Later i just played video games and then i stopped doing that too.. and had a break from the computer world. But one day the summer of 1994 me and a friend of mine that knew Laz/ex-3le, went to laz place and listened to modules, played games, watched demos. From that moment i was totaly lost in the the world of computers again. Me and laz became really close friends and and i bought an a500 to start tracking. Altough i didnt do much tracking at all until i bought an amiga1200 summer of 95. Then i could sit for hours just to end up doing really shitty modules, (still do :) Atari2600 - gaming.. donkey kong rules :) commodore 64, gaming until it crashed one day. Amiga500, gaming and looking at demos. I guess thats becouse the sceners in my hometown where almost only traders and musicians. Except for laz who made pixel art's too. Anyway i just liked to do music, becouse i felt it was the most creative choice for me. Sonix music (a about one month, hehe) Then protracker, and later on digibooster sometimes. Also some ahx tracking, ut wery few releases. Hmm.. really hard to tell, but i guess in warp made me feel i had some energy to bring to the dancefloor,or rather the demoparty floor? :) hehe.. i wont even tell you, i made some really crappy stuff but i never released much from that "crap-only" era. Music means a lot to a demo, it makes the atmosphere of a demo or game, giving the impression that a game/demo has the touch that the designer/coder wanted it to have. Naah.. i just make modules for fun. I have some plans, as all other tracker musicians that just ends up to be unknown :) I dont mind using a new media, but a mod is a mod and that is and art that cant be compared to new stuff like that. I mean, modules can never compete with midi stuf becouse it's just two separate worlds. That list would be long.. I like most of heatbeats stuff, dizzy, groo, supernao,nuke.. and all 200 other really good tracker's i forgott, Not likely.. maybye i go pro someday but it wont be modules then.. maybye buzz or a simular newskol tracker in that case. Or programs like Reason.. hardware is way expensive. Hmm.. mostly all of warp records stuff, björk, r.e.m sometimes, jimmy hendrix, the doors. kraftwerk and many other groups with strange names.. Plessure of making something that other people (at least some of them) like. Yes, tracking as usual,but im not as fanatic as before. Hometown chipmate Coma of course, and laz too.. Stain/ex-classic for having cool boozepartys back in the days:) All my friends in uprough and all others that i got to know in the scene. Im off.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2001 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
