Interview with Antares
elph / CPU
Almost any party, at which we go, I see someone
from Antares, usually Pheel,
EA and Marianna. Konex have not
appeared in the eyes of the public. More than a year, with the
words EA, we know that the ATS does not exist, and this in
spite of this there is 512byte intro by Konex / Antares -
naturally, I do not could not know the current situation
affairs and not to talk about the past, once known demogroup.
Elf> Actually from you have not had
No releases on the Spectrum.
Konex> Well, that intro 512-e.
Elf> Right now, yes. You're like
following information on the scene?
Konex> Yes, I try.
Elf> Yes? And what was the reason for such a long absence?
Konex> On the stage?
Elf> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even at the party, we
You have not seen on any.
Konex> Hello. At 99 we CAFe
win, then we went here
in 2000 and the SS. I was, Marianna was, we were all there. In
2001 I never was. Only
party, which I missed, it was the SS in 2001 and it was due to
some personal problems. There. And why not kodil you mean?
Elf> Yes.
Konex> Why, why ... Well, were
problems. First, I used to
learned, yes. Looking for work - has found.
A lull was due to lack of time - after working hard coding.
Want to relax after work. And pokodit and play, in short -
everything you want.
Elf> And what are your plans for the future with respect to
Spectrum'a?
Konex> I, for nakodil intro, and so
I pinned it all, so
great when you finish
a thing. Class in general. A
when it looks in the hall, generally
rulez! Well, in general, and I do not know, I feel energized. I
would love to anything done if Pheel would not conserved in
general ...
Elf> Do you have unfinished
Projects what else?
Konex> Incomplete? None. All
finished already. Long time.
Elf> And you do not plan to again demomaking'om do?
Konex> Yes. Demomaking, of course,
rules.
Elf> Ie in the following some
party can be from you something to wait.
Konex> Probably yes.
Elf> Ie Antares is restored to full strength?
Konex> I do not know who it was said
about the collapse, in principle, we
friends, everything is fine with us.
Simply, we, after all that
could win, win,
calmed down a bit. This can be
therewith. I do not know, it is difficult
say. But I think that if this
gather in the normal, then
You can still make a lot of good. And the idea in principle, we
can think of. And free time find.
Elf> And you do not know why
Pheel'a today, no?
Konex> Well, it's the computer at all interested in the
recently completely lost. I got carried away anime manga ie
Even the picture on the compo is not sent.
Elf> What a surprise.
Konex> Well, he did "conservative" in life, it must make, make
and make. A it is difficult to make because
he growled into the phone, moos-moos:
"M-mm-m m-mm-m". Can and
write - "moo-moo-moo". And, in short,
as it ignores. His hard
something to get done, draw, although it can. And well
can. A productivity of our
dropped due to lack of total
free time. All steel work-time was less.
Elf> We do the same.
Konex> Yes, you understand, then
matured, I've been married. And so,
I am pleased to upload
Spectrum, and still do and I'm playing with
y-to-tungsten-Sthwy it. Love
Spectrum and the pc do not want to hear.
At work, it infuriates me.
The next day interview with Antares continued:
Elf> Maybe tell me about your past jobs?
Konex> So, the essence was:
This was the beginning of 97-year,
spring-summer, and now, Kvazar of
Rush it their chief swapper in general. Here, he sends me a CD
with IMP'ovskimi Mouzon. Before
I therefore agreed with IMP'om that
I told him Depeche Mode text refer,
the new album, he told me Mouzon
for the demo. Just as we had agreed. Naturally, his name
everywhere present, in the credits. We
begin to make Ecstatic Dub.
Some parts were invented
in advance, but some of us
already arrive just in time for Mouzon. Such
as "E-e-e ... COOL", at the end so
"Shit". We just did not know that
vostavit for these sounds. Left
like this. That is, nothing more
fit. And we we fix this
DeMouy so the music that we like
It seemed, in my opinion, the other demos so I do not know,
maybe I am a little conceited.
