Date of birth:

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

Interest started by playing ATARI VCS games in 1982.
First computer I've bought was a VIC-20 in the year 1983

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

VIC-20, C64, Amiga500, Amiga2000, PC (286) and currenty working with a PIII
PC. In the 80s I used to code and compose with my computers. I'm currently
just using it as a multmedia-machine. Sometimes designing webpages

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

I am nowadays a semi-professional guitarist and singer.
I wasn't into gfx, more into sound and programming

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

Sountracker on Amiga

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

???

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

Some where not well composed but funny. Everything was part of myself even if
it was not that good

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

Music focusses your attention as well as gfx!! Good coding cannot be so
easily seen - just for the experts!!!

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

Not that much. Sometimes for my band. Playing with people is more fun than
composing with your computer. But these are two different things which cannot
be compared

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

Real nice to choose from many sources

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

On Computer: Monty on the run (both parts by the greatest composer Rob Hubbard)

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

No!!!!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Blues and Jazz

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

The experience of being into the whole thing! Nowadays it seems like being far
far away

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

No!!!

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

All the guys and girls with whom I traded and shared ideas!
