Date of birth:

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

At the age of 7, in 1980 when floppy discs were large as tables.
When I and a friend played chess against the computer.

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

I had a Commodore 64 and an Amiga 500. I used both for games and fun and sold
them when I didn't longer find any exitement.

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

I've always loved music and music has always been important for me. Doing gfx
or coding were never actual options for me.

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

I've only composed music with my amiga. Back then I used various versions of
soundtracker.

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

I cannot say that I reached my goal and were satisfied and I really don't
remember all my tunes and modules. Perhaps "Having a hangover", "Caress" or
"Magic bus" were quite good?

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

I think the first one I made wich was used on a demo. I don't recall its name,
but I reckon I would laugh if I heard it today.

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

The music is very important. As in a movie, I would say. The music is suppose
to catch the mood in the demo.

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

No. I'm not composing using computers. I've got a guitar, but I only play for
fun and I don't compose.

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

I haven't listened to today's computer music.

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

I dont't know the compsers name but a module called Jungle2 were great. I also
loved the gamemusic for Bombjack and Commando. In addition I remember that
Romeo Knight, Bug and El Wood made some great tunes.

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

No.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Currently I am listeing to King Midas (Norwegian) and Franz Ferdinand
(Scottish).

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

I was my first meeting with coputer as a funmachine.

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

No.

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

I don't remember all the guys back then. but hi to Honkydory, Nosferatu and
Shorty.
