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

  • It was year 1988, when my parents buyed our precious AMIGA.
    The games and demos just started to fascinate me.


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

  • My elderly brother had C64, gaming was my "thing" back then.


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

  • Music was something undiscovered to me.

    guy like me who didn't have such thing as "musical ear", and still I made
    some "songs".

    neat.

  • protracker on amiga.
    and fast tracker 2, impulse tracker, and modplug tracker on pc.


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

  • I never got any goals you know. It was twiddling around and just producing
    stuff.


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

  • Lots of them. but they never got published.


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

  • at least 80%.


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

  • Yeah for leisure. Well, it's like bad habit, easy to possess difficult to
    get off.


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

  • Great. Much, much good free music.


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

  • I liked a lot of tunes. Especially mono211/monotonik/tokyo dawn rec stuff.
    Too many to put them all here.


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

  • Maybe in _very_ distant future.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • ...And Oceans
    Aphex Twin
    Puissance
    Squarepusher
    Velvet Acid Christ
    Run Level Zero

    +huge amount of other metal / Dark Wave / IEM acts


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

  • well, I don't think I was really part of amiga/c64 scene ever.


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

  • nope.


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

  • make noise/music, it really doesn't count if it's crap,
    it is supposed to be primetime for yourself.
