Date of birth:

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

Sometime in the early 90's, when i started using my modem and downloaded
intros, demos and alike.

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

Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, then later on i started with PC. The Amigas i
used to play
games, irc and do music with protracker.

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

coding?

I had no talent at all with programming or gfx, but I did have 3 friends
who did programming and gfx
so i started doing music.

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

Protracker, 99% of the time. I did do some music with fasttracker on the
PC for a while.

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

cascade.mod. really sweet chipmodule which gave me great response from
my friends.

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

Not that I can think of..

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

Good music makes up for a third of the demo. Without good music, the use
of good programming and
good graphics are wasted.

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

I no longer compose anything, tho I have felt the urge from time to time
to make a mod or two again.

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

Not much really, nowadays it feels like people just create a small thing
on a synth and loop it 300 times.
There's not the same love in the music like there was in the old days.

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

radix - my little pony
most of lizardkings mods were great

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

no.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I listen to all kinds of music, I'm yet to find a genre that I don't like.

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

I've got so much good memories from the amiga-days, especially going to
the big demoscene-parties like
The Party and such, having great fun with mates and competing against
other great musicians.

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

No I am not, tho I still hang around on irc and talk with old friends
from time to time.

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

U-Man, Zoltrix, Cesspool, Scarface, Hei-Di <3, Nike, The entire
CRAZE-team, Sal-one.. I miss you all guys.
