MUSIC IN THE LIFE geek.
(C) Yuri Buravtsov
Computers have long since become part of our
life, and, apparently, will go all
farther and farther, capturing all of the broader community,
occupying a profession all smaller and smaller, forcing people
to once again make sure that the computers can all ... And
where there were several people first computer, for which the
villages one person. Where work has been linked
risk, first computer, and it was safer. Where was the thunder
of hundreds pishushih machines are now distributed soft
poschelkivaniya keyboard of one computer and the rustle of
crawling out of a laser printer paper. Where there was a hard
rehearsal concert or studio work
record now sits a man, and before
face from him - the screen with notes ...
Yes, this is good or bad, computers
have made us men their slaves, always something to writing,
decorating my favorite computer ever new peripheral devices,
developing for the production of new and emerging technologies,
thereby expediting the complete, total computerization of
mankind.
Despite the fact that the computer exists
in the usual understanding of the comparatively
long, some areas related to
creative person, have a new color. For example, graphics.
Graphed engaged even some monsters kompteroproizvoditeli,
achieving in this area huge success. Even television is now
unthinkable without the intervention of a computer.
But apart from the visual perception of the world, nature has
endowed man as, indeed, and all other living beings, hearing -
is not less important than vision capability. After all, the
best way communication between people is sound, but the easiest
way to not understand a word, and music.
That is why the music in the computer industry attention has
been paid no less than the schedule. Now zvukosintezatornye
complex system replaced the unpretentious device, capable of
reproducing the most complex pieces of music that has been read
from a floppy disk, hard drive or CD-player ... By the way,
CD-player - it is also reach the computer, though he appeared
as an external computer memory several later than the "new
player new plates.
From all of humanity on Earth is unlikely to
there would be a man, remain indifferent to the music.
Spektrumisty - is no exception. And I once had an idea: Do not
hold me to a survey among spektrumistov on the theme "Music in
human life? I asked the opinion of several people on this
about, and these people have supported my idea.
So I decided to take the case, the benefit,
networking opportunities with people to
This was enough.
From the outset it was decided: to do a survey on the
computer completely - from drawing up the questionnaire-"fish"
to get a quick report with charts. The program was written
During the collection of questionnaires, the very same poll was
held in April-May until the twelfth.
Poll meant finding a computer "melomania" and everyday,
everyday (unless, of course, does not take into account
that for some people the daily music became a computer). The
questionnaire was composed sootvetstvyuschim way.
The survey was a capacity not only to members
Network SpbZxNet, but at some points
FidoNet, reading from geytuemye SpbZxNet
Echo Conference.
The survey was conducted anonymously, but with the
possibility of respondent statements. The statistical program
was the file requests and suggestions, which the respondents
could leave at the end of the letter. Only only slightly, I
stepped away from anonymity: program was adopted in the list
survey participation to avoid duplicate profiles from one
person. True, one file only I could see ... :)
And yet another departure from complete anonymity. Judging by
the results of the survey, it is easy to guess about
participation in a survey of some individuals, but individuals
can be identified by their answers. This is due primarily to
that participated in the survey are very
little people - more precisely, 16, at the
time amounted to 14.95% of the total number of network members
SpbZxNet, from which completed questionnaires and received. It
was even desire to stop work on the statistical program because
of such low activity of people. Still feeling the need to begun
to bring the matter to an end and a sense of duty to the
respondents made yet write a detailed report on a poll.
So, what gave the poll?
Chart of the respondents ages:
Percentage-19% 19%
Noe
ratio 12% 12% 12%
among the 6% 6% 6% 6%
GOVERNMENTAL votes
Age 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 36
The average age of respondents - 20 years
Four months ...
As seen from this diagram, the age at
our grid sufficiently different, the maximum age of respondents
was 36 years old, minimum - 16. Other ages are not listed on
the reason for not participating in the survey of persons with
those ages.
Next. What is our busy spektrumisty?
almost 68.8% - study;
31.3% - working
6,3% of them - combining work with study,
6,3% without any definite occupation.
How many respondents spektrumistov is
network SpbZxNet?
Only one answer: 100%.
And how respondents are distributed by district
city?
