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

  • My father bought a computer in the early 80ies


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

  • My father bought a ZX Spectrum early in the 80ies, and I played some games
    and used some programs on it. I actually put all our old VIDEO SYSTEM 2000 tapes
    into this database program..hehe...
    I got stuck with the spectrum for some years, and around 88,89 I got a C128.Then
    onward to Amiga. Today I am on both Amiga and PC


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

  • well, I really dont make that much music. I orginize and distribute tracks by other
    musicians thru RNO-RECORDS. Made some modules on amiga back in the day, but non were
    that good that I continued. The best one is X-PANDED, but that one was mostly made by
    ZANY/ex.IRIS just so he could have 2 tracks in the same compo :D (south sealand party 95)


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

  • When I made mods. I used ProTracker. Also tried to make some shit in Fasttracker.


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

  • XPanded :D


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

  • I bet Nobody have heard it. So it doesn't care.


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

  • Music in a DEMO is very important. Even if the coding and grafix are half ass,
    if there is a great track, the demo allways seems better.


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

  • No, just orginizing. www.po-rno.fi/records.php and check it out.


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

  • Alot of great stuff out there. Almost too much ;)


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

  • Actually, a small intro tune on a cracktro for Pinball dreams...cant remember the
    artist or the group. But it was this Travolta/Spaceballs 'ish kinda track that was
    really alive. I remember having only the cracktro on for hours just playing the track
    while doing other stuff.


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

  • No!


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • I'm currently alot into Metal. But as allways I love a great demo tune.


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

  • Alot of friends. Knowledge about computers and systems.
    Good times.


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

  • Yes I am :) Just visited BREAKPOINT 2006 Party. And planning
    on going to many more parties before I retire for good.


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

  • I want to greet espessially to ZANY,POW and SINAX.
