Date of birth:

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

Around 1988 when I got my first Amiga 500.

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

Commodore VIC 20, Commodore 64. I mostly played games.

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

Well actually I did both gfx and simple coding, but I still enjoyed music mostly.

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

Noisetacker, Protracker. On PC I used Modplugtracker, but that was later.

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

I guess people mostly liked the tune Lights of Shadows (incorrectly named "herpes" on amp).

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

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

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

I keep asking me the same question.

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

I rarely listen to scene-music nowadays except for music in winner-demos released at pouet.net

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

Well I enjoyed all work by Codex / Razor 1911.

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

No.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I guess I listen various artists. I enjoy everything as long as it has melody and good variation.

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

The amigascene was a wonderful scene, and it was all about giving input on creativity. I feel a loss for youth nowadays,
where computer-creativity seem to loose for gaming and movie-watching etc.

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

No.

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

Greets to everybody that gave me input on music!
