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

Well in 2012 is when I think I started to go on computers, to play the Roblox, as what else are ya going to do.

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

Well they were all windows, all windows 7, all laptops, and they all broke. The last Windows 7 one I used was in the summer or 2018, played meep city, played "Build a Boat to Survivor's Island" that's how I learned to use f3x building tools. I forgot how that one broke, then a windows 10 laptop which I used from late december 2018 to late december 2022, that one had fallen to the floor about 7 months before i changed it which broke the screen, keyboard, 2/3rds of the USB ports, but the charger, HDMI, and other USB all still worked, and the audio jack became more reliable afterwards. It was unable to connect to the wifi which was located on the literal next room so I ended up getting a new laptop, which is the one I still use, Windows 10 of course. Unfortuneately I'm not like Minomus so I haven't been ship of thesiesing a desktop for 3 decades.

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

Big Jim of course, and Minomus was the guy who got me hooked. Coding is something I haven't really done because it's flat out impossible, Spanish is probably an easier language than that one RM keeps on wanting me to learn, rust. For GFX, I still try to do stuff visually, I do a lot of "graphical" stuff, like ms paint, cel painting, blender, the whole schebang.

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

OpenMpt, never used FL studio, never used Ableton, one of my classes wanted me to use a program I already forgot the name of, it was a browser thing, but I never used it, I also rarely turned in assignments, which is probably a bad thing, but I'm like that with every class.

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

None.

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

I mean, all of them, but my technique is to have a strong concept, and the concept exists outside of the song, and I have not finished any of the concepts yet. There's only two, the Dead Dog Maze thing I haven't done, the not Dead Dog Maze funny Close to Me - The Cure I haven't done either. BUT I HAVE SHOT THE FIRST SCENE! The only issue of course is that im in europe, and will be for the next 35 days or so.

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

Mucho.

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

Uhh, Well it's not professional, and I'm not sure if it's leisure either. For the composing part, it just comes and goes, whenever Nicole does her MC2, I'll probably compose for that, and probably get 40th from the fact that the participant numbers will increase 10 fold.

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

Idk.

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

No.

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

Well I asked Nicole to make one for MC1 and she said no :(.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

None.

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

Well nothing. Nothing but getting mad at the Minecraft Beta Youtuber "Paladin Ryan" for somehow knowing Commodore AND THE CONCEPT OF A 4K DEMO(IM SORRY BUT HOW, HE'S AN AMERICAN!).But not know what the game Lemmings is, or even the Commodore Amiga. I swear, those minecraft youtubers love talking about how Espernet is a very real thing, but like, didn't Espernet cause m0d to go into therapy or something? Also m0d told me that Espernet caused a flood of young children to enter into TMA looking for minecraft mods and just causing a general wreck everywhere, but he didn't remember what year, so I tried looking for literally any pieces of coroborating evidence that'd show the year too, but nothing turned up. No mentions of Minecraft in a way that'd be related to the surge of users on TMA forums, no mention of the person "Notch" on the forums. Nothing on Youtube of a Minecraft kid a decade ago complaining about how The Mod Archive is a scam with no Minecraft mods, or even a video from a modern Minecraft youtuber talking about the time a random music site got flooded with Minecraft kids looking for mods by 20 or sos, not even our favorite Paladin Ryan! Nothing on the news forum about m0d talking about how the site went down due to a DDOS or a surge of traffic, just him saying that the site goes down from matience. Later I decided to search the Minecraft IRC logs from our behated Espernet, and I found people mentioning Minecraft mods, and even C418 mentioning Milkytracker before saying that he actually uses I already forgot the name of the program (which checks out with his minecon 2012 talk). But no m0d, or Greg, or Redheat, or Mod Archive. You know thinking about it, I should probably just ask Saga Musix, he'd know.

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

THERE'S A SCENE?!?!?

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

Hi RM, hi Nicole, hi cs127, hi the people of those 3 discords that are vauguely related to tracking, I don't feel like writing the rest it's 11:50 PM, or 23:51.
