Date of birth:

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

It started in the fifth school class were I meat a boy who owned a C=64.
If I can remember right, it was in 1986.

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

My first computer was a C=64. I bought it at ALDI. Yeah, you're reading
right! :-) I just played games and watched intros with it.

I sold my C=64 and bought an Amiga 500. Boah! Have a look at these colors! ;-)
I started to do some pixel arts and made some music with soundtracker.

Later I bought an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 4000, which is now equiped with a
Cyberstorm 060/50Mhz, Cybervision 64 and a Toccata Soundcard.

Sine 1997 I bought several PCs... My actual PC is a 2,0 GHz Pentium 4 with
512MB RAM, Banshee PCI Graphix, SoundblaserLive.
Today I'm almost coding C/C++ with small Assembler routines.

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

Actually there's no reason. Perhaps the time that's missing and changing
interests.

Soundtracker, Protracker, Octamed (for MIDI), Art Of Noise ( Chorus )
