Date of birth:

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

Around 1993. I don't know why but I wanted a computer so I bought a C64. I
mostly used it to play games but after a while I started coding in BASIC as
well.

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

Started with a C64 which broke. Then got an A500 which also broke. Currently I
own an A1200.

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

I started making music when I realised that I could, but I also make code,
some gfx, ASCII-art etc.

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

The first program I used was SoundTracker but all my real modules have been
made using MusicLineEditor. Sometimes I use StoneTracker to make drum patterns.

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

I'm not really sure what my goal is but in any case I certainly haven't reached
it yet.

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

Well, I recently made my 300th module and a lot of these are just plain
worthless. I'm not sure if I would like to forget them though.

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

I appreciate music in general so of course I like games and demos with good
music. However, in my opinion these aren't very common.

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

Yes, I'm still composing. Leisure purposes only. I wouldn't mind working with
music on a professional level but I'm not quite there yet.

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

Don't know. I mostly listen to older music.

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

Sorry, there are too many.

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

I've never done a cd before but it's possible that I will some day. No real
plans though.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Vangelis, JM Jarre, Brian Eno, Dead Can Dance, Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Ennio
Morricone...

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

I've never been involved in any scene so; not much I guess.

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

No.

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

I've just made my first Aminet releases. I anyone's interested check out
Bones.lha and Paladin.lha in mods/sets.
