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

Somewhere in the mid eighties, I started out with a mxs computer.
Got bored with it and bought a amiga 500..

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

msx1 (philipsvg8020) - playing games, coding a little
amiga 500 - started out with my music, tried coding it, fucked it up.
amiga 1200 - did strictly music on it, watch demo's for the rest of the
time, and did some ascii in between.
pc (p200) - fucking on the net, testing out photoshop, and still doing music

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

i dunno.. I started out on my a500 with protracker and dpaint, but I guess
music is more my thing, although I'm doing some gfx on my pc now..

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

Protracker ofcourse, and fasttracker on the freaking pc, although I prefer
protracker above everything.

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

RamTamTam - the remix.. dopest tune I've ever made..

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

can't tell, I've forgotten....

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

music in a demo is essential, it completes the whole demo.. music in a game
is ok for an intro.. not throughout the whole game...

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

I'm still making music for fun 'cause that's what it's all should be about..

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

I couldn't be bothered with any of them.. ofcourse wav is essential, but
the rest.. if people like them that's ok with me..

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

I don't know if I have any.. and If I have I can't remember it..

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

we already have.. celtic made 2 cd's with bs! audio on it.. these things
can't be bought.. infact.. I don't know if there are any left..

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Rashaan Roland Kirk (jazz, mortimer told me to buy his cd.. it's freaking
great!)
Red Man
soundbombing - the rawkuss compilation cd with some dope underground hiphop.

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

nothing

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

not really.. i just make music, I don't think about the scene in a big
way, so I really don't consider myself to be a part of it..

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

just wanna say big up to the whole black sista crew -
celtic,radavi,kuu,mortimer twang,
peace to Pete-E,
Trivial,Ramon,Hollywood,Infant,Tycoon,Iso,thefoxII,Funki,Prodigy..
and massive respect to every single bs! fan..

keep it original, we do..
