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

  • My father bought an Atari ST in 1989.


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

  • The Atari ST and a lent Amiga Commodore 500, for doing tracked music and
    pixel-painting.


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

  • Music touched my soul more than graphics did.


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

  • Noisetracker and various other trackers on Atari. On PC I've been using
    Fasttracker 2 and Impulse Tracker. Lately, I do enjoy working
    with Buzz (http://www.buzz2.com).


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

  • "National Pride" (remix). It's the only piece of music I've written
    which lasts for 14 minutes. It's a journey.


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

  • "Overdose". Some real eurodance crap.


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

  • It should fit to the visual side of it.


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

  • Still composing. Running a Drum'n'Bass label called Santorin rec.
    (http://www.santorin.de) and working as semi-professional producer.


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

  • It's great. Access to music for everyone. The way it should be.


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

  • 4mat "Back to Blue"
    Moby "Knulla Kuk"
    Nitin Sawhney "Homelands"


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

  • I already did a Best-of Audio CD called "One Night".
    It's available on my homepage.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Breakbeat Era, Ennio Morricone and various DJ-Mixtapes.


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

  • The Atari scene mostly gave me friendships lasting for years.
    I'm still in contact with everyone.


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

  • Just a bit in the tracked-music community.


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

  • Keep checking http://www.simonv.com for updates
    and more information about my work.
