Date of birth:

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

hmm.. I got my fist computer, an Atari 1040STE in 91..
I bought that one just because all my friends had one..

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

An Atari as I said and an a1200.
I played games the first year on my 1040, then I started to make music
and do some graphics. I also coded some assembler on the a1200.

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

Hmm, dunno.. But I guess it's because my family is a "music family"..
Everybody plays an instrument..
Infact I've almost stopped making music in the favour of
graphics these days..

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

pt 3.15 and ft2 and some protracker clone on the STE

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

hehe.. dunno.. have I reached any goals??? They constantly change.

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

Well.. I guess we all have made bad tunes soo.. :) But I don't really
care about that anymore...

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

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

Hmm.. as I said I don't do that much music anymore... it's like 90% gfx
and 10% music. And when I do something it's becuase I've been asked to
by my friends or when I'm in a project I "feel" for..

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

Well... it's better to use midi and professional stuff than modules...
But that's quite obvious I guess. :)

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

the no.1 demo tune is the one in X-14/orange made by Dune..
that's a real killer :)

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

No... I don't think I will....

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Autechre&co... ie all good warp-releases.. ;)

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

hmmm.. a bunch of goooood friends. :) and some good connections
one can use in the middle of ones career.. ;)

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

Yes and no.. I don't download all releases from all parties etc..
But we do some stuff from time to time..

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

hmm.. well.... greets are lame.. :) but oki.. here we go, a quick greet to
friends in: sonik, pulse, smoke, tbl, sbs, orange, tpolm, cncd etc etc etc..
'nough!
