Date of birth:

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

I became interested in computers probably in 1992.

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

Commodore 64, of course. At first I was just using - playing watching and so on, then I started making - particularly music.

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

Music was always one of my passions, it wasn't too hard to guess what do i want to do on my computer. I have been creating music since i remember, not only the computer one. I play the guitar, drums, bass guitar and I sing.

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

I tried to experiment with some programs on Amiga, but Protracker 4.0 was my favourite one.

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

Hehe, really simple question. I don't like any of my modules :) Sadly, the best tunes I created were made without using a computer...

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

No, there's no such a tune. Every thing I did was just a step to another part of my musical consciousness. And every step is equally important.

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

Obviously, There's no good demo or game without music. It creates climate, it draws emotions.

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

Yes, I'm still composing but it's just for my pleasure :)

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

There's a lot of good stuff if you know where to find it...

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

My favourites are: Metallica "Nothing else matters", Alice in Chains "Down in a hole", Tool "The Pot", "Vicarious" and "Forty six & two". But if you mean the computer ones, I was always admiring XTD's ( "Reassurance" ) and Jogeir Liljedahl's ( almost all ) tunes.

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

No, not really, Just like I said before - I create music for myself.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Especially Tool. I think it's the best band I have ever heard, but maybe it will change in the future :)

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

It gave me a lot of fun, I had the pleasure to meet many wonderful people, write with them, have fun at parties, It's unforgettable. The part of the scene will always be deep inside me till the end of my days...

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

No, not really, I don't have time for this. Work, studies, family - That's my whole life now.

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

Yeah, I would like to greet my beloved wife - Kate. I love you babe :) Greets also go to all Amiga users, sceners and musicians. Try to keep the scene alive!
