Date of birth:

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

1986, my father bought a c64

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

c64- played games, Amiga- Maid music and stuff, PC- Making music
and programming.

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

Well.. I have always been very interested in music so I didn't really have an
option but to compose on my computers.

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

On amiga I used Sound-Tracker and later Pro-Tracker, on the PC I use
Fast-Tracker

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

I don't think I have reached it yet, but in two new unreleased modules
I have made on the PC where I think I'm at the peak of my ability for now.

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

:) There are alot of tunes I have made in the past that I rather forget
I will not make a list coz it would just be too many.

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

Well.. just turn the music off next time you look at a demo and you
will discover that it all turns pretty boring. I wold say it's 50%
of the experience.

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

I wouldn't say that I do it professionally now but I used to in the past
nowadays I compose mainly for fun and personal use.

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

What can I say .... Some good, some bad :)

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

It depends on how you see things... You can't really compare Amiga mods
with PC music coz of the limited channels on the Amiga. I guess Guitar slinger
by Jorgen Liljedahl(?) on the Amiga, on the PC I really don't have any favorites but I really
like some of the tunes I have heard.

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

I have already made a CD called 'CORONA' with new music and old remastered
finished in Dec 1998

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to a lot of different styles of music like
Pink Floyd, Vangelis, Jarre, Foo fighters and so on.

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

Well I grew up in it ... I was about 12 years when we got the 64
and from there on it went to the Amiga were I was most active
in groups like The Silents, Rebels and some others.

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

Well :) not really but I wouldn't mind to be.. I haven't got any offers to
make music on the PC.

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

I would like to say hi to Olof'Blaizer'Gustavsson and all the others
in Digital Illusions all old Silents and Rebels members...