Ea> At the time - yes.
Elf> Then it is allocated.
Konex> It is clear at all under each pattern is fixed under each
effect unambiguously. My joy seems that this is not bad, at
least, may even well. Further. Then came the 98 th year.
Time to make a new DeMouy. I nakodil effects, Pheel painted
schedule, it remains the case for music. Music to fit the code.
You know, on the contrary, as it were. No code
the music in Ecstatic Dub, and
music under the code.
EA> I'm short, came to him,
he ran ALASM part
so far, shows it to me. I'm at it
watching something imagined
in my head and just started writing pattern'y under this part.
AND Behold these pattern'ov already made the whole soundtrack.
All I want to say: "It is better so do not ever leave."
Elf> A, ie You do not holistically music
saw when he wrote?
EA> Yes, when you just listen to
music from the demos, this garbage turns out ...
Elf> Well, maybe. Incidentally, I
not listened to separately, but probably ...
Konex> First Mouzon still nothing
but the second - all shit.
EA> And you turn off the monitor, and hear what a complete
garbage. Music perfectly parallel do but production code should
be delayed. You know what I have ideal? Dema at Funtop'e was
Boom said. There Kenotron'ovsky Mouzon. I have it, Mouzon
This, alone I can hear,
Shoot, many times. Just makes me happy. And from the demos it
too fucking listen.
Konex> It seems to me that when
are you looking at this DeMouy, Boom, there
some parts seem very lengthy.
EA> No, it is quite rhythmic, in my opinion.
Konex> All is good in moderation.
EA> And here is the parts that seem to be protracted, it's just
Mouzon such. In fact. There's nothing you can do.
Konex> We had to cut down repetitive pattern'y, at the
case. I looked DeMouy yesterday too
on Spectrum'e - Traffic of
Death. Of course, I understand that
coder spent much time
something to think about this effect,
but you can not skip this part
same time, how much time he spent on something that is
create.
EA> Well, there he chip in its
design specific.
Konex> Well yes, but the same thing, same thing, well,
different - is it changes shape in different colors, but the
same thing. Well, as you can. Well, guys, are you stupid? Do
not you you see, or what? I, of course, you
I respect all, of course, OK, what did DeMouy thanks a lot, but
we can not so stretched. And I agree with the encoder that he
spent a lot of time to look for this effect, he spent an insane
amount of days and nights on this, but one can not overestimate
their abilities. People who watch DeMouy, they
negative attitude has to work. Same, same
all the time. Well, showed 10 seconds
15, 20, well, everything, well 30. But not 2 same
minutes to show it. Some of those
the same word, well, words that are different for
the same plate, it is not
case. I do not know, we released that
same Devotion, there looks all
in one breath, agreed.
Elf> Yes, even the most ideal
option - it is a Placebo. They coder - he's a musician himself
customize for themselves.
Konex> Yes, he writes music,
this is the best.
EA> All Spectrum musicians are divided into two categories: one
well-known technique, others
good hearing. I know the technique, but I have no hearing at
all.
Elf> You usually following
spectrum'osvskoy scene, the music, for the compo, in general
...?
EA> None. Two years already.
Elf> Well, nothing.
Konex> vain, in vain. I even add - in vain!
EA> I see that all they want from me
so I wrote something. His last Mouzon I wrote, I even have a
date ... I looked their old Mouzon, somewhere in February of
2000.
Konex> Ie we won everything
that could win, well, it
Of course, not a minus, it is good to
On the one hand, but somehow a little run we have diminished,
perhaps, I do not know. So, Lech?
EA> is so diminished that
I pohren already, what place we
loans, although the last one. I
many diplomas at home that can be
wall all hang round.
Konex> be sure to insert the following phrase in the magazine!
