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

  • My father bought a Commodore 64 in 1983. I've been interested ever since.


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

  • Commodore 64: Gaming, programming, making music.
    Amiga 500: Making music, programming, gaming.
    Amiga 1200: Programming, making music.
    I686: Programming, gaming.


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

  • Because I thought I was most succesful in making music. I've done quite a lot
    of coding and some gfx as well, though.


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

  • SoundTracker, NoiseTracker, Oktalyzer, ProTracker, OctaMED. In particular
    ProTracker for MODs and OctaMED for MIDI stuff.


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

  • BrainChoir was my first song I was really happy with.


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

  • There are many of them made in 1992. Mostly because they remind me of other
    stupid things I did those days.


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

  • Music is really important in giving the product atmosphere. If a demo or a
    game has awful music it ruins the entire product. Good music can also make
    a product otherwise not that good better.


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

  • Yes, I'm still composing. For leisure for now.


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

  • MPEG is a great way to distribute music in good quality. Waves are necessary
    for editing purposes. MIDI is the original format for controlling synthesizers.


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

  • I'm not sure if you mean MODs by other people, MODs by me, songs by "real
    bands" or what.. But I'll choose "MODs by me" here. Some of my best mods
    ever are BrainChoir, Luminenssi, Meeting, Pasteurised, Sutju and Ways.


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

  • No, I'm not going to remaster my MODs that are not MOD versions of my MIDI
    songs. It is possible though that I will release the original synth versions
    if someone gives me the ability to do that.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Right now I'm listening to Jazzanova. Stuff I've been listening lately...
    Tosca, Faze Action, I-F, London Elektricity, Ian Pooley, Autechre,
    Dave Clarke.. to name a few.


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

  • It gives me a way to express myself. I've also met nice people through it -
    my best friends actually.


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

  • Yes.


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

  • Keep up the vibe! ..and visit http://www.jormas.com/ :)
