Date of birth:

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

I got my first VIC 20 back in the mid 80's and then andvanced through C 64 to
Amiga 500. The gaming really started my interest.

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

Amiga 500 was the first machine I did any music with. I also used a Korg DW
6000 analoge synth that I connected to the Amiga via a Midi interface.

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

I've always had a great interest in music, especially electronic music and I
still have.

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

Soundtracker, Noisetracker.

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

I would say "My first house".

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

All my early works sucked! ;-)

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

The music is very important. A good demo (gfx etc) without good music is like
a good painting with a lousy frame!

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

No I have no time nowadays.

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

Great! I really listen to alot more music since the dawn of mp3!

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

Hard to remember any but I allways loved the music of groups like Scoopex,
Red Sector, Fairlight and Phenomena.

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

No I haven't that much material.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Depeche Mode, Morrissey, New Order, Smashing Pumpkins, Massive Attack, Kent...
etc.

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

Lots of friends and lots of fun!

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

No not at all.

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

Hello to all former Elite Inc. members! I know alot of you went to Shining
later on.
