INTERVIEW #2 IN ADDYBOOK #11
----------------------------------------
hello guys again an interview this time
we have talked with ELECTRIC/extend.
this cool tune you now listining was
done by steel/success.
so wang your joystick left to get some
more informations about electric.
? = scrapper/blz : ! = electric/extend
? hello electric, here now my first
question for you. please give our
readers some facts and info about
yourself and your family!
! ok. in this dimension people call me
tommi musturi, what also have to be
said to be my real name. i got blond
hair and brown eyes and i'm 1,80 meter
tall. anyway, i'm soon 17 years old
(earth time) i'm going next autumn to
the seventh form of secondary school
i living with my parents, my little
sister and my dog in the middle of
finnland (hey! did i mention that in
64th dimension, people call me
electric/extend).
? yes, i think the readers know that i
talk with electric, but now my second
quetion to you. when did you enter the
c64 scene; which groups have you been
in and which group are you in now?
! i think it was something around 1986.
i spend da first 1,5 years playing
games. then we built up our own group
"ziplers" later came "alpha" then i
joined in "genius" with barfly. we
left 'em, b'coz of their lazyness and
rebuilt "alpha". later tbb/traxion
(now tbb/hoaxers) asked if we could
built up a new finnish group together
with traxion's finnish section that
happened on 12.12.1989. the group was
named as "extend", and rest you should
know. anyway, only former members are
barfly and i. we 're (and hopefully
will stay) fully finnish team. we 're
all very good friends novadays
(just came from our meeting, by the
way...). i list here our status, if
somebody wanna cry... extend is:
argon, atte, barfly, dr.acid, electric
knight, mercenary, slade, thor, wide
and troublekeeper (11).
? what's your job in your current group?
! don't ya know? i work as a cook.
naah, just a joke. ofcause i do half
of our gfx, while atte makes the rest.
i've also 'round 30 contacs (i won't
take more!!). i'm also handling our
leading and pr.
? yo, tell us what are your future plans
on the c64 and in real life?
! in c64: i'll stay here till it's death
i'll try to get extend famous and may-
be draw some gfx for games. and of-
cause release at least 10 gfx-demos
more.
in real life: i'll try to pass my ex-
amination with credit. then... i don't
know... maybe i'll buy a spaceship
and fly to next galaxy. naah sounds
to original. i think i'll start to
study something which has conection to
computer's and art. but who knows??
(not me...)
? which group would you join if your
group would die? and why?
! it won't die as long as i'm alive!!
if c64 dies, i'll just buy an amiga or
something even worster and built up
extend.
if it real would die... hmm. i'll
built up a new group. why? b'coz it's
much funnier to start from nothing and
try to get your group to the top of
the hill.
? and now tell us what's/who's your
favourite...
! my favourites are:
demogroup - origo
crackergroup - arcade
coder - bx
musician - guy shavitt
swapper - (suck my dick)
gfx'er - ogami/flt, paladin/cli
mag's - (disk) script, (paper) pirates
music band - paradize lost, danzig,
bad religion, lubricant,
asphyx, deicide
movie - bad taste
girly - jo bench from bolltthrower,
a cow
food - kebab
drink - lapin kulta iii, coke, milk,
? what do you like/dislike in the scene?
! i like: long letters, reading cool
mags (yo rmx!),parties,extend meetings
boozing, new friends, well designed
demos and seeing someone of extend in
charts.
i ha-ate:CRACKS, lame cracks, reading
bad mags, getting a sending without
letter, which post have crunched 'n
levelsqueezed, wars coz of little 'n
stupit reason, guyz who quit the scene
? are you in other scenes too?
! yes, in musicscene. underground death
scene. i and my friend are also making
a finnish death'n'sick-zine called
simply: "sickness". what can i say
about it? eeh, it's much bigger than
c64 scene, but c64 is cooler, so...
next!...
? do you like demos?
