Date of birth:

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

1985, a friend at school showed me his Commodore64, I was immediately hooked
by the funny sounding little great games.

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

Beside the Amiga i had a Commodore64, an amazing piece of machinery, I it used
for music, logos and fonts.

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

The music of the Commodore64 was so great that i had to investigate it, and
have stuck with it ever since. I'm interested in gfx and coding too, but
composing music is instant fun.

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

NoiseTracker and ProTracker was my main tools, I also used Sound Tracker,
Future Composer, Mugician, Delta, Sidmon1-2. On c64 was Futurecomposer and
Soundmonitor was my favourites. On PC it's Renoise and FastTracker.

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

I never set a goal to reach beside the genre, which also tended to go inches
wide goal. Some likely candidates could be Motivation sickness or Enjoy your
48% liq.

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

Sorry, i've happily forgotten them ..

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

Music is a cornerstone of any good production, whether it's a game, demo or
a movie. It helps setting the right mood and letting the viewer/player better
percieve what's happening.

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

I'm still composing and will always do, it's still for leisure though.

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

Small formats are still great for the internet, mobile phones and such, other
than that i don't have anything to add. Try asking 4-Mat ;P

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

No, but they were made by Bit arts, Moby, Jester, Rob Hubbard, Jeroen Tel,
Johannes Bjerregaard..

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

I might fix a few.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Kashmir, Mew, No Doubt, Soundtracks from Quantin Tarantino movies.. and ..
and everything else

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

Friendship, fun and learning lots of things.

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

Nope. But some day i'll attend a demo party again, or maybe bit-live for the
fun of it :D

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

Only that Cheers is the best TV show ever. :)
