Date of birth:

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

it starts in late 1991, i got a c64 to xmass 8) because my mother hates my
ninjitsu-lessons :[ i watched many many demos,listen many times to chris
huelsbecks "badcat-intro", "shades"..... and i was really impressed by the
sound...

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

oh, first i got a c64 II, years later i bought a c128 (for the old soundchip;),
than a Amiga500, i did many tunes in melontracker 8), but the os sucks, so i
got a A1200, with harddisk 8) , later a pc386 with a gus with 256kb sample
ram :), later the usual PC-stuff, now i own three PC's, one for gigasampler,
one 4 reflex-studio-sequencer, one 4 recording&mastering wit hoontech dsp2000.
look also on my page for additional equipement 8)

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

coding sucks, grafix is boooring, but composing is fun, and the people will
listen your music years after release, (nobody cares for your code after
years ;)

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

uuuuh, so many:
on c64: in timeorder..

soundmonitor by chris huelsbeck
gmc, dmc2-4 by brian/graffity
reflextracker by reflex
LSD by reflex

on amiga:
protracker (melontracker;)
startracker
octamed

on pc:
ultratracker
fastracker
reflex-studio/cubase/soundforge

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

i never reached my goal, thats the cause why i still compose like a bastard,
since 10 years... and i never will stop this 8) if i think, i've reached
my goal, i must stop making music, because the highest level is arrived...
all furthcoming musics will be worser (hope you understand my lame english :(

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

ohyeah, so many tunes. my first music-collection called "brainbeat(1)" was a
horrible try in starting to make music.

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

a music can create or "make" a demo or shoot up a demo/game/movie.
its improtant to over 70% i think, the best demo/game/movie suxxx with a shit
music, the best styling will be senseless without a fitting soundtrack.

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

nowadays i compose only for money :]]]]]] i must pay flat/eat/bills and all
the shit by my self, so i simply make music for games ect, i also scores
movies, creates sfx and ambiences for games/movies.

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

midi:suxxx (midifiles and the midisystem, its too limitated for mee, in
every track i have dropouts :[[[[[[[[
wave: rules,
mp3 too
cda suxx

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

lightforce by ron hubbard

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

no,so many people asked me that, but if i compose, i MUST do something new,
i hate the old shit, and i doesnt understand why people remix again and again
old music. i think its a bit of uncreativity, but its my opinion.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

pvcf with the new aquanox-cross-over soundtrack ;)
limpbizkit, danny elfman, eric sierra, jeremy soule,kidrock

i HATE the modern amerikan rap, the german rap too (beside of fanta4, they
still rules)

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

my whole life, thousends of fans over the whole world, an entry in the
gamescene and this gives me hopefully a entry in the real moviescene, i plan
to compose in 10 or 15 years my first hollywoddmovie ;)

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

nope. last week i was asked for tts's new pc64k for mekka02, but i didnt have
the time and the fun anymore.

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

oh: i greet all my fans form past and the newer fans, which are mailin me
asking for the commercial release of aquanox-soundtrack and for remixes.
i thank you very much for moralsupport! and a BIG fuck to all mags over the
years which hate the style of my musics (gamespot: you suxxx ;) and a BIIIG
thanks to all the mags which reviewed my musics whith highest points
(adrenalin VAULT!! /pc-action/gamestar)
