INTERVIEW WITH CUTCREATOR Interview with Cutcreator / Static Bytes Done by Wolfman / Balance Cutcreator... Long hair, weird beard.. The musician who's music we hear in each edition of The Official Eurochart. One of the first musicians to have lyrics in his modules... Well, we have an interview with him here. BLC: Hi Allan, since a lot of people probably don't know you that well, maybe you should just briefly introduce yourself... (Full name, age etc.) CUT: Yeah right.... Nice talking to you too ....(hmmm..). Well I'm aproximately 18 of age and as you said a bit hairy. My main hobbies are roleplaying, and... hmm that's it I s'pose. I like to freak out, as my friends might tell you some horrible stories about, and then ofcourse I have my Amiga (Wildthing!!). BLC: what kind of education or work are you busy with these days? CUT: Ohhh yes.... I... am... busy... with... some... education... these... days... (Knock, knock, - you are loosing it.). I attend the lektures at Odder gymnasium (somewhere near Århus.), which is actually kind of fun. I have also been doing some gamemusic but that part is kind'a low right now. BLC: So, what about girls/boys ;-) are you busy with anyone? CUT: Hmmm, Funkey question... No I am single, and will most likely still be when this interview is over... (don't feel sad.). I have a tendensy to scare girls away you know, but there might be someone waiting for me "out there". BLC: You have been in the scene for quite a while, could you please give us a summary of your scene-history, you know: Group, handles, other functions??! CUT: I started as a so called lamer (maybe I still am who knows) in a group called Ascension, where me and my friend klaus (Dice of Kef.) soon ascended to a higher level of experience. Then I decided to look for a better group like STB (....NOOOOT), and I joined 'em. My first contact in this COOOOOL group was Buck (tingen.), and after a while I met the rest of the crew at a party just before the Summit '91. I have always been a musician, though I have drawn a loge once for a party slideshow. BLC: So what about your "party-history"?, what parties have you attended to? CUT: My first party was the Dexion party on "FYYYN", when I was still I Ascension. Then I joined Static tingen, and then came Summit and all the other STB paties. Apart from these I have also been at The party 1 and 2 and The Gathering 2. (I could make a song about all this.) ...ohh .. I have also been at (det der samsoe noget)... the Hurricane party, and a lot of minor group meetings like galemand (Kuglepølen!!!!), PresiurePoint and at the moment Melon. BLC: Yes, the Melon-party. How did you like this "party"? CUT: Well...hmm.... Let me think. It's a bit messy right now, and there hasn't been that many people but apart from that it's .... mmmm..... a little boring. BLC: Okay, what does the following lyric mean to you: "Cutcreator's magic universe..." CUT: It means a place where no troubles exists and where everyone is happy. Once upon a time I knew a man called Nielsensen. He was a real ranger type, but couldn't understand why people had to beat eachother up all the time. He had to come up with and idea of how to stop this horror (Aaargh.), and after his trick with the knife he didn't feel anything anymore. BLC: AhA! So what made you do a song with those lyrics? You did sing them yourself, right? CUT: I maid the vocal track myself alright. But I didn't really have a grand idea of what I was going to sing, the words just pop'd up in my mind as I wrote the notation. BLC: What kind of equipment do you have for making music? CUT: I am not very well equiped, caused by me emty wallet. I have an Amiga 500, Harddisk, sampler and a Wavestation/EX. BLC: Are you, or would you like to make music on a commercial basis, for example music for games? UT: Well, I have made some music for the former Interactivision, but they are out of buisness now so I don't know if the games are going to be released. I have some "foggy" plans about the future, and if all goes well I'll soon be working for a new firm. BLC: What do you think of the musicians on the scene today? Their style and quality... CUT: Hmmm.... (Brain computing... Short answer.). I think that there are too many clones and too much "destroy the bass on the speakers" music. Many demos are bad because of this. It is as if a demo tune is supposed to be noisy and filled with effects or have tons of beats. I like the experiments, and I have no favorit musician. There are many good composers, but none I will mension here. BLC: So, will you do the code