I went to the cinema "Sunrise" somewhere around 11.30 on August
18. Y entry is already crowded bunch of people. Gradually come
yet. Part of the men immediately poured into the noisy crowd on
the porch, others (Like me) stayed on the sidelines and quietly
watched peacefully. So I stood in a corner and began to catch
the familiar face. This could go on forever, because I did
a person did not know:). Otlavlivanie persons badges for
nothing too avail. One person (Organism / Eye-Q) I catch myself
and we talked a little on the topic / IC.
By 12.00, I felt that a little drop out of the picture, and
slowly moved inside the building.
After rising for a second (or more precisely, the Bastard)
floor, I saw door, near which were two round tables on which lay
schedule of the festival, badges and stickers from the "General"
sponsor - "Hacker".
Posozertsav these things mess, I went inside, while the benefit
allowed without tickets. Inside were the hall (big enough) and
white screen (not too small). After going round the hall on the
perimeter, I stumbled upon in the corner on two computers
(Kay-1024), with one of them sat suspiciously familiar person.
It turned out to Sair00s, which poking around in the source
code demos. At this time Sairoos called Paracels'a, and I
followed where he sat. Later I moved to that direction and
found a D-Man'a and Paracels'a, who peacefully interviewed
Pheel'om. Acquainted with this trio (brothers Kalinins I knew
only through correspondence, and she has just begun:) and
sfotkav them to memory, I took a seat near the Dee Mans and
went cool off the street. There are several people on
pootlavlival badges and got to know them.
Returning to the hall, I bought myself beydzhik for 100 rubles,
prihvatiziroval sheets for a vote and a pen. As I
new people and do not know anybody, I stuck to Placebo.

Somewhere around an hour of the day is finally on the scene
painted Festival organizers, who have long and hard to explain
how vote, what has changed in the schedule, etc., from what I
understand, that night, the components will not, and we were
all thrown out ... And since I do not local, and to my
temporary accommodation during this time train there, I felt
the joy of life:). After the scene was visited Representatives
of "Hacker", Nemo, some more People, which is also something
talked about.
In the end, came on stage Unbeliever, and started the festival
with music compo. For a start, we were given a preview track
MMCM'a. Sound was cool, but pretty unusual (I'm used to their
system, which smooths out the sound is not bad:). It was pretty
interesting to see how some people immediately got up and left
the room. Then another. And yet. Amizhniki, I thought:). I
honestly listened to 21 tracks. What can I say about Spectrum
music? Not bad. Some of the tracks were really awesome, but it
was also sucks. However, I did not even guessing about who
take first place, but simply put in a sheet as I
liked it.
After you have gfx compo, 512b intro, 4k intro ...
Graphics: start with the fact that the work was 49 ... Over some
laughing, some works just yelled and whistled with delight.
Indeed, the level of work was high. There were, of course, work
are unclear as were preselekt. Although "Decl" was
height:). Another remembered a screen like "Bjork". As later
it turned out it was the work of Diver'a. Hall just howled when
They stared at the screen with such a face! And, of course,
were at the height of Paracels'a, Pheel'a, Gas'a and ZSV.
512b intro: here I do not remember almost anything. Either way
were poor, whether in the 512 bytes can not just do stuff
interesting.
4k intro: We started with a display component GOA4k. After her
very first work aroused indignation. But by the end people
warmed up again, yeah and intro came with a soundtrack:). The
content of one of intro led some to ask "the moral and ethical
Comrade considerations. MMA, however, showed the intro to the
end. Then there were minor difficulties with the launch of the
latest intro. When it started, it appeared that not in vain
lost time. I remember after the components to break stumbled on
a happy JtN'a of 4D, which inquired whether he will give the
first place, for the latest intro ... However, I myself would
appreciate it though and not at first, but in second place.
Yes, even between two components on the scene jumped out a girl
and clumsy Russian explained that she and sister Random'a now
will be given diplomas with CC'00. Further, it is also
beginning to dictate Winners of last year's demopati than
aroused a storm discontent in the audience, since its a Russian
personal it was impossible to understand:).
And it was game-compo. Three works, plus one out of the
competition. First I liked (out of three competition) more than
anyone else. Although up to PTs'shnogo original it away.
Arcanoid author too long plagued with a view to demonstrate
artificial intelligence, forgetting that the components of
something - a game:). Farspace - unpretentious such GABA
monotonous hurt. Well, Dizzy. I generally like Dizzy-shaped
game, so ...
