INTERVIEW WITH ZINKO OF KEFRENS Interview with Zinko of Kefrens Done by James / Balance Zinko is really an organized guy. He always drags around with a briefcase full of disks and he's generally a very smart guy, anyway here we have an interview with him. (BK = James / Balance) BK: Hi Jack! How about introducing yourself to the readers? ZINKO: Dam, Dam, Daammm! I'm here, but who am I? Well, my real name is Jack Dandanell, but for many guys I'm also known as "Zinko / Kefrens". I'm 19 years old (30/10-74) (No shit, eh!), and even better I only have one year left of my education as a carpenter. I live in a city called Slagelse, in the wonderful contry of the true vikings! (Denmark) (Hey, that's Norway! -Cs) (It's DENMARK!!!! -Wolfie.) BK: OK, before we can start this excellent interview, I have to ask one very important question from you: Do you believe in the power of pyramids? ZINKO: Of course I belive in the power of the pyramids, but that has nothing to do with me being in Kefrens. As you might know it has been approven that there are gathered magnetic powers in the pyramids. So I think there are more strange things related to the pyramids, than you often believe. BK: Tell us your scene history (previous groups, handles, etc...). ZINKO: Wow! That was a tough one, but I will try to give you a short version. It started way back in the good old C64 days, I was just playing around with some games. But one day a friend of mine came to visit me, he had brought a demo with him, which he of course showed me. After this I was really amazed, and we started getting interested in making demos ourselves. So after some days we made our first group, which we called "Rowdy". We where not very good at this point, but we were full of willpower. After some time we managed to release a couple of demos, but they where rather poor. Some more months went by, and "Rowdy" died. Another month passed and we decided to rebuild our group, but this time under the name "The Shadow Dreamers". We had gotten a little better at this point, but we only managed to release one demo called "Power Dream", After this demo was released I decided to move on to a bigger machine, so I bought myself an AMIGA 500. When I got this machine, I didn't really know any other Amiga owners, so it wasn't so cool. I only knew a few dudes, who didn't really get anything. So I didn't know anything about the scene, but one day a guy called Raistlin called me and asked if I would join their group as a swapper. The group was "Disorder". I joined, and one week later we released a megademo. (Remember those?) But the group soon lived up to its name, and it really got in disorder. At this point I had become really good friends with Xience of the Goonies 2041, (Hi Solnova! it's you!!) so I and Thunderbyte asked if we could join them, and they agreed. We joined a group which really seemed to be cool, but we soon discovered that all what they cared about were boards. We tried to get it going for the better, so we released a couple of intros and demos for them. But when I asked, if I could get a memberlist from the leader "Master ed". He just said: "Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you." After this I got really pissed off. In the meanwhile Xience had joined Deadlock and I soon followed. Deadlock was a really friendly group, and I enjoyed my time there very much. But the group was slowly falling apart, so at The Party II I joined Majic 12. Majic 12 was really a nice group, but in the end I got really tired of it because there are way too many members, and too little friendship. The best parts of Majic 12 were and still are M12 Hungary (Hello Zozo, Rack, and Avantage ) and M12 Sweden (Bop, bop, Burton, Zyx ) So finally at the Galemandsgilde '93 I joined the forces of Kefrens. This is the place where I think I will stay because there is a perfect friendship, and everybody know each other much better this way! About my handle, I have always used it. It is almost the same as five in Spanish, but even more like Bazooka in Finnish, which happens to be the coolest language in the world. That's also why I must say "Hello!" to all the nice Finns who are helping me in learning it! BK: ZZZZzzzz.....ZZZZzzz...... ZINKO: Hey you wake up, I'm waiting for the next question!!! BK: Did you start on the Amiga or did you own another computer before? ZINKO: As I told you above I started out on the C64, but I soon jumped over to the wonderful world of Amiga! BK: How much time do you have to use for swapping every day? ZINKO: I really don't know? I use as much time as I have, and if that isn't enough, it has to wait. I also have to apologize to all my contacts for my short letters in the passed months. But I haven't really had the time, because there have been a lot of other things to do. But as my friends should know, I always try to write a long letter to them. Even when I sometime fail. BK: How much money do you use for swapping per month? ZINKO: I don't really know, but it is way too much. Just drop me a line and I will use even more. No joke. There is always space for another friend! Donations are also very welcome. Just make impact on the address in the end of this interview! BK: How about telling us something about Kefrens? ZINKO: Some Icelandic farmers, who got tired of horseshit and moved to HASLEV.. Later on more civilised beings joined. NOW only MELLICA remains. (HE has got a tracktor, you know!!!).. In fact nobody really knows Mellica. We have never been allowed to visit him at his farm in Haslev. He has got a BIIIIG cow, blocking the road leading to his prominent