Date of birth:

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

I had always interest on electronic material, all sort, all kind. it was 1984-85
when I met with a spectrum 48k.

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

Alot. hmm.. different types of spectrum computers, commodore 64, amiga 500 1.2,
amiga 500 1.3, amiga 1200, amiga 4000, amiga 3000 (got it later than 4000 :) ),
amiga 600, amiga 500 plus and sad but true pc series.. I bought a pc 166mmx first,
many many lame upgrades to get them more speedy (but in real they won't), now I
use a p4 1.9ghz.

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

Hmm.. I am confused with this question??!?!?! :)

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

i still use (maybe u won't believe) on my a3000 octamed v4. but ofcourse not
just that, I use propellerheads reason (since 3 months),logic audio platinum.
And I still use protracker too :)

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

I didn't reached to my goal, bcoz my goal was composing for an amiga game, but
there were much better musicians at those times.

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

No.

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

Hmm. synchronization, merging the tracks with the games/demos atmosphere..
selection of samples. there are many.. :)

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

Yes I do. generally for professional.

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

Some were always there :) ..there is no way to stop the improvement, I don't
like mpeg too much, but I used those formats many times. in some cases
listening things on hardware is always better.. (u probably know what I mean :) )

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

hmm. there were alot. some game tunes. some demo.

...maybe "gods" ? :) "commando", "last ninja", the demo "love", wow! I can't
remember those names some demo tunes of kefrens... knulla kuk!!

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

No. they were not well composed tunes :)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Kraftwerk (since 1981, still listen to them), fsol, styrofoam, chris liebing,
photek, les rythmes digitales, mirwais, ricardo villalobos etc.

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

Friends. friendship. in real I wasn't really too much in the scene. .. but the
machines gave me hundreds of knowledge, improved me in many fields.

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

No.

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

I want to greet all those guys who know me. and thank you very much for this
nice suprise.
