Date of birth:

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

In 1985 I got my first computer. A C64 ofcourse ;)

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

I always wanted a computer to make music with it.
I started tracking on c64 with Chris Huelsbecks Soundmonitor in 1986.
In 1988 i got my first Amiga and continued with Aegis Sonix and Soundtracker.
Laster in 1996 i moved to PC and Fasttracker. Nowadays I use Cubase and Logic.

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

I also did code and graphics. But my music turned out to be more professional
as my other skills. Check out http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=4315 and have
a laught ;)

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

Oops.. Read above

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

My 4chnl mods I like most are "entity" and "vite and plack" known as
Interference main theme.

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

most of my xm songs... Too many channels for my opinion ;)

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

Most important ofcourse.

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

Composing is still only a hobby for me. But a great one. Too bad I have less
spare time. But here and then I release some tracks nowadays.

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

mp3 owns. ogg also!. its nice that we have the possibility to master tracked
songs and convert em to mp3 to make em sound more professional.

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

Hmm. Most modules from Dizzy, Heatbeat, Moby, Romeoknight, Chromag
Audiomonster, 4mat, Mantronix, Tip, Firefox etc... I often listen to the good
old masters.

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

nope.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

depends on my mood... mostly all the latest stuff.

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

phun!

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

yes!

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

Goodbye.. And thanks for your intrest! :D
