Date of birth:

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

I got my first computer, Amiga500, at Christmas 1987. Before that I had used
friends' C64 for playing games.

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

Amiga500, Amiga1200. Tracking mostly, also playing games, swapping, writing,
gfx etc.

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

Don't know, for some reason it just happened. Altough nowadays I make more
gfx than music.

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

I mainly used different versions of Protracker. Sometimes tried Digibooster
and Fasttracker too. Today when i seldom make music, I use FruityLoops.

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

Never reached my goal.

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

When I was starting my Protracker career, I made one tune where I only used
some ripped samples and melodies. That I'd like to forgot. But on the other
hand, maybe that helped me a little bit to learn to use PT.. Or not! :)

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

Music creates the atmosphere, so you should pay attention to the music when
creating demo or game.

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

I quite seldom start FruityLoops and do some elektro tracks or hiphop beats.
For my own fun.

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

Alright... ?

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

Randall had some cool jungle mods, Substance's old trance mods rocked and Mono
had great mods back in the days. Can't remember any spesific names/tunes.

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

I actually made an EP which was 'released' at the Mekka&Symposium'2002 party.
Some of the tracks can be found at http://www.mikseri.net/kure. I hope to make
a new cd some day.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Different elektro, rap, drum&bass etc. bands/artists.

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

It GAVE friends, cool memories from parties&trips and some nice viewing
experiences.

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

Not really.

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

Greetings to RNO, DCS, MFX, Dekadence, Haujobb. Thank you.
