SMT: Hello! Tell our readers: how old
     are you?

LK: I'm 19 years old.

SMT: When did you start composing and
     what was the reason for it?

LK: Well, I started composing on the
    AMIGA in 87/88 using the old
    'SoundTracker'. The reason for it
    was that I play piano since I was
    7 years old. Also I do some 'real'
    music which is going to be
    recorded on CD after this summer.


SMT: How many modules have you already
     released?

LK: Poh, a lot! Hm, let me say 70-80.

SMT: What kind of modules are they?

LK: I have composed some chip-tunes a
    long time ago, but now I only make
    'real' modules.

SMT: Which music editor do you use?

LK: 'ProTracker' (rulzt - Ed.).

SMT: Which music editor do you think
     is the best nowadays?

LK: 'ProTracker', too. 

SMT: Which is the worst in your
     opinion?



LK: Hmmm... Really don't know.

SMT: Which AMIGA-musician(s) do you
     like best?

SMT: Which AMIGA-song do you like
     best?

LK: It's 'Overload' by TIP + MTX.

SMT: Which music disk do you like
     best? 

LK: 'Crystal Symphonies I'.



SMT: What are your hobbies besides
     computer?

LK: 'Paintball' (a game where people
    run through the forest and play
    war with paint guns - Ed.),
    meeting friends and making love
    with girls.

SMT: What kind of 'real' music do you
     like? 

LK: I like almost every kind of music.
    But you can say that I prefer
    'Jean-Michel-Jarre'.
       
SMT: What are your current activities?

LK: Well, I'm working on the tunes for 
    my 2nd music disk which is going
    to be released in the autumn. 



SMT: What do you think about people
     using your samples in their own
     songs without asking you before?

LK: Okay, let me say the following:
    they can use as lot as they want,
    because I have used them first!!!

SMT: (Hi, 4-Mat, hehe - Ed.)
     Tell our readers: which 3 things
     would you take with you on a
     lonely island (food'n'dinks are
     there enough)?

LK: 1. A boat home
    2. -
    3. -

SMT: A very serious question now!
     What's your opinion about animal
     experiments?




LK: Good question! I don't like them,
    because I love animals. I've been
    working in a zoo some years ago. I
    think that animal experiments are
    wrong!

SMT: Back to the computerworld... 
     Please, give me your non-musical
     charts. Which group do you like
     best?

LK: Hm. There aren't out very much
    productions at the moment, so I
    can't answer this question right
    now...

SMT: Which trackmo do you like best?

LK: It must be 'Desert Dream' by
    KEFRENS.

SMT: Which 1-part-demo do you like
     best?                        


LK: Well, they are very rare. I don't
    know any at the moment.

SMT: Which game do you play at the
     moment?

LK: 'DUNE 2'.

SMT: Which diskmag do you like best?

LK: 'R.A.W.' (not 'TERROR'? - Ed.).

SMT: Okay. That's it. Do you want to
     send out some greetings?

LK: No, because I don't want to forget
    anybody. But it must be said that
    I want to apologize to my contacts
    for being so lazy the last time...
    Sorry, guys!

SMT: Thanx for the interview.
