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

back when the very first Amiga 1000 Computers came to Germany...
half year earlier i saw MONTY AN RUN on a friends c64, from this
Point it was clear , i need one too.......a bit lucky i was that i had
not directly the money for C64,Floppy,SpeedDos etc etc etc....
so half year later or something i got the money for the c64...but ofcourse
i bought an A1000 ... thats how it was started.
btw: the year i dont know exactly .... over 20 year ago that all...

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

Amiga 1000, A500,A2000,HD and all that shit...
and at Work (known Software Company!) i Composed the whole Day (nah! not!)...
Producing and Publishing Games and later i was Producer (together with my Sister)
of Software like SidMon 1 + 2 , RectAngle , Cosmo Ranger, Chinese Karate, Vindex
all on Amiga! (AtariST)

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

Becaus i liked it more to play with Sid's instead wih Pixels... and the other reason
was that i Managed that Sidmon 1+2 thing!.

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

Sidmon 1+2 , Protrackers... and the first experince i made with SoundTracker
from Karsten Obarski

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

no one .... ill never liked my musik really... friends told me to
use them for this or that... thats all about... but maybe with some
Sidmon Sounds i got nearly that Goal!.... hehehe

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

own made ones which were Bad Sounds i Deleted them. so theres
really no tune ....

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

important! but has also to do which kind of game/demo the music
is for.

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

YES! indeed i do ... but cannot more say about that!....

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

well... i liked more to experience with waveforms and sid's etc.

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

Rob Hubbard (Monty on Run, thing on a spring etc.) martin Galway, jochen Hippel
Chris Hüslbeck all these dudes earn my BIGGEST RESPECT... and there are lots more!

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

wish i had the time for this!....

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

well i still like BREAKDANCE Musik Erik B&Rakim,africa Bambaata,Grandmaster flash
but even Johnny Guitar Watson or Oliver Shanti or Anne Clark iam listenning to.
youll see many different styles!

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

everything.... fun... and i wouldn't be here now . . .
