Date of birth:

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

I got a commodore 64 in 1986 or so.. then an Amiga in 1988. Once i got the
Amiga, I started tracking.

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

C-64. Games :)

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

Music was my main interest. It has always been. I suck at everything else.

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

Soundtracker, Noisetracker, Protracker, Fasttracker, Modplugtracker
(chronologically).

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

None yet. Hopefully i never will either.

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

Not really. Even tho a lot of tunes are not good/bad, its still my work. To me,
they mean something.

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

Nothing can convey a mood better than music. Or sometimes, if done right -
the lack of it. I.e Saving Private Ryan, where some scenes are without music..
very cool effect!

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

Yes, still tracking. Both purposes. Mostly for fun, but I've done some
commercial stuff. Making money of music is not important to me. Honestly!

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

As always - some are good, some are not. A few are brilliant :)

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

The early work from Red Sector Demos, such as Ba1 has a special place in my
heart. Walkman's music is amazing! Heatbeat, another classic. Clyde, a friend
of mine, did some awesome stuff in his youth that personally has meant a lot
for my own development. But you know, overall there are way too many goodies
to mention them all.

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

Nopes :)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Depeche Mode, Bola, Vangelis (as always), Norwegian stuff.. etc.

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

A hobby for life! And that is a great gift :)

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

Yeap. Doing music for Fairlight and Hellven. Some chip stuff when I feel
like it on Analogik.

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

Hi to everyone I've known through the years. Too many to greet them all. I
guess a special hillo should go to Ian Lymann (Scirocco) and Mikael Fyrek
(Some1) who has become close personal friends after meeting through the scene.
And to Ronny, Morten, Leo.
