mmmhh, apart from the oldschool stuff I know there are some amazing C64 SID-tune remixes out there
What is/are your favorite picture(s) - from a demo production or a scener(released outside of a demo)?:
don't ask me such difficult questions, please
What music program are you using the most to express yourself? Why?:
my guitar (regarding the expression). Steinberg Nuendo 4/Native Instruments Kore 2 and Komplete and a few EastWest libs
Which composer, artist or group of the real life did inspire you most?:
Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, Sevendust, Depeche Mode, Rob Hubbard, Mike Patton

guitar, bass guitar, clarinet

I guess it was the WoC-Demo Wicked Sensation by TRSI because we went out there as a team at the WoC exposition 1992 and ruled the fucking place
We nerds! I had pimples, specs and greasy long hair. My god, what a beautiful time!
What is your favorite demo, intro, megademo, retrogame, slideshow, musicdisk, diskmag, wilddemo?:
OMG, I just don't know the stuff...all I can say is that I liked ASD'S Beyond The Walls Of Eryx - it has a homogeneous look and just feels like computer art, not like some nerdy scene stuff
Discuss: minimalistic demos, cracktros, fucktros, joke demos, lamers, compo winners at big parties, demotools, diskmags, chiptunes, glenz vectors, programming languages, photoshop, textmode:
No no NOOOOOOOOOooooooo..........
I like Photoshop.
I don't like chiptunes btw. Well, at least I don't like to make them.
What percentage of modern demos are 3d flybys?:
Is this trivia? 99%?
What percentage of older demos are the same effects recycled?:
What?
What platform(s) needs more demos?:
None. Demos need more attention by non-scene-related communities.
Which parties do you intend to go to, and which parties would you like to go to? Please describe your personal experiences with your most favourite or impressive party you have ever been at.:
I drove to some big hall in Denmark to get drunk with the TRSI guys back in the days. That evening it had 2 meters of snow or something. That was impressive.
Let's see how the Breakpoint 2008 works out.....:-)
How did the scene alter since you are taking an active part in it? Can you explain why?:
I broke up with the scene almost 15 years ago. I came back when I realized that there are still a LOT of people who for some reason still admire all the oldschool stuff I made. So I thought it would be fun "coming back". I was right. Further than that I can't explain anything.
What are your dreams/goals in life, did scene help you and have you achieved them yet?:
Well, yes. It helped me a lot in achieving a career as an audio engineer and musician. Though I'm trying hard to do more music instead of engineering but I still have to feed a family, you know.
Finally, do you have some special greetings? Feel free to add links to your graphics, screenshots of effects, modules or other pieces of your work.:
Greets to my oldschool companions, whoever reads this.
Greets to my funny new fellows from Brainstorm.
