Date of birth:

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

Having fun with computer games, the next step in evolution after the atari
console, year 1985

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

c-64, amiga 500, pc 100MHz, pc 300MHz, pc 1300 MHz ATHLON and now p4 2,6 ghz.

Only the amiga and the p4 are still in use.

c-64: games
amiga500: games and music
pc 100-300mhz: warez trading
pc 1300mhz: gamez, music and 3d-anims

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

I think this was a question about the talent. gfx and coding were not my thing.

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

All kinds of trackers. during my active time from 1988 till 1993 i´ve used
Sound Tracker and Fast Tracker

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

"JUST A DREAM" and "SUCKERS GONNA PAY"

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

There are several tunes that i wouldn´t like to remember, cause all of them
started with a cool idea and were not finished. waste of time

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

30%

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

We made a remix of one of our old tunes. this happened for a music compo.
(evoke 03, "REVENGE") i still compose for leisure purpose.

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

Like tracker files there are loads of kewl tunes released using these standards
i think its not a question of mpg or wave but the tune itself.

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

See point 5

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

Yes. we plan a remix-album of our best tunes.
Maybe re-composed with renoise-tracker or reason 2.5

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Nothing special. sometimes mainstreams, sometimes hiphop.. Depending on what
fits best to my taste at that moment

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

The amiga scene was the right place to meet weird people, having a lot of fun.
It became a large amount of my leisure.

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

Not really. sometimes i try to liven up doing some tunes. But mostly there is
not enough time to finish.

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

I would like to greet all these kewl freaks of the old days (1988-1993) who
shared this chapter of my life with me.
