Date of birth:

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

I guess I've always been interested in computers. I got my first
computer back in 1982 or it might have been 1983 (i dont remember).
That was an awsome machine called commodore VIC 20. Since then I've
been stuck.

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

1. Commodore Vic 20
2. Spectrum 48k (the rubber machine:)
3. Commodore 64, made a toaster
4. Commodore 128, don't remember
5. A number of Amiga 500's, sold them
6. Amiga 1200, it burned up.

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

I tried it all, but liked the music the most...

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

Noise-tracker, sound-tracker and fast-tracker on PC.

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

I had no goal. Just liked to make music. But there was one or two special
tunes. One tune that I made with just one sinus wave. I think it was
like 3 or 4kb (en enkel sinus = one simple sinus). And another one with
sounds only from my own body (human machine, I think).

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

No there isn't. I'd like to think of every module as it's own little
experiment.

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

The musik and sfx is just as much a part of a game/demo as the rest.
But I think that in a demo it's the musik, sfx that realy makes it...

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

I haven't done any music for two years now. I still have some of my equipment
left. Just in case... But no.

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

What is there to say. I think that mpeg is a great way of making your self
heard. Midi, you can't live without it. And ofcourse you need some samples
as well so there you have the wave files...

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

Uhh... There's to many. Moby is great artist. William Orbit.

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

No. There's no time left for that.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to everything, but today I listen to Everlast's latest cd.

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

A great time. Lots of fun. Many friends. Crazy partys and thousands of hours
of making music.

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

No...

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

Greetings to everyone who liked/disliked my work...
