ARTY NOONZEN
"I found the good times."
Arty Noonzen - permanent leader and organizer of the legendary
band Digital Reality, which once struck by the whole scene
quality and revolutionary products. It is they who at the time
FT'98 broke all Spectrum Concepts demomeykinge, creating
Forever and a scene showing that deme - is not only a set of
effects, and show where everything is harmoniously connected.
That they of Scenergy released the first magazine of the same
title, completely dedicated to the scene. Arty and
other Membury DR were also among the organizers of the main
party in 1999 and 2000. Now the DR continues its
activities are already on the Internet, working on the project
Scenergy -Undoubtedly the most interesting stsenovym news
resources. Today we offer you to learn more about Arty
Noonzen'om and learn more about the most popular ever
Scene Group Digital Reality.
DMAN> To get started, tell that today, Digital Reality?
ARTY> At present the group as such does not exist. Ie
official collapse, of course, was not, but the fact
existence - already a legend =)
A more or less active "Observer" scenes we were left with
Flying'om. Others more interested in the Spectrum of
nostalgia. We sometimes see each other all along, note
some holidays, or just sit and talk to
we are interested in the topic.
DMAN> What happened to the rest of Membury? Than they are now
do?
ARTY> Who - nothing.
Sauron - sound engineer at the local branch of radio
"Europe +".
Joe - director of network gaming clubs.
Ozazello aka Den (author of Paradise Lost) - works on
local television, specializing in screensavers and
commercials.
Den the Ripper - working in a commercial organization.
Terror - working at home.
Suha - something in the construction business.
Orion - engineer for ventilation
Cyber Strike - the traffic police
Flying and I are working on the web.
That's all I remember at the moment.
DMAN> What to you today, Spectrum, and what was it for you
earlier, during the times when you just started?
ARTY> Today - is a beautiful tale of youth, before he was
big part of my active life, I gave him
a lot of time. It is impossible to deny the
fact that the Speccy scene is not the same, not that.
People for
which was the mainstream in computer technology -
gone - it's a natural process. Now for us the Spectrum
remains an excellent starting base not only in knowledge
Cyber-world, but friends and good company, established
over
years of joint work.
DMAN> You said that the scene is not the same. And what is it
now,
do you think? What has changed?
ARTY> There are no people, no passion, no interest, no
technology, no
opportunities to develop and engage in serious
affairs, because this is, unfortunately, the past.
DMAN> And why there are so few new people, and why people
less and less interested in Spectrum and the scene?
ARTY> I say again, that progress has gone far ahead. Before
Spectrum interested because he was on the crest
technology, and now - it's retro-car, which is interesting
only the "old" fans.
DMAN> Now, if you could go back in time to the moment
base DR, you would like to change something? Why?
ARTY> Actually, nothing. I do not regret anything, because they
understand
that everything must evolve gradually and harmoniously. If
I now return to the past with the prior knowledge that
I have now, I'd be a millionaire =)
DMAN> Millionaire =)! I wonder ...
ARTY> Have knowledge in technologies for 5-10 years ahead - it's
capital good =)
DMAN> In 1998, his FunTop'e demoy Forever you raised
excitement about what should be deme - with animation
or not. You could even say that you broke all the concepts
spektrumistov of demomeykinge, showing that the demo - it
is not
only a set of effects. Perhaps this scandal, and not
it would be if the FT was not Refresh. And as such
sharp contrast between the so-called plot and demoy
demoy-range effects gave rise to disputes. All who do not
too lazy to argue on this subject, but from you we do not
heard. As you yourself look at this problem (?). Although
all passions have subsided, and all this in the past, but
still.
Generally, in your opinion, what demo?
ARTY> demo - it does not work one or two people, it's -
derivative, or a product, if you want a single
organism called a demo group. If you have a common goal,
if it is shared by the majority, if there is a
possibility of its
implementation, then get a good demo, we only
add knowledge, creativity, technology, and most
importantly -
soul.
Naturally, as it is implemented - it is very important (I
mean
referring to the code), but if you need animation for
transfer
something conceptually important, do not fear it
use, the main thing - the idea of a harmonious, more
importantly, to
all the components were as a whole - then turns
show. A show that carries a meaning - is in some
times more effective.