Nevsky - 18,8%
Vyborg - 12,5%
Kirov - 12,5%
Kolpinsky - 12,5%
Spa - 12,5%
Petrograd - 12,5%
Pushkinskaya - 6,3%
Frunze - 6,3%
Central - 6,3%
Maximum number of spektrumistov
found in the Nevsky district. In other areas of St. Petersburg,
other than those listed, spektrumisty not participate in the
survey.
What computers use the persons interviewed?
Of course, this Scorpion ZS-256. It is used exactly 75%.
In the remaining cases are:
Sinclair-Profi - 6,3%
TURBO 2 + - 6,3%
ZS-based ATM 512 + - 6,3%
ZX-Pectrum-128 - 6,3%
that is to say equally.
How spektrumistov have external music device?
AY 8910 (12) - 100%
Covox - 43,8%
General Sound - 25%
Thus it follows that the musical
coprocessor for a long time is not something
such as inaccessible, such as, General Sound, growth is
constrained by the number of holders of its price. Covox same
in mainly available to people who are able to more or less
contact with a soldering iron, although not many who can and
which can make it yourself.
Also during the survey found that absolute pitch have 50% of
respondents. From these, only 12.5% have a musical education,
which amounts to 6,3% of the total number of respondents.
Writers same music Spectrum distributed as follows:
having perfect pitch - 25%
do not have perfect pitch - 18,8%
general attitude of the writers - 43,8%
including music. formation - 0%
Encouraged by the fact that the music they write more
Yet those who may feel it to end, allowing you to achieve
sometimes excellent results. It is a pity, however, that
do not write music professionals ...
However, one troubling detail. Case
that, after all, absolute pitch is slightly different from the
simple musical hearing. Absolute pitch - it is very rare
phenomenon, in fact, some such as
percentage of the deaf with respect to other people ...
What kind of music editors prefer
other creative people for his writing work?
Pro Tracker - 37,5%
Digital Studio - 12,5%
Sample Tracker - 6,3%
Sound Tracker - 6,3%
Thus, the most popular music editor for the law can be
considered Pro Tracker, and the once "monopolistic" of its kind
Sound Tracker is gradually disappearing from the scene.
Surprising that the number of respondents are not logged users
ASC Sound Master ...
On other platforms, ie not on the Spectrum, write music only
6,3% of the respondents.
The question of "how to dispose of written
music, "the writers responded as follows:
For Sale - 25%
Deal - 25%
in the program - 12.5%
saving up - 12,5%
otherwise the application - 25%
To the question "How many of the respondents is
various musical groups, combinations of groups, orchestras,
choirs and other ensembles? results gave the following data:
consist of - 12,5%
of them on the ZX write music - 100%
of them have perfect pitch - 100%
Judging by this picture, the conclusion is: in
Peter the highest quality
bands, where there are guys
who can write music on a computer, and do it with knowledge of
the business.
We now turn to the favorites of those surveyed.
The question "What game on Speccy, music
from which you are most like "the situation is as follows:
Dizzy - 12,5%
UFO-II - 12,5%
Star Heritage - 12,5%
No such - 25%
This trio of game-record holders. With other
games, things are similar.
But what about the demonstration programs:
Action - 18,8%
Rave Time Extasy - 18,8%
Vibrations - 12,5%
No such - 25%
Indifference of some respondents to a game
and demam, as seen from the above results, the same way.
What kind of music radio stations prefer to listen to the
interviewees:
Radiostation Percent REGARDING.
Maximum of 62,5%
Baltika 12,5%
Modern 12,5%
Record 12.5%
Rocks 12.5
Europe + 6,3%
Katyusha 6,3%
Nostalgie 6.3%
Radio-1 Petrograd 6,3%
Russian 6,3%
Elda-Radio 6.3%
just listen to the radio - 93,6%
have one station - 53,3%
two stations - 20%
three stations - 13,3%
do not listen to the radio - 6.3%
From the diagram it can be assumed that
Radio Two Capitals "- is the best example
successful cooperation between St. Petersburg and
Moscow.
From what the media mostly spektrumisty listen to records?
magnetic tape - 87,5%
CD-ROM - 6,3%
do not listen to records - 6,3%
Who can afford to listen to the recording
CD-ROM?
work - 0%
Students - 100%
combine - 0%
without occupation - 0%
This does not mean that all students without exception are
listening CDs, just surveyed a man alone ...
