Date of birth:

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

My first computer was a SVI-318 (Spectravideo) in 1983, this was my first start in making
music with computers.

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

Commodore64, Amiga500/600, C64 was just for gameplaying, Amiga for composing music.
I bought my first pc in 1997, after that I nearly stopped composing.

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

I've tried gfx and coding too, but it was nothing for me unfortunately.

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

When I used the Amiga I generally used Soundtracker, Noisetracker and Octamed.

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

Hard to pick, but Resonance III was my last made on Amiga and I'm a little bit satisfied
with this one.

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

Hmm, must be Resonance II played live in Denmark for maybe 1000 people's. I've never been
comfortable with this one.

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

Without music it will never work. Experience of a demo or game depends much on music.

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

I stopped composing in 1999, but I'm still playing keyboard with piano soundbanks. Piano is my
favorite instrument, after church-organ. I'm planning to recompose some of my mods proffesionally
in near future

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

They're all good formats, but mpeg's and all other compressed music-files sucks in hi-fi.

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

Michael Cretu- ENIGMA

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

That's a dream.. Maybe-baby

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Gwen Stefani

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

A nice memory of good old times.

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

Nope, but I'll be back! ;-)

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

To you Crown, big thx for your interesting in Amiga-scene. Keep going!
