Date of birth:

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

A friend had a Commodore Vic20 and another friend had a c-64. I was
inspired and bought a C128d. I guess it was 1986 or 1987.

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

C128, Atari 520, Amiga 500 for mostly gaming. But I also enjoyed graphics,
demos and music. Sometime I surfed on bbs and sometimes I tried to make
music. (most of my songs that I made on Amiga is gone now i think. The
floppies doesnt work anymore.)

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

Music was more interesting than gfx. I had no friend that was coding
either, so it was hard to learn on my own.

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

Mainly FT2 on pc. On amiga i was playing around on protracker as a lame
wannabe.

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

None

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

All tunes made before 1999. I think the tunes I made after 1999 isnt
horrible at least.

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

Depends on what kind of creation it is. In demos I would say 40%.
In games it depends on what kind of game it is.
Adventure/fantasy/strategical games must have great music. Action games
need more sfx. Platform games needs fun and happy music.

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

Leisure..... i played Leisure suit Larry 1 yesterday :)
Yes, i still compose. Still without getting money.

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

Not as creative as the tracked songs is. Music quality is more important
than sound quality.

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

http://www.modarchive.com/chart

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

Who would want that?

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Most music that comes out from my speakers is actually scene music. But I
listen on commercial music too. Most music from the 80's and metal.

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

I have learned much about music. Had lot of fun. Been on great demoparties.
Met several great friends :)

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

Absolutely

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

Greets to my cat, brother and friends.
