-
- Here we present an interview with the
- man behind the ±13Q.E.D.× demo from
- TALENT. The demo was given an fourth
- place at demo-comp. at the TG'93.
-
- This interview, a crazy one really,
- was done by BCR/Stone Arts on the
- 8.june 1993.
-
- ±12BCR:×Ok, could you please introduce
- yourself and your group?
-
- ±12STG:×Very original BCR!! Well, I am
- 19 years old, and I'm one of the
- founders of TALENT. (It was Jukebox
- and I who started this group, some
- years ago). I am also a coder , and
- I have been coding for 3 1/2 years
- now.
-
- ±12BCR:×Right. There's probably some
- guys out there who haven't heard so
- much about Talent. Could you tell us
- a bit about the group?
-
- ±12STG:×Do you really think so???? Hmm,
- strange, but if there really are
- people out there that didn't notice
- that we're the only group that have
- gotten an incredible 12.9% in ±13RAW×
- (thanks COCY), then maybe I should
- have a little history lesson for you.
-
- Well, it started some years ago. In
- 1991 actually. During the sommer
- vacation Jukebox and I left ±13SHADE×
- (have anyone heard of Shade???),and
- we decided to found a new group,
- which we called Talent. Anyway, we
- released a shitty demo,which was
- slaughtered in RAW, but I won 50
- disks in the demo competition in
- ±13ARENDAL×, so I was happy anyway
- (pretty good payment for such a lame
- demo!)
-
- After that we've become a bigger
- group (we were just 4 in the
- beginning), and we've released some
- intros now and then. During 1992 we
- worked on a little trackmo, which is
- now released under the name of Q.E.D.
- (Hi,Andromeda). ±13 Q.E.D.× was by the
- way, our contribution to the demo
- competition at the ±13GATHERING 93×.
-
- ±12BCR:×Well, can you reveal some of the
- plans ±13TALENT× has for the future,
- future releases etc.?
-
- ±12STG:±13NECROLOGIC/TLN× is working on a
- musicdisk, called Premiere. It will
- contain music from all our musicians,
- and the graphics are all drawm by
- ±13(kjott)MACE×. Necro is probably going
- to compete in the intro competition
- in ±13KRISTIANSAND×. The only problem is
- that there is no competition there,
- but ±13NECRO× don't care (he can compete
- with himself),and remember he IS
- necrofil (and he is not a pervert, he
- just look like one (he,he))!!
-
- Apart from that, I am working on a
- tiny-mini-demo-intro,which will
- hopefully be released sometime
- between 30. july and 1. august (Who
- said anything about ±13RENDEVOUZ 93?×)
-
- ±12BCR:×Could you tell us the amount of
- members in ±13TALENT×, and if you are
- going to grow into an even bigger
- group?
-
- ±12STG:×We're 16 members at the time
- being, but I really don't know if
- we're going to grow. If any ±13TALENTED×
- people contact us, there is always
- room for more. (You can't have
- enough TALENT, ehh!?!)
-
- ±12BCR:×How is your group build up? I'm
- thinking about the amount of coders,
- graphicians, musicians, etc.. What
- do you think is the most important
- thing to have in a good group?
-
- ±12STG:×Talent consists of:
- ±1333%× coders
- ±1333%× musicians
- ±1333%× graphicians
- ±131%× swappers
-
- 3.5% of the members are necrofils
- (Who said i wasn't a lier???)
-
- I think that friendship is the most
- important thing to have in a group.
-
- ±12BCR:×Hmmm.... What do you think of
- the scene here in ±13NORWAY× today?
-
- ±12STG:×I hate it!!!!! No, seriously it
- is quite nice. Most of the people
- are nice and there are a lot of good
- groups. But I really don't think it
- is very much different from the scene
- elsewhere in ±13EUROPE× (except for
- SPAIN, ITALY, GREECE, GERMANY and all
- the other contries below DENMARK).
-
- ±12BCR:×You say there are a numerous of
- good groups here, could you tell the
- rest of the world some of your fave
- groups, coders, graphicians,
- musicians, demos etc.....
-
- ±12STG:×I really don't have any favourite
- groups, coders etc. I mean, they all
- have their different style, and it is
- different to compare. But I can say
- that ANDROMEDA has a very good soccer
- team.
-
- ±12BCR:±13TALENT× also won the soccer compo.
- at the gathering'93, how did you
- manage this? Years of hard training,
- I bet??
-
- ±12STG:×We have been training ever since
- 1991, and I must admit that we have
- stolen some of the ideas that ±13DRILLO×
- use. For example we use a 9-0-1 (in
- Lillestrom we had to convert it to
- 4-0-1,of course) system, which means
- that everyone is helping the goal
- keeper, while one lonely guy tries to
- get a goal or two. This way the
- matches normaly end 0-0, and we have
- the chance to win the penalty compo.
- Quite easy really, it is much the
- same system as ±13ARGETINA× (remember
- Maradonna?) used some years ago in VM
- in ITALY (or wherever it was).
-
- Well, seriously we needed a helping
- hand (thanks HEIN og mannen med bla
- bukser).And in the final, we won 5-2
- over ANDROMEDA. I don't know how the
- guys (OLP, MACE, MR. Z, HEIN og
- blabukse mannen), managed that as I
- were eating chicken at that time (by
- the way it was chicken chop suey, and
- it was like heaven compared to the 5
- pizzas we ate after the fotball
- compo).
