Date of birth:

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

I saw one. I think it was around 1980.

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

If you are refering to computers, I started with Vic20 and moved on to C-64,
AppleII Amiga, PC and Macintosh. If you are refering to music instruments the
list is too long. Learned programming, made music, made graphics and ofcause
played games.

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

I actually did some graphics for Fairlight but music was my thing. If youre a
friend of Black shadow, Exollon and such people you really dont code unless
youre REALLY good.

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

In the Fairlight days mostly Soundtracker(later Startracker) and music X.
Nowadays its more proffessional programs like Protools on the Mac.

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

I'M quite proud of two modules. Londonflight and Duckdance.

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

Once I made an awful version of popcorn. When the strings started they where
too loud witch Celebrandir and everybody else at that copyparty experienced,
After that I started to use better speakers at home...:)

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

The music, if its well written, allways enhance the experience of ell kind
of media.

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

I work fulltime with composing and producing music for film and pop industry.
I whould like to make some game music but the opportunity hasnt arrived yet.

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

What is there to think? Some good, some bad.

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

Im very fond of John Williams music from Close encounters.

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

Not at the present.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to everything, due to my work but Im very fond of Journey.

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

A lot of fun.

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

Its been a while but Ive talked with Black shadow about somekind of Surround
demo on the PC, but its just talk at he present.

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

All my comrades from Fairlight whom I word with,
