Date of birth:

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

When a friend of mine's brothah got an amiga as a birthday gift. He did some
music, and we played some games, but I was caught with the music and started
learning the piano right after. ~1990

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

Just a NES and perhaps a SEGA MegaDrive. Well I played ALOT.

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

I was musically talented ( I guess :), but I also did some gfx and do today
also.

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

MED, octaMED, Protracker. Mainly Fasttracker2 and now since ~2k or whenever
the first buzz betas started I am using that too. Mostly Fasttracker though.
Some Goattracker also. What's interesting now is Aero, by Harcoonan.. Seems
promosing!

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

(None) I was in national radio with one of my songs and at the time I felt
comfortable with it, but not now.. no.

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

?? Why shouldn't I?

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

A demo falls or stands with the music. It's supposed to do I think..
Fast'n'Fancy programming and music - That's a demo õ_O hmm probably not, but
music's what I think is perhaps most important in a demo.

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

Still composing.. Doing some hardcore action for dreamhack (1 month left
phew)! Hope the other in the crew are working their ass:es of too!

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

Good, but harder to c0de demos with.

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

Well a lot of amiga games are gr8.. supercars, lotus (credz : BARRY LEECH),
NES music: megaman2(no shit sherlock!)......Last Ninja (Instant Remedy)
Commando etc. Also Mahoney&Kaktus musicdisks for amiga.. MM!

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

Some things are not needed to be remastered. especially not all the .MODs
and the .SIDs.. that'd be B.A.D! False above all.. But no.. I am not
planning at all, cuz I'm not the biggest in the business T_T, sad but true.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

The Cure, Autechre, R.E.M. Shakira, Afx Twin, Eat Static, Kylie Minouge,
Robyn. etc.

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

A history.

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

See 8-

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