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

Music has always been fascinating to me... I always found coding to be
boring, graphics is actually something I am involved with now ...

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

On the Amiga... no doubt, ProTracker .. after I moved over to MIDI,
Dr.T's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer was a real breeze to use.. now I use
Cubase VST on my PC which is just wonderful

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

none... I am still searching for the magic .. but I really liked the
Sway.mod ... and lightwalk also...

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

Wild bunch... Wizard of os... a whole lot of ... :-) .. reasons are hard
to find .. well, to be honest.. we were young... did not now what to
expect from ourselves... less is often more, you know...

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

Like a good movie, it is 50% of the whole impression

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

Professionally.. and leisurely... www.uib.no/People/hhijg .. for the
latest news...

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

MPEG is both a curse and a blessing... a curse for the ones that want to
make money on their music... a blessing for those who want to be heard all
over the place...

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

Shades by Chris Hulsbeck, the SLL3-tune on the Amiga.. Crazy Comets by
Rob Hubbard, Monty on the run by Rob Hubbard (a great tune that I listened
to hundreds of times..) .. Rob was my all-time favourite... on the Amiga,
well .. I really like the work of .. what's his name again .. that Finnish
bloke who makes jazz-tunes... Heatbeat... yep...

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

Nope!!!!

FSOL, Biosphere.. a lot of experimental stuff...

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

A bunch of friends, good memories .. and the best.. the experience with
sound tweaking... and sampling...

Nope...
