I even had one of those ancient games with two paddles that came out before the Atari 2600, which btw, I also owned one. My first computer was probably bought in the early 1980's. Beside the two mentioned above, I've owned a Vic20, C64, Amiga500 and five different PC's. I still have the C64 and Amiga500 in my possession. The early machines were only used for games, and a few meager attempts at BASIC. The Amiga500 was the first computer I ever used for composing. I started playing the electric organ at the age of 6. Guess my skills w/ crayons or calculators didn't quite match up. I actually hate anything that has to do w/ coding, and I only know some very basic BASIC and a bit of HTML. Graphic arts is fun, but I'm simply not as good or as interested. Have used all of the below mentioned: KCS, Soundtracker, Noisetracker, Octalyzer (Amiga) Screamtracker, Fasttracker, Noisetrekker, Madtracker, Cubase (PC) and a few others, I forgot, or simply hated too damn much. Used all of the Amiga softwares frequently, as well as Fasttracker and Cubase on the PC. So far I haven't really felt 100% content with any of my modules, but I guess "Lily 4 da lil ladi" or "Lost your belief" which was never released as XM due to its file size, are two stepping stones. Yes, I made some really sick stuff on the Amiga w/ a friend of mine. It contained foul language and degrading statements that I'm ashamed to have recorded. Well, I was a kid, I guess. None of these songs have been released, so no greater harm done. There are naturally less interesting songs out there, but who cares? It's more about learning and evolving, than about creating nothing but impressive new songs. My interest in demos is pretty insignificant, sad to say. In games, the music can really create a vivid atmosphere, very much the same way it does in movies. Need I mention that I love epic music? I'm currently in a semi-professional state, working full time with other obligations, putting a few hours of my spare time each week into various music projects. I'm also working on a demo-CD along with my wife and a friend of mine. Our set consist of synths, acoustic and classic guitars and we use Cubase for sequencing. I'm not up to date with what's going on within the scene nowadays. I stumble across a few interesting scene MP3's now and then, but basically that's it. Ascent of the cloud eagle, Guitarslinger and Cosmic outflow, to mention a few. Pretty much anything by Darkhalo, Warder and Hunz. Well, the demo-CD I mentioned earlier will most likely not contain any of the released mod-material. Perhaps some time in the future. Kings of convenience, Weeping willows, Dire straits, Sting, Aha and Bo Kaspers Orkester, among others. But mostly my/our own stuff, lol. Wasn't involved in the C64 scene other than when leeching games. The Amiga-scene was a way to evolve in my music making. I was never a whole lot involved in that either, but I got some good experiences from getting into the tracking scene. Off and on. I make a few surprise releases now and then, but I don't stay up to date with what's new. Old friends! Get in touch will ya?! It's sad to lose touch, and writing doesn't take much. Lol, now that sounded corny. Well, tada! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2002 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
