Date of birth:

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

It all started in 1997 when I`ve got my first computer - the Amiga A1200.
After three or four months of gaming, I felt I should do something more...
And then my friend came with ProTracker...

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

First A1200 - gaming, first steps with programming (AMOS, E, ASM) and music
(ProTracker, DigiBooster, DigiBoosterPro).

Second A1200 - music (DBPro) - until today. PC - gaming (sometimes).

PowerMacintosh - everyday use.

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

I simply feel best in music rather than...

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

I used ProTracker, DigiBooster 1.7 and now DigiBooster Pro.
I also tried with FastTracker II (when my first A1200 died).

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

I don`t think I already done that.

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

These are most tunes I did until I`ve got DigiBoosterPro :)

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

It`s really important, as It gives the production a specific feeling.

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

Yes, I`m composing when I have some time... I put my productions to mp3.pl
service, and plan to send them to one of 'open' Polish radio stations.

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

Well, mpeg is good for archivisation purposes, and everyday use. Wave is ok in
mastering stage, midi is crap, as it sound depends on sythesizer you use.

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

Yes, I love Jogeir Liljedahl`s "Face Another Day".

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

Yes, and actually I already did that. I do it from time to time, when I finish
new mod, I always burn it to CD.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Oh, ask me which I don`t listen :) I`ll say that I hate hiphop and other typically
commercial prods. Almost anything other is ok for me.

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

Nothing, actually I`ve never been on scene.

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

I`m active at amiga.org (tomekm)

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

Everyone who heard about me (including you:)
