Date of birth:

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

I have always been interersted of computers and stuff since i was little.
Mostly to play games and stuff. Then one year my dad bought me AMIGA 500
for birthday present around 1990. After a while i got over the programm
Protracker and that made the way for making computerized music

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

1-Amiga 500 - protracker

2-pentium 200 - Fastracker

3pentium3 500- Madtracker and Soundforge

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

Well i am into gfx a little bit- But the reson for music is that i am a schooled
drummer and i also play guitarr and some piano. I started Playing drumms when i
was seven and after some years some friends and i started a band and so on..
The guitarist from that band still plays and also in the band i play with
today, We play oldschool Thrash Metal , And metal music is what heart realy
burns for. And Naturly because of my interest for music i started makin music
on the cpu because i could and because it was loads of fun. Not that i listen
to trance or techno music but its fun to make and to epxeriment and learn how
to make better music and stuff.

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

Protracker- Fasttracker-Madtracker-Madtracker is the programm i have had the
most bennefit of using. But Protracker is the programm i have used the longest
time

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

Can u reach yer goal ?

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

There are some trakcs- But them are never released. The reason is that they
were simply not so good at al..

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

The value of music is for the listener to decide.
I value good music and music that i like very high. Good music makes a game or a
film or a demo lift upp to higer stakes, even if a demo sux the music can lift
the demo to OK position if the music is awsome.
But music i dont like i value very little

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

Yes i am still composing. Not as much as before on the cpu because of family
and other things to do, but i still make some tracks now and then I also have
2 bands to play in and compose music for.

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

Music today have to be so commercial. Music beside the comersial line have no
chance of exposure in media. That i dont like.. But through internet u can
get any type of music on MP3 and stuff very easy- And that i think is very
very OK.

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

Of my own music?

My personal favourites of my own music are- Visions- Nexus series and the
System-X tracks also some of the Lunar Exlipse tracks-

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

Nope- Not really- My music are able for download at n-zone.org for anyone
to LISTEN!!! to.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Paradise Lost- Symphony-X-Constructed-Slayer- Terror 2000- Death-hellOween-
Ironmaiden and so on...

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

Loads of tracking time.. I learned how to make music.. I also learned the way
of tracking and how to make tracked music in a programm. Abillites worth lots..

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

I release my tracks for listeners at n-zone.org

Thats it at the moment.

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

Keep Upp the Good work fellow trackers and never give upp.
