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

  • My interest in computers began approx. 1982, when the Commodore 64 saw the
    light of the world. I began on that to program for the group " The bug "
    Songs with the sound monitor of Chris Huelsbeck after they ask me for that.


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

  • At present I operate with a P4 1000 GhZ. I compose Trailer and loops for
    different radio stations as well as music pieces for Multimedia & computer
    games. Additionally & program I create Internet pages on that.


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

    and programming. :o)

  • Only Emagic Logic Audio 4 Platinum.

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

  • I believe which I my target will never achieve, because I constantly continue
    to develop. That according to my opinion technically best module was
    flight.mod


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

  • Music is a very important constituent in demos and games, since it underlines
    tendencies and by the music the correct atmosphere is achieved!

    Multimedia and Games as well as Trailer for radio stations.


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

  • I think the MP3 an important constituent in the music scene am, even for
    Newcomer, in order to spread your pieces. From MIDI hold I not as much,
    since it depends on the sound card whether the piece sounds good or not.


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

  • The Delta-Title song from the C64....mmmmm

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

  • I think which I during my scene time i`ve learned very much about and computer
    and composing music.


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

  • No, for the moment not. I am however again interested in it!
