Date of birth:

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

It began when my friends bought an amiga, i think the year was 1990-1991
I shortly followed up, and began expanding my love to the tracked music!

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

My first computer was a A500, now i got 4 A500, 1 A1200, and a bunch
Discdrives, joysticks etc..

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

I like music, especially when it´s in a great demo... (Fairlight - Fullmoon
tune 2 ROCKZ!)

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

Started with SoundFX 1.3, then NoiseTracker/Protracker and ended up with
OctaMED 3.0

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

I never reached my goal, or at least, that not the way i was looking at it,
i did it for fun...
i´m still making mods/streams, specially the Bastard genre...

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

641, it was used in our Clonetro... nothing special though, but i like the
mood..

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

If it´s good, then the demo/game can reach a higher level!

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

Im still composing, but just for fun... mixing other tunes...

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

It depends what kind of genre it is, but i like those good old tracker mods
from time to time..

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

There are many!!!
Fairlight-Fullmoon tune 2... and the remix of it. Achanti circles..
And Guitar Slinger by Jogeir Liljedahl made quite a impact!

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

hahaha! nooo nonono! tears no!!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Nephew (Danish)
Trentemøller (Danish Remixer)
Almost anything new..

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

A lot of sleepless nights, and quite a battle to rip those modules... :o)
And of course good memories and happy hours spend alone and with frinds in
weekends!

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

Depends how you look at it... still supplying modland with a rip now and
then...

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

Major Kudos to all who still lay many hours in developing demos and
composing music!!!
And a big thanks to all who spend days and nights collecting and sharing
those good tunes around the net..
No one mentioned - no one forgot!
