Dangermouse:

Kelthar:

Dangermouse:
First of all, this is the second time i've interviewed you,
the first time, was around the start of last year.. So, has
your name, sex or occupation changed at all?
Kelthar:
Not what i know really. i'm not into changing sex that much
nowadays. maby that'll happen in the future, but i doubt it.
Still in school.
Dangermouse:
So where abouts do you live?
Kelthar:
In limhamn/malmoe/sweden... malmoe is the town ... limhamn
is the part
g3n1ck_>>
hi , waddup? kelthar\>> and who are you spose
to be?
damn
... i get alot of those. are they looking for friends?
Dangermouse:
Ahh.. cool.. Are there many babes in sweden, or is that just
a stereotype which should be true?
Kelthar:
Yeah there are quite alot, but i don't think we have to many
of them. I don't think we're above average =)
Dangermouse:
I don't know :) All I ever get is those pron messages, like
Wanna see me nekkid? Goto http://blah.com
Kelthar:
Hehe ... i have a porn site up soon... it's a serious one
too. =)
Dangermouse:
As if my name is like "give me pron" or something.. Not that
I look at that stuff or anything
Kelthar:
n/m. yeah ... i've had enuf porn for now
Dangermouse:
Shania Twain rocks, anyway..
Ok,
so as I understand it, you were one of the founding members
of the European art group Shade?
Kelthar:
Yeah. that's was quite a while ago. the best scene-time i've
had.
Dangermouse:
Yeah, around what year?
Kelthar:
hmmmm. it was founded the 17th of june '96.
Dangermouse:
Cool, what would you say were your best memories of Shade?
Kelthar:
Hmmm. i guess it was the good respone from the art-scene.
We became known very fast and wide in a very short period
of time. but the absolutely best thing was to draw together.
Me, dfuse and phlare. Going home to each other and checking
out the latest art we've done. getting together on nights.
like drawing-nights. It was pretty unorganized all the way
thru. shade that is.
Dangermouse:
Heh.. A 'local' group with an international reputation..
Kelthar:
It was local. the founders/leaders =) ... we got alot of swedes
in it. mostly. There was alot of good swedish drawers and
there still are.
Dangermouse:
Yeh, I see there are still a few local groups in sweden these
days too?
Kelthar:
I don't really know. i see all kind of new groups poping up
and dying all the time. it's pretty hard to remember everything
that's happening in the art-scene. or more the ascii-scene
nowadays. But there will always be alot of local groups i
guess. some make it. most of them don't.
Dangermouse:
Speaking of dying, How did Shade die in the end? I understand
dfuse and phlare just called and quits? Any reasons?
Kelthar:
They said they got tired of shade. it wasn't fun anymore.
i still liked shade, but i wasn't the same as in the beginning.
i have to agree on their opinions. it came as a shock to me
really. they canceled the group without notifying me. Yeah.
But i admit they were running the group. i wasn't really a
leader or what you could call it.
Dangermouse:
Heh.. Shit.. Around what time did you enter the scene anyways
btw?
Kelthar:
Hmmm. i think i got my first modem when i was somewhere around
12.. 6-7 years ago.
Dangermouse:
So, before Shade then, what did you get up to?
Kelthar:
Been cosysop on juarez board. one specific that a friend had
that was called overdoze. we put alot of work into that one.
Been in og syndicate and stuff like that. (they became cb4
but i didn't come along. then cb4 merged with rebels)..
Dangermouse:
How did you get into drawing ANSI?
Kelthar:
Hmmm. that started kind of early. i started drawing a long
time ago. i didn't do anything serious then. It looked like
shit but alot of ppl liked it =) Maybe 5 years ago. if i would
have drawn serious for 5 years i would have been alot better
then what i am today. But i have my drawing periods. havn't
had one for a while tho =).
Dangermouse:
So were there any groups before Shade or?
Kelthar:
No. just og syndicate. i drawed for them. for jaurez boards
in russia and so on.
Dangermouse:
So after Shade, what did you get up to? Any groups or projects
that you are/were involved in?
Kelthar:
I applied to some group i think. i can't recall much of it
tho. i had made alot of enemies when i was in shade. it's
my attitude =). I don't remember if i joined any group or
was accepted. i think i did but i can't recall which one.
