I've had Commodore 64, 2xAmiga 500, Amiga 1200(Which I still have!:) and now a PeeCee. When I had the Commodore 64 I almost only used it for games. But, I also had some demos and intros, which I liked to watch. I don't open my eyes for music before I bought my first Amiga 500. But, then in 1991 I really took off. :) And after that it's always been music. I never used my Amigas to play games, only demos and intros. I've always loved listening to music. I don't know why I picked music, but I know one thing for sure, I hated coding. I've tried it a few times. Numbers, numbers and even more numbers. GFx? Hehe.. Yeah right, me paiting pictures. I can't imageing it... Hehe.. I've used Protracker mostly.. Version 3.18 :) I think that version is the best one. I still use that version to compose my chiptunes. When I started to compose I used Noisetracker, but after a while I got a demoversion of Protracker on a CU Amiga disc I think. Hehe, and after that I've always used Protacker.. Not the demoversion :) In the PeeCee I've used Fasttracker 2 and Buzz. Nothing compared to Protracker. :) Hmm, hard to tell.. Maybe the module called Lost Dreams. I've made it back in 1994. I made that tune for the music-competition at 'The Gathering 94'. I used a lot of time finishing it and, I really liked the result. :) (At that time.. Now it suxx.. Hehe..) After that tune I've always (almost) liked the tunes I've done. The first one I made. Called 'Kling Kokkos' ... Blah! It don't have rythem. It don't have a real melody. It's just crap. I suppose that's why I want to forget it. I think it's everything. Without the music in a demo, it's boring. In a game you can survive without the music. But, then the soundeffects have to be stunning. And, this days, they usually are. Yes, I'm still composing. Right now, I've just finished a tune for Jurassic Pack. Hopefully they'll use it. Now professional jobs yet.. :( But, maybe some day. Some of them are great. But, some not.. As it was before with mods.. The plus is that you can use more then 4chs.. Hmm, or maybe that's not so positive. ?? :) Favourite tunes? Hmm.. Let's see.. Behind the walls - Martin Wall Desert Dream (Introtune) - Laxity I can go on and on. I've got so many great favourites, but can't take them all here. I can mention some great musicians: Heatbeat, Jester, Dr.Awsome, Lizardking, Jesper Kyd, Jogeir and ofcourse all the ones who make/made chiptunes.. I love chiptunes.. :) Well, I've already made an audio CD, called 'amAZEing'. I've also done a single called 'Twisted'. The album includes, 12 tracks in the Industral Trance direction. You all can order it from me. I'm listening to all kind of music.. It gives me a lot. Great friendship with other of sceners. Many years of fun... And, it gave me Digital Chips (my chippack) and it gave me my CD-album. Without the involving in the scene, I had never released the CD. Yes, I'm still active in the scene. Releasing my chippack called Digital Chips and making music for diskmags and other productions.. All the friends I got in the scene, and had.. Keep up the great work. Please buy my CD. Keep up loving Digital Chips... :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2002 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
