Date of birth:

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

My dad bought me a vic20 back in the early 80's.

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

Vic20 - Only gaming

C64 - Mostly gaming, some music

Amiga500/1200 - Gaming until I got Soundtracker(I think it was v1.1).

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

Got a keyboard in 1978-79. It only had one sample, but that was enough for a
little boy.

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

Sound/Protracker, Digibooster, Oktamed, Future-composer, Deltamusic, Sidmon.
Some more, but who remembers them all.
In particular, Protracker.

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

Symphony of death. A co-op mod.

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

June's Journey - Terrible samples and a weak tune (read, nonexsistent).
Most of my old mods.

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

Demo - 50%
Same with games. What is an horrorgame without athmospheric
background music, sfx?

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

Still playing around with a great tracker for the pc called Renoise.
Only for leisure purposes.

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

Everything to it's use. Nowadays anyone can spread their work, both a
good and bad thing.

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

Hmmm... Jogeir Liljedahl's Overture is a good one. Guitarslinger is also a
good one. The only bad thing is that it is a rip from a band. But Jogeir's
version sound much better for some reason??

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

No.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, Children of Bodom, Emperor, Nightwish, Arch Enemy
and so on.

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

Something to do when I was younger, some friends which I still have today.

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

No.

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

My old swap-contacts in the old amigascene. Great times eh, guys!