At the end of all these components Spectrum came on stage MMA
and offered a choice of "3 demos now, or 4 demos a bit later,"
because Placebo are about to finish his creation. People
unanimously chose four demos later. And as time has
was decided to hold a PC / Amiga Multichannel music compo, which
divided into Alternative and Traditional.
I skorenko dumped on the street, where, hang out a bit, saw
Comrade suitable. Mednonogova, which is immediately surrounded
by a crowd people. All questions addressed Mednonogovu, he
replied, coded "I stayed alive." It later emerged that this
genius koderskoy thought hit by a bus ... Unhappy bus got on
According Mednonogova, deep dents, while he himself
injured in the accident escaped with slight shock and dirty
trousers.
All this time (ie from the beginning of the festival, and even
before him, and for most Multichannel music compo) in the
corner sat angry:) Sair00s and tried riveted anything
demopodobnoe, occasionally distracting to swallow anything
liquid or smoke. Around him on the breaks there was a group of
support including: Pheel, Screamer, Paracels, D-Man, and
Stanly. A wandering around Elf / CPU and Cusick / Sinclair Club
hoping to take someone's interview. Work Sairoos'a moved to the
end ...
But that's over multichannel music compo, and the scene again
left Unbeliever, asking him whether people 4 demo now, or 5
demo tomorrow, they say "Extreme overnight to make a demo:).
Thus demokompo was postponed to 11.00 on August 19, and the
first day / IC declared closed.

The problem with non-resident overnight just decided: the night
can be held in the hall and in the morning, when the hall will
be occupied by certain sects believers:), a little hang out on
the street.
Many people stayed the night in the hall. Wandered around,
drank beer communicate. Screamer podfiksil their demo. At the
component car sat at the work of Eye-Q, intending "to finish"
DeMouy. On your favorite (already) place sat a maniac Sair00s,
hoping to squeeze out the source of available time is the
maximum possible, which was very difficult because Kay vis
shamelessly for any reason, and without reason, too. And since
the 3.5 "floppy drive was one on Kae, for which sat Sairoos,
then people copied GABA on nearby comp - also Kay'e, who drive
to work only after contact with a sledgehammer. Those who have
not brought with them pyatidyuymovok violently break off. And
I'm with them.
Nearby someone was playing the piano than brutally took out all
accumulated in the corner near Sairoos'a. Then it is a disgrace
stopped and the silence of the night began to interrupt Megus
with a guitar but it was not so badly:).
On the stage sat someone terribly drunk and Unbeliever (also
not the top sobriety). And the MMA for a long time that
something rubbed poor kid, finished his tirade by saying:
"Here's a scene here and sit on the it "(Do not quote !:)))
Somewhere about three o'clock in the night, when most of the
remaining had dreams, I decided, too little sleep, has found a
free spot get comfortable and wake up at 5-something. A little
later ofonarevshy of happiness Sairoos, wandering in circles,
went to earned rest after many hours of realtime-coding. On
freed Kay'e I rewrote his second chart, with a floppy disk
which gave the D-Man.
And then we were kicked out of the hall into the street. It was
already quite light, and we are realizing a small gruppochku
(D-Man, Paracels, Sairoos, Pheel and I) went to the nearest
yard, to the bench. Here here I want to terminate your account
and warmly thank Sairoos'a, has kindly provided me his sweater,
because at such holodryge I would not last long. THANK YOU,
SAIR00S!
After sitting for a bit, we decided to go in search of something
edible, and preferably hot. But everything was closed,
therefore, all our searches have become a jaunt to Finland
Bay have joined with us Screamer'om, Stingrey'em
and someone else (can not remember: (). On the way from us
disconnected Paracels and Pheel, reasonably have decided that
we will sooner or later equally true:).
We got to the bridge over a canal (about five meters in
width), where Sairoos saw ducks and decided to catch one on your
breakfast:). The tricks he pulled out of the bag stub loaf
and began to throw pieces thereof into the water, attracting
the attention of stupid birds. In the end he succeeded, but
then he realized that a duck with the bridge - lesson, useless
for their can not:). As a result, he began to throw pieces of
stick in the hope kill one of them the bird, but she deftly
dodges, eating these shells. When the bird is sated, and swam
away, Sairoos made one last attempt, after running the
remainder of the stick. But the mischievous bird is not even
turned around:).
