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

  • Uhm.. well my father bought one of that pong game in 81 or so...
    That what the first time i guess...


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

  • After the pong broke my dad bough an Atari 2600 on wich i played games...
    A short while after that he bought an ZX81 on wich i my first program at
    age of 5 *8) Then came the Commodore64.. at first i played the games... than
    later i started to crack games and sale them at my school as MjK soft.. later
    i started using DMC to make music for a crack-group called 'Evasion'. Wich soon was
    assimilated by the demo group 'Unique' and.. about that time the SNES came
    out and a friend of bought an copybox.. i looked at the same example source codes and coded
    some intro's for him when started selling the games... I bought an Amiga because
    he didnt had an asmbler for the pc. Well then came Protracker and the rest
    is history..


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

  • I didnt.. still make gfx and code..


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

  • On the c64 about everything.. MAsm, DUT, DMC, EMS....
    On the amiga.. i used Pt 2.3.. till i started using Octamed wich was
    very handy for using midi-stuff..
    Now it's most THX.. Back to the roots..


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

  • Uhm None.. *8)


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

  • None here too.. they all su.. well you get the point


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

  • As George Lucas once said: "Music is 50% of the experience"


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

  • More leisure... But I am trying to get proffesional work done together with
    EJS...


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

  • Well mpeg is kinda nice..saves money.
    GeneralMidi sucks but some most other instruments sound kewl for techno
    stuff (Juno,Tb,Sh)


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

  • SID:
    I like most of them .. if i was to put an list of then it would
    probably be 7000 filenames.. *8)

    MOD:
    About anything from the greats (Heatbeat, Laxity, Jogier Liljedahl, Jester
    ,ect)

    THX:
    Choplifter by Plukkfisk..


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

  • Maybe..


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Depeche Mode and anything from the '80


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

  • A break from the every day world.. A world of fun..


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

  • Yes.. still terrorize people with my productions


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

  • One greeting goes to..
