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

Actually I do everything: dtp, music, video editing, animations, html (web)
presentations... I use amiga & pc for everyday work - Amiga for i-net, music &
dtp and PC for video editing, web (html&flash) presentations, art (Photoshop)
and scanning.

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

OctaMED SoundStudio V1.3c

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

I often make music several days and end work when I think I like it.

Of course - when I was young(er) I created love-song module to these days my
girlfriend ;]

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

Top value.

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

Both.

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

I love mp3 because samples (instruments) are copyrighted and can't be used
anywhere and song can be heard by anyone.

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

There are some of them I'd mention -

Communism is dead.mod (that appeared on the first techno album "Teknoactive"
ever released in my country) DzabeBabe.mod (that appeared on the secomd techno
album "RaveTheBrain") Malo Jache.mod (song that was top1 on "Modulacije",
Belgrade radio show for 12 months (!) in 1994.) ... and many others...

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

Yep. Check djnick.co.yu for more info.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

A lots. And it depends on the moment. Sometimes I listen ambiental stuff (like
Future Sound of London), sometimes goa-trance, sometimes minimal-techno and
sometimes industrial (Rammstein)...

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

A lots of ideas for music. I often watch amiga/c64 and PC demo scene & enjoy in
good stuff.

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

Nope as I'm currently in the army (and will be in next 8 months) :(

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

HiHo to all sceners around the globe! (sounds stupid but this one comes first
to my mind).

p.s. sorry for short answers, I'm in a hurry as I'll be here just tomorrow and
girlfriend can't wait ;)
