You're it
seen? "He replied:" No ".
So do now concluded.


    KVZ> Another such issue. That
do you expect from the festival
CC'999?


    Cusick> For myself - before
most interesting meetings,
interesting people with whom you can
will cooperate. Maybe
in Russia is not the only club
Voronezh, probably here in
Peter is, can somewhere else.
We must unite. For example, I
I think it would be nice

this without spending large
money.

    I had a case was
The regional exhibition in our
club, and exhibited all sorts of
there crafts, achieving
kartingistov, a circle of skilled
hands. And I brought back
Spectrum. There we had

we got second place
(The first not won there the jury
it was senseless, they just
not entered in the sense of it all
it) and it was just nice.
Even though we have not received
prize.
