How did you get into the scene and what groups have you been a member of ?
I called some lame swapper (Yankee/Defiers) and was invited to a copy party, where I met K&M (Kaktus & Mahoneys), and I allso called Aze/The Vikings (Agile) and he learned me how to code MC... I have been a member of FLT, TSL (The Silents) and I was one of the two founding members of KULT (KLT)

What was the proudest moment in your career ?
On C64 it was when i ripped my first tune (some JCH/Jewels tune i think.)

On Amiga it was when Johannes Bjaerregaard called me up and asked me some questions about coding music-routines on the Amiga

Converting the Druid II (FLT intro) tune to Amiga. Making a lot of stupid phone calls, and being an asshole at a Party in Randers... :-)

The druid II tune conversion ...

What made you stop the scene activity ? (and do you remember when?)
I didn't make any money programming, and I got a job as an operator... then I got into music, I think I quit around 1992/93.
