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

Some of my best friends have a c64. in 1987 when I was 13 years I wish me this great one, too.

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

Like my answer before my first computer was the legendary C64. first I was playing games and
later programming some little basic codes. In 1989 I got the Amiga 500 and it was for a long
time my baby. I did anything what you can do with it. playing, gfx, coding and finaly composing
music ;-)

Since 1997 I am slave of microsoft ;-) now, I do all with the pc and doing music with it, too.

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

I have never end up doing music but I stopped with mods. the reason was that I began to work
with midi instruments. first I had a litte casio keyboard with integrated midi interface and
then a Roland U-20. I tryed the Bars & Pipes Soft but the timing was awful. so I bought me an
Atari 1040ST and used the steinberg soft.

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

I tryed some tracker as the octalyzer, futurecomposer etc. , but most used piece of music-soft was
the protracker.

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

As I started composing own music the mods were a great beginning but my best tunes were done
in 1994. I can not decide which one of them was my best, caused I liked them all ;-)

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

In the beginnig my composings were really bad. sorry, I don't want like to remember it.

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

In a demo/game the music does the mood, so I think it has a high value.

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

Yes I do, but only for my pleasure.

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

Today many people can do their own music with simple or complex music soft. the methodes changed,
cause the opportunities are massive grown. But the real scene shout "8Bit-Style rulez!" ;-)

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

I have no favourites.

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

Never a cd with my old mods!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I still like the 80-90s music.

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

The amiga scene was great. at this time I got to know some of my best friends and we all loved
the scene. it was a funny time and it will be in my mind forever.

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

no :-(

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

The scene never dies!
