Date of birth:

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

Sitting in awe behind my dad's 2086. 1980-something

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

2086 <- sold
2086 <- wrecked
2086 <- wrecked
4086DX100 <- sold
p2-700-128
athlon 1ghz -128

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

It interested me more at the time. at the time i was in an government
institution for 2 years due to (mildly) criminally insane behaviour (seriously).
There i met someone who gave me my first tracker program, and got interested
in it. Slowly i learned more and soon made the connection between tracking
and those old intro's i used to watch. Later i got into design and 3d aswell.

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

Impulse Tracker, Reason, AdlibTracker, Madtracker. Particularly Impulse
Tracker, it's still my favourite.

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

Ubi Dubium ibi libertas was a complete change from my style, and i'm quite
pleased with it.

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

Take your pick :) no reason in particular.

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

In a demo it's essential. to a coder, watching effects on the screen is
undoubtedly interesting, and i myself find it interesting aswell, but with
music it can become a work of art, where the music becomes an integral
part of the onscreen animation. in a game, music is less important, but can
set the atmosphere of the ongoing game in a unique manner.

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

Semi-professional. i've recently been contracted by a media licensing company,
but someone still has to buy my music before i'll see any money. Otherwise
mostly for fun.

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

Mp3 has conquered the world.

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

Condom corruption - travolta / spaceballs

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

No. no cash.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Cobalt 60, Cradle of Filth, Bad Religion, whatever comes into my playlist.

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

A good solid base from which the modern scene evolved. This is where
many utils and techniques were developed, without which i would have
never gotten into music.

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

Semi-active.

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

Everyone in S!P, Trinity, Cph, Aardbei, Solar, Tbl, etc etc etc.
