Date of birth:

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

1988. I got a Amiga 500 as a gift from my father.

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

Now i got one lapptop 266mhz PII, one PII 350mhz, one Amiga 500.
I use the lapptop in my work (consultant in As/400 programming) the 350mhz
i use to make music in my studio (Midi), And i use the amiga for
flashbacks :)

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

I dont relay know. Im a vary good artis to, allways got the highest
degree in the subject painting. But i found it realy hard to paint on
a computer. I rather use my penn :)

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

In the beginning i used Soundtracker. A few mouths later Mahoney and Kaktus
released the NoiceTracker and it was realy fun. Then a few yeas later the
Group Noxious i think it was.. relaes the ProTracker and it was wrey much
better. But when i started to use PC i used FastTracker but i started
to get interested in real synths so now im only using CuBase VST in my
studio.

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

hmm.. thats a hard one. Skidrow was planning to release a music disk just
before we died and that project died when the group died in 1993-94. But
i think there are the very bestog me. To bad it did not reached the public.
But i have a lot of my old tunes baked in to my bands sound.

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

No i dont think so.. Meaby a cover of the old tune Crocket Theme. The
tune was released in a NorthStar intro in 1988 i think. Some people
acused me to have stole the tune.. i mean how difficult is it to
make a cover of Crocket Theme???. :)

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

The Lead sling. The lead sling must be good or else you find the music
bad and get tired of it. And in a demo the music must be timed with
the effects. The demo group Kefrens are very good at that point.

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

Im composing for my band in my studio. Hopefully we are getting a
recorddeal this summer. We paly some kind of techno or eurodisco.

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

I have not rely have take my self time to listen to todays music.
i have not found a good site yet. Do you got one for me? :)

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

I have allways liked FireFox of Phenomena. I rely like his style. He sounds
much like the music i listen to everyday. Synth, Itlaodisco style.
I think he is the best.

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

Yes, Some of my old tuned will be recognised in the music im working on
now. So meaby you will here it soon.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Kraftwerk, Fancy, Depeche Mode (old records), Yazoo, Ken Lazlo, Boy Tronic
Fad Gadget, The Normal, New Order, The Tubway Army mm,

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

Probebly the person i am to day. If the scene not have been a part of my
i probably not have had this interest of computers and i have not got
this good job i got now. So i thank the Scene and all the people i know.

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

No sorry. But if not Skidrow have died in 1993-94 i had surely still have
been a part of the group. But it would be fun to start again :)

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

I want to send some greetings to my nearest frieds in the scene.
