Date of birth:

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

It all started when I got a C64 at the end of 1984.

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

C64: Coding & composing, occasionally some graphics.

Atari 1040STFM: Midi composing in Cubase.

Never owned an Amiga myself but had one borrowed for about a year.

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

It's what I was best at?

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

C-64: A bunch, among them Future Composer, Voice Tracker & DMC 3 & 4.

Amiga: Noise Tracker...I think, it was a long time ago.

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

There are a few like Furious Path & Revoked Frenzy. (SIDs, not modules)

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

Most of my mods were really horrible.

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

The music is very important.
Badly selected music (no neccesarily bad music) can decrease the overall
impression of a very well designed & coded production.

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

Yes, I'm what you could call a bedroom-composer.

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

Music is always music no matter the format.

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

Some SIDs that spring to mind are:
Ocean Loader & Parallax by Martin Galway,
Lightforce & Master of Magic by Rob Hubbard,
That Newspress-tune by Goto 80,
Assid by RaveGuru
and many many many more that I will probably remember as soon as I've mailed
this back to you :)

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

I have been thinking about that yes.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Too many to mention.

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

Lots of pleasure, parties & good friends.

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

Sort of. My time is limited since I became a father.

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

Greetings to everyone who knows/knew me.