Dangermouse:
"Nah, like piss off you fuckwit" kinda shit?
Kelthar:
no like:
somebody>>
aren't you that shade founder? i love shade!
kelthar\>> ok. sounds like you're fucking proud
of it too.
stuff
like that. since i got millions of msg's back then.. it
was fun to respond in the start. but you get tired of all
the "lamers" bugging you.
Dangermouse:
So, did you get into any groups? Odelay rings a bell for some
reason.
Kelthar:
Yes. i was invited to odelay i belive. that happens alot these
that what i've heard. i liked odelay alot. odelay died what
i can recall. I don't like going from one group to another.
i like to stick to one and always stick with it nomatter how
bad it is.
Dangermouse:
Tell me about Agony? Why did you develop it? Bored? :)
Kelthar:
I was in aluminum. but as you know it died. i loved aluminum.
I used a script called acid-irc. you know =). i wanted to
make my own.
I scripted
alot in the start when i learned to script. now i don't
script hardly at all. i have anew version tho. but i'm not
releasing it. =)
Dangermouse:
Haha.. Keep it to yourself then :) we don't care :)
Kelthar:
One thing i like is that like alot of ppl know of "kelthar"
nowadays. mostly swedish i belive =) yes =) haha. there's
ppl coming and asking for the new version alot tho =)
Dangermouse:
Umm, so how is life? Any girls? etc?
Kelthar:
There's always a gurl in my life =). i'm together with someone
named louise. i love her alot. more than alot. She's on irc
too. but that's not the way i mett her =)
Dangermouse:
Sure man, i bet you met her online :) Yeah, haha.. marriage?
babies on the way? :)
Kelthar:
heh. nope. i'm a father tho. in case you didn't know.
Dangermouse:
You are? Man, i didn't know.. Girl or a boy?
Kelthar:
Boy. i got into a big fight with my girl (who has the kid)
and she told me to fuck off.
Dangermouse:
Oh.. Sorry to here it.. How old is the child?
Kelthar:
About 1 month now, almost
It's
really fucked. but i am lucky to have louise. she helps
me get thru it.
Dangermouse:
How old are you? :)
Kelthar:
I'm 18. it all sounds so fucked up right?... it is
Dangermouse:
Heh.. I have to admit, it's not the most ideal situation,
but things could be worse..
Kelthar:
The thing is that my kid is in the us. i'm in sweden.
Dangermouse:
Oh!
Kelthar:
Fom your opinion. what ascii group should i join. who are
the best these days? i have no idea myself =)
Dangermouse:
No shit.. So you've only been back in sweden for how long
how? And why were you in America of all places? :) (no offense
90% of the scene :>)
Groups
to join? Remorse!ascii, i spose..
Kelthar:
Well. i've been back for 8-9 months.. Why i was there i preffer
not to discuss =) ... so fucking cheezy
Dangermouse:
Ok.. Welp, have i missed anything? Drugs? Raves? haha
Kelthar:
Oooh. Drugs, raves. there's a big subject =)
Dangermouse:
haha.. If raves means the same thing it does in OZ -- TECHZNO?
Kelthar:
I love raves. the drugs sometimes comes along. If it's a big
event i'll drop a roll. Techzno?`is that a joke? =)
Dangermouse:
So, explain what happens at a rave.. For the ignorant amoung
us
Kelthar:
Heh. like ... we go there two hours after it has started dropping
a roll 1.5 hours before, so we're fucked up when we arrive..
Then you just becomes one with the music for 8 hours. dancing
yer ass off. drinking heaps of water. sweating it all out.
I've never had a piss on a rave =).
Dangermouse:
Haha.. it must be some sort of record..
Kelthar:
Not really. you never piss since everything comes out when
you sweat. If you don't drink enuf you get dehydrated fast.
it's the methamphetamine in extacy that makes the water pass
thru the body so fast.
Dangermouse:
Man, its been great catching up with you.. Great interview
Kelthar:
Ok, nice being interviewed... ok fuck you ... now i don't
have to be nice anymore ... =) latah bro ...