DMAN> We all rushed to the theme of "chunks or rulez
suxx ". What do you yourself think about it?
ARTY> It's all fashion trends. In fact, progress - a thing
progressive: first is a breakthrough, then
file down to the ordinary, standard, followed by
return to the past (the new - is well forgotten old) -
the so-called old school. Someday, perhaps, chunks
will also become old school =) Who knows? ...
DMAN> What do you think it is possible to create more on the
Spectrum
something conceptually new? At one time, chunks produced
just a revolution in demomeykinge. Or has already arrived
limit
all?
ARTY> Nothing is impossible, the question of desire. Although
it is not
such competition, which was in 96-97 years, so it is very
unlikely.
DMAN> No, but there is some competition or confrontation there.
Take, for example, we (PCB) and BW. After all, they have
shown
stage of a new engine - 3D in multicolor. Then MMA'shny
gigaskrin - also a no, and progress! Ie I want to
say that for those who continue to do something, all those
passion, competition, etc. exist in the same way as
to you in 96-97 years. Another question that the resources
Spectrum is not limitless = (
ARTY> Yes, but do not forget - before the Spectrum was almost
the same level with other systems. Consequently
enthusiasm of people was much higher, and competition
much more diverse - we all learned together,
improved and the car moved forward under the name
"Progress" =)
DMAN> Yes, probably, you're right after all! In my opinion, it
remains
very few people who know how to do something, and to do
qualitatively. Now on stage, so if you can call it,
some scumbags who really do not know how, and in all
newspapers straddle "snickering" scenery, but behind
They have no one thing that they could boast.
Frankly, this fact scares me. What remains
after us? =)
ARTY> I think everyone should ask himself this question, and he
himself
at it and respond.
DMAN> What are the demos / intros you like more than lottery
game, of course
same =)
ARTY> This is a fairly complicated issue, because I have become
much
forget. The fact that vskidku: Shit4Brains, Condommed,
Eye Ache 1,2 ... But in general I love a good cracktro,
especially during those times when all inspired spirit
Amiga scene and do similar things at Speccy.
DMAN> What artists, musicians? Who would you have said on the
stage of
active now, people, groups?
ARTY> The fact that I do not (personally) acquainted with those
who are
active, but from those who know it's definitely:
Unbeliever,
4D, PHT, Brain Wave, Placebo, CPU, kpuk crew, Triumph,
POS-WT, Raww Arse, H-PRG, baze, SerzhSoft, elite
Belarusian forces in the face of Psych, PP, B-reeze,
Freeman, Mast
=)
DMAN> Which demah you grew up =) What kind of old demos,
groups, people inspires you?
ARTY> inspiration always, of course, the elite: CBS, DMS, MKHG,
DT, ESI, etc ... About the "old stuff" - can be in any
off the charts, more or less adequate to see the section
all
time favorites - this will be a list, in most
her.
DMAN> How, if not secret?
ARTY> = Emotional)
DMAN> Tell us about your last job JAM. Many call
JAM never-before-trial or re-intro. But the design here
at the height
which clearly covers not quite a high level of effects.
What was it? The last spurt?
ARTY> Yes, it was a last wish to make a really
quality demo, where all would have obliterated the
boundaries between
code, graphics, music and, of course, design. Like
a harmony, but ... Unfortunately, depressed all the
Spectrum limitations in the flight design idea, the head
thought is already in a different direction. We took for
her
a little late, did not have such a great desire, as
to Forever, then another factor - I left a few
days earlier to Peter for the organization of CC,
therefore, not controlled was formulated a final fix,
build, etc. Jam, so excited can she not come out of this,
what I imagined.
Frankly, I'm not happy with this work, it must be
was carefully finish, but, unfortunately, did not present
opportunity.
DMAN> And another question on JAM'u, which is probably still
hurts all =) You're out there dancin '? How and where is
it
done? As I know, there was used some
new compression technology, animation, although perhaps it
question to Flying'u?
ARTY> Yes, I dance, and voice sample - also mine. About
compression - yes, there was applied an interesting
technology, but you
rights, for the details better to turn to Flying'u.
DMAN> What do you think about the past SS001? And if you still
coc toitsya SS002, what are your predictions about him?
