Date of birth:

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

Fascinated by my friends C-64 that could do the most amazing things, and
fascinated by this whole culture that followed with it. Must been around
1985

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

Lambda, gave it to my ten years younger brother as a toy...
C-64, sold it at a very good price to a guy who didn't know anything about
computers and wanted to give it to his daughter a present.
This gave me enough money to get an A500, that I sold so that I could get an
A1200 which I still have.
And then there's my PC ofcourse, but that's boring...

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

My cousin who was Blue Fox/Balance introduced me to noisetracker, started
doing graphics, but I sucked...

Have been really inactive composing computer music lately, but I play tons
of live music
