INTERVIEW WITH TEDRIC / THE SILENTS

Interview with Tedric / The Silents

Done by James / Balance

Tedric was the former of the well-known
group   Paradise.    But  now  he's  in
Silents, a  group  which  in  the  past
months  have  been  on retreat.  Tedric
will  also  make some comments on this,
so read on.

(BK = James / Balance)

BK:   Hi  Rolf!   How about introducing
yourself to the readers?

TEDRIC:  Hello ladies and gentlemen!  I
am Tedric of THE SILENTS, at the moment
18 years old and still visiting school.
My  scene  job used to be coding but as
I'm  working on a game I didn't release
anyting   for  a  long  time.   Besides
coding  I  do  some  swapping, so if ya
wanna contact me see below for my addy.

BK:    Tell   us   your  scene  history
(previous groups, handles, etc...).

TEDRIC:    My   scene-life  began  with
founding  the  group  Paradise in which
I've been until May 1993, when I joined
THE  SILENTS.   My  handle  was  always
TEDRIC and will probably ever be.

BK:   Did you start on the Amiga or did
you own another computer before?

TEDRIC:    My  first  computer  was  an
Amstrad CPC but I did nothing but games
'n'  basic-programming.  I got my first
contact to scene when I bought my Amiga
in 1989.

BK: What equipment do you use?

TEDRIC:   I use an A500, 1 meg chipmem,
50MB   harddisk,   2nd   drive,  Action
Replay,   lame   2400   modem,  Citizen
printer a.s.o.

BK:   How  much  time  do  you  use for
coding every day?

TEDRIC:  Depends on how motivated I am.
If  I  enjoy  coding  on something it's
possible that I spend the whole day and
night  in  front  of my Amiga but there
are  also  days  (even  weeks!) where I
dont even switch it on.  (strange for a
coder, isn't it?)

BK:   How  about  telling  us something
about The Silents?

TEDRIC:   To be honest I'm a little bit
upset  about  the  bad organisation and
the  fact that this group is going down
at   the  moment.   Unfortunately  this
leeds  to  a  lack  of motivation to do
something  for  this group and a lot of
talented members left TSL therefore.

BK:   Have  you  ever tried to paint or
compose?

TEDRIC:   In  the  very  first  days of
Paradise  I did quite a lot of GFX, but
this  stopped when we got some talented
graphicians in our group.


Please tell us your favourite...

 Coder: The Spy/CRC, Hannibal/Lemon.
 Graphician: RA/Sanity
 Musician: Bass/No Soul
 Demo: Anarchy 3D Demo II
 Group: Melon Dezign

BK: Who do you hate most in the scene?

TEDRIC:  As I don't want to mention any
names   I'll   try   to   say  it  more
generally:
- People who can't behave on parties
- People who are self-proud and egoistic

BK:    Please   comment  the  following
words...

Ankh:   I  don't  like  Kefrens  at all
(Laxity's coding suxx!) Sorry

A1200:   Nice  machine, but why didn't
they improve the blitter'n'copper too?
Balance:   actually  doing  one of the
best   message-n-newz-mag.    (Message?
-BK) (Yes, messages?!!!? -ed.)
Compatibility:  It's difficuilt to code
compatible if you only own 1 Amiga.
Techno:   I  love it if it's agressive,
but please stay away from Pop-techno.
When  words aren't enough?:  Used to be
the  best  group  in  scene, nowadays a
shadow  of  itself.   Maybe if we would
have  a  better  organisation  we could
raise again.

BK:  How much time do you use with your
'girlie', Amiga, every day?

TEDRIC:  Didn't we have such a question
already?



BK:   Did we?  Nope, the other question
was how much time do you use for coding
every  day...   ;-) Anyway, do you have
got other interests than the scene?

TEDRIC:   Yep, I do some soaring on the
weekends  and  I sometimes even like to
go to school.

BK:   Do you have got a girlfriend?  If
yes, then describe her to us.

TEDRIC:Nope,    but   if   someone   is
interrested  in me send a picture and a
nice letter:
Rolf Alber
Reussensteinweg 10
73235 Weilheim
Germany

NO FAGGOTS!


(Now THAT has to be the most original
attempt of scoring girls!!!! -ed.)

BK:  Now you can ask some question from
me!

TEDRIC:  Do you feel guilty for loosing
my first interview ????  (I hope so !)

BK:    Nope,   I  actually  did  it  on
purpose!    Hehee...    Okay,   it  was
actually disks fault.  Isn't that right
Wolfie (He loves this nickname!)?
(Yes it was and if anyone should object
to  that,  they  can  come say it to me
face to face!!!  -ed.)

BK:   Please  tell us what kind is your
normal day.

TEDRIC:  I believe It's somehow same as
for everybody.  (?  -BK)

BK: What music do you listen to?

TEDRIC:   I  feel  sorry for people who
only  listen to one form of music, so I
try  to  listen  to all styles of music
that  reach  my ears.  Of course I also
have   some   preferences   that   are:
Hardcore   Rap   (Icecube,   N.W.A...),
Hardcore  Techno  and Heavy Metal (Iron
Maiden, Sepultura)

BK:   Ok,  it's  almost over now...  It
wasn't so terrible or was it?

TEDRIC:    As   I  did  this  interview
already  once  before I got used to it.
(Don't loose it again !!!!!!)

BK:   We  can  only  hope  that I don't
loose this again...  Well, you have now
got  your  opportunity  to  write  some
lines of your own will ;-)

TEDRIC:   First  of all thank YOU (Me?!
-BK)  for  giving me the opportunity of
telling  my  points of view.  If any of
the  readers  would  like  to  swap hot
stuff  or  tapes they may contact me at
the Adress above.  Finally greets to my
best  friends  and  contacts:  Lithium,
Killraven,   Stearo,  Nose  ,Raw-Style,
Agony, Slam, Trasher, D-Sign, W.O.T.W.,
Eumel, Dark and all I forgot.
