Date of birth:

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

I guess it was in 1988, about 15 years ago when I got my first computer. A
Commodore 16.

I can't remember why I bought a Commodore 16. I wanted to play games and I
thing the Commodore 64 was too big for a beginner like me :)

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

Commodore 16 was my first computer

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

Hmmm, I really don't know. I can remember I heard this Danish musicdisk from
DJ DiscoLeif, and I thought that it could be fun to make music myself.

This was years later on Amiga 500. But I can't remember how I got my hands
on trackers.

I have made some gfx and coding but making music was much more fun.

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

Protracker 3.10 was my favorite. Nearly all my modules were composed in
Protracker.

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

Hard question. After years of composing with Protracker I felt that it was
time to try composing with real synths.

I have uploaded some of my best productions to this site. But my favorites
must be Bassline, Lost in time, Liam Style and for traditionally mods: Swap
and Plasma. That must have been some of my goals.

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

Hehe, yah! Tune1-2 was too long and boring.

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

I'll say it's the music that creates the atmosphere in a demo. Good timing
as in Kefrens Desert Dream.

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

No, I can't find the time anymore. It's sad because I really liked it.

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

No comments

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

My favorites tunes must be Desert Dream part I and II, some of Budbrains
produtions, Stolendata, prestige.crack.04 by NAO. I can listen to this tune
for hours :)

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

No, I think it's best to leave the songs as is.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Underworld, Prodigy, Carl Cox

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

I HOWE LOT OF MEMEROYS. Just listing to old Amiga demosongs bring back a
very special feeling. I would be without them

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

No, I was only active in the Amiga Elite modem scene

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

Yah, I would like to greet Energy, Ra!st, Raven, Kronion, Gargoyle and the
many others who supported Illegal Connection BBS. Too bad this scene does
exist anymore. I wouldn't miss it for the world :)