for "Kuglepølen 2"? who will make the music? Estrup? CUT: I have no plans for a second addition KP, though our great musician Estrup has pleaded in the most humble manner (Estrup has just completed his studies of "The flutes of china.", and is therefor very anxious to compose.). I had to refuse because of a broken littlefinger and a heavy headache (Ohh yae.. How tough it is to be a coder.). BLC: What kind of music do you prefer listening to in everyday life? CUT: The music I listen to is, like my computer tunes, very varied. Red hot ch.p., Pet shop boys, Depeche mode, the Sandmen, Rage against the machine, Mozart, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Enigma, KLF, Run DMC etc. BLC: Would you like to become a pro. musician later on, for example play with a band and make lots of money? CUT: Hmmm ... (thats a big desision son, don't waste your life before it's begun.) Yes that sounds like a fun idea, though it would take a "couple" of hours hard work. BLC: Now, I'd like to see your response to the following: Michael Jackson: ..... Mikael Jaksoon... is that the guy in the kiosk next to my neighbour. He is okay. He is a good salesman anyway. Roland JD-800: Klik ..... Roland JD-800... is that the guy in the kiosk next to my nighbour. ( Klik, klik ..... needs imput... klonk.) This machine is propably one of the coolest things ever made to please A500 musicians. ex-Jugoslavia: I think this will end up being as fucked up as Vietnam. Everyone is trying to save their own hides, forgetting the common folk. If NATO had killed the black sheep in the beginning, things wouldn't have gotten so bad. Now we're all fucked. Heil hitler: Another example of something that should have been stopped in time. (Glaaab.) Cutcreator: No, I am not a violent guy. I just don't like it, when people can't see to the tip of their own nose. I am the only musician in the world who can fly (and things are so beautiful up here ????) Jester: I hate his brass sound.. stop. Never met him... stop. He is popular.. stop. Feel free to drop in... stop. Hey what's that... stop. Oh nothing... stop. Aaarrrrhh... stop. SPLAT... stop. William: (munny)... You seem like a nice fellow, filled with life. Why do you call yourself Wolfman? (Don't listen to him...- Cutcreator.) BLC: Thank YOU. Now I'd like to know who you're favorites are in these categories: Demos: In the kitchen. (I haven't seen that many.) Musicians: Heatbeat is okay. (still, there are others.) Graphicians: Sauron, why did you leave me. Groups: Static Bytes, Rednex and Kefrens. Coders: Failed return code. Diskmag: (he he he. sneaky) Actually I do not read them. I might if someone mailed them, but I am not a talented swapper. BLC: Are you very much into the scene, or are you being yourself not carring too much about things? CUT: I am not very keen on swapping, and my engagement is therefore not heavy. I like though, to go to parties and make music for the chart. I think perhaps I would be more active if STB had some more coders. BLC: What's your relationship with the other members of Static Bytes, do you see them alot and are you close friends? CUT: Well, I think that Static Bytes is a very nice group to be a member of. We are not very ambitious, but have a great friendship. Unfortunately we live rather far from each other, but we see eachother at every given opportunity (Parties, Birthdays etc.) BLC: How much money should one give you to cut your hair totally? CUT: (Brrrgh ..... Schhh ffdt... Aaarrrhh....bubble...).. Hmmm .. sorry about that, but I think that I have developed some kind of allergy towards that question. Anyway.... I think that 5000 dKr would do. BLC: Okay, we're nearing the end. Please ask yourself a question and answer it... CUT: Okay.... The red and the green bear went for a walk. Then after a while they fell down a litte staircase. Say after me.... Staaiircaase..... (And so they did.). When the hunter came to check on his staircasetrap and saw the two bears, he took his gun and shoot one. And now for the question.... Which bear did he shoot? CUT: (Polyphonycally)... The red one. BLC: Mmmhhhhmmmm... I think this was just about it. I'll just insert my macro here: "If there's anyone you'd like to say hello to, do it here" CUT: Hi to : Quackbuster, Estrup, Playboy and Buck (Spacemates.). And to : Dice, Airwalk, Vention, Jones, Hithansen, Slammer og Dyb. BLC: And the final: "Anything you'd like to state for us?" CUT: Yep..... Why did your disk not work (Nice talking to you anyway.). BLC: My disk?! Well, did I format it as Fast-file??! Who knows...
