Attention! This interview was done in "95, so it"s old, but... Nevermind. Interview with Curt Cool/Depth^Kinky made Timer/Appendix^Depth (old times, hehehe). Hello friends! This time We"ll read about my organiser Curt Cool, so let"s start. Timer: Hello Curt Cool! Curt Cool: Hello Timer! Timer: At first write some words about Yourself and the group You are in. Curt Cool: Well, I"m 20 years old, I have been on the scene since the end of 1992, in fact you could say my scene debut was on The Party 2... I live near Copenhagen, Denmark with my parents (I am going to move rather soon though), I party & booze a lot... I guess I am going to get myself a new job soon, and I might even study at university some time in the future... I was one of the 5 founding members of Depth in 1993, and I am proud to tell you that all 5 of us (Curt Cool, Gizmoduck, Folcka, Quedax & Nightsight) are still more or less active on the AMIGA scene. Today Depth is a really big group with divisions in Denmark, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Finland. I guess the Danish especially famous for our black humour, and I can safely say that THAT is not over yet. (meet us at parties and see why!). Timer: You are a functional member right? As I know You are a organiser, swapper, musician and modem trader. What from these profession You like better? Curt Cool: I actually prefer music. But I think it is quite fun to swap as well.. Timer: Let"s talk about Depth. This group is now very productive. Last time You released 2 demos - "Puost" and "Darkhawk er Sød". There are more productions to come, and I think they will be even better? What is Depths speciality? Curt Cool: Well, "Puost" and "Darkhawk er Sød" are in no way serious productions, they are only made for the sake of fun. Still, you can all expect another two demos, The Official Eurochart #xx, and some music/chip pack series. And I think that the Polish division is also working on quite a few projects... ;) Timer: How are You feel in Depth? Fine or bad? What do You want change? Curt Cool: I really like being a member of Depth, and I have always liked it, although we have been a really lazy group for a long time now I guess. If there is anything I would like to change, it is the contact between the divisions, which tends to be not so good... Still, with the internet, I hope this is going to change. Also, I would not mind having some more coders in our Danisg division, and some more graphicians in Poland... ;) Timer: Sure You have Your scene favourites right? So let"s go! (under names write why do You chose just this okey?) Group: Artwork Because they have the best members... Though I think that there were better groups in the earlier scene days.... Coder: Azure&Tron Because they coded The Gate, which features the best code ever in an Amiga Demo. Graphician: Lazur He"s just amazingly active. Musician: Trip/Depth The most original and multitalented musician on the AMIGA scene ever, mastering all styles from Ambient and Techno onto Classical music and South American rhythms. Mag: Abnormalia It"s just brilliant. Demo: The Gate/Artwork Although the design sux! Pack: ??? Don"t get many of those these days... :( Timer: Now normal favourites from live ;) Drink: Beer Food: Well, erm, dunno how to say this.. Movie: Pulp Fiction Tv-Channel: I hardly ever watch TV.. Band: Baal, a Danish band... Or maybe The Cardigans, a Swedish band... Or maybe Blur, or maybe someone else... I don"t know... I like music, basically... Timer: Many people heard about The Eurochart, could You tell us about this mag? Apperance, subjects etc. Curt Cool: Well, it was started in 1989 by old legend Dr. Awesome/Crusaders, and in 1992 Estrup/Static Bytes took over as main editor. In 1995 the last issue from Static Bytes was released, and in 1996 Depth will take over. The style will largely be the same as the old issues, at least considering the design (which will change for each issue as usual), and the way it looks, although it is being completely recoded. The editing team will be: Cytron (main ed), Curt Cool (co ed), Bakerman (news ed), Gizmoduck (co ed). There will be lots of clip arts, not too many articles, lots of charts and lots of photographs in the gallery. Timer: You have a girlfriend, so please tell us what is she? Curt Cool: ARGH! She broke up with me under a week ago, so we"ll just skip onto the next question I hope... Timer What"s Your favourite hobby? Curt Cool: Well, my AMIGA... But of course booze, girls and partying are also very important to me, and mentioning that also brings in my non-scene friends.... Sorry, in this moment this file was read/write error, so this interview is uncomplet :-)
