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

  • Got interested of games and coding on some old CP/M computer in the 80's and
    soon after that started to do stuff on early PC's. I started being actively
    involved with demoscene around '91-'92.


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

  • Some old CP/M computer, bunch of PC's. Coded and played games and started to
    make some effects.


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

  • Actually I'm mostly a coder although I have done graphics and music too (and
    still do, sometimes).


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

  • Scream Tracker 2, FastTracker I, Scream Tracker 3, Impulse Tracker 2. Plus
    various smaller unknown trackers for more peculiar formats (like adlib tunes
    etc).


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

  • What goal?


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

  • --


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

  • A demo or game without any sound or music is almost always a lot less
    interesting even that music isn't mandatory.


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

  • Yes, for leisure purposes.


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

  • They are ok.


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

  • Not really.


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

  • Maybe.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Varies from day to day.


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

  • --


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

  • Yes.
