  A record label from the shadows of time. Cleopatra Records has surprised me again. It's a strange label. It sometimes surprises. Melanie and the Witch of the Vale. Just one minute of your time. Almost two minutes. A very short composition.

  Development of a new game is slowly progressing. It's a water-themed game. And a shooter. Like Balag. Everything takes place underwater. I've already drawn everything. It's a four-color game. The CGA color scheme for MS DOS. And the spaceships are white. The outlines. And the background is blue. Only the underwater ones are here. But it doesn't matter. And the white lines are the background. Like a relief.

  Music. I'm a big music fan. And I dream of learning to play something too. I'm studying music. I was practicing steadily over the summer. Then I had a one-week break, and I got back to that level, every day. It's not exactly every day, but I have an hour of lessons from Monday to Thursday. Bass guitar. Electric guitar. Synthesizer. Voice. That's the minimum I need. Then maybe I'll just choose one instrument. Now I'm playing exercises. To learn. Since the summer, I've had a new approach, you could say. Scales, exercises.

  The dacha weekend was festive and summery. The weather was hot. It seemed like every day was like this. Although this summer was warmer than last season. This summer, there were still some cool days. And it rained often. And I was in the rain, too. But this summer was definitely warmer than last.

  A new name for connoisseurs of disco and Eurodance. For fans of Modern Talking. A great voice and a familiar style of music from the 80s. Retrowave video. With tons of effects like striped video, scanlines, VHS effects, retrowave. A great singer. For everyone who lives in their broken dreams. But in a positive way. Leave all your worries behind. There's a happy moment ahead. Enjoy life. And don't be afraid.

  Summer. What a wonderful time. Over the winter, I put everything on hold. As much as I could. This project has been going since late fall. And now it's defrosting. In a minimal form. To really revive the project. It's a retro theme. Old computers. It's some kind of web project. I haven't had time to figure out what it is myself. Some kind of network, as I see it, in the 80s.

  Space. Black and white. Black vacuum and white stars. In the distance. Distant stars. The kind you want to reach out to. Such white light in the darkness. And it seems like a very cold light. But bright. And still captivating. Because there is nothing else in the darkness of the black vacuum of night. Endless night and emptiness. Asteroids and planets. Rare, barely noticeable islands floating in this ocean.

  Summer continues. Half of it is already gone. Summer has crossed the equator. I try to be at the countryside every weekend. It seemed like I'd already settled in. A house, a table, a computer. Tea. A garden. But there's so much to do that it's like a new universe every year. Everything happens differently. Last year, I planted my own garden for the first time. And this year, I've expanded it. And I've added variety to the plants.

  Blue. Sea. And a distant horizon. So much water. It creates a magical and at the same time realistic mood. Sea. Fantasy. Reality and dream. In a musical composition. And with a visual. Team33 has a unique method of making video clips. Lian Ross is also there.

  So it's time to make a new issue with kind animals. They've been waiting for a long time. New cards. And new software. It's summer here. And the best time of year right now. Summer. Positive. Joyful and sunny. It's the time of kind animals. They're all running around somewhere.

  Who lives here? Look, a river. Look, a meadow. Such green grass grows here. But for now, only one chick lives here. He runs along the virtual grass. Among the flowers. The chick lives in the meadow. But there's no one in the river yet. This is the first version of the Landscape Generator program.

  I arrived at the countryside by train. It was raining. By the time I got to the train, it hadn't rained yet. It felt like it had rained yesterday. It rained all night. I walked to the train right through the crisp city after the rain the night before. And by the time the train was moving, it rained the whole way. I listened to music on the way and watched the water drip down the window.

  Music from the elders. Or music from the ancients. Like something from ancient magic. An old book with spells of power from the past. In an old castle. Covered in dust. But there's a lot of light there. Like a huge magical tree. Living for 100 years. And holding within itself a source of magical power. That's how I imagine this album. The opening song.

  The BASIC theme continues. I'm currently drawing pictures and thinking up some text for two projects. One format – the next version of Galagaxian. One game is about an underwater world. The other is about deep space. In one, everyone swims underwater. In the other, they orbit a rusty mechanical star.

  And now it was time to choose where to go. Another module was ending. Alice in the Park – to Mushroom Valley Alice was making up her mind. She would go to Mushroom Valley. There were magical, enormous mushrooms there. Beautiful and large. Alice knew it. It was as if she had been in a dream and had seen this place before. But she had long forgotten about it. Large mushrooms. With red caps. It was a beautiful sight for the eyes.

  Another day off. That means I'm taking the train to the countryside. A two-hour drive. Grass and greenery outside the window. Beautiful summer. The greenest summer ever. My last week of June at the countryside. I arrived at the countryside. Quickly ate some canned chicken soup. And then went planting. Planting flowers. Turns out there were still plenty of them.

  From the performance of Space Ritual 2015. As we know, the same composition can be played in different ways. With different intonations, moods, and sound settings. So here we have our own version from 2015. Cosmic. Space rock.

  The time for kind little animals has come again. Because it's summer now. And this time there will be several more programs that display lists with cards. This is a new version of the Small List program. And Icons 100. It shows cards in a list. And you can launch them from there. An expansion of the theme. Not just cards anymore. But also some software. For now, in a simple form. And the pros and cons are clear, but not clear what it's for.
