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

  • It was when I become 10 in 1987 & all I wanted was a c64 from my father & I
    was facinated in the Game SpyHunter but I got Go for The gold instead. The
    crap u got when you bought it. Later I copy it from a friends and I was
    fetched in the Tv 24/7


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

  • C64,Atari 1040 ste , Amiga 500 , Pc


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

  • It began when I was 12 I think & I come over a Music Program called future
    Composer i started to mix the Demo tunes and found it was pretty fun to make
    music, n since then i´v been on it


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

  • Music Assembler 1.0 / Future Composer . Music Assembler become my favourite
    program coz it was very easy to use the Sequence editors , like trackers.

    Later I started with ProTracker / Octalyser on Atari


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

  • It was SilverRain on Atari the . Later Insomnia/Deep into my eyes become
    very popular in my minds that was created with Fast Tracker


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

  • Accutaly , I don´t have any tunes that I don´t wannt to remember. I have lost 3
    Tunes in my life. Else I have all well backuped in diffrent places. It´s my
    whole life. Only I knows in what purpose I made em. Every singel 1


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

  • It´s makes the whole Demo,Game. Like a movie with bad characters makes the
    movie bad. Still, without good Coders n graphicians there shouln´t be any at
    all so a good combination makes amazings results


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

  • Both.I haven´t advanced yet but I will very very soon.I´m up with some stuff,
    but I don´t have a hurry to get famous.I do it more coz it´s fun.And it´s a
    way for me to express my feelings. PPl writes in diarys,i make music


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

  • Today everyone is musicians.there are talented ppl out there, but yet it´s
    almost crap n Make overs, Covers that ppl get famous coz real Owner of the
    tune accutaly don´t get mentionen at all.& ppl don´t know it´s a cover.
    I call that to get a lift of others HARD work.Thoose ppl I personaly want
    to slap n call them the Really LAMERS


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

  • Deep into my eyes & Realize was thoose song I made in my very very hardest
    time in life.Deep Eyes got very popular & I have received alot of Fan mails
    about it , Also XerXes is a masterpiece in my opinon.But , I got very
    Angry n uppsetted when I found out that a famous Psy Trance Artist "Chi-AD"
    released a trax called "Bio-Candy", in the middel of the trax starting at
    4:30 a whole rip of my XerXes loop in the begining is present,ofcoz in slower
    Bpm n a very few notes are changed but its my Touch in it. But, I can´t do a
    shit about it.XerXes were made in 97 n BioCandy 1 year later. But of coz, it
    has not to be in that way but im usally right when I i have said other tunes
    has been ripped n later it turns out to be correct.

    My words to Him would be. IF that was a RIP. Burn in hell. Else sorry, and
    very good work!


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

  • Yeah , in fact im on it.Im planning to release it Public on my webpage later
    in 2 versions. The real n with a Convert with Reason


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • It depends... I like alot of Psy/Goa artist , I prefer older artist with the
    old touch of Trance. Like Manwithnoname, Paul oakenfold but I most sound good,
    I'm very intrested in music that mix good sounds n have a good musicality and
    makes the sounds to blend in to a masterpice.


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

  • Something noone today ever will experience.The upcome of the demoscene, Parties..
    Born of various good artist souch as Ben Daglish , Reyn Owenhand, Matt Grey
    (the ones behind Last ninja music,i think I missed one) but there is alot of
    more good musicians out there n all my respekt to them. Accutaly I maked alot of
    Convert to mod format just to get a touch of how it was to make thoose tunes.


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

  • No, I'm not, or slighly on the amiga in a Group called Nukleus, but work takes
    all the time now.It was better before when u was younger n could sit up all
    night long to make music n oversleep to school.Now im 26 n im getting old (bwah)
    I have lost alot of inspiration, I dunno if is coz im getting older or that the
    Music Scene is to big nowdays and ppl with connections get bigger. Everything
    has with Money n Greed/Glory to do. But im satisfacted with my memories in the
    old days. Damn I had fun.It´s enought for me.I have reached my goals, You can
    find my trax on the Web, also alot of info about me that I never accualy
    meantion to someone, coz I wasn´t to very big on the scene. So there are alot
    of good ppl out there making this to a legend.Thanks to you !


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

  • There is alot of ppl I want to greet n Meet personaly. But I remember one
    doode , a guy called MrMr in a group called Trance from Germany , we meet on
    TCC-93 in gothenburg.He n his Whiskey bottle hehe.. pretty fun was also when
    I saw my self sleeping on the Screen that a newsteam filmed earlier that day.

    But the main greetz should go to .. Excalibur,Galahad,Tequila(in fagersta in
    sweden),Hickok n my self Splash in the Old Tecnic Crew. We had a GREAT time !!!

    Also Greetingz to all ppl that touched/putted his/shes entire life into the
    scene,known as unknow ppl, n maked it to what it was.

    Also big greetinz to thoose ppl that working with to make the old times/artist
    to the history.

    Last words before I sign out is .... The Scene won´t be anything like it was
    before. But Im proud to have been one of them.
