Frankie
Name, birthday, origin:
Frank Beermann, 14.01.1970
Group, ex-group(s):
TRISTAR, OGM
TRISTAR was founded in 1987 by Flynn (MCP, later TRSI), Terminator (MCP), CCO (OGM) and myself. Later on the whole KGB Team joined as the 3rd 'Star'. Also Conan joined OGM and -with this- TRISTAR. TRISTAR Mark I splitted in 1988 after CCO, Conan and myself left the Team. A little later, Terminator left also. Flynn foundes TRSI with Irata. Delaware (KGB) continued working under the Name of TRISTAR.
What was your first group, your role in that group and what did that group produce?:
The first Group was The OGM Crew. OGM is short for 'Orgasmatron' which is the Title of a very nice Motoerhead Album released in the 80's.
As OGM was not more then a spreader Team, it was my job to swap more or less actual Software. OGM had only regional popularity. Maybe to mention, our 'Crackers against AIDS' Project with Radwar.
What motivates you to spend time for the scene?:
OH, I am not that much involved in the Scene anymore. On the other hand I always like to look back to those times '87 / '88 when TRISTAR started through.
What is your favorite color?:
Black
On what platform(s) did you begin your computing journey, and when was this?:
This must be around 1982, my first Computer was a Commodore VIC 20. Yes, a 'VIC', the english Version.
What platform(s) do you use now?:
At the mo, my hobby is a big MCE 2005 Machine which rules my living room (and later on my kitchen, bathroom - of course not my bedroom).
What is/are your favorite piece(s) of music/s - from a demo production or a scener (released outside of a demo)?:
I really don't know.
What is/are your favorite picture(s) - from a demo production or a scener (released outside of a demo)?:
Everything from Terminator.
Which project that you worked on was the most exciting and interesting for you? And why?:
TRISTAR. I lived for TRISTAR until the Split in '88.
Well, that was not all bad. Because of my former TRISTAR concentration I had to catch up a lot, like Girls, Discos, Alkohol and Girls. Did I already mention Girls?
What is your favorite demo, intro, megademo, retrogame, slideshow, musicdisk, diskmag, wilddemo?:
TRISTAR from 1987, Graphics by Terminator, Sounds by Flynn and all Codings by Conan. A Milestone.
In C64 Times I was always a fan of those Unit A Cracktros.
Which parties do you intend to go to, and which parties would you like to go to? Please describe your personal experiences with your most favourite or impressive party you have ever been at.:
The only Party which is interesting for me might be RWE in Autumn this year. And -of course- or very own 20 years anniversary in August.
How did the scene alter since you are taking an active part in it? Can you explain why?:
I don't know, I am not really a part of this Scene anymore.
What are your dreams/goals in life, did scene help you and have you achieved them yet?:
Well, I am 37 years old now. I have a hot wife and two sweet children. I have a house outside in the greens and a Job which allows me to follow all my interests. So far about my aims and the percentage of reaching them.
Finally, do you have some special greetings? Feel free to add links to your graphics, screenshots of effects, modules or other pieces of your work.:
Aaah, the greetings Section. This time to some very good friends of the 80ies:
BKA of Radwar, Wil of Hotline, Honey of The 1001 Crew, Doc Pablo and Buildex of the Champs, Skylab of The Movers and of Course Antitrax 2010.
Also to my everlasting friends CCO, Flynn, Terminator & Conan
