Date of birth:

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

It was when I become 10 in 1987 & all I wanted was a c64 from my father & I
was facinated in the Game SpyHunter but I got Go for The gold instead. The
crap u got when you bought it. Later I copy it from a friends and I was
fetched in the Tv 24/7

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

C64,Atari 1040 ste , Amiga 500 , Pc

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

It began when I was 12 I think & I come over a Music Program called future
Composer i started to mix the Demo tunes and found it was pretty fun to make
music, n since then i´v been on it

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

Music Assembler 1.0 / Future Composer . Music Assembler become my favourite
program coz it was very easy to use the Sequence editors , like trackers.

Later I started with ProTracker / Octalyser on Atari

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

It was SilverRain on Atari the . Later Insomnia/Deep into my eyes become
very popular in my minds that was created with Fast Tracker

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

Accutaly , I don´t have any tunes that I don´t wannt to remember. I have lost 3
Tunes in my life. Else I have all well backuped in diffrent places. It´s my
whole life. Only I knows in what purpose I made em. Every singel 1

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

It´s makes the whole Demo,Game. Like a movie with bad characters makes the
movie bad. Still, without good Coders n graphicians there shouln´t be any at
all so a good combination makes amazings results

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

Both.I haven´t advanced yet but I will very very soon.I´m up with some stuff,
but I don´t have a hurry to get famous.I do it more coz it´s fun.And it´s a
way for me to express my feelings. PPl writes in diarys,i make music

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

Today everyone is musicians.there are talented ppl out there, but yet it´s
almost crap n Make overs, Covers that ppl get famous coz real Owner of the
tune accutaly don´t get mentionen at all.& ppl don´t know it´s a cover.
I call that to get a lift of others HARD work.Thoose ppl I personaly want
to slap n call them the Really LAMERS

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

Deep into my eyes & Realize was thoose song I made in my very very hardest
time in life.Deep Eyes got very popular & I have received alot of Fan mails
about it , Also XerXes is a masterpiece in my opinon.But , I got very
Angry n uppsetted when I found out that a famous Psy Trance Artist "Chi-AD"
released a trax called "Bio-Candy", in the middel of the trax starting at
4:30 a whole rip of my XerXes loop in the begining is present,ofcoz in slower
Bpm n a very few notes are changed but its my Touch in it. But, I can´t do a
shit about it.XerXes were made in 97 n BioCandy 1 year later. But of coz, it
has not to be in that way but im usally right when I i have said other tunes
has been ripped n later it turns out to be correct.

My words to Him would be. IF that was a RIP. Burn in hell. Else sorry, and
very good work!

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

Yeah , in fact im on it.Im planning to release it Public on my webpage later
in 2 versions. The real n with a Convert with Reason

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

It depends... I like alot of Psy/Goa artist , I prefer older artist with the
old touch of Trance. Like Manwithnoname, Paul oakenfold but I most sound good,
I'm very intrested in music that mix good sounds n have a good musicality and
makes the sounds to blend in to a masterpice.

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

Something noone today ever will experience.The upcome of the demoscene, Parties..
Born of various good artist souch as Ben Daglish , Reyn Owenhand, Matt Grey
(the ones behind Last ninja music,i think I missed one) but there is alot of
more good musicians out there n all my respekt to them. Accutaly I maked alot of
Convert to mod format just to get a touch of how it was to make thoose tunes.

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

No, I'm not, or slighly on the amiga in a Group called Nukleus, but work takes
all the time now.It was better before when u was younger n could sit up all
night long to make music n oversleep to school.Now im 26 n im getting old (bwah)
I have lost alot of inspiration, I dunno if is coz im getting older or that the
Music Scene is to big nowdays and ppl with connections get bigger. Everything
has with Money n Greed/Glory to do. But im satisfacted with my memories in the
old days. Damn I had fun.It´s enought for me.I have reached my goals, You can
find my trax on the Web, also alot of info about me that I never accualy
meantion to someone, coz I wasn´t to very big on the scene. So there are alot
of good ppl out there making this to a legend.Thanks to you !

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

There is alot of ppl I want to greet n Meet personaly. But I remember one
doode , a guy called MrMr in a group called Trance from Germany , we meet on
TCC-93 in gothenburg.He n his Whiskey bottle hehe.. pretty fun was also when
I saw my self sleeping on the Screen that a newsteam filmed earlier that day.

But the main greetz should go to .. Excalibur,Galahad,Tequila(in fagersta in
sweden),Hickok n my self Splash in the Old Tecnic Crew. We had a GREAT time !!!

Also Greetingz to all ppl that touched/putted his/shes entire life into the
scene,known as unknow ppl, n maked it to what it was.

Also big greetinz to thoose ppl that working with to make the old times/artist
