Date of birth:

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

My dad bought be an Amiga 500 on which I tried out some tracker programs.
I got my interest from pam/da jormas since I was a friend of his little
brother's. The year we actually bought the first computer was around
1989-1993.

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

Commodore 16, MSX, Amiga 500, 4 different pc's so far. I played games
and made music. I've always been into music and "demo scene".

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

It is something that offers the things I need in my life to keep on going.
I'm not very good at drawing and neither smart enough with the mathematical
stuff and coding.

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

Protracker, Fasttracker, MADTRACKER. Cakewalk for midi sequences.
Madtracker is the one I prefer to use mostly since I like to make music on
the tracker way.

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

This is a tough question. Let's say I haven't reached it completely yet :)

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

No, not at all.

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

More than 50% of the interest comes by the musics in both.

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

Yes I still compose music and it would all be professional I guess if
someone gave me the money for all the equipment needed for being one.
Expensive hobby. I'm going to study music so I guess someday I will be a
professional.

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

I think the scene is not as organized as it used to be and there are no more
those really good music groups ALIVE. They are still somewhere out there but
not active enough. The artists have not disappeared anywhere, I know lots
of people still composing music.

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

Delerium feat Sarah McLachlan - Silence (dj tiesto in search of sunrise remix)

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

I've done that already.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Ferry Corsten, DJ Tiesto, most of those famous euro-trance artists.
And to mention some not so techno: Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Tori Amos,
Sinead O'Connor.

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

How to make music and to respect people doing demos and graphics on them.

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

Yes indeed!

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

-Da JoRMaS, especially Vesuri.

-My best friend Arto who is going to be a future
talent in trance scene. I guess he got his main interest by me, it's so
damn nice to see new artists with so huge enthusiasm.
