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

Well my whole family are computer freaks except my mum (lol)
and i had no chance to escape... haha

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

My first computer ever was the Commodore VC-20, damn what a time!
I started programming in Basic n shit like that. Then I got my
Commodore C-16/+4, after that i got my C-64, Amiga 500 and CPC 464.

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

I really tried to make some GFX n Coding shit, but music is my whole life
and i started music more and more.

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

Oh lots of Trackers... mmh let me think, it was
Noisetracker, StarTrekker, and many more but my most favourite
was the Protracker 1.1b ... damn i still not what version... lol

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

I made a techno song called "Tune In - Turn Out" which was a big
Hit in germany and all over the world. It was released on No Respect Records.
Today in 2007 u still can get it by your Local Dealer!

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

Some crazy chiptunes i did.. lol

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

It doesnt matter if u do a little chiptune or a big track with
lots of samples in it... its all about how u kick it.

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

Yes ofcoz... i still work for a couple record labels out there.
"Obsessive" , "David Luebner" , "Liquid 4 Plastics" and some underground
HipHop stuff with the artist name "Phonkey Dee".

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

If i look back and see what we had and what u can do today its awesome!
My Amiga 500 had 4 Megabyte Ram and today u have Gigs!

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

Naw... if i would maybe hear em but names i cant remember.

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

Not really. I dont think so. It was just for fun.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Today i listen to House & HipHop

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

Much experience, i do appreciate much things even more than others...
I released my first record with my 4 channel Protracker on my Amiga 500.
So what u think? I will ofcoz never forget that time!

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

Naw. Today i got my PC and my Studio. But i still got my Amiga! lol
