Date of birth:

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

In the early 80´s my father bought me a C64. Im played on it a lot,
but later im was very impressed by the music of the games
(Last Ninja, Rob Hubbard muzax, etc.) so im started to composing
on the C64.

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

From 1990 im used an Amiga500 to make musics, for my group(s),
musicdisks, introtunes, etc... in 1996 i sold my Amiga:( and change
to PC.

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

Im still making musics, so im not finished my job:) But im get older an older,
and need money - so i made webpages/gfx and interactive applications now -
this is my job. To make music is only my hobby.

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

On C64: Future Composer, RoMuzak.
On Amiga500: Protracker, Oktalyzer, OctaMed, KCS (midi)
On Pc: Synthesizers with everything:))

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

I think a good musician never reach his/her goal:)
But my all time favourite tune (mod) is called "Henry`s Ballade"
you can find it on the aminet...

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

At my 18 birthday ive made a tune called "years18" thats awfull and depressive.

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

The value is: try to eat without salt for a year...
The music is the salt for demos/films/games.

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

Im still composing, sometimes for order (for Radios stations, etc.)
and sometimes just for myself.

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

I think the Mp3 coding is the most important thing after the appear of the Piano...

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

Everyting from Rob Hubbard, Tip, Mantronix.

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

Im already published a 8track audio CD with my music, we didnt sold too much
from that - my style is not following the trend (techno, rave, groove, etc.)
so only a few people likes it.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

PetShopBoys, Sting, and a lot of from 1980-90.

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

A lot of experience.

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

No.

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