! i loo-ove demos. mostly i prefer cool
design and new 'n nice ideas. a demo
can be cool without cool code, but
a demo can't be cool without good de-
sign.
? what think you is the best demo ever
done on c64?
! best demo? noope, i can't just mention
a single one, nowadays almost every
demo is cool. in early days (85-89)
people didnt care so much 'bout design
so you can't compare old'n new demos.
if i have to mention some, i'd say
"dutch breeze" from blackmail,
"elysion" from origo, "legacy ii" from
flash inc. and from the past i remem-
ber some super swap sweden (sss) and
finish gold -demos.
? what kind of hardware do you use?
! i got: an old c64 (it's a bit weird,
coz when it has been switched on for
a hour, colours start to flash like
hell, so drawing isnt so eazy with it)
oc-118n- diskdrive, 1541-diskdrive,
action replay 6, mitsubishi-tv, com-
petition pro-stick, navigator-stick
and over 700 disk's.
? who are your best friends in the c64
scene?
! best friends? ooh. ofcause all my con-
tacts are my friends, but i'll mention
those kewl topaz-beerliners, collision
remix'n'smile/clique, brego/arcade,
scorpie/f4cg, and everyone...
? i guess you don't spend all your
spare-time you have in front of your
c64, so please tell us what you do
besides the c64.
! oh boy, that's not so short story...
i like listining to music and most of
my money i use buying some records.
and as i said i'm also making that
zine and it takes also helluva time.
i also like playing football, badmin-
ton and tennis. i also got my skate-
board and i usually spend at least one
day on our ramp/week. i'm also a role-
player, but we can't play so often. as
some of our group adventures a year,
but i think that scrapper wouldn't
like it. what else? of courz i like of
drawing on paper, a lot! (wait 4 some
new covers in future) that's all.
? have you ever been in trouble with the
authorities?
! no.
? short answer, but the question torture
won't end here. so now my next quest-
ion to you. do you know any perverts?
! yes, many. but as there isn't any
elephants in my closet, i won't tell
you 'bout 'em.
? what do you think about the new kids
on the block?
! oh, you mean "old shits in the clock".
ouh. i love this boys, they are just
so lovely. when i hear that "step by
step", "ooh baby...", my heart start
flapping like in heaven. noope just a
joke, my opinion: just a bunch of
gubba-gabba-gays jumping on da stage"
? do you have a girl-friend?
! no i don't have.
? do you have good habits?
! i don't think so, but... hey i think i
got one: when i start doing something,
i usually do it properly to the end.
if someone ask me to do a logo for his
her group, i'll do it as well, as it's
be for my own group, no matter if the
group is lame or elite, they'll get
the same quality.
? like good habits you also must have
some bad habits. please give us three
of them.
! three bad habits, i bet you meant
threehundred. anyway...
1. i'm very lazy besides the scene
(that's my parent's opinion)
2. i always go to sleep 01.00 and then
wake up 12.00 (when it's school-time i
wake up at 6.30, so that means i sleep
the 1st three lessons).
? if you would win one million english
pounds, what would you do with it?
! i'd give 'em for unicef, hahahaahaa!
what a silly idea. i'd buy a new c64
with jewel-keyboard and then 100000
liters of beer and booze. with da rest
of the money i'd entice some nice
girls. and if there still is something
left, i'd wipe my ass with 'em (hope-
fully no coins.)
? are there any guyz in the scene you
definitely wouldn't invite to your
birthday-party?
! no. i'd invite everyone, except those
blaze-loosers. (joke!) i don't have
any wars with anyone, so everyone is
welcome.
? by the way, when were you born?
! 7th of august in 1975
? if you'd like to give our readers some
final words then please do...
! to you all: thank you all for voting
me and extend, you keep me doing this.
just keep on doing demos, and leave
the games alone.
? i thank you electric for this absolut-
ly funny interview and leave you some
space to do some greets...
! no greets, just big thanx for you
scrapper and all the other blazer's.
i hope i'll get this mag when it's out
bye!!
