Date of birth:

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

When a friend of mine bought a C64. Later I bought one myself. This
was probably around 1987.

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

1987 - C64 (Games)
1989 - Amiga (Games, music)
1993 - 486 DX (Games, music)
1996- - Pentium (Music, surfing)

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

Well, my friend started playing around with noisetracker in 1989. When I
saw/heard what he did, I started to experiment with it too. At that time I
had no interest learning how to code (I do now). I cant draw that good.

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

On Amiga: noisetracker, protracker
On PC : fasttracker 1 and fasttracker 2

In particular it was protracker on Amiga and is FT2 on PC. In the future
it will probably be cubase or similar programs.

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

None. I think that some parts in a few songs I have made sound decent
though...

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

My first songs. I started from scratch in my youth, so the mods were more
or less just sounds.

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

Looking at a demo without sound is like watching a movie without sound

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

I still compose, but dont release anymore. Maybe in the future I might
release something new. Probably in MP3 than mod/xm. After I have bought
better equipment I will send demotapes to record companies and see what
happens.

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

MP3, why not. When I've bought some expensive equipment I want to be able to
use it.

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

Dont remember songnames, but I listened to:

C64 - Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard ant those I've forgotten.
Amiga - Mantronix & Tip, J. Liljedahl, 4-mat etc
PC - More or less anything I downloaded..

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

Dont think so, but I might take out a few parts in XM's that sounds good and
remix it in future songs.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Mostly UK acid/acidtrance, like L. Immersion, C. Liberator, Dave the Drummer
etc. Also techno, ambient and jungle depending on the mood.

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

Inspiration

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

No.

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

All the ppl I've met, present and past, on the net and in real life.
