Date of birth:

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

About 14-15 years ago. I dunno exactly. My parents bought me a VIC-20 ;)

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

VIC-20 (Mostly I'd play Invaders ;))
C=+4 (still gamer...)
PC 486DLC, 5x86, k6/2 (My first plasma effect => I decided NOT to be a coder :))
PC celeron 500/ 1GHz (Exploring Dos based trackers like FT2, ST..)

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

The reason? Very simple. In my first party released Inquisition their first
demo called Reflections. (Basic effects, and an "awful" music). "I can track
better than this in a hour"-said, and I closed the doors of my room, got a
samplecd and a FT2 and start from the beginning... ;´)

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

FT2, Modplug Tracker (*sigh*), Buzz, Zajgen (conspiracy's samplegenerator) and
sometimes Soundforge

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

I've no goals with my musics. Or maybe?
Anyway. I do until I can make musics which ones me likes.
I must have say: The music competitions are not so fair. Anyone knows if you
make a jazz tune, or a more popular dnb or hc, you can't win with a classic
piano song in same category...

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

My first song played in a party: Piano movements (You can dl from Inquisition's
page). Too loud, too sharp piano sample, and the setup of party sound stuffs
lacked in bass and treble :) I became pale alrtough I heard my heartbeat in my
ears for hours after the compo :)))))))))))

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

The music sells the demo. Maybe you can make fantastic code, beautiful graphics,
but if your prod has silly music you can't get the real feeling... There are
demos (second reality, dope), which are maybe up-to-date graphics, and code,
but their FEEEELING musics makes them unforgetable...

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

I do my composes only in my leisure. I don't wanna be a professional, no special
goals with my musics. Listen innocent music if you like! :)

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

I'm not against the today's musics. I'm just irritated, when these are in same
category like the tracked ones.

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

I've lots of favourite tunes, tooks too long to write into a list. I rather
mention some artist I like: Kb, Radix, Skip, Shaman, Vincenzo.

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

No. I just plan to make some musicdisk in executable format. The remastered
versions sound well, altrough lose the feeling...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I am a The Police fan. (ex band of Sting)

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

The amiga/c64 prods proves the real meaning of scene: the most important
thing is not the technology, but the seek of limits...

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

Off course.

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

I must have say I filled this form 4 hours long becouse of my poor english. I
apologise of that. I was wondering you are interested for a "nobody" as me,
that was the cause I didn't throw your mail unreadable into the recycle bin. :)