Among the respondents, spektrumistov different
music hangouts like to visit 25% of
them attend:
Disco - 75%
nightclubs - 50%
concert halls - 50%
Dance floors and dance halls of
interviewed no one attends.
This bunch of different answers given
analysis of responses to the question "What is the musical
direction you most close? ". And, though at the beginning of
the calculation was made One of a certain style, answers, as,
indeed, in previous cases, are rather extensive.
Mus. style Percentage
Classics 31,3%
Jazz 18,8%
Rock 'n Roll 43,8%
Rock 31,3%
Pop 43,8%
People without a certain musical
style among the respondents was not there.
Obviously, the music still plays an important role in the life
spektrumista ...
We now turn to the musical performers.
From domestic singers interviewed prefer to listen to the
following three leading female singers:
Larisa Dolina - 18,8%
Lika - 12,5%
Tatiana Bulanova - 6,3%
did not like it - 50%
It is a pity that half of those surveyed do not pay attention
to our singers.
And what is the situation with the singers?
Yuriy Shevchuk - 12,5%
Valery Syutkin - 6,3%
Sergey Chigrakov - 6,3%
no not like it - 31,3%
That's where it becomes interesting. At this
point in the network consisted of only one person
male. What is so different
indifference to the singer from indifference to singers as
well? ..
And that's what the network thinks about music
teams:
DDT - 25%
Movies - 12,5%
Time Machine - 12,5%
No not like it - 12,5%
But indifference to the groups very little ...
What's going on with us from foreign artists?
Now - about the artist:
Bjork - 18,8%
Annie Lenox - 12,5%
Whitney Houston - 6.3%
did not like it - 56,3%
Now look at the men's stars:
Scooter - 12,5%
Elton John - 6,3%
Freddie Mercury - 6,3%
no not like it - 56,3%
The most interesting thing in this part of the report -
is that some respondents believed
Scooter singer, while at the
towards a project called. However,
no matter what the name of the singer, most importantly,
that everyone understands.
But what about the foreign
Groups:
Prodigy - 18,8%
Queen - 12,5%
Scorpions - 6,3%
did not like it - 12,5%
Comparing the results of a survey among national and foreign
stars, easily come to the conclusion that "our" still listen to
more.
And the report concludes the opinion of respondents about
the need for such a survey
later:
necessary - 87,5%
of them who write music - 85.7%
is not necessary - 12,5%
Well, a new poll to be ...
We now consider the proposals and suggestions
respondents.
go
Hi I !!!!!!!?!!!
stop
Well, hello, hello ... :)
go
Another survey is possible and necessary, but
different topics.
stop
Agreed. I will develop a new questionnaire to different
themes.
go
incidentally, about the 12th question of the disposal of his
work: if this music works, then, of course, all that I'm there
naotmechal - poskipat.
stop
This is about the musical works and ask questions. Why do I
need a survey to theme of "Music ..." asking about coding?
Obviously, this is a topic of one of the closest
surveys.
go
IMHO, the question is a little more.
As for dashes of Foreign Artists: I listen to them on the radio
(or where no getting around it:) but I do not like songs that
do not understand the words. You never know what they are there
sing? :) So I have no FAVORITE foreign singers, although quite
a lot songs I like.
stop
Granted, it's worth more. Just do something,
This poll is meant to be the debut,
what-if ... Therefore, the questions were not so
much. Another problem is different: how
higher will be the activity of the respondents in these times?
I hope that after the publication of this report, people showed
great interest in statistical research.
I agree about the songs. This issue will be taken into
account in the next poll.
go
By the way, absolute pitch is
the following: you are asked to Play voice a note, and you play
its frequency, which corresponds to a given note on, so to
speak, Guest.
stop
Not exactly. It would be nice, of course, that
Would you knew in advance the frequency of each note, and
better yet - figured. But I know people who do not know a
single note, and the Guitar plays the songs sound in the sound.
In this case, they may not even be observed
hint of a singing voice.
go
If you already sent, we apologize, I do not remember.
stop
Me something - what? I just finish a report,
everyone else is doing the program STATIST
v2.36 ...
So, when will best carry out survey on the topic "Music in
the life of a member of the network? I think that this is the
most appropriate done after the festival ENLIGHT-97.
