Date of birth:

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

As I've been into games since I first laid my hands on my Atari 2600 gaming
console about 1983? (which I still have btw), I love the music. The gaming
music. The OLDSCHOOL gaming music! (Most of) my tunes reflect this; lo-fi
samples, simple melodies, and the feeling you get when listening to them
("Hey this sounds like its from a game!").

Right now, I use madtracker exclusively for making my music. Maybe in the
distant future I will get myself a midi-keyboard and start using reason, but
no certain plans right now.

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

c-64 sold, amiga500 sold, amiga 1200 defect.

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

More talent for this..

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

protracker (amiga), digibooster(amiga), and now madtracker(pc)

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

It's a continuous struggle to get better, making the perfect tune is impossible!
:D

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

1-4-joy.mod , that one won me 2nd place in a compo many years ago...

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

That's the only thing that might stick around years afterwards... unless the
gfx is really KICKASS...

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

yup... leisure.

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

midi sux, mp3's are okay at 320kbit, ogg is good too

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

sorry don't know where to begin :)

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

already done! :D

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

other trackers. we hang out on irc.esper.net in #madtracker

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

many fond memories....

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

yes

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