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

  • My first computer was an Atari ST... in '84 or something.
    Your interest usually start with your first computer, don't it!?


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

  • After the first machines I've used C64:s, Amigas (all models) and PCs
    for various things such as Gfx, some lousy coding but mainly music...


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

  • I sucked on everything else... and as it turns out, music is the most fun
    anyways!


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

  • Protracker v2.xx is the Only One!No, actually I've used the lot... like
    wham!(ZX), sonix, soundtracker, future composer, OctaMED, scream tracker
    and fasttracker for MODs
    And lots of others for Midi... but ProTracker Rockz!


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

  • That's a feeling you never experience!


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

  • The first One!


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

  • Great value! A demo or game ain't complete without it...


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

  • Yes. I am composing professionally


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

  • What is there to say about it? You can't compare it to anything other
    thanprofessional music so... You can't compare it to Mods, can you!?


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

  • Uncle Toms tune for Scoopex Mental HangoverKlisje paa Klisje - by
    what's-his-name-that-norweigan-guy and lots and lots more...


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

  • Nope... why?


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • wow! well, anything that rocks...


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

  • Nice memories... and lots of empty cokecans in the garage.


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

  • No... but who knows... (we'll call it a long sleep...)


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

  • Yeah... Greets to all of the cool cats I knew on the old
    scene... you know pretty damn well who you are!
    Some closing words: I heard the contributions from TG99
    today... If this is what the musicians on the scene is capable
    of today... yeah! well... Keep on trackin'...
