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

I'm not sure,but i think it was the year 1984.Many People was talking about
a great new Homecomputer called C-64.This Computer was comming up very popular
that days. Then i meet a friend and i was very impressed about that what i saw.
2 month later i got my first homecomputer, and erverything started....

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

My First Computer was a C-64.First i was playing Games and then i got Koala
Paint and i tried to draw some Pictures,but first they really looked bad.....
In the Year 1987 i sold my c-64 and left for Amiga. I got D-paint and my first
Tracker Programm,i'm not sure if it was "Startracker"?? I can't remember it.
On Amiga i startet to compose some Tunes and also i tried do make some Graphics.
Today i have a Pc and my loved Amiga.

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

As i was a small child,i started playing some instruments. Today i'm playing
guitar and that's why i want to make music as i got my Computer. When i was
found by some People of "Abandon" i started as a musican and Graphican.
I have made Gfx and Tracker music over Years,but later it was clear,that i
was more talented in doing Graphics.But i always like it to make music......

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

I used Futur Tracker,Digi Tracker,and almost Pro Tracker and for multichannel
Tunes i used Fast Tracker.I can't remember all tracker Programs,there was
so many...

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

I think there was some nice tunes in my Past and i was happy as i released my
Music Disk,and there was the Title Music for the Game "Marvins Marvellous
Adventure" but i think the Time has not come that i can say i have reached my
Goal. Maybe some day,we will see.....

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

I think there was many....:)

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

I think the Music is very importand for a Demo or Game.
If you remember a Game or a Demo,than you remember only Games/Demos
with the Best music.

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

In my last years i always was drawing Gfx,but i will start soon Composing again,
but for leisure purposes first.

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

I think mpeg is a nice Medium and it's not so complicatet to make as to work
with Tracker Programs.Guitar Tunes was very Complicatet to make with tracker
Programs and mpeg is a big welcome to people who wants not to work with
"Small" Samples ....

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

Yes.
Dragon's Funk (Moby) and many more(Arte)
World of Fantasy (Lizardking)
When the heavens fall (Purple Motion)
molecules's Revenge (Jester)
Always a lot of Virgill's Tunes
I cant listenig all here,because there are so many.......

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

I think not,maybe i will make new tunes,I'm not sure.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

My favorits Bands are Offspring,Rage against The Machine,Limp Bizkit.

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

I loved the Amiga/c64 Scene.And without that i never become such a talentet
one. Thx to all who are still in Scene.......

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

Yes Sure,i'm still in Scoopex these days.

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