History of Antique Toy
Megus / Brainwave

elph> In my opinion, antique toy
one of the most well-organized virtual components, the number of
which for some reason, almost no
increases in recent years.
I want to ask you some questions related to the
this event, I think, now
you have a good experience.
You decide how to respond, on
how to go from the topic, etc. it
just a topic that must be
light.

Megus> Thanks for the high
assessment. We, in fact, do not
believe. Blunders and mistakes have been
allowed a very, very much.
Hopefully, they can be corrected in
next time. Main trouble - we have not made a site
@ Toy. Another big mistake we
little agitated people to participate
and to vote. Away from the topic
I will not. Will try to answer as accurately as possible. Maybe 
the other organizers me something corrected.


elph> Like someone had the idea of ​​antique toy?

Megus> After returning from
CC'01 I had the idea to organize a purely musical virtual 
components. I broke into organizational zeal, I began think 
about the rules and to seek allies. I decided that would be 
nice to preselekt pick-Committee (I to

still tend to think about
that even in the virtual component
needed preselekt). Chose several well-known musicians from both
ex-USSR, and from other countries, sent them letters of 
invitation participate in the organization and

preselekte. Responses, however, received little. Among the 
responding was Siril, who, as it turned out, his head hovered 
similar ideas. Was his idea to cover

compo, the division into mainstream / progressive offering, and
I just called them as it is
taken at the PC / Amiga -traditional/alternative. Siril also 
suggested the name itself - Antique Toy, under the name of the 
track someone of electronics (I forgot already

is whether Orbital, whether someone
yet. You're there inquire more precisely,
pliz:)) However, in the year at this
and all died out. I asked Siril'a
draw an outline of the rules, but no reply received. And then 
at the my passion pougas. The idea gained new life on 
CAFe'2002. I MMCM, Andy Fer and Justinas decided - Antique Toy 
to be! :) From now on you can count beginning of the 
preparation of our components. 

elph> How fast were approved by the rules, is particularly 
interesting time with the division of nominations for music and 
graphics of this have not enough to sinter at

my opinion.

Megus> The first sketches of the rules
were ready in early September. First conceived
extremely musical
com, but the Stanly proposed to add a graphical component.
The proposal was accepted, and
Stanly, too, became one of the organizers. Disputes over the 
music component was virtually no unless discussed what

Tracks pick for cover compo.
These passions ran high
when discussing the rules of graphic components. Part of the 
organizers almost quarreled among themselves

:) We argued a lot about it: what components do what the rules
for the components to install, etc. I
It is already difficult to recall how
was a long discussion about the rules.
In my opinion, a little over a month. After that, the rules 
have been translated into English and posted on public display. 

elph> What thoughts come into
collection time votesheets? And after?
While collecting more depressed low activity of the people.

Megus> However, taking into account all
our organizational errors
good that we have collected at least these
40 sheets. I think that the results were quite
objective. The good news is that finally in the components, 
organized in Russia, one of the first places won an English 
musician Gasman. Perhaps this fact

change the attitude of some Western musicians to our party?
Maybe now they will believe
that in Russia they can occupy
high places? :)

elph> From what has been delayed due to the appearance of 
pc-version of the compendium works and the lack of tap, along 
with beautifully done tr-dos

puck?

Megus> PC collection braked a little bit because of the fact 
that most recent works sent

after the deadline, I received not,
and Stanly. I saw them myself, and heard only when the Stanly
sent me a collection of ready-made:)
I had to ask Stanly original music modules and new
schedule I myself take a bite out of
collection:) The reasons for the lack of
tap-version should ask
Stanly and Capry. However, I believe that this is due to lack 
of time. They just do not managed to make it, though, of course

just going.

After all this, I hope that
people do not turn away from the Antique
Toy and if we decide to
it again, we will work and
votes:)
