Date of birth:

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

my parents bought a c64 in 1991... i got some demos/intros and some contacts.
then somehow i got demo music creator and started to compose music.

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

only c64 and pc i've got.

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

i learned music in school. so this is a good reason to compose rather than
code :)

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

on c64: demo music creator
on pc: impulse tracker + scream tracker 3 + buzz

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

huh, hard question...
maybe my best is the tune of the "a place called universe" conspiracy intro.
but it is not a 4 chanel mod :)

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

yes, there are a lot of music :)
in the first times the starting of the music composing was hard. i found myself
the composer programs out, so those musics are the beginning...

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

The music gives "the feeling" (or athmosphere) of a demo/game/etc..
Without music a demo is not a demo, it is a big zero :) I think the
musician's work is the most important (after the graphician/designer.)
Hm, it is not true... code/art/music... if one is missing, the production is
empty, it has no value... erhm, am i compliciant? :)

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

yeah, i'm still composing both on c64 and pc. only for the demoscene.

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

Nowadays, the mp3/ogg are very familiar. I still like mod's but i like
good mp3's with vocals, etc... but they are not the same category. Each
format has its category, i think it is not a good thing to compare them...
and each category has its feeling :)

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

on c64: p.r.i. /oxyron, jeff /camelot, mitch and dane,

on pc: jeroen tel, jester /sanity, olof gustafsson, michiel van den bos, and
a lot more

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

maybe... i'm working at a radio station and it takes a lot of my time. so
making a cd is in my future plans only...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

currently? erhm... hungarians: anima sound system, anorganik, hot jazz band
others: machinae supremacy, depeche mode, a lot more...

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

friendship, feeling, the first steps...

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

yes.

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

greetings to the whole demoscene. guys, make demos/intros/musics/gfx to make me
happy :)
