Date of birth:

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

Much time passed by when it happened for the first time. My first experience:
soviet computer BK0010 and Atari XE in 1986.

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

I used my Atari for games almost but it was first computer i tried to do gfx
and music. I formed up my group LKR on Amiga only in 1994.

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

No special reason, because I made gfx and design too. But I always like to do
music more, because through sound I can say much more to you.

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

I used Protracker on Amiga and later Fast tracker 2 on PC. Now I make music
using Cubase VST.

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

There was one, but it was never released. And there was a good one placed
third at Bytefall'99 in alternative music competition - Man made eye.

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

No I've never made such tunes or they were erased.

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

I think it takes about 30-50% of performance, but it depends.

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

No professional purposes, I always make music when I want it, so I can't do it
for money.

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

There's no problem with such music when it used as soundtracks for demos, but
not as stand alone pieces.

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

Too bad, I can't remember exact titles.

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

I always have such kind of plan, but there's not enough time.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I like trance, psychedelic trance, but I liste to Madonna, Depeche MOde,
Mylene Farmer, No Doubt and many other.

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

The creative spirit and good friend all around the world.

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

Better say no, then yes. But we're going to make one more site with all our
amiga releases. Probably it will be in .ru zone.

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

Have a good time. And greetings fly to all LKR and Amiga Insomnia diskmag
readers. Too bad we did not keep the promise and release 4th issue for you.
It still loaded on my Amiga HD.
