I often snaked into his room to enjoy myself with his precious treashure, as I wasn't allowed to do so. A couple of years later the C=64 was all over the world and I finally got one of them. I guess it all startet when I was about seven years old or so. I have had these computers: - 3 C=64 which I used for playing games and basic programming. - 2 C=128 for programming / music composing. - Dragon 32, I just had to get one for the fun :-) - 1 CDTV (Amiga) for playing games, music composing and drawing. - 1 Amiga 1200 for playing games, music composing and drawing. - 4 Macintoshes for drawing and graphics. - 2 PC's for drawing, graphics and 3D modelling. I started up hoping to become a fairly good coder, at the same time I fiddled around with some trackers (MedPlayer) and figured out that making music was really cool. I competed at a computer party in Norway (The Rendezvous) with a tune and a picture (had try out Deluxeplaint also), and ended third with my picture. From this moment I`ve laid my focus on graphics, and let the music come second hand of my priority. I still write my own songs and stuff like that on my guitars, and I`m hoping to start my own mini home studio just for fun. Nothing more than that since graphic design and illustrations now are my main thing, and what I do for a living, and what I enjoy doing. I'm a big fan of OctaMED, but I've done a couple of Soundtracker tunes also. Guess some other more professioal program will be used if I start over again... Cakewalk etc... Hmmm... I actually never made any good tunes, hehe. Maybe one that never have been released (or finished), that was a mix of samples and MIDI for a mini-3D space-movie I started on my Amiga long time ago... There was a couple of beats there I was quite satisfied with... To be honest I'm not actually proud of ANY of my tunes, I'm a graphician! :-) I appreciate alot of changes during the song, that the music builds up over a certain amount of time, that it does dramatic turns and smooth transitions. I'm not a huge fan of house-techno-rap etc, so anything but this appeals to me... Yep... Or... I compose my own songs on guitar, planning to do my own digital recordings and adding drums, bass etc. Just for fun as I'm too shy to do anything else out of it, and I don't see any point in doing more out of it anyway. I'm WAY over my head with competition out there, alot og great, musical dudes. I like MIDI alot, becouse the better epqipment you have, the better the sound gets! But I like converting midi, mod etc. to wave to keep the music as it shall be, to avoind changes. Not too cool spreading MIDI files and knowing that people are using all kinds of sound cards. I'm a BIG fan og Jeroen Tel, Rob Hubbard (C=64), Jester and all those classics. Just for private use. Motorpsycho, The Pixies, Depeche Mode, Barbie Bones, Fugazi, Build to Spill, Modest Mouse, and alot of other indie and alternative music. Guess not too many of you have heard about the half of these... It gave me alot of friends, alot of experience, and I'm involved in a computer game together with a fellow GODS-member (and a bounch of others), and if this goes the way we want, this can turn out to be something I can do for a living. I has given me alot if I see it from that angle! No, but my pictures are still beeing used. Sometimes pictures that are ment for other pruposes are beeing used in the scene, with my premision ofcouse, which I think is really great. My music have NEVER been used in any production, so I just have to talk about my gfx. I would like to greet all members of GODS, Darkage, old scene-friends and contacts, and to my pals at the MMORPG game project, Darkfall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2002 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
