Date of birth:

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

I was about 13 (that means 1984) when i got my Commodore 64 and immediatly
felt in love with it! I started some programming in basic! 38911 bytes
free rulez!!

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

I started with a mattel intellivision but instead of buying the computer
extension, I bought a C64, then an Amstrad CPC6128, then an Atari ST and some
months after an AMiga 500 and finished that glofry days with a A1200 till
1994 and a PC (arf)

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

I always was attracted by sounds and synthesizer. Some friends were very fond
of music on synthesizer. So i decided to track some musax.

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

I cant forget the magic one, the first one : Soundtracker by Karsten! But i
remember also Aegis Sonix!

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

Music from Leaking cock demo!

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

I cant have such a pretention!

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

Essential! Did you ever try to play a game without sounds and especially music.
Its like in a movie! Music is here to create a real atmosphere, to sustain
suspens and so on!

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

Not at all!

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

Its just nothing! Good dayz are gone with the SID and the samples. But today
the possibilities are reaching infinity

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

There are so much : i just can remember tunes from Obarski, the first one,
music from Amegas, of course tunes from the C64 (the last V8!), and tunes from
Romeo Knight, Maestro, Fred/Ackerlight and so more! I also love the music from
Uncle Tom in the Mental Hangover demo from Scoopex.

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

Nope!

12-What bands are you currently listening to?

EBM, Placebo, U2, Pink Floyd; Chris Huelsbeck, Composer from movie (like K-PAx),
and many more!

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

Learning the magic world of computer but beyon the relationship and the heavy
reality of a true passion!

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

Not at all!

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

It has been really a good time and when I can i love to remember this time
thanx to guyz like you! So thanx to you CROWN!

I send greetings to all guyz i met through this 8 years of pure madness!
From Finland to New Zaeland to Denmark (i loved to go there) to Norway,
Sweden, and so on! Greetings to Mercure/EOC 1999!
