Date of birth:

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

It all started in 1982 when I was 10 years old. The older brother a
schoolmate bought a Commodore 64 with Dataset. Wow! The first ever computer
I got my fingers on. It was really fascinating what that little grey box used
to show on that old TV set. At this time we used to play all the games we
could get and as we didn't have the money to buy all of them in original, we
used to swap cracked copies of them at school. But when I realized that little
kids like me started to code their own programs, that whole thing got sense
for me. I used that C64 up to 1991, even thought I started in 1988 serious
Amiga business as well! GOSH, that where the days! In 1993 my Amiga harddisk
crashed and I changed to PC...

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

C64 (code, gfx), Amiga (code, gfx, music) - Commodore rulez!

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

well, i tried it all, but then, i failed it all, hehe ;-)

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

ProTracker and Fasttracker only!

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

none jet, my masterpiece still has to come ;-)

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

na, i like all of them, as i made them, badly lost all my amiga tunes in a
harddisk crash in 1993 :-(((

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

there must be power and a good melody in it, then it's cool, imho

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

yeah, i still try to get some songs together, mainly for myself to express
feelings and stuff...

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

new efforts for new generations! ;-)

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

uh, all the songs from Audiomoster and Walkman rocked a lot! i also liked some
of the songs of Heatbeat and Uncle Tom...

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

na!!! noone would listen to that crap hehe :-)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Black Metal stuff only!!!

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

well, a good time! great friends, and dreams we tried to make reality :-)

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

sure! nothing stops a real scener ;-)

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

yeah! all my buddies in Scoopex, Creators, Damones, Surprise! Productions and of
cause the nice ppl on the irc ;-)
