Date of birth:

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

I think back in 1986 with c64, like in most cases i asked my parents for
a computer, because you can do so much more with it for the school.
mainly it was used for gameing only, as usual ;)

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

1984 : philipps gaming console
1986 : c64
1989 : a500
1992 : a4000
1998 : pc

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

a500 let you use much more colors and so i began doing some gfx. i got my
first soundtracker and did some mods while i was painting. at the same
time i did some coding in assembler for a500 and did the bistro intro for at
least trsi together with dreamer. i did the color effect ;)

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

all kinds of soundtracker, startracker, protracker, and ft2. mainly
protracker.

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

with no one, coz i can't remember that i have finished any module

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

the most ones. they were all done in 15 minutes and 2 or 3 in 30 minutes
which were released by some accident ;)

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

start a demo without the soundfeeling, the right atmosphere need the right
music.

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

no, i think i did my last track in 1998 with ft2

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

mp3 is great, i would have loved it, if it would have been possible to
play it correct on a4000 .... anyway the a4000 is my answering machine
nowadays.

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

a lot of romeo knight tunes, some of virgill's tunes, some of mufflers tunes,
some of jazz's tunes. don't ask my for module names!

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

hehe, NO, but ... why not ? ;)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

hmmm, to a lot of funbands here in germany, depeche mode (still), haujobb,
frontline assembly, prodigy etc.

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

a lot of fun over the years and some nice friendly dudes! (and some not
so friendly ...) all in all a time i don't want to miss...

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

well, i try to do something but never find the time. i did some 3d stuff
i would like to finish it someday, coz it really rocks.

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

all dudes from the old action crew, all old trsi and all new haujobbers,
last but not least you
