Date of birth:

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

Back in 1983-84 with my education as a computer programmer. Then the
A1000 came out, I think it was 86'-87', and I bought one with the money
of two PC's today.

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

I did have a C128 very shortly, for about two weeks or so. I exchanged it
for the Amiga.

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

RWO, that is a family friend of mine did the Gfx, I couldn't get any nice
results, so I stayed with the music. I think that it was a Danish radio guy,
named Kim Schumacher, that always played Italo stuff, and High Energy music -
that got me interested in making music.

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

Hmmm... I really can't remember all the programs, but some of them:
Soundtracker v1.0 was the first tracker I started with. There was also:
Noicetracker, Soundmachine from Razmo .... and many others.

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

All the music for the Kefrenz Megademos. The Megamixes was also new and
exiting for me.

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

Some of my first stuff, where I was playing around to know the music programs
better. Can't really name titles

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

Important, like commercials today, where the music is making the mood.

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

In the beginning of the 90' - I dropped my A1000, and bought a PC. At that
time, there was not any music programs for the PC, so there was a short period
for me, waher I only was DJ'ing all around in Denmark with my mobile discoteque.
The kick for me came with Cubase. At that time I also bought my first synth, a
Roland JV80. Now I have my own studio, where I'm into different styles of Music.
Mainly Deep House, but also pop, dance. After a very long waiting, are thinks
with record deals now beginning to move. Have made some remixes for Danish
artist, and now I have a project comming out on Brother Brown records
(Deep House).

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

I don't like MP3. Thats only because of the sound quality, so I'm not one of
those MP3 download guys.

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

Really can't remember, its a very long time since I have heard some of the
good old tracker music.

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

I have heard some of my music for the Kefrenz MEgademos. Some of it I liked
when I heard it again. But I don't know right now, if I will remake some of
it.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Pascal FEOS, Humate, Infernal, Yazoo, Artificial Funk, Depeche Mode,
Mark Sheeve - to name some of them.

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

The Input to continue making music.

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

No unfortunatly not, my A1000 is hidden away.

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

RWO, Razmo.
