    Group: Rebels

    Date of birth: 15'th of June, 1984.


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

  • Must have been around 1989 when I was playing around with my dads IBM and
    my uncles Amiga..


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

  • We've had many pc's in our home, which I used to play some games and to play
    mods. Later on, I also started using them for internet and of course composing
    music. Since my uncle had an Amiga (and I visited him alot), I used it almost
    every week. Mostly for games.. watching a few cracktros. :)


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

  • I've always been bad at math, so coding was pretty much ruled out.
    My ability to draw stopped when I was 10. :)
    My school was very music orintaited, so I learned about notes and stuff, seemed
    like a natural choice.


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

  • Fasttracker 2, Modplug and Goattracker (pc based SID tracker). I also
    use Soundforge for some editing..


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

  • None really. I don't think I'll ever be 100% satisfied with a song. Besides
    I don't even think I actually have a "real goal", I never really sit down and
    say "Now I want to make the best ever" or such..


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

  • Yeah there are plenty.. ;) Some lousy songs I did in my first 6 months of
    tracking. They should never have been released..


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

  • In a demo it is just as important as the coding and gfx. It's all these elements
    combined that make a demo. The music helps set the mood as well as providing
    synching for the effects and such.

    In a game, music also plays a great role. Without it there would be not ambience..
    and you often associate the music to the game.. so it has to be catchy. :)


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

  • Yes I am.. just for fun.


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

  • I don't really care what the formate is.. just as long as the music sounds good. I
    suppose diversity is a good thing..


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

  • There's many, but I'd say one of my favorites has to be "Space Debris" by Captain. One of
    the first mods I ever heard. Mostly anything by: Doh, Stargazer, Mystical, Ryan Cramer
    and Subject.


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

  • Nope..


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Rage against the Machine, Jean Michel Jarre, Laurent Garnier
    and Dave Brubeck.


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

  • Unfortunately I was born too late to take part in the Amiga scene, but the PC scene has given
    me alot of friends and my work with trackers has expanded my musical knowledge.


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

  • Yep.. :)


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

  • All the guys in Rebels.. all my friends..
