Interview with Spoon/Nerve Axis 
.........by Smaugur/NLS........

Hello Spoon! 
it's time for some 
wonderful questions.

Smaugur: First tell me how you 
         became an Amiga musican.

Spoon: Well, 
       me and Jam got our hands on 
some  sound proggy, I think it was 
Sound FX or something like that 
and then sometime later found 
Soundtracker and there was no 
turning back :) that was back 
in 1988.  We had already before 
we got the amiga started to fiddle 
around with some music programs on 
the 64  allthough we didn't finish 
anything.So we kinda started look-
ing around for music progs as soon 
as we got the Amiga.


S: What kind of music 
   are you doing?

Spoon: Dance music, mostly deep 
       jazzy house these days 
though we have done almost 
every kind of dance music 
through the years.


S: What equipment  are you using 
   when you are producing tunes?

Spoon: We use an old  Microdeal
       sampler on the Amiga and 
we sample a bit on the  pc as well 
(great editors on it :)).   In the 
past we have sampled directly from
a Korg Poly800,Roland JX sumthing,
Yamaha DX7  and some other synths, 
we  mainly sample  sounds from CDs 
now though (lazy bastards)


S: And what do you eat for 
   breakfust?

Spoon: What kinda question is 
       that? 
I'm not gonna answer that :)


S: Have you made any covers?

Spoon: Not many no  but we've made 
       I think about 5-6 or so (my 
memory fails me haha)  Even though 
we would  classify them as remixes 
not covers.


S: Can you listen to every kind of 
   music  or do you disslike  some  
musicstyles?, If that is the case, 
tell me then which styles you cant
listen to and why?


Spoon: I can listen to almost 
       anything  more or less
allthough I find most country 
to be extremely boring and I avoid 
it at all costs.  
Also death/black metal is not my
thing.


S: Tell me where you get your 
   inspiration from  when you 
compose a song?

Spoon: Spur of the moment things 
       :) Depends on the mood Im 
       in.


S: What selfmade tune are 
   you most proud of?

Spoon: Climax, we've never spent 
       as much time  producing a 
tune as much as this one and 3rd 
world  is a tune we are proud of 
because  it was quite  difficult 
to finish properly.


S: Which parties have you 
   attended?

Spoon: I attended ASM in '94 and 
       Jam went to SIH'95 where 
we got 3rd place in the music 
compo with Climax :)


S: Are you/your group planning any 
   realese you want to tell 
   the readers about?

Spoon: Yes, Nerve Axis is doing 
       another demo :)


S: Do you have any final words 
   Spoon?

Spoon: Contrary to rumours that 
       have been spreading, Jam 
has not quit  the scene  and Im 
not going solo!

Cheers
