Date of birth:

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

It started with the C64. I saw it first at a friends place and just HAD to have
one myself! 1986

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

C64 - Playing, and later on machine language and some composing...
Amiga 500,500+ and 1200 - playing at first, but after that mostly assembler
programming and music composing.

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

Well... I was very interrested in electronic music, and when the opportunity for making
my own music with my computer came, I couldn't resist!

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

C64 - future composer and some early soundtracker clone.
Amiga - Soundtracker / Startrekker / Noisetracker...
PC - Fasttracker II, AXS, Rebirth, Fruityloops...

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

Uh... I havn't reach my goal yet... but one big favourite is the old "Brainblast"
from 1991.

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

Dont remember the name of it, but it was a tune for an Amiga intro which I had
to cut all the samples to nothingness just to fit the memory in an A500.

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

Whithout music a demo is meaningless.
...in games... well... just the intromusic, but when playing I want silence +
soundfx. :-)

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

Not much these days. Sometimes I start on a tune, but it always ends with
kaos and I delete it!

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

Very proffessional, but not the same "soul" in the music as back in the Amiga
days!

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

Don't have one! I get bored too quickly.

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

Nope...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Nothing special... Listen very little to music these days.
But when I listen it's mostly to Infected mushroom, Sphongle, Aphex Twin and
stuff like that...

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

Happyness!

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

No. I got myself a life :-)

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

Greetings to all former members of Defiance! I still remeber you all!
