A friend of mine had a VIC-20, and we'd spend lots of time on it programming and playing. My father also had a PC at work, some IBM variant with monochrome screen. My first "own" computer was an Amiga 500. I used that for playing games, and listening to and composing music. I remember Protracker 2.3 fondly. I'm not very talented with the gfx, though I could do at least something decent given enough time. As for coding vs. music I don't know for sure, but it probably has to do with the fact that I come from a musical family, and plays a lot myself. As I mentioned before, Protracker. Version 2.3 would be the particular in this case. Nowadays I sometimes try to play with ModPlug Tracker, but it's not nearly as intuitive (or maybe I just don't know it well enough yet). Oscillation remix, which is one of the very few modules that survived my hard disk crash, is my favourite, by far. Well, maybe there are a few, but they haven't been released, so I'm not too obsessed with it. It's essential. Sound and music is what speaks directly to your emotions, so I'd say it's important. Not much at all. I'd like to, but to raise the willpower (not to mention the cash) to buy a new computer with everything necessary to make music is hard. Pass. Off the top of my head, the "older" music that I remember most: The music from Enigma by Firefox and Tip. 3D Demo Tune by Mad Freak. Free from guitar by Bruno. Overload by Mantronix and Tip. Elekfunk by Moby. Attitude, Nassum-Pelmiti and Lovefunk by Nuke. Assembly '94 invitation by Purple Motion and Injector by Zodiak. More recent tunes must mention Elwood (Sick on Monday, Feats of valor etc.), most of the Five Musicians and Thomas E. Petersen (Laxity, but not the Kefrens one). No. They wouldn't fill a CD anyway. :) Lots. Dream Theater. Spyro Gyra. Morcheeba. Toto. Incognito. Kraftwerk. Vangelis. Tower of Power etc. Some great awe-inspiring moments. I actually never was very active to begin with, but now it's down to zero. As stated before, "my" Triangle isn't the same as the "other" Triangle. We were three guys who named our group even before we knew there was a demo-scene (our first idea was to make games), and not until much later we discovered there was another group with the same name. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2003 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
