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

A friend introduced me to the Amiga 500 in 1991. wow I was amazed by the
machine. I could never get over the quality of the material produced from
this machine.

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

Amiga 500 and 1200. I used my machine to produce music, especially chip
mods. I was also the managaer of NEO uk and swapped with only quality
known peeps.

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

Being a musician anyway, guitar, keyboards, I have always loved sampling. I
found it rather easy. I olny wish I had stuck at it, I was getting better and
becoming recognised.

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

protracker, and some small use of octamed. (mmmm I iss protracker)

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

I'm not sure, I have a few favourites of my own, erm Larry the frog chip
tune, very simple but very good. whipped cream is also very good and LSD
DOCS 58.

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

NOT REALLY, we all had to start somewhere... I enjoyed making everyone.
I found it a way to express my self in my yourger years...

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

Musik is the life and soul of any visual. take take kefrens desert dreams,
the musik made that demo one of the best for its time. same with spaceballs
9 fingers.

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

I have not composed an computer musik sine late 95. I was such a fool to
think the scene was dead. I AM now hungry to do more, take my time and produce
only great tunes. Alls I need now is a group and a reason.

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

The quailty of todays music is great, so many formats and endless
possibilities.

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

too many to list, tunes by 4mat and lizardking stood out.

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

I don't beleive that my musik was ever that good, however I am very
confident I can do better.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

My scope in music is wide... Dr dre, snoop, r&b, folk, jazz, dance, a wide
scope...

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

4 years of pure enjoyment.. why oh why did i ever give it up.. :(

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

No.. I want to be... (only legal)
