Date of birth:

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

My father bought a computer in the early 80ies

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

My father bought a ZX Spectrum early in the 80ies, and I played some games
and used some programs on it. I actually put all our old VIDEO SYSTEM 2000 tapes
into this database program..hehe...
I got stuck with the spectrum for some years, and around 88,89 I got a C128.Then
onward to Amiga. Today I am on both Amiga and PC

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

well, I really dont make that much music. I orginize and distribute tracks by other
musicians thru RNO-RECORDS. Made some modules on amiga back in the day, but non were
that good that I continued. The best one is X-PANDED, but that one was mostly made by
ZANY/ex.IRIS just so he could have 2 tracks in the same compo :D (south sealand party 95)

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

When I made mods. I used ProTracker. Also tried to make some shit in Fasttracker.

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

XPanded :D

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

I bet Nobody have heard it. So it doesn't care.

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

Music in a DEMO is very important. Even if the coding and grafix are half ass,
if there is a great track, the demo allways seems better.

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

No, just orginizing. www.po-rno.fi/records.php and check it out.

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

Alot of great stuff out there. Almost too much ;)

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

Actually, a small intro tune on a cracktro for Pinball dreams...cant remember the
artist or the group. But it was this Travolta/Spaceballs 'ish kinda track that was
really alive. I remember having only the cracktro on for hours just playing the track
while doing other stuff.

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

No!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I'm currently alot into Metal. But as allways I love a great demo tune.

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

Alot of friends. Knowledge about computers and systems.
Good times.

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

Yes I am :) Just visited BREAKPOINT 2006 Party. And planning
on going to many more parties before I retire for good.

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