Musicians interrogation room ...
Alone coder/i8
When and why did you start writing music at Speke?
I love music and always dealt with it when they had the chance.
In deep childhood I had
monophonic electronic piano and a few children's books with
notes (I play, however, and
not learned). Later I shifted notes in Wham. The first time I
wrote to AY (a PT3) when I found this and brought it to the
editor John'u in December 1998. Music
at that time did not work. The first
I wrote the track after the fact, as
muzprotsessor hooked himself.
It happened in 1999. By the way,
sound in the time I was shot
directly from the chip to the speaker, and it was barely
audible voice:)
Surely you gained experience by studying the works of other,
more experienced and well-known authors. Who among spekovskih
musicians influenced your music at the time and whom you
you can call your teacher?
At that time - of course, John
Silver. Later - MMCM, Macros,
Nik-O, Ironman, D-Juice. Now I
borrow good ideas from all
Streak:)
Your first music editor.
Wham (one that does not FX). I have it
diskofitsiroval. may, however,
be that was the first editor,
which I do not remember the name
single-channel, where each note indicated duration. More
I edited the data for their
players, written from nothing
do (and BASIC, and ASME)
Now what do you think about my
musical past, some important milestones in his career, can you
mention?
Word for word does not repeat all that
was written in GenZ # 3, but add that since then I leaned over
to semiclassical-poluembientnomu style of the game Unreal, yet
began to prefer the electronic
Shock live (acoustic).
Do you think you've got fans,
and especially that they love in your
music? What would you like to say to them?
AY composers with whom I corresponded know my music and
have an opinion about it. The main
the mass of the people are not familiar with it. She
almost always experimental,
ie just shows how you can
I could write, as it is intended for composers and ...
Which musical instruments
do you use (if there are such) in
the melody composing process? There
Do you have experience in other
platforms, and what do you think about this?
Until this winter I painted tools for each module from scratch,
sometimes only made of 2 modules with
identical samples. Right now
I have a drum kit, which
adjusted well enough, and I
recorded them in the form of samples. One of the
percussion - drums - taken from the track
Slip'a "Lena bay! Bay!". on the other
platforms I use a program mod plug tracker for the conversion
of samples and music in wav. Naturally, there to read music,
if it is very curious:)
You're self-critical? What is
your weakest point -
rhythm, melody, arrangement, etc.?
I usually critics inside and say nothing:) What for me
bad is the brevity of music, she
usually made of 1-2 repetitive phrases.
What music do you listen to? What
teams / projects have affected your
approach to writing music, what
moods and feelings are you trying to convey through music? What
do you think about remixes?
Apparently, this question does not refer to
AY music? I have no tape recorder, pc broken so I can
say that I have listened carefully
and analyzed before - it tracks
by A. Brandon and M.van den Bos of the
games Unreal and Unreal Tournament,
Manwe music and audio CD Slip'a,
which he sent me once.
If I vaguely hear on the radio or TV sounds something
interesting, I go up and listen. This business casual. But in
principle I familiar with the main lines of classical,
electronic, jazz, pop, rock, etc. Went to
people who took the CD, listened to music with
Consoles ... Remixes are needed for getting your hands to work
out some new techniques in sound.
Writing only remixes difficult
call composer
On which party you attended, what
place was the highest, and that
do you think about all this?
Tracks I've sent to various party
very often, but got only Paradox'2002, Paradigmus'2003 and
Antique Toy (not counting purely our Virtual The Compo, which
all did not end because of the almost complete absence of
questionnaires). Tallest (4) the place was, naturally, on
Paradigmus - because Tracks were only five:) But
indeed the highest estimate I
I think _poslednee_ place on Paradox'2002.
What do you feel when your track
played to the party? You care about sound,
equipment used, or all of the voting public is not
important?
Most important is the sound - I use
subtleties chip YM2149F. I attended the Paradigmus and in
principle adopted the sound, though he played by AY Emul. The
fact is that although AY Emul (version of the time) plays a
quiet envelope with deafening whistles, big speakers, this
reduced the hiss to a relatively pleasant level. They (and
pumped their power on the TV) was given the power to hear the
sound that once a 30 quieter than the average AY track, it is
heard, in general, not every home equipment:) The audience
hopefully nothing - to appease it tastes to me means
act against the principles.
Do you have any interesting ideas about the future spekovskoy
music? May have some ideas about hardware or software that
could give a new push to bring new or
paints in the process of writing music?
New ideas can be realized
with new principles editing - overlay channels
drum machines, etc. Perhaps
even this will not really tracking. Does not exclude the
appearance of 100Hz-music. The latter can
occur after the development of the 1 st
tempo. Anyway, I have
discern 50Hz rays and try to
beat them, in particular, the envelopes ...
What for you is now the most interesting - to improve the
technique, being within a certain style, direction or same
experiment with sound and different approaches to writing songs?
I'm writing quite by accident and not
I can not answer this question.
What unrealized ideas do you have? Maybe you would like to
write the soundtrack for the game, or Deme generally try
anything Why have not tried before, which could
would require new forces and new
use your talent?
Experience in design of games and magazines have
I already have:) What would I like to modify is the most
already written my tracks up
level where they could be
listen. Then they would become public.
What do you think about the co-kompozirovanii? I wonder whether
this you?
Yes, I often had to write together (and full-time and
correspondence). For example, most of the tracks
John'a since 2001 has been written in my presence, and usually
contains one or two of my notes or
a couple of samples:) and my tracks were written in early 2002,
almost all edited Macros'om.
Name the three most interesting
you contemporary authors.
Nik-O, C-Jeff, Miguel
Say a few words to novice musicians.
Friends! Write to the music, it will allow you to better
understand it - and through it the many subtleties of life. If
your music is obtained bad, do not despair. Our music is called
an amateur. About her most of humanity does not know - you will
not find a name Ironman'a or Nik-O, even in the very thick
dictionary and you hear their music, even the most alternative
radio channels. But it makes people tick at least one
commercial, and not less
another elitist. This is because
listen to its people, who can
indeed something in it to find.
Afraid to go where the herd shows.
