When I got my first one! Spectravideo SVI-328, Spectravideo MSX-738, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore Amiga 1200, PC 286 clone, PC 386 clone, PC 486 clone, Pentium 150 clone .. I did mostly programming and after I got my first amiga I got into making computer music. Well, I do coding, even more than music :) Music is a good way to spend your time doing something else than coding ? All sorts of trackers (on amiga & pc), KCS for amiga, cubase / cakewalk for PC, nearly anything goes .. .. None of them ? Most of them are made because I needed just SOMETHING for a demo :) I like most the 'sumea.mod' if I have to pick one module ... All except for that Sumea one :) All breathtaker mods especially :D The reason is dead simple : ever tried composing anything without decent samples in hell-of-a-hurry starting at 02:00 am and ending at 10:00 am thinking 'uuuh, urge to kill raises, RAISES, RAISES!!' ? I give more value for good music (and gfx) in demo than for the fact that someone has made a GREAT polygon engine which draws ZILLIONS of polygons per frame .. Yeah, I've been planning to get into composing more seriously if only I was able to find some time for it ... I've finally got some decent equipment and samples to work with, so we'll see if I ever get anything finished ! mp3 is a great format, you don't have to suffer too long in downloading and the quality is good enough .. I'm not really into .mid files because they never sound like they should ! IMHO all the .mod formats should be buried and someone should design a brand new system to use for making music without tons of equipment (Buzz is a GREAT start!) On amiga, I've always liked Static's and Groo's tunes (Towards Immortality was probably the best tune ever made at the time it was released) Laxity had some neat stuff too ... Hmm, not any of my older tunes (they really don't deserve it) .. On the commercial side artists like Björk, Orbital, Future Sound of London ... I also like Hardfloor, LSG, Aphex Twin etc. Lots of friends ? A reputation as a 'computer freak ?' Not too active, although you may see me on #amigascne every now and then.. Probe (and the rest of VD and FLT members :), Unreal, people at #amigascne .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2001 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
