Date of birth:

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

I got my first computer 1987.It was a spectravideo 328, i bought
it from a friend that was getting a newer model.The interest grew
from being with friends that had computers back then.

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

Spectravideo 328,Spectravideo MSX 728, Spectravideo MSX 738,Commodore 64,
Atari ST, Atari STE.We made both demos and some games on various of
these computers.We were in various demo competitions under the atari years.

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

I made gfx and music because i was the only one who was not so good at
coding. The other members coded so i became the artist in the group.

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

Various music programs like pro-tracker and blipp blopper and almost any
good program i could get my hands on.

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

I have newer felt that i "had reached your goal" with any of them
because the most of them was done under a demo party in hurry, and
then sometimes finished later on.The best tunes was newer released
i my opinion ;).

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

The most sad thing about my tunes is that they are very often too short.
See the above question for the reason why.

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

Just as much as the gfx and coding has.

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

I compose very little these days, due to time and the fact that i almost
always composed a tune for a demo or game before and now the members are all
living so far apart and everyone has jobs and such so that it gets hard to
find the inpiration many times.

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

It's all good man!.

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

When i really want o go down memory lane i play some Last Ninja 2 remixes, hehe.

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

No i will spare people that pain.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Various metal bands but also much game/demo remixes that people do.

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

C64 scene was a wonderful time and i feel sad for those who missed it.

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

When the gang gathers sometimes we do things but not nearly as much as we
used to.

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

All the groups that know us from the past you know who you are!.
