Date of birth:

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

My interest in computers started out when my older brother bought himself an
"Oric-1" in 1983.

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

I bought myself a ZX-Spectrum in 1985 (I think), after that a C64 and finally
an Amiga 500 in december 1989.

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

I guess I liked music more than drawing.

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

Protracker only.

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

"Please sleep".

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

I'm sorry. I don't remember it...

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

Everything. Because music contains much more feelings and memories to me, than
graphics and "playability" would contain.

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

Njet, I'm full-time studying. But I play my saxophones (tenor & soprano) now
and then in a gospel-choir and in church.

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

Haven't heard any of it.

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

"Spell Amelioration" by Uncle Tom of Razor 1911.
All music by Codex of Razor 1911, especially "Domination-dance"!
All music by Rob Hubbard.
The game music for "Chimera" on the C64.
The game music for "Unreal" on the Amiga.

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

Nope. Never.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Kurt Carr, Jan Garbarek, Taraf De Haïdouks, Jeff Buckley, The Gotan Project,
Silje Nergaard, Kirk Franklin, Jaga Jazzist, Björk.

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

A lot of memories.

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

No.

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

I say hello to The Jerk, Tom Erik, Stian, BHF, Vidar, LSD-Lapskaus Design,
Cyntex, Sigurd, Bengt Olav and Humanoid.
