INTERVIEW WITH MAD FREAK OF ANARCHY Made by Wolfman / BALANCE (MF = Mad Freak of ANARCHY ) (BLC = Wolfman of BALANCE ) BLC : So what is your real name? Age? Hobbys (besides computing) ? MF : :Well, my real name is Martin Schiøler ! I'm 19 years old! I like to play golf and then some soccer with my friends now and then... BLC : What education are you taking? MF : Well, I'm gonna be educated to a datamatician at the Businesschool ! BLC : When did you start at the scene? MF : Well, for about 3 years ago when I bought my computer! I saw some demos (it was in the RSI MEGADEMO time) and I thought it looked quite exiting and I began to make some music! BLC : In which groups have you been? MF : Well, this is not in any correct order, but I have been in Exellence , Legion , Deadlock , Brainstorm and now I'm in ANARCHY as you know. BLC : How do ya like being in ANARCHY ? And what do you think of the members? MF : It's great! I really don't know many members, but I do know Hannibal and Trix who is a very nice organizer! BLC : What kinda REAL music do ya like? MF : Huh, it's really kind of mixed. Hm, Front 242 , Front Line Assembly is quite nice to listen to, it's industrial music, but that is far from all that I listen to. I really like all kinds of music. To say it I even like classic music as well, so I'd say that my taste of music is rather undefinable! BLC : Do you play any instruments? And which ones? MF : Well, I have a keyboard which I play on, but it's really nothing spe- cial, I don't play anything like piano or anything... BLC : When did you begin to be interes- ted in music? MF : When I was 7 years old I began to listen to a lot of music, but I never played any instruments at that time! BLC : From which non-computer com- posers do you get your inspiration? MF : HHM, eeer! Well, I don't really get inspiration from anyone, when I listen to some music I maybe hear something I like. Then when I make music I unaware of it, use a chord or something like that, but never anything direct, like some others do... BLC : How much time does it take you to make tunes, like the ones in 3D-Demo ? MF : Hmmm, about 2 months. I guess that it's quite a long time BLC : Hannibal said in some interviews that you are very lazy! Is that true? MF : Eeeerm, I guess so. I really work quite slow, I'm gonna have to improve that cuz if I'm gonna work at some gamemusic it must necessarely go quite fast, so I will improve (I hope)! BLC : Who's your favorite computermusi- cian? MF : Well, that is an easy one! It is without doubts Chris Huelsbeck . He is VERY skilled and makes brilliant mu- sic, so that's who I like... BLC : There have been a lote of discu- sion about Mantronix & Tip / PHA ! How do YOU like them, I mean their style of music and behaviour? MF : Well, I gotta say that I have ab- solutely nothing against them. I know them both quite well, and I have only had good experiences with them. Many say that they can't make nothing than, disco and things like that, okay maybe that's what we mostly have heard from them, but one gotta ad- mit that they are good at it, I also know that they both are really skilled and is able to make much more than disco or whatever people say. BLC : Will you quit the Amiga sometime and begin to compose professional, or what? MF : I wont quit the amiga in any way, but I'll begin to make music for games and stuff like that, that's what I've always wanted to do and I already have some things going... BLC : Will you go to the musicschool? MF : NO WAY! I do like music very much and I really take it seriously, but I don't beleive that going to school would really make me much better, nor would the music I'm making now help me, I would maybe learn some more stuff about music and learn to listen to it in other ways, but no! I really wouldn't like to go to school for seve- ral years for it, so that's that! BLC : How do you like the other musi- cians in ANARCHY , like: Nuke , NHP & BKH , Maestro etc. MF : Well, I can't say anything bad about any of them. The French guys are very good and very productive, I guess that Nuke is the coolest musi- cian in ANARCHY , he first of all makes faboulous nice music. Further more, he makes his music as HE likes it, he ne- ver says like: "NOW I wanna make a great piece of music that everybody loves!" he never really makes the music for the listeners, he makes what he likes him self, and everyone else likes it as well I guess (I know I do)... BLC : So! What do you think about the scene these days? MF : UUH! I'm afraid I have some bad words for that. I think it kinda stop- ped! It's like there's nothing really new going on. It started to stop for about 1 and a half year ago, just when the vector began it's entry for real. After that it was almost all vector, vector, vector! Okay now and then there were new ideas like plasma and other small things, but there have been vector in all demos, maybe not the same all the time, but vector. I really can't say that there's any really re- volutionary new ideas or legendary de- mos... BLC : Then what about HARDWIRED from SILENTS / CRIONICS ?! MF : Okay! That's an exception, HARDWI- RED is really great! There's vector in that too, but then there's many other great effects and new ideas, furthermore the demo is really brilliantly designed by Kyd /Balle ! BLC : What do you think about computer- music nowadays? MF : Hmmm, much of it is really nice, but a lot of it is really the pure effecttrip! Like some music from Man - tronix & Tip , they have a tendensy to sometimes shadow the melody with all kind of effect and stuff. It's not only MTX & TIP , there's people doing it always! I think that's just what I like about Chris Huelsbeck ! He really makes the melody and he doesn't hide it in ef- fects you really get the music and no more, so that's it! BLC : Well, I think this was all for now have you got any words for out honered readers before you say goodbye?! MF : Word for your readers?! Well, I.... Uuuuh, Eeeeer...Hnmmmm, NO I wouldn't say that, I'm sorry I haven't got any last words!! BLC : Well, okay we'll survive without, see ya and have a nice day! Byeeeee! MF : Yeah bye!
