Date of birth:

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

In forth grade (i was 10 years old). 1979

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

ABC-80 Luxor¨- Sold
IBM Compatible - 1982 (its in my closet :-))
Amiga 1000 - Sold
Amiga 500 - In my closet
Noname PC - upgraded every now and then....

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

In highschool I took lots of clases in music, attended chiores and a little
band. I bought a couple of synthesizers aswell.
In the early days i coded a lot but I think making music was what i liked
most (and where I had a chance to compete)

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

Whuu. Cant remember. I think it was in protracker v.something.....

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

I never did for more than 10 miniutes :-) But for some reason I mostly made
chiptunes, and my chip-tunes are the tunes i like the best :-)

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

Not really.

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

Music is everything! I cant imagine a demo or game without music - bizarre...

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

Not at alle :-)

9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as

mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?
Its not like in the old days .-)
1. On computers - Midi stinks
2. mpeg3 is cool - but its only copying CDs
3. Wave stinks..
4. The modules made in PC-trackers tends to lack quality compared to the
old amiga-days :-) (in my point of view)

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

Its so long time ago, that I really cat remember the specific tunes, but
the following composers were my favorites

Lizardking
Mantronix
Laxity/Kefrens

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

Nope..

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Hmm - everything :-)
All the way from the pumpiest GOA TRANCE to Jazz

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

A good question. I think it gave me some kind of feeling, that i wasn't
wasting my time.

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

No. My job takes more than all my time .-)

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

Everyone in Talent
