Note:
The Interview was conducted at The Party 1994 in Denmark
and later published in Chit Chat issue 15 on the Amiga.
Lizard nickname at Bitfellas is MagnarTBL. Lizard recently
joined Scoopex. Enjoy!
Magic:
What do you think of the Dutch Spaceballers?
Lizard:
Well, hm.. Those Maniacs??? Actually they're quite normal, with a few exceptions! Always out partying instead of doing something useful on the computer, right Facet? They also speak funny! - We Norwegians are constantly trying to force'em to speak Norwegian, but... They're slow learners! This is written with a big exception of SuperNao!
Magic:
What's your opinion of The Party IV so far, and the just hold music competition?
Lizard:
I slept during most of the competition. So I've only heard the last tunes. However, I met a complete unknown musician, and I saw his comments on the tunes. Mostly techno, with *very* low grades! ... But what could you expect???? The organizors had changed the rules, (yes, also modified the ones stated in all the text-files etc.) and sad news was:
The competition tune MUST be below 392kb long!!!!!!
Personally I had made a tune on 1MB, with a lot of great guitar samples and stuff, but ofcoz I wasn't ALLOWED to compete with it! So I think that it was a stupid rule to surprise all of us with at arrival.
Magic:
How many modules did you make up to now, and what's your best module?
Lizard:
I've released a couple of tunes, but out of over 100megs with modules, only a few megs have been released
But I'm currently working on several different projects, including a Music Disk and I guess I'll get a chance to release some of them in the near future. And what's my best module??? Hmmm... Personally I like the tune 'Quiet Evening' best, because of all the work I sepnd on the sample-process etc.
Magic:
Do you like the Internal Spb magazine, and how did you like the Ascii Picture of Facet's room?
Lizard:
Well.. It's ok
Magic:
When was the last time you..
...Changed your handle?
1988/1989.. I was calling myself 'Assassin' but really wanted to call myself 'Wizard'! Unfortunately, there was about 10 guys on the C-64 that called themself that, so I started to search for a handle close up to Wizard...! tried: Aizard, Bizard, Cizard, Eizard...Lizard... And then my handle got born!
...Played a game?
Last night... A 'nice' vector-game. But I am not a 'gamer'-type so...
...Released a tune?
Last week I guess
...Puked because of boozing?
Hehehe... Long time ago! I've only puked 2 times in my lifetime... My first came at a New-year eve, and my second one for a year ago or so.
Magic:
Which musicians do you like, and name one in particular which you adore...
Lizard:
I really like a lot of musicians! Shorty, Jason, Groo, Dizzy, Heatbeat, Vinnie, Supernao, Spaceman, Julius, Sould, Elf, Moby and Delorean. My favourite though, must be Dizzy. Great melodies, and unique chords used with excellent skill and talent. But all the ones I mentions are my favourites. I don't like to talk about only one of them, because all of them are skilled!
Magic:
Can you name any coming productions from Spaceballs?
Lizard:
Yeay! We're working on several projects at the moment. We're supposed to release some demos at The Gathering '95, and seven some Music-disks will come. (Also one with Code, GFX andMusic by Lizard himself Ed.) And for my own part, I'll be busy orginizing a better party than the one I'm sitting on right now!
Magic:
Ok thanx a lot mate I will not ask more questions. (A party is a party you know..) Anyway if you have any messages please type some!
Lizard:
No messages this time! On with the Party...
