Date of birth:

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

The father of a friend had a ABC-80 at home, and we kids played with it.

This was in 1980. I got my first computer 1982 and was hooked forever after that.

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

My first was a ZX Spectrum 48k and i both played and programmed on it. Then the c64 busrted into
my life and we all know the history of it. Next came the c128 and after that one Amiga 500
stepped into my life. On the A500 i did graphics and some music. After that Amiga 1200 entered
the scene. Did the same thing with it like on the amiga 500. I still have all the machines,
still intact, at my home.

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

I didnt, i did both music and graphics.

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

ProTracker and OctaMed. Mostly ProTracker.

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

The tracks i made is all long gone except the ones on your site, those wasnt my best thou. Made
some really great mods that i lost long time ago. I wish i had made some backups but i didnt.
Too bad.

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

Not what i can think of.

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

Very high value i think, its half the demo at least. In game it really depends i think.

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

No, i dont compose any more, but im thinking of trying to do an amiga module once again simce i
still got all the hardware and software intact.

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

There are still some good composers out there doing a good jobb.

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

Many of the demos and games tunes are very important for me. Im an fanatic nostalgic and
collects all i can lay hands on.

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

No, since i lacks almost all of my tunes.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

There is so many bands, mostly Synth and Techno bands but also heavy metal and some 60-70s tracks.

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

A great life with many good moments.

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

Flashpoint is still existing but we are more a band of friends, so the answer is no.

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

Greets to all you folks out there that have experienced the scene and all those lovely computers
produced thru the years.
