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

  • Fascinated by my friends C-64 that could do the most amazing things, and
    fascinated by this whole culture that followed with it. Must been around
    1985


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

  • Lambda, gave it to my ten years younger brother as a toy...
    C-64, sold it at a very good price to a guy who didn't know anything about
    computers and wanted to give it to his daughter a present.
    This gave me enough money to get an A500, that I sold so that I could get an
    A1200 which I still have.
    And then there's my PC ofcourse, but that's boring...


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

  • My cousin who was Blue Fox/Balance introduced me to noisetracker, started
    doing graphics, but I sucked...


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

  • Noise/Protracker of different kinds


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

  • Don't know, never really had a goal composing just did it for the fun.


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

  • Not really


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

  • A cool track can save the most miserable demo, don't really like music in
    gamed, I allways turn it off...


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

  • Have been really inactive composing computer music lately, but I play tons
    of live music


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

  • No oppinion, not too interested, would like a to use my PC as a home studio
    though


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

  • The track from Phenomenas Enigma demo, anything from Tip/mantronix


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

  • No


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Sonic youth, Flaming lips, Notwist, Grandaddy etc. indiestuff


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

  • The sence of being in a secret society and a lot of fun during the years


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

  • Not much, but I'm planning to compose more soon


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