Date of birth:

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

It was in 1986 when my little brother had the commodore 64 for christmas! I
then started playing games and realised there was more than just that and
later I got my first Amiga in 1988/89

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

C64 (sold), A500 (Still go it!) and my A4000 which I still use at the moment.

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

I´ve always liked to do both. But music is more alive and back then the Amiga
was the best computer for digitized music. Samples etc. It was just great to
achive your own composition just for fun!

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

I started with the "trackers". The one I used most was ProTracker.

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

I guess it was the module that brought me inside the Amiga (demo) scene.
I didn´t really aimed for that goal but it just happened when a friend of
mine sent some of my music to a group called Admirals. I feel that I still
have many goals to achive in this domain!

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

No. I´ve made crap and funny joke-based music but I still feel it´s just
something I wanted to do and just being productive. Something of my own...

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

First of all it gives atmosphere and rythme, especially if there has been a
co-operation between the demo designer(s) and the music maker(s). Secondly it
raises emotions among the people watching the Demo.

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

Not really, I haven´t really got the time at the moment. Though time to time
I might get some notes together for fun.

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

It´s going more professional. I prefered the way when people could do nice
tunes without having to buy expensive equipment.

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

Phew.. One of my favorite composer is Martin Iveson and my favourite tunes
go back to the good'ol dayz...

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

Nope. If I had that kind of audio equipment I'd probably do some new stuff.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Jamiroquai, Rock bands (like slash's snakepit or aerosmith), Daft Punk,
Santana, Jimi Hendrix and lots others.. good music is good music whoever does
it doesn´t matter, it all depends of the listener.

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

Memories & Moments I'll never forget. I'm still waiting for the Amiga to
Comeback!

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

I'm too busy, but when there's enough activity I'll be kicking butt!

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

Well you of course you! French fry! ;) Uhm.. All the people who knows me in
the scene. Thanks to all Mystic, Bomb Squad, Style, Humane, Jormas and
Bermuda Triangle members for the unforgettable experiences!!