castle. As Vention pronouses Mellica. "MUUH sagde den lille Milkako, og lagde sin diller i sin mors sk0d." (Mellica was just KICKED from Kefrens. -Cs) KEFRENS - When a good laugh isn't enough.. BK: Do you know that Kefrens isn't spelled right? ZINKO: OFFcourse, hvy Immitate like everydoby ilse? The king, from whom we got inspired, is named Chephren. BUT face it, half the German population couldn't even think their way to Chephren. JOKE!!! NOT!! NO. The real reason is that in Denmark "Ch" is pronoused "K", and "Ph" "f". Therefore CHEPHREN becomes .... KEFREN. And since we ARE his fans, We WOULD BE CALLED BENTS. UPS.. KEFRENS..... BK: Have you ever tried to code, paint or compose? ZINKO: Yeah. I'm secretly coding all of LAXITY'S routines. Look out for my soon coming Multi-Desert-Dragon!! It will of course have a special hidden tracktor part, so that all farmers have something to look up too! BK: Please tell us your favourite... Coder: Chaos/Sanity & Spy/Crionics Graphician: Hof/Melon DeZign and my friend Cougar/Sanity Musician: Heatbeat/Melon DeZign ofcourse! But also the rest of the Melon-orchestra ( Hi Schmoovy-Schmoov!) Demo: Dunno, there are so many. But I hate when they don't work on AGA. Group: Melon DeZign! and not all those other BAD imitations!! BK: Who do you hate most in the scene? ZINKO: Seen / Melon DeZign ofcourse!!! No, just kidding. Hello Henrik. Too bad that this interview will first be out after your party, but I hope it will all turn out to the better! I think it will be at least 100 times better than the party III! (Hahaha! What a joke! -Cs) BK: Do you still believe in the power of pyramids? ZINKO: Silly question, sure I do!!!! Do you belive that the human race will survive? BK: Please comment the following words: Ankh: Eternal life!.... Well, almost, but at least life! A1200: Almost like the power of those pyrathings Balance: What? It can be hard to keep the balance. Compatibility: Rules. EHh.. Hi Seen! Techno: Crap! Almost as POP. When words are not enough?: 'When 130 members are not enough' Quote Hof! BK: How much time do you use with your 'girlie', Amiga, every day? ZINKO: Hard to say, if I had a cow like Mellica I might have known. But since that not the case, I can't tell you. It can be rather hard keeping track of the time inside a pyradims, because you can't see the big light ball in the sky. But if I had a tracktor, I might get out more often. Yum-Yum! BK: Do you have any other interests than the scene? ZINKO: If I have any other interests than Seen? I'm not interested in Seen at all, He is just a good friend!!! Ups!! Of cause I have! Parties and girls. But also licking stamps, watching the cows, and drinking the horses in Haslev! Even better is irritating my neighbours with loud music. And kicking Vention the janitors ass! (Got ya!) BK: Do you have got a girlfriend? If yes, then describe her to us. ZINKO: Sure I have, but she is too cute to be put into words. She has to be seen! Kisses to Pernille!!! Well I can try. She is a bit smaller than me, with long blond hair, and blue eyes. This is really not easy, so you have to live without a detailed description. The most important thing is that I know what she looks like, am I right! BK: Tell us something about your dog! ZINKO: My duck? Ohh - my dog, well he is rather black, for a black dog, that is. He has a white spot on the chest, and he has also started getting gray hairs. At the moment he is too fat, but I don't care. He seems to like it and if you want to see him you should check out Top Secret #14! BK: Now you can ask me some questions! ZINKO: Yeah, did you get all the question on the answers you gave me? BK: Uh well, seems like it. ZINKO: Why aren't we allowed to see Mellica's tracktor? BK: I'd BET it's because there's a big COW blocking the way.... ZINKO: What made you think, that I could be serious for more than two minutes? BK: I didn't. Do you think any of this is rather serious? (Okay, STOP this! -Wolfie.) BK: Please tell us how your normal day is like. ZINKO: Normal! Who do you call normal? I think it's rather boring, so I won't tell you about it! I can just tell you it's really expensive, and a lot of hard work. It often irritates me that the horses won't stand still, and Vention keeps breaking the broom! Beside this I have to get up early, and that sucks. Especialy in the Wintertime, because it gets so fucking cold outside! And I have to make holes in the ice, so that the horses can get something to drink. BK: What music do you listen to? ZINKO: Cypress Hill, Ice T, Napalm Death, but also many other nice things. Body Count is also rather cool... EEhhh. Paragon!! BK: OK, it's almost over now... It wasn't that terrible, or was it? ZINKO: Or was it! (Did I miss something here?!-Wolfie.) BK: Well, you have now got your opportunity to write some lines of your own will ;-) ZINKO: Jumhops to Schmoovy-Schmoov, Nice new handle mate, and some more Jumhops to Cougar, Seen, Hyde, Slammer, Solnova, Hithansen, Bored, Wolfman, Dalmak, TFG, Starblade, Dino, Corny, Toastmaster, Bross, Astro, Julius, Pride, Kr'33, Robotnik, Cyclone, The Collector, Archmange, HeadX, Quest, Vinnie, MCS, Trasher, Avantage, Rack, Zozo, Zyx, Burton, Baby, Dali, Mud, Vector, Yragale, Diddle, Exumer, Paragon, Dark, Calvin, Cone, Warhead, Flame, Darky, Devilstar, Equalizer, Exciter, Executioner, Flesh, Gadget, Gadin, HMC, Kingpin, Lord Helmet, Kopara, Lowkick, Meta, Misery, Mop, Overdog, Plugster, Reserve, Scottie, Serval, Skyline, Slam, Sledge, Split, Wreko, Skrat skratterat skrum skrirum skrat, Storm, Style, Tronix, Vampire, Wizard, Weird Dream, and many many more.
