Date of birth:

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

1985

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

commodore 128

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

I have allways been atracted to music and composing (I still do)

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

I don't remember the names of most of them, I think 'Fasttracker' (or something like that) was a simple music program I used a lot

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

None :-) The stuff I made when I was an amiga addict is rather simple and low quality :-)
My favourite was something called "The most wonderfull being on the face of this earth", with lots of sound and voice samples in it.

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

Most things I made in those days are awfull and bad :-)

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

Music to me was extremely important in games and even more important in demos, to me it really overpower grafix and coding, thats why I also made so many "Music Maestro's" collections of self made Amiga music.

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

Yup I am a musician, I compose many songs, have an own musicband with 8 members (we perform a lot) and I am lead singer, composer and synth man

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

wave music, midi music is no new thing and mpeg is just a compressing technique. Its not technique which makes the music, people do.

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

On the amiga? No idea :-)

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

nope thanks, I ve made better CD's since than ;-)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Too much to mention, I prefer a lot of different styles (classic, pop, rock, synth, opera, experimental,...)

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

The amiga scene was a great start to learn to work with samples and nice midi programs, my friends encouraged me to make more music and thanks to them I learned a lot.

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

nope, only music, some webdesign and photography

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

Greetings... Many demo's were not much more than greetings to other people :-)
A nice and friendly thing offcourse...
And yes, it would be nice to end this small 'interview' by greeting all (ex) amiga users all over the world, especially our ex pussy members and friends!