When I today woke up in a hotel
morning, I remembered our previous day
interview, and thought: "If the we
really make the following DeMouy, it should be generally
slaughter. "What can we do
DeMouy, Lech?
EA> Really. No graphics.
Konex> Pheel'a hard to get, but possible. I have a bunch
oldest of his works, which are generally
no one saw, no one at all. They
Once I stored on disk.
Pyramids of sorts ... I will not say. Tam is the shit is not
shit really. Ie we can DeMouy do, and, you know, here
This man (pointing to
Elf'a), he personally inspired me to
it. I thought: 'What the hell! " You
you know, I thought that here I am
sitting here on the second day, I see MS
people are sleeping. Half the room is empty. A
Yesterday the people rejoiced.
EA> You generally easier. Because
that you have a home Spectrum. And
I Spectrum removed very far, I have two pc stand.
Elf> And why did you two pc?
EA> With one sister sits in Internet'e, for others I'm
usual.
Konex> I go to nearly seven
party and noticed that on the PC these days
people are either sleeping or on the sidelines
discussing the vicissitudes of yesterday. People less than 2
times. Petseshniki - it nesplochenny team.
Elf> They have no such spirit.
Konex> They do not have, they all closed on the headstock. I
mean, you pay grandmother - I'll write to you anything can be
someday. Spektrumistam not care all: you'll pay, not pay ...
You're doing just to themselves. I did intro, you know how
I was happy when I finished it at 3 o'clock in the night from
Thursday to Friday. I was so happy!
When completed the DeMouy-O, damn it,
Kaif!
EA> I have ever received money only on CAFe.
Konex> Of course, we paid
on CAFe 99, for the victory demo
compo lot of dough dumps. Since then we have repaid their
travel, and I He and Pheel, and even ate barbecue and drank
wine. Nice, of course, but money does not depended entirely,
we're not sought. There. This petseshniki on
actually develop this theme.
They are, if you do not pay anything, not
strain even to do something. I
believe that it should not be
business of some sort. Just do
for himself, just himself satisfied that
You did something that is nice
look. I do not have to pay
for that someone money, and I do not
expect that someone will pay me. There.
I just look - I like it, and
everything. I do not know for commerce wrapped only petseshniki
as I think.
EA> Party Life - a funny thing! When you constantly ride
on the party, you see so many
work, and good work, you realize that a year man
doing something, then brought it to
party, exposed. I think it goes
the soul is simple. There is no
Money is not required.
Elf> By the way, you know that
Exploder, doing just earning attendants on their
INTRO Amiga?
Konex> Really?
EA> I want to confess one thing:
alternative pc'yushnuyu I made from the heart, tried for a long
time. A 4-x channel mod I did on mercantile again, reasons.
Already few days before the party I thought, literally: "But
the money also will pay! ". I wrote a mod
very, very quickly. During the day,
in my opinion.
Konex> You see, you reasoned,
as pc'shnik.
Elf> Yes, yes. This topic is on the pc can be traced
continuously.
Konex> And this is a typical difference.
EA> And I con - I'm in game play
on the pc. I do not write music on virtually mi.
Elf> Well, you'll be ready for demos
write track?
EA> We'll have to have, of course.
After some time on the street
Elf> I want to ask you, last time I was at some party or
I go, everywhere you see. And I wonder, you're really so
interested demomaking, what your priorities are, or are you
just for the company with his brother pursue?
Marianna (ex-Sister)> In fact,
actually I'm interested, not the demomaking, but what happens
around.
Elf> atmosphere?
Marianna> Yes, the atmosphere, the people
who come here. Well, not
only here, but on the other party.
Ie I'm interested, and pleased
talk, I'll take part in
CAFe 2002, this is how you can tell, my debut. Mp3 exhibited
in my name, there's my
poetry, music is also mine. Well, arrangement, there is any,
technical ...
Elf> You brother helped?
Marianna> my brother helped, yes.
