- HAPPYMAKER/INDIGENTS

+ handle & group ?

- happymaker/indigents.

+ real name ?

- olaf.

+ give us a small introduction of your-
self! (age, country, personal facts,
sparetime, other interests and so on)

- i was born on the 8.10. in 1973 in
dresden in the x-gdr. i learn in the
3rd year now how to repair radios,
videotape-recorders, tv's and such
things. most of my sparetime i use to
sit in front of my c64, but i also
like to have a talk with my friends
on citizen-band broadcasting.
except that i collect some things
like stamps and of course old demos
and mags.
if i've got the time i read some
books.

+ how did it all start?

- to cut a long story short: back in
1988 i had the first touch with a
computer. in 1989 i bought myself a
kc87. (who ownes such a machine,
should contact me for remembering
the old times!) in the summer 1990 i
bought my c64, a short time later i
added a drive, then a printer and
finally a 2nd discdrive.

+ when did you enter the scene, and in
which groups have ya been ?

- around the end of 1990 i saw some
demos and was very impressed and
interested. later i bought some discs
from a pd-trader, but i knew, that i
would make nobody happy with my old
stuff, so i didn't try to enter the
scene these days.
in 1990/1991 i formed a crew called
gcc with some local friends, but we
didn't release any stuff. that's why
"the indigents" is my first real
group. in 1992 i met acidchild, and he
helped me to come in the real scene.
i asked code 18 for joining and he
accepted. that's all til now.

+ what is your memberstatus and job in
your current group ?

- i'm swapper, coder and gfx'er in
indigents. maybe i try to make some
more things later.

tell us about your faves!

+ favourite food?

- italian.

+ favourite drink(s)?

- coke and beer.

+ favourite music?

- acid and trance.

+ favourite girl(s)?

- no comment, guess who!

+ favourite movie ?

many more.

+ favourite demos ?

- avantgarde/crest, red storm/triad,
wonderland ix/censor design, dutch
breeze/blackmail.

+ favourite mag?

- network and script.

+ and last :
favourite friend(s) in the scene

- acidchild, the syndrome, mr. earth-
quake, code 18, sacoma, animal,
splatterhead, orson, gettoboy and
many more.

+ well that was the faves, and among 'em
was favourite friends.
what about dudes you hate/dislike in
the scene. ?
if you got some please tell us who -
and why you don't like them !

- i haven't got enemies.

+ what are your plans for the future ?
both in the scene and in private !

- in private i want to finish my
apprentice-ship with a good result,
get a job and a girl.
in the scene i hope that we in
indigents will release some demos -
hope that you all will like them.

+ when the c64 dies(hopefully many years
from now !!!!) what will you do then ?
jump to the (l)amiga or pc. ?
or simply quit the whole compy-scene?

- i surely go over to another scene. i
can't say today which machine will
rule then in my castle.

+ please tell me what's a lamer in your
opinion ?

- a lamer is somebody who wants to
secam-fix a game, hehe, only a joke,
i think, a lamer is a person, who says
more than he is able to do, or rips
others work.

+ what do you think about the -
'elite contra lame' thing ?

is there anything we can do about it?

- better say:'elite contra not so good',
cause a lamer is something else than
a newcommer and a guy which haven't
got such good abilities.
the elite-guys should remember
their own at the beginning. the not
so good guys should work to became
better and better.
of course everybody and not only the
elite wants to remove the real
lameness.

+ about your contacts
-------------------

+ do ya have a lot of contacts ?
(how many - name a few.)

- i haven't got so much contacts, there
are around 40. look at the greetings!

+ do you use cheated stamps ?

- i don't use cheated stamps, cause the
danger to get caught by the post
is to high.

+ about demos : do ya like 'em ?
is there too many or too few ?

- i like demos very much, but there
are too few of really good ones like
my favourites are.

+ and the same for mags ?

- often i haven't got the time to read
a mag, but we all need all the mags to
have something for our spreaddiscs.

+ if you had the opportunity to build up
a new group - which persons would you
ask to join in?

- if i form a group, i wouldn't look
at first at their abilities, i want to
have a group together with my friends.

brainstorm!
-----------

+ what do you say when i say :

+ group : 1001.

+ coca cola : cool tv-advertisements.

+ friendship : the most important thing
in the scene, but not
only there.

+ c-64 : if the developer of this little
machine would see the effects,
he would be really surprised.

+ lameness : look to my explanations
above!

+ beers : doppelbock!

+ magazines : news, charts + addies.

+ groupwars : sometimes silly, sometimes
funny to look at.

+ demos : mathematics and design.

+ parties : mostly to far from my home.

+ interviews : some questions you asked
i have really to think
hard about!

+ and last ' skyhigh ' :

- its a good mag in the scene with the
three issues til now. its always
worth the time for reading it.

+ ok we are close to the end now.