ARTY> Over the last two events I've watched, rather,
as a spectator. If the CC000 I was still in state
organizations nizatorov, the latter, I fully and
completely
held the viewer's chair.
Spectrum was not the same as in the olden days, there was
no one
competition, the spirit in which we ate in the early
90's. So
that I was a little touched. This is natural, I'm not sad
to
about this, because found the good times.
DMAN> Tell me how there was a project Scenergy. As far as I
known, at first it was the association of several groups,
then everything turned into a magazine, and now lives in
the form of a site.
ARTY> On Enlight'97, after a personal acquaintance with
Raver'om, we
(I, he and Rom / PGS) have decided to closely reflect the
direction
"Truly stsenovoy journalism" because specifically
demoscene
was not entirely, devoted to any one issue ... In
connection with the
We therefore decided to combine the efforts of our teams
to
the appearance of a certain mechanism for promoting
demoscene.
Engin wrote Flying, entirely, the name
I came up with the rest written articles, led sections
assisted with graphics and music.
Unfortunately, due to our busy everyday
of life and relative bulkiness log (size) was
no more than periodic.
At the moment we are fully moved into our activities
interent. Now the news and articles that appear in
World of Spectrum is published on our website, and
fairly quickly.
DMAN> By the way, whether Scenergy3? If yes, what he will
when?
ARTY> was thought to make the last number, but have "withered"
under a pile of employment.
DMAN> Now, in your opinion, is there anything that the level of
Scenergy? For example, what do you think about kpuk'e or
Adventurer'e?
ARTY> New number Adventyurer was never released, but I Creek
like - is it something from Scenergy. Personally, I'm glad
that appear similar publications, although it is not
relevant.
DMAN> Now comes a very obscure newspaper content =) What
do you think about them? Are there too many?
ARTY> It seems to me that they are already quite low. At least
much less than during our activity.
Relevance to them anymore, because specifics of the scene
changed, in addition to the development of such things as
Internet, the speed of news dissemination is almost
instantaneous. Off-line media - a kind of relic,
that will eventually wither away, unfortunately, together
with
scene.
DMAN> And where did Noonzen in your nickname and what does it
mean?
ARTY> Let it remain a mystery =)
DMAN> Not much, probably annoying for you question, but
Same ... What happened to all your projects: Doom,
Paradise
Lost, Megaball, etc? The air was still flying
uncertainty surrounding this issue, and many still
waiting for the final version. So tell me, finally, once
and for all
that has nothing more to wait!
ARTY> Wait for more than nothing.
DMAN> If all these projects you are not able to bring to the
the end, do not you think you pass them to anyone for
completion? And there are such people, in your opinion?
ARTY> One idea is to make it through the Internet, but this
later.
DMAN> How, if not secret?
ARTY> I do not want to spread so far since not sure what it is
be.
DMAN> OK! All will be waiting! But at least as fast?
ARTY> I have no idea.
DMAN> You have a house still remained alive Cpektrum?
ARTY> Yes, of course. Scorpion 256. Stands in the closet =)
Including I
its a very long time, emulators replace real Spectrum
completely full. But the real Spectrum I leave - he told
me
roads as a memory.
DMAN> And in general, how do you feel about the emulator and use
pisyavyh any programs for the Spectrum on PC / Amiga.
After all, the
Forum ZpiXel'ya now the dispute at the theme editor
Spekovskoy graphics on the PC / Amiga. It turns out that,
like,
only real winners will be in the Spectrum
loser.
ARTY> Spectrum morfiruetsya in virtuality. Perhaps, will
rise, when there will be real valued and the ability to
exhibit
to do something about it, because this is their sex, but
it
question time. But most of all, it all becomes
part of history.
DMAN> Where do you work or study? It has something to do with
computers?
ARTY> I'm working, not studying. I am 25 years old. Work
related to
Internet.
DMAN> And finally, tell me whatever you want (or I suddenly
something
forgot to ask!) Buzz'a readers!
ARTY> If someone was sunk, someone still has the desire -
create, because it is so beautiful something to embody
own. Good luck to you!
DMAN> Thanks for the interview! It was very interesting to talk!
ARTY> I, too, see you there!
