interview with ziutek ■ esi
diver ■ 4d
2006
q>
how are you doing? do you remember the Spectrum and the good
old days Days?
a>
I am fine and of course I remember the Spectrum. in recent
days now lapsed into nostalgia, so that you have found me.
(Note q> meeting occurred on the channel # z80, and the
interview was taken by e-mail through kyv ^ tm)
q>
Tell me, what are you doing now?
a>
married. currently working in the printing company. do
label design, packaging and other things, in the same spirit.
q>
please tell about the group esi. Who does what after care
with Spectrum in the 90s and what they do now?
a>
what can I say ... esi ended its existence on
Platform sam coupe. Sadly, this computer has never been
popular. in an era amiga, sam coupe had no chance.
our latest releases demos were "surprise" and "lyra 3", and
also two games, but I do not remember their names. then
everything turned down. began in college, then work, family,
etc.
q>
game called "craft" and "ice chicken". :) Good game.
whether to support you in contact with others, former members
esi? kaz, mat, muad dib and others?
a>
No, we have long lost touch, and 100 years vidilis. each
plunged into his life and eventually a group of very
disintegrated. though not so long ago I discovered mat'a on
linux'ovskom forum.
q>
have you seen the modern demos on the Spectrum? what can you
say about them?
a>
Yes, saw. chankovye and Multicolor effects are amazing. but not
I think that something similar could be done on the gland at
which we wrote our demos on a simple 48k Spectrum.
q>
Yes, chankovye and Multicolor engines require a lot of memory
and using 2 screens. but look at demos of 3sc - "insane" and
"Highter state", it made great effects and Be 128 KB
memory.
a>
oh yeah! I've seen both, it really is the greatest work.
q>
are you still writing music? listened to a modern Spectrum
musicians?
a>
No, no longer write music. the last thing I did was tracks
by sam coupe. listened to a modern musicians? yeah heard
I think too much techno, but it's a matter of taste, to each
his own. of the musicians I like this guy - mm <m, it does
cool stuff.
q>
what do you say to fans of Spectrum who read this interview?
a>
Well what can I say? I'm surprised that someone still remembers
me our group. recently I've even seen lyra 2 in the charts, so
far it can compete with modern superdemami. hope
fans keep Spectrum scene. maybe I'll even
try to write something in the vortex tracker ii. ;)
q>
We all remember the great melodies in shock and lyra 2, and I
hope that we hear from you something else. good luck and thanks
for interview.
