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

I guess it started back in the Vic 20 and Commodore 64 days back in the
mid-eighties. It was a fantastic computer. Back then I only played games on
them.

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

Commodore 64, then I bought an Commodore 128 (flop) and finally the Amiga 500.
Later I bought an Amiga 2000. At that point me and a couple og other guys
started up the group Rebels.

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

My father is a jazz drummer, and I went to a music school as well, so I have
always had an interest in making an playing music.

Pro-tracker is the one I made most of my music with.
