Tell me where it all began, and in the end as you guessed
to become a musician;)?
n> I was forced! I do not like, frankly, did not want: ') but,
because I was an obedient child, somewhere in the beginning of
the first class I was go to music school, piano. all sorts of
sketches, gammki that time I played there, will not will teach
and develop my Ukhov Sensors:)
92 I see a neighbor speccy - = 8 - [] (it was pentagon48 with
ay), the most interesting thing I had not realized that the
music sounded of the columns was Spectrum! I thought it was
just playing Tape! after much chit-chatting with a neighbor, I
unscrewed my parents to buy this miracle machine - I
leningrad48 and the only magazine to him!
Some time later, I found that I can in basic'e beep'at
sounds of varying length, in consequence, I have most of the
time spent in this pursuit. Incidentally, since I still keep my
"albums" in which I have played enough with the music, some
classical motifs:)
in 94 of his neighbor appears with a 128-second drive - = 8 -
[] (all the same pentagon), now I already have some idea of
the ay-sound, but still buy the 48-th-th pulse (local
option), without ay-chip, but with a floppy drive! at 95, this
monster has 128kb and muz.protsessor (I confess, I bought this
ym one user who has decided to to sell their spectrum, because
He appeared dendy, here I am convinced him that this percent is
not more than 10 (thousand) rubles, and I'm ready buy it for 15
rubles. " (Actually, he then sold at prices not on p 50-80.
apiece) and he is pleased he gave me his Yamaha;))
in the same year, get acquainted with some spektrumistami, it
was the guys from the unit 5, they I get a lot of new software
and protracker v2.1. we can say that from that moment it all
started.
I now have kay-256/turbo, ym (trophy;), soundrive (flash
ver.), xtr-modem, k.mouse, 5.25 and 3.5 drives, flash color
(buggy), tsv.monitor (cga), as a speaker - mafon

r> you are a member in the group of techno lab - tell me how it
was formed, who it was and who was left? what were your
projects - I was specifically interested krnews.
n> we have in the city at different times there were many
groups, the most famous, this unit 5, but they had already
created the most visible activity, but in fact other than trade
in the market for do nothing. from 95 to 1997 is going great
a bunch of people who could do anything, we are every weekend
going to the "cloud", by the time the unit 5 is no longer
traded, instead they began trading maxx, under his "wing" and
we were going. this period was the peak activity of the whole
nation zx-Krasnodar, vts, our Harder, commissioned from Peter
xtr-modems, we have them hooked - we liked it:) and then our
"network" has already shirits vicom-based modems (for all time
about 15 people) had the first bbs (y smart'a - student
shadowman / unit 5), then the second (y andi), there is a need
to network the newspaper, so went 0-th number krnews, in a
horrible jacket, shorter Everyone liked:) after this event the
most courageous people decide to join the group for a long time
going with the forces, managed to Several new rooms krnews, and
one morning, the code I came to the cloud, I was approached by
Vitek (vts) and handed me a letter [It is still mine:)], which
expressed all the motives of the union, the band's name did not
come up because Vadim (viper) have convinced us that the code
he knows better than anyone but he was a member of the techno
lab, which at that time in fact, apart from him there was no
one (was formerly angel - artist), we liked this name and there
was degeneration of the group, it included: I vts, gradually
moved back almost all the people: alex_naz, kasp, crank, maxx,
andi, cannibal, spectator (I could have someone and forget).
from this time krnews goes under the label "techno lab". oh
yes! one man refused to join us (all quickly guessed who it
was) - gas 13! ;) But he constantly drew for krnews, so for us
he was "our" artist. except krnews while on other projects no
one thought, because no organizera, only viper did some
sistemki (only 4 tl), later already started several games at
once, even once decided to write a demo of "the whole net "- a
silly idea:)
r> than they are now engaged in techno lab?
n> current composition tl significantly reduced, so that we
Now only 2 people:
cannibal - creates a heresy and a lot of draws, makes the album
of my muzakov, and indeed a normal sidekick, loves beer, but in
moderation;)

previously been in the `shadow`?
