Date of birth:

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

I got my first computer (a ZX Sinclair Spectrum) in '82 and since
that day I've been hooked...

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

After the first machines I've used C64:s, Amigas (all models) and PCs
for various things such as Gfx, some lousy coding but mainly music...

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

coding?

I sucked on everything else... and as it turns out, music is the most fun
anyways!

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

Protracker v2.xx is the Only One!No, actually I've used the lot... like
wham!(ZX), sonix, soundtracker,
future composer, OctaMED, scream tracker and fasttracker for MODs
And lots of others for Midi... but ProTracker Rockz!

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

That's a feeling you never experience!

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

The first One!

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

Great value! A demo or game ain't complete without it...

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

I am not composing professionally at the moment, unlike Merlin! ;)

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

What is there to say about it? You can't compare it to anything other
thanprofessional music so... You can't compare it to Mods, can you!?

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

Uncle Toms tune for Scoopex Mental HangoverKlisje paa Klisje - by
what's-his-name-that-norweigan-guy
and lots and lots more...

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

Nope... why?

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

wow! well, anything that rocks...

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

Nice memories... and lots of empty cokecans in the garage.

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

No... but who knows... (we'll call it a long sleep...)

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

Yeah... Greets to all of the cool cats I knew on the old
scene... you know pretty damn well who you are!
Some closing words: I heard the contributions from TG99
today... If this is what the musicians on the scene is capable
of today... yeah! well... Keep on trackin'...
