INTERVIEW WITH PARADROID OF ANARCHY


           By Pazza of LSD


Q: Please introduce yourself
A: My real name is Barry Irvine, age
   18 and I live in a town called
   Ellesmere Port which is about 15
   miles south of Liverpool.  My
   current group is Anarchy, which
   I joined about 3 weeks before this
   party.

Q: Give us your scene history.
A: I will keep this as short as
   possible, here's a list of what
   groups I have been in and what I
   did:

   The Watchmen - Swapper/Artist
   Technotronics - I left after 2 days
   Illusions UK - Swapper/Coder/Artist
   Crack - Coder/Artist
   Flash Prod - Coder/Artist
   Razor 1911 - Coder/Artist
   Digital - Coder/Artist
   Anarchy - Coder/Artist

Q: Why did you leave Digital for
   Anarchy.
A: I didn't actually leave Digital to
   join Anarchy, I left them because
   the way the group was being run.
   When I first joined Digital last
   year I asked for 1 picture and
   after 4 months I still didn't have
   it.  I also didn't think that a lot
   of the members we had should have
   been in Digital, I phoned up Number
   5 about this and he told me that he
   had kicked out a lot of guys, when
   he told me who they were I didn't
   agree with him and so I decided to
   leave.  I decided to stay
   independent for a while but after a
   visit to Core Design to see Dan,
   Nuke and Rush, I decided to join
   Anarchy as they could offer me the
   GFX and Music I needed...

Q: We are here at the Quartz party,
   what do you think of it so far?
A: At the start it was a bit boring
   but once more people turned up
   things started to get better.  I
   would say its one of the better
   party's that have been held in the
   UK, and the some of the
   competitions such as the disk
   throwing were very original.

Q: How long did it take you to put
   your winning demo "Deja vu"
   together?
A: I started this demo about 4 weeks
   ago, it was only meant to be a
   small vector preview but I got a
   bit carried away, it had been over
   six months since I last released
   something so I thought this party
   was my chance to show off some of
   my code.

Q: What assembler do you use and why?
A: ASM-ONE - This was very useful for
   doing the demo as it has all the
   tracking functions I needed, it
   saves going from util to util.  I
   would buy the original but I soon
   hope to get a PC with Snasm
   instead...

Q: If you could write you're own
   epitaph, what would it be?
A: Paradroid - Was the fucking best!

Q: which groups, musicians, artists
   and coders do you rate?
A: GROUPS - Phenomena, Digital,
   Kefrens, Andromeda, Melon Design.
   MUSICIANS - Mr Man, Static, Nuke,
   Moby.
   CODERS - Buddha, Azatoth, Laxity.
   ARTISTS - Facet, Mithrander, PGCS.

Q: Now your demo's released, what's
   your next project?
A: My next demo will be called DMA-
   DREAM, it will be very original
   compared to Deja-Vu and will be
   based around demos such as
   HardWired, Odyssey, SOS etc.  I
   hope to get this done in time for
   the Digital Party later this year
   but that is being optimistic...

Q: How can u be contacted?
A: I only like very experienced coders
   to write to me for swapping
   algorithms, ideas and demos.  I
   DON'T WANT SOURCE CODE.  If you
   want the same write to this
   address;

             Barry Irvine
            21 Flint Court
            Ellesmere Port
             South Wirral
               L65-9DS
               England

Q: We have to cut this interview
   short to take Mub to hospital, so
   any final words?
A: I must say a big hello to Majic
   Mushroom/Quartz for giving me
   inspiration and support over the
   phone on long nights of coding.
   Also a big thanks to the rest of
   Quartz for organising such a great
   party, Pazza/LSD for this
   interview, that's all folks, see
   yah later.

end.
