Date of birth:

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

1990 or 91, I don't know exactly

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

Amiga 500. Mainly playing, and first worse Protracker Mods.
Amiga 1200 with HDD. Coding in AMOS, Protracker, OctaMED Pro (Midi Sequencing).
Since then AMD PC's (films, photos, make mp3 music).

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

Music is my life, the rest also is only hobby and makes for me only half that
way a lot of fun. In addition, music is for me the best medium to express my
feelings and stories.

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

First the Protracker and similar clones, Then very long OctaMED Pro.
Today mainly Madtracker2 and occasional still OctaMED Pro.

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

My goal always lies in front of me, how should I develop further otherwise? ;)

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

Oh no, I love all my pieces, also the worsest. And there are many worce, primary
from the Protracker time ;)

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

Simply imagine a music video without music. This isn't possible. I think a demo
or game without music is how a music video without music: worse!

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

Yes, or course! Professional purposes are the aim but it still is at the moment
Hobby. My latest Tracks are on Besonic.com.

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

Kick midi in the ton, this doesn't really bring pleasure! Wave is okay, but too
big to spread, and what mp3 means for us noncommercial musicians I don't have to
explain, right? :)

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

Own or others? :) For the own it's difficult to say... but I otherwise love
Jogeir Liljedahl's music!

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

Yes, it is even almost ready. I would say at this time: still approximately 2
months. Besonic.com offers a very good insight to the CD.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Mainly of the free mp3 scene. Everything what you can find on Besonic.com,
mp3.de, mp3.com and so on. All in all Underground. I hate the todays comercial
music!

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

A set of beautiful memories of good games and unusual but good music. Both the
Amiga and the C64!

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

Not really. I am still typed in at nuance but sleep there more then working... :)

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

Yeah! Greets to Suxxs, Cie, Raven, Mc Andy, freQvibez (ex arrogance) and
all I forgot or scene groups I know but never meet personally.
