Date of birth:

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

I think my interested in computers started when the girls stopped following
me.. In the late 80's, that is..

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

I'v owned a C-64, an Amiga 500 and an Amiga 1200. I sold the C-64, but I
still have the others left. Nostalgia, I guess..

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

Music's in my genes, so I guess that came naturally.

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

I've used all of the tracker from sound-noise- to the latest version of
Protracker.

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

I haven't reached my goal yet, and I don't think I ever will. To reach a
goal is for me to reach an end, and when you reach an end, you stop. I
don't want to do that.

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

I don't remember. :)

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

Well, it depends. Coders can form their demos after the music, making the
both parts work together, as sync etc. That makes the demo more valuable.
I think it's the same in games, but then the music is formed after the
scenes in the game.

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

I'm still composing, but I don't have enough time to do it professionally.
At least not now.

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

It's nice to have them, but there is and will always be something special
with tracker- modules. You can see how the author has worked his way through
the song. It's more than just the sound. It's the technique, the sampling.

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

Scortia's "Soulkitchen" is the absolute favourite.
I'm satisfied with all of my own songs, so if that was the question you
asked me, then I'm afraid I can't answer it..

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

Nope.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to MTV, nothing special really. I'm studying say and night,
and have a limited amount of gold, so I can't afford to buy any new
records. If I had the gold, I would still not have the time..

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

It gave me a lot of friends, you're one of them. It also gave me some
nice memories.

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

I'm active as a musician, but the group isn't.. :)

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

Hi to all the guys i know! Write to me!