We slowly moved back to the cinema. There I left
his companions and went to the shop opened Zatar
something to eat. Having been hangouts everywhere, anywhere.
Time is slowly approaching the top of the opening ...
But before that happened and the battle between Sairoos'om
Vivid'om by about how the withdrawal effects on the screen and
features realize realtime effects in multicolor. In the end,
all agreed First look at demos of the Titans demomeykinga, and
then decide which is better - chunks or multicolor.

Finally, by 12 o'clock fellow believers to vacate the premises
and we took their places.
And it's a demo component.
The first showed a demo of the Volga Soft. People immediately
dragged from long-forgotten vector graphics, but in the end saw
the demos anime led again to inquire about a Unbeliever'a
moral and ethical considerations.
Then followed by deme Screamer'a: "jaundice". Not a bad deme,
albeit a small one. And yet the people did not understand
Chinese (or in Japanese?).
The third was a deme of Eye-Q. All kind deme has made it clear
that it did not "finish" at night, and continued to barely begun
work. Sorry, Organism, but it's not DeMouy pulls.
Fourth deme - from Placebo. It showed in the turbo mode and
warned that this is NOT the final version of the demos.
Nevertheless, it was just awesome. Graphics Paracels'a, lots of
effects steep Mouzon. And although the order of chunks really
bored (Sair00s: I myself bored with chunks, but there is simply
no alternative.) deme well deserved first place.
Well, finally, deme "Stellar Contour" from BrainWave. Too
rulnaya deme. Design of a again. Graphics Pheel'a - just super!
Cool soundtrack. So the passions pledged to achieve
few hundred kilovolts.
However, after the trial components on the porch and Vivid
Sairoos continued dispute, which resulted in a statement
Vivid'a that following DeMouy he would write in chunks and
Sairoos'a statement that he should also be DeMouy write a
chunk:). As for the dispute chunks vs multicolor, the opinion
prevailed D-Man'a as saying that is both good only for its
effects, and in order and There are designers to decide what
effect a display. A standing beside him Unbeliever and shouted
that "deme of BrainWave sucks!" (Even at home, when we all
structure Stall reviewed demos, we decided that the 3D shapes
in multicolor not look absolutely way, as well as fractals in a
chunk, so: D-Man - you right!).
And at this time there were components in the PC / Amiga.
However, since reporting written for spektrumistov, then I'll
just write about Spectrum components. People hanging out,
someone voted for PC / Amiga, all waiting for Wild compo, which
is still demonstrated, albeit without a vote. During the PC /
Amiga compo Justinas results of the vote counted, and went
looking for MMA Soundliner'a seems to also bring him to count.
At this time, people have successfully copied the components
work well "Stolen" by the organizers.
But here's all the work displayed, diplomas PC / Amiga, comes
Justinas and hands Unbeliever'u paper with the results of demo,
4k intro and graphics. Handed diplomas. Since the light is
somehow not included, the presentation took place under the
spotlight and strobe. This, of course, greatly affected the
quality of Photos: (.
But certificates issued, and all begin to diverge. I moved to
output along with Placebo, hoping with them by metro
and on the station. But they are waiting for MMA. These
approaches Wlodek Black and requests Paracels'a give him
details of their demos, saying that he "Need only Placebo". And
my time is running out, so I stick to the CPU, and with them
going to the station, where we say goodbye and I leaving in
Kolpino because my stay is not Pervouralsk completed.
But that's another story ...
C ∙ C ∙ ∙ D ∙ e ∙ m ∙ o ∙ p ∙ a ∙ r ∙ t ∙ y ∙
∙ outro
So, summarizing demopati Chaos Constructions 2001, I
say that the main aim of the event - contact - has been
achieved. I have nothing to compare this festival, but with my
point of view, it was a success. The organization was at a
decent level. As for cons organizations - have been
significantly affected the organization of the counting of
votes, ie on the ground were counted votes are not all the
components. Neponyatki system voting also occurred. Promised
because poballnuyu system vote, but it turned out the charts
for five seats on the component.
In general, I'm terribly pleased TSTS'1 and I hatched plans to
drive on demopati next year, which is what you, dear reader, I
wish.
In conclusion, I want to say that because I had not planned to
write detailed report, and passed a long time, here I could
prevent some errors. And please excuse me if this is
happened.
Bye.
