Date of birth:

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

I guess it started when I was a kid and I had just learnd to read. My dad came
home with an Atari1040ST one day and it just continued that way. I guess I was
6 years old.

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

I started out with an AtariST with wich I learned to code basic and compose
music. (mainly .mod files in protracker, I learnd to compose YM later on)

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

Music was easyier and funnier =) hehe, I guess im lazy. But I do gfx also, im
not just as good at it.

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

I started out with a program called Piano on Atari, dont remember much of it,
I dont think it was a tracker in that meaning. Then I got my hands on
ProtrackerST wich I stayed with untill I got a PC. I also used a program called
quincomposer on atari. on PC I started with Fasttracker2 and Im still using it.

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

noone really, but I think I like my co-op with Stalker named flc_girl.xm the
most.

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

hehe, yeah, all shit I composed 96-2000 or something, it suck =)

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

Well both gets very boring if you dont have music, but you can survive with a
demo without music, but I dont think I would play a game without music.

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

yes im still composing music, mainly soundtracks for demos or chiptunes for
cracktros or artpacks for my groups. I dont think I would ever start making
music professional, its just not why im doin it... I hate to be serious with
something.

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

I dont really have an opinion

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

The authors and songs that have gave me the most is I think chiptunes by Paul
Shields, David Withacker and Jess on atari, and ofcource Kooty + all my friends
whom I have composed chiptunes with on PC. But It was David Withackers fault
that I started makin this awfull music in the first time =)

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

no not really, or maybe if my friends want me too for parties and stuff.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Moustly Swedish Hiphop nowadays, but I listen to most electronical music... I
like Rage against the machines too.

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

something to talk shit about because I was on atari =)

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

ofcource!

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

I would like to thank arachno for gettin me into the PCscene by allowin me to
join Fadeout, I guess I would have stopped my sceneactivity if that didnt happen
all thoose years ago. ofcource my dad for giving me my atari as a kid. oh, and
a hi to all my friends, you know who you are. oh, and dont stop fighting all
the evil powers in the world blablabla be cool stay in school (and scene) and
stop critizise all sceneproductions, try to tell ppl whats good and how to make
whats bad better instead of just dissing them. Thats what makes the scene so
boring today, everyone is so unfriendly to eachothers. ( I dont say im better,
eheh)
