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

It started in 1984, with Commodore Vic20, 1987 was the year when I discovered
Soundtracker 1.0 on Amiga and there begun my interest in musiccomposing.

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

I have preserved both Amiga 500 and 1200, I have the 1200 to remake old
Soundtracker songs to CD-tracks, look out for them from
http://www.hypersound.ch, I already released som tracks in Synthesizer
Dance Vol.2, 3 and a Megamix albums, Synthesizer Dance Vol. 4 is released
after new year!

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

I have experience from musicmaking from my family, my grandpa released an album
before he died(hopefully I will too ;), but I still make some gfx and coding
on my Internet sites.

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

Different Amiga trackers, Soundtracker, Protracker, Octalyser, and now Cubase5
only.

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

Several, but I cant remember them all, in nowadays I'm most satisfied with
"Wonderland" you can download and listen to it at my homepage.

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

There are several tunes that have been put in the trash can, reason: they
didn't sound good and I didn't want to waste any energy on those.

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

It's half the experience or more!

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

Yes offcourse!, for professional, leisure and fun!!! :)

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

Great!, mp3 gives my the opportunity to give all people in the world to listen
to my music, and gives more popularity.

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

They all are too many to discuss in this interview...

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

Yepp, working on in now...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Laserdance, Cosmosis, Astral Projection, all dance/trance music and more....

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

Popylarity and Experience

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

Nope, sorry but I have a real work now and Record deal, so I simply havent got the time...

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

I want to greet all the previously members of Virtual,
feel free to contact me for discussion of older times :),
greetings to crown/cryptoburners and all others that I have forgotten, PEACE!
