Date of birth:

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

1988 - got my first C64 back then. It was a holiday week and I played
"Eggbert" and "Big Top Barney" the whole week through. Shortly after that
I started my first Basic program.

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

C64 - cracking/training/coding
Amiga 500 - cracking/training/coding/music
Amiga 1200 - music
now AMD K7/600 - nothing extraordinary

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

I tried them all, and Gfx was not in my vein. Music was cool with
SoundTracker/ProTracker, I liked the technical side of it, made it almost
*like* coding. I'd consider myself a rather technically oriented musican.

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

see above

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

Sexual Climax; Dawn of Myth

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

Nope. They all have their place, the good ones as well as the bad ones.

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

Probably more than anything else because what do good effects look like when
the music is crap.

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

Nope, no time.

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

Never got anything going for midi.
Mpeg is cool for having made obsolete CD shuffling machines. As for the music
industry crying all over the place - Darwinism at work. If noone wants to by
their kiddie shit they may stop producing it and turn to real music. Wave is
just a format bad Windows samples come in... blown up like anything else from
MS.

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

Whoa... okay:

C64: Ben Daglish's Last Ninja Title (The Wastelands); Matt Gray's Last Ninja 2;
Jesper Olsen's Turn It; Rob Hubbard's Human Race and IK+; 20CC's
Sophisticated Part 1; Lord of Sonics' Clystron

Amiga Mods: Reflect's Life?; U4IA's Take a trip; Rymix's Cry4Bass; Pitty's
Crying Techshame and Longing for Techno2; Bionic's Bladeraver;
Dr. Awesome's SpaceDeliria; Romeo Knight's Rise Up; Chris
Huelsbeck's Turrican; Jester's Molecule's Revenge

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

Nope.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

VNV Nation; Front242; Apoptygma Berzerk; Blutengel; Funker Vogt; Assemblage23;
Decoded Feedback; Covenant; Icon of Coil

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

The best experience ever: Computers CAN be fun. If I had started with Windows
I'd hate computers just as much as the next guy.

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

Nope.

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

Greetings fly out to Pitty, Fatman, Udo, Tuner, Amblin, and all the guys from
the good old days. It's over now but it was not to be missed.
