My first Spectrum I came in 1993
year, while I was still 12 years old. This was
not a typical small box with a 48Kb,
which was a lot of time. It was something

Of course, there has never been accompanied by musical

that - the good places in the wide body was
enough.

This is the beginning of time. When is the last game

pressed at the Chelyabinsk flea market and all of dopa
Tuva "And where is the Dream Team?". I do not remember how
met with Anton Shumakov (Ironman)
and quietly with all those who worked while on
stage. Chelyabinsk scene was then in the UPA

I always knew that music is my element.
In the words of Matthew Bellamy (Muse), "Music -

point of view. And all that relates to feelings, it's mine.

Yes, you understood correctly.

Do not even tell you. All of this was spontaneous and
