Date of birth:

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

C64, the machine rocked.

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

C64, Games, Programming
Atari ST, Demo Programming
Atari Falcon, Demo Programming

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

Well I did all of it, Coding, Music and some gfx. I'm just best at music
though.

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

Fasttracker and a host of others (Chip editors). Honestly, I've forgotten
their names.

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

Not one, ever. As a musician, you can never reach your goal.
The trip is the destination.

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

Oh, several. Reason: They were crap ;)

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

Very big, largely underestimated. It's very important for the atmosphere.

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

Yes, from time to time for professional games. Occasional professional remixes.

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

Nothing in particular. They are just means for an end.

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

That'd be long. Old school would be Turrican, Giana Sisters, and some demo
tracks.

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

At some point maybe

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Crystal Method, Way out West, Leftfield, BT

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

not much (anymore :) ). I'm completely out of it.
I'm fascinated though that people still spend so much time with these old
machines

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

No, I'm in the games industry now.

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

Oh greats go out to all friends of Lazer on the Atari!!
