Date of birth:

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

Well, I always like to play games. When I was a young boy I have couple
of those old tv-games like Intervision etc. I tired to play them,
so I get a C-64. Year was 1986.

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

I have had C-64, C-128, Amiga 500, and many PC`s. Ofcourse I played..
played.. and played many games, but then I started to do some gfx, and music too.

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

I made some gfx´s too but, it was not my thing to do some graphic art in computer,
so I just stay on the paper on that case. Coding... I am not a mathematician ;)
Music has been always part of my live! I listen so much many kind of musics
and in a school I have a Thrash-metal band. I played guitar and sing.
So that´s why I think music is my thing.

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

I use couple of Soundtrackers, Startracker, and finaly tracker what I love
was a Protracker.

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

None ;) I like very much some of my tunes... but always I can do it better.

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

Yeah.. many of my very oldtime modules. Reason is simple.. I hate that shit, but
sometimes is just fun to listen them, booze and laugh.

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

Music is very important part. Ofcourse gfx and coding is very important parts too,
but the point is... Demo is everything what you see, and hear! Two sense. Make them
work together, you know?

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

No. I just play a littlebit my guitar, thats all. Couple yearsago I still composing music
with my keyboard and PC Fast-tracker just for fun.. and then I meet one guy, who was
a cameraman and producer in a Finnish television program. He ask that can they use some
of my tunes in couple tv-programs, and I agree. :)

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

Well, I think that is good! It is so much easy than couple years ago.

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

Huh! That is a hard one... I´m sorry, I cannot remember.

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

I dont think so, but everyting is posible.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen many kind of music... but, at this time I like to listen rock music.
Jazz, soul, Rock and roll and some of heavy metal bands I like to listen also.

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

Good experiences, nice moments with my friends in a parties and I learn something
about music.

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

No.. that is past. I left the scene about 11 years ago. Phew!.. just long time ago.

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

Greetings to all my friends and everybody who knows and still remember me! :)
And especially: Chipper, Zandax, Cubic, and Deshay!
