Date of birth:

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

If i remember, it was 1986. In this year formed a computer club in
our town, with c+4, and c64 fans. It was the time, when i loved
sid music. Iam composed only one for c64, but I am not archived :(

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

C64 -> Mostly for playing games
Amiga500 -> Games and composing musics
Amiga1200 -> Games and composing musics
Pc -> for everything :)

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

I grew up in a family who love music, so I've started singing and playing on
the flute and guitar as a child, I think I'll keep on doing this in my entire life.
I guess it is obvious why I've started playing music on computers as well.

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

ofcourse Protracker :)

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

Huuuu, I don't know. There are some demo, what we got the first place (Man on The Moon,
Lethal Dose, Motions) maybe with their music?

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

Yes, it was the Brilliance demo's music. I don't have enough time for made it, and when I
gave the music for the programmers, happened the floppy is crashed. This evening
i composed the music again. It was a terrible night, but Iam finished with the music.
If I remember we won the first place with this demo too. :)

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

I don't know if anyone has ever tried to watch a romantic or maybe a horror movie without sound?
I think the music and the sound are giving the emotions to the visuals.
It is the same with the demos. It's important to have appropriet and
expressive music.

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

Just for hobby, when I have free time.

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

Nowdays it's not hard to compose music. There are a lot of programs which makes
computer based composing easier. That's why there are so many groups/bands.
Although there isn't many of high standard.

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

The last one is always the favorite. (Its the Dream or Reality
slideshow? :) / Unreal) However listening to some of my
old music makes me smile, since I feel those are not as good as they were
when I composed them.

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

No, I don't thinking about.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to all kinds of instrumental music, now my favourit is country.
You have to have a really big musical and technical knowledge for this kind of music.
One of my favourits is Keith Urban. I really advise his music to everyone.

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

This is a small civilization (community) that keeps together all the
people with the same field of interest where I've become a lot of nice
fellows and friends.

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

Not anymore. Now my family is the first.

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

Üzenek e valakinek?

For those I've met through the Scene, please drop me an e-mail,
Iam curious how are they.
And of coures I would like to thank the webmaster for building
such a nice memorial from my music through this site.
