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

1982 - Vic20 made home computers affordable...

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

Vic20 - crashed
Amiga500 - sold
Amiga1200HD - still have, still works

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

Love making music. Still do today. Also made calcs for earlt 3D-vector graphics.

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

SoundTracker and my favorite ProTracker. Today I use CuBase and MadTracker on PC.

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

Probably 'The Hypothesis' and 'It Still Is', which have never been published.

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

Yes, some were very experimental and never published luckily. Some rock-like tunes came out pretty bad. Amiga was best in the pop/house/techno scene.

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

The value is great. The best music you hardly notice when its on, but you miss it if its off.

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

Still composing for leisure purposes. I play hard/heavy rock.

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

It is easy to make good music on todays computers with unlimited CPU, mem etc. Try to make good music on limited mem, CPU etc, its difficult.

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

My favorite Amiga composer was SLL, who wrote a lot of great tunes, and always was very innovative in his music.

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

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Dream Theater.

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

It started me up, gave me an opportunity to develop my skills and try out different styles of music.

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

No, havent been for 13 years or so

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

I greet the former HCS 4220 members.
I give respect to everyone who contributes with free and legal music, software, services etc to the general public.
