Date of birth:

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

It started because our family has had computers at home since I was 6 years
old. That is 1984.

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

A SVI, a 8086, a 486, a p133, a pII 450, and now a Athlon XP 1800+.
In the early days (up to p133) played games, and I started coding
on the 8086. Started making music on the 486 in Fasttracker 1.

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

Piano lessons I guess. And the fact that I suck at drawing.

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

Protracker, Fasttracker 1, Fastrtracker 2, and nowadays mainly cubase and
our home-made tracker.

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

Goal?

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

No, the tunes that are less good are always unserious tunes, and even with
serious tunes, I usually only put from 30mins up to a few hours into a tune.

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

Setting the mood and pace. for demos I really dig good sync.

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

Only for leisure, and yes, I compose a lot. Every day even.

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

? I frankly don't understand the question. But I prefer for intros softsynths,
and otherwise I prefer to use midi-equipment (as I said earlier, I use cubase),
so for demos, .mp3 is the prior choice.

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

Yes. But it depends, if you mean demoscene-wise I don't know, I don't listen
to scene music at all kinda. Only SID-music. When it comes to "real" music
I'd go for stuff like. hmm.

Grieg - Hall of the mountain king. Man is that tune fat or what?
Apoptygma Berzerk - Eclipse, my fav on the dancefloor
Covenant - Like Tears In rain. Apocalyptic music is nice :)
Funker Vogt - Machine Zeit. It just doesn't get better than this.

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

No, why would I? Like anyone would care.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation, Covenant, Weezer, Saft, And One, Welle Erdball,
Knorkator, Shpongle, Funker Vogt, S.P.O.C.K, DMX Krew, Lars Demian, HIM....
lots more.

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

The amiga scene is what pulled me into the scene since I had a friend that
was an amiga scener.

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

Yes, recently I've made "we are cryonics" and "cryonics we are" together
with java/cryonics, two different 64k intros for asm01 and dh01, respectively.
And I also make music for quite a lot of other groups

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

All my friends in cryonics and noice. Lator, Jimmy, Haake, Zyrax, the stupid
girls MrsCarrot and Euphoria.
