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

wupps.. i think this was in the early 80´s ..
i programed some games on a Spectrum Computer.

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

Spectrum Sinclair - programming games and funstuff
Commodore C20 - playing
Commodore C64 - playing
Schneider CPC464 - programming a word-processor (never finished)
Amiga 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 programming intros and demos,
started using PROTRACKER, i compose many tunes for intros and some games!
Intel PC 486/ DX20 - NOTHING .. this machine was TOO slow...
Apple Macintosh Quadra 950 - sequencing in midi and doin artwork with photoshop.
Apple Macintosh e604 - also started to get into 3d-animations with CINEMA 4D, ELECTRIC IMAGE and POSER4

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

i dont end up music NEVER in my life!..

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

on amiga i used PROTRACKER and TFMX-Editor from Chris Hülsbeck!

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

i think this was pianoodle.. but dont blame me, this is very long ago.

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

YES,, a former member of TRSI called NUTRIBRAIN cames someday to me a
played an old song of me.. it was some of my first work on protracker and
there was a vocalsample from myself (OK, LETS GO!) .. damn was this a
shitty song. hehe

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

The music MUST fit into atmospheric of a game or demo.. i think thats the only
WAY to get the best art out of the product.

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

yeah, iam very active.. iam in a little success now on mp3.com .. i got many
songs online (32!) .. as mp3.com provides me with some payback for playback
i also earn NOW some money with my music. I would like every to join my site
and listening to my tracks, it is also possible to buy CDs. Thats enough
commercial or? hehe

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

as i use NOW all of these music-formats i think they are great, but it was
also cool to use 8bit samples in a 4 track song. damn, must we use tricks
to get music out of the program. hehe

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

all stuff of Romeo Knight was cool and a song called Klissje pa Klissje
(dont know the right title for now, it sounds like this, hehe)

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

dont really know, perhaps i should get some reaction upon this interview????
.. who knows?

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

chicane, paul van dyk, william orbit, underworld, orbital and some others ..
i also love to listen to good unsigend stuff from mp3.com ..

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

many beer, partys and and a pumpin head. hehe .. .. hmm.. i found some cool
friends and got many inspirations for my music!

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

no, i even dont know anybody in the actual TRSI group... some dudes i met
on ICQ like Flynn, Madison and so on..

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

i would like to greet my girl and all the friends in scene i still know.
hold on mates!
