 Interviewed by Bernard Sumner of LSD


BS: First of all, Let me congratulate
on your competition win and tell me
how long it took you to do the tune?
SN: A few weeks including sample
preparation and editing and finally
polishing was done here just hours
before the competition.

BS: Who are your inspirations?
SN: I like to listen to good dance
music, but I would never write the
kind of ravey shite that some people
entered into this comp.  My favourite
musicians include Moby/Dream Dealers,
4-Mat/Anarchy and TDK/Ind because I
like their production and melody
writing.

BS: Do you ever used ripped samples?
(I do)
SN: Well, if its good, its common
sense to use it.

BS: How did you feel when the
thunderstorm cut the electricity half
through the performance of your tune
in the competition?
SN: Completely fucked off and I
thought my chance of winning had been
greatly reduced.

BS: But it wasn't was it?
SN: No.

BS: What hardware do you use?
SN: I use MasterSound and sample it
into the Audiomaster software but
recently I have started to use the
protracker sampling software?

BS: Which English group do you think
is the best?
SN: I think the choice is between
Anarchy and Digital?

BS: Which English group do you think
is the worst?
SN: No comment!

BS: What do you think of this Quartz
party?
SN: I think its gone well and I hope
people have enjoyed themselves.

BS: Have you ever used MED?
SN: Yes, for about an hour and then I
gave up?

BS: What are your plans are there for
the future?
SN: I want to be a good actor like
Jack Nicholson and get to shag Kim
Bassinger!

BS: What did you think of the Anarchy
demo?
SN: Good coding, Good graphics, Good
Music, Good Demo!

BS: Are you gay?
SN: No!  Definitely not.

BS: What do you think of Nuke's music?
SN: Very catchy, nice melodies and
because he's a rich kid he's got all
the best synths to sample from.

BS: And finally don't you think I'm
the best musician in the universe?
SN: ...Hmmmmmmmm
