Date of birth:

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

I think it was year 85 when my dad bought me a great spectravideo 728 MSX
computer. Wau!

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

I have had throughout the years: MSX728, Commodore 128 and Amiga 500.
And now I have a Clone Pentium 120 Mhz which is nowadays seen as a pretty
slow machine.

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

In fact I have also been drawing while making music. I am not interested at
all in coding. Sometimes I have tried a bit to be in it but it did not
work out!

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

Heh, the first soft I used was Soundtracker II, the one where you had the
million times red scroll (do you remember?). And then they made the
continuing protracker.

With Pc, I have use FastTracker II a bit.

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

I suppose we reached our goal with the mod "Flowers in the Mud" in year 94,
which is in fact the last production. After that I haven't done anything
special.

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

Well, with the first soundtracker I made some weird songs. Well, in fact
they are quite funny when listening to them again.

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

I think music has a significant role in a demo or a game. It affects
the ambiance of demos or games quite a lot.

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

At the moment, I only compose a little bit with my acoustic guitar. With
the Computer I haven't done anything for years.

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

It Goes...

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

Difficult to tell certain songs. Well "klisje på klisje" is anyway one of
the best. And all the songs of Dw. Awesome are great. And "free from guitar"
by Bruno has hit me pretty well when it was released, few years ago!

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

No! :-)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Stone Roses, Wannadies, Cardigans, Radiohead, Kent, Charlatans, Lemonator,
Manic Street Preachers, Corduroy, Brainpool...

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

Amiga is really the coolest machine in thw world still.
When it came it was really miraculous.

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

I am not really.

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

Thanx you for this memorable interview. Say hello to acquintances
and have a nice spring. Cheers!