Because I'm in the editors, so do not
know much about. Well, that is, there
motif, the text - this is mine. Voice too
my.
Elf> Okay. Well, you're in the future
plan to just play music and exhibit at various party?
Marianna> Well, I just love music, I'm interested in music
Tenders all, I vote for them too, and my brother are engaged in
music. I want to and he also participated and won both same.
Elf> And you can select anything from the submitted demo
compo works?
Marianna> Demo compo?
Elf> Yes, let's at Spectrum
looked yesterday?
Marianna> On the Spectrum I looked, but the name does not
remember me hard to say. Leaflets are handed over.
Well, the latter liked
in my opinion.
Miguel> And about the milk? Penultimate.
Marianna> About Milk? I do not
remember that the milk was in general?
Miguel> penultimate fifth.
Marianna> No, I was realized that
they are deliberately shown in such a manner that from the
worst to best.
Elf> Yes, it is constantly Unbeliever
shows.
Marianna> But generally I think it is better to skip rnd,
ie when by chance, not in order of coolness. Here's the music
they spun so that it seems to me, in what order they came ...
Elf> Well, they are trying to whip up
atmosphere.
Marianna> This is a whip, because the viewer, when normally
looks, he is remembered more recent work, and everything.
Naturally, someone who wants to push, push, can
therefore be specifically indicate the latter.
Elf> Well, yes. Basically you're in something
right, yes. And of the party, where have you been, what do you
think is the most successful, well, your personal impressions?
Marianna> The most successful ... In
terms of organization?
Elf> Well, actually - only. Where are most like?
Marianna> I liked it
everywhere. And so ... Millennium 1901
I do not really like it. Well, Enlight 97, of course, all
know that there happened to him, but
it was my first party, at which I arrived, but I'm still with
such square eyes went, little understood, that all this
going on around that I have all this
I see. There are so many well-known ...
I was still generally no
knew. I'm not saying that I am now
Many people know.
Elf> Well, actually many, because you always notice.
Marianna> If only superficially.
Elf> Well, maybe.
Marianna> That, and I CAFe
liked it. I was the first time in
99-year - loved it. 2000-nd
was unsuccessful with the organization,
And the people were, in general, probably 20 people.
Elf> But what do you say went there?
Marianna> We went there, yes. In
This year, perhaps the best of
all. Funtop, in Moscow. Funtop,
Of course - there is all the organizers
my friends were. I just took a while Antares, per month
to Funtop'a somewhere.
Elf> A to Spectrum exhibited
something?
Marianna> No, I did then did nothing. I was just like
support group and fan.
Then I, on behalf of the group corresponded with other people
because that my brother was not involved in this
correspondence, he wrote, of course, the letter, but until his
nose is not tknesh, that you've got the letter - no reply.
Therefore, I assumed this feature is not that I was forced, so
just turned itself.
Elf> Well, that is, You external contacts
swarper?
Marianna> How swarper, yes. I
even T-shirt is. We did
T-shirts with nicknames: Sister, EA,
Konex - a year ago, or, in my opinion,
two. I have been there just a modem
spectrum'ovsky, for some reason
external. Then I was swarper, a
Now I do nothing to Spectrum do not have.
Elf> Well, of course. Just take a look
work, as I understand it, the party.
Marianna> I see, yes. Schedule
This year, however, missed,
but looking demo, listened to music.
Elf> But here the sound was very
bad ...
Marianna> Sound in general was
bad. Not only on the spectrum,
I did not like. May simply
Facilities such, or with equipment problems?
Elf> No, they have equipment, such
technically were not prepared.
Marianna> I have not deepened into details what their
equipment, it's right up my street. But just as a listener, it
seemed to me that it is not sound, in fact be.
Elf> Well, it was really interesting to talk with you and
Your opinion about everything going on to find out, because not
so many girls we meet in the party.
Marianna> I also wonder
because I've never interviewed did not take.
Elf> Well, we will be exclusive.
