Date of birth:

1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

Well it started out with a Commodore vic20 that my brother borrow from my
fathers work... can't remember which year but it was really early in the
life of the amazing vic20... The one we borrowed had a memory expansion kit
with some extra k's! =)

2-What machines did you previously have? What did you do with them?

vic20 : peek, poke...
c=64 : played games
c=128 : played even more games
c= a500 : first release without revision... started to get into sonix and
then over to some serious tracking!
c= a3000 : started to run my own midi-music bbs called Midian and later
another one called Terminal State! And ofcoz lots of music!

3-For what specific reason did you end up making music rather than gfx,coding?

I've played drums since I was seven so I guess I just ended up with the
thing I was doing before getting a computernerd... music!

4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?

Protracker (Mellontracker rocked!)

5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal?

None...

6-Is there a tune you would like not to remember? For What reason?

Almost every module I made was more or less lame so I guess I don't want to
remember any of them... well there is a few tunes I really enjoy listening
to... Jens-Patrik and Arnesune cause they were kind a
really-stupid-chiptunes that people seem to like! *smile*

7-In your opinion, what's the value of a music in a demo, game?

Good question...

8-At present, are you still composing? For professional or leisure purposes?

I've stopped making music with trackers and I'm working with a demo for a
recordcompany here in Sweden. I'm also going to remix some new Antiloop
tracks in the future and some other new artist in the Swedish club scene!

9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?

MP3 is killing the musicbizniz... well almost anyway. I think mp3 is a
great way of sending demos digitally via Internet etc to record companies
but I really hate all people spreading gigs of music around just because
they to cheep to buy there own cd's...

10-Could you tell us some of your all times favourite tunes?

Romeo Knight - Cream Of The Earth... awesome!

11-Are you planning to make an audio cd with some of your music remastered?

I'm thinking of remixing some of my old modules but I really don't have the
time.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

My favorites are : David Holmes, Antiloop, Children Of The Bong, Kruder &
Dorfmeister... to name a few!

13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you?

Knowledge... I know run my own bizniz with an old friend from the scene,
The Silencer (Equinox,TRSi).

14-Are you still active in the scene these days?

Nope...

15-Anyone to greet? Anything left to say? Feel free...

AH! Greetinglist... THE SILENTS, SPACEBALLS.... nah, don't think so! Well I
gotta say hello to all my friends that I ever knew in the scene... cheers!
