        INTERVIEW WITH JASON
-----------------------------------

You have just won the RAW "Most sexy
man  at Crystal, Silents and Anarchy
party" What's your comments?

Oh  dear,  oh  dear......This truely
mean  a  lot to me and my family....
Just  think  of it; Being picked out
as   the   biggest  fag  among  1250
FAGGOTS!....(No   offence,  please!)
-Jesus,  I"m just TOO overwhelmed to
comment  any  further  on this case.
..But  wait...   I  wanna send a big
TANK  (yes!,  a tank!) to the people
who  helped  me  through  the period
with     make-up,     clothing     &
attitude-lessons...  (..and a little
hello  to  my  diskdrive as well...)
Now...   That  was  it.   Thank  you
girls..

Do  you think you will get many jobs
as models after this award?

As     a     model??...      -Me?..
(harhar..),   ehhrm...    Well,   my
sister  Cindy (Craw...) once told me
to  GO  FOR IT!.  (the modelbuisness
though..),..and  I  got  quite eager
too...but  then  my  mother  Whitney
came  along,  and told me to CUT THE
CRAP!   -She  pulled me back down on
earth   right  away...   So  here  I
am,..selling condoms in Ethiopia....
(som  Toppen Beck sa:  Det er da lov
til aa dr0mme, selv for en kl0ne som
meg!..(Hi Raider/Motion!))

What's    your    salary    to    be
photographed naken?


Photographed  you  said?.  Usually I
take  100 MF2-HD disks pr.  picture,
but after this unbearable success, I
estimate  to  increase  my prices to
around  150  pcs.   pr.   pic.  -Get
it??

---- feeeeel the vibratiooooons ---- 

Now,   over   to  the  more  serious
aspects of this interview.

In  a  magazine  Mantronix said that
nearly    all   musicians   in   the
eurochart   truly   SUCKS  (Tip:   I
couldn't  say  it  better) Since you
are  not in the Eurocharts you maybe
agree in this opinion?

First  of  all  I must say that I am
very sorry that the Crusaders had to
give  up  on  the Eurocharts....  (I
remember  the  the  night before the
FIRST   issue   was   about   to  be
released....Bjoern  Lynne  tried  to
work  his  butt off (but it wouldn"t
fall off), and then his monitor went
--CRASH!--....Deadlines  sure  are a
burden!)..Anyway.   It  was one hell
of   an   idea!    -   Thanks  guys!
Well....   Mantronix  said  that the
E.C.list-musicians   SUCKS..   I  am
sorry,   Mtx.   I  am  not  agree...
ofcourse  SOME  of  the  guys  don"t
deserve to be there, but many of you
are  real  good!  Infact...  some of
my  favourite  Amigamusicians are on
that    list.     Such   people   as
Bruno-Anarchy  and Moby-Dreamdealers
are  not  malplaced  in  any  way...
Infact I think they deserve a better
place  in  the charts.  (but I guess
THATs   just  MY  oppinion  though.)
Nuke-Anarchy,              Heatbeat-
Carillion....these  guys are not bad
at  all.....  The guys we SHOULD get
rid   of,   is  the  ones  who  just
digitize  looong  rythm  & basslines
(60Kb each), and later add them into
the  tracker...   These guys are low
quality musicians, and should not be
on  the  charts.   (It  is O.K to do
this  once  in  a  while,  but  when
persons  does NOTHING but this, it"s
far too much.)

Have  you  some  comments  on  whats
happening in MON lately?


Maniacs   Of   Noise   have  serious
problems,  or  maybe  I  should say;
Øistein    Eide    has   problems...
Anyhow,  MON  can"t seem to find any
members  that  are  good  enough for
O.E.   I  believe Charles Deenen has
more  or  less given up the music ON
AMIGA,  and I find only Øistein Eide
as  the  only responsible person for
this  group.   I  think it is rather
stupid  of  Øistein  Eide  to  "mess
with"   Tip/Mtx  the  way  he  does,
because they are very popular at the
AmigaScene,  and  I belive they will
get  well-  known among the software
companies too.

Who  do  find  the  best musician of
Oistein Eide and TIP?

Actually  I belive that Øistein Eide
is  far better than TIP in composing
music   with  synthesizer-equipment,
but  TIP  has his special "touch" on
the AMIGAMODULES.  Øistein is also a
great  Amigatracker, and his samples
are   very   good,   but   it  ain"t
acceptable  to  use  350  Kb on a 30
seconds long module like he does.

                     < Flip Page>

Some   members  of  Deadline  joined
Kefrens,  but  now  you're  the only
norwegian left in this group.  Why?

No,  No,  No....That  was  all a big
mistake  (and  a  fuckin" long story
too).    So   specially   interessed
people should write-, or call me for
a more detailed explanation.

Is your name Jason taken from Friday
13th  part 1 - 100 ?  If yes, do you
find   yourself   like  jason?   For
example do you wear a hockey mask?

Yes,  and no..  The name Jason is an
inspiration    from    the    Friday
13th.-movies,  but  I  also  find it
amusing  in  connection  to  my last
real  name;  Jensen.  When I choosed
the  pseudo-nym, I wanted a personal
NAME!....   not  a  THING  like "The
Magic  Soul  /  Shitfuckers"  etc...
UC??   Another thing I like with the
name; I don"t have to go kill people
if  they  come up with the same name
as  me..   -- Jason -- .  Jason is a
comon NAME and it"s just meant to be
a  protection  for  me.   (I DO have
some  (c)-programs  ofcourse.) If my
real  name  was Peter, I wouldn"t go
around  being  mad  at  other people
with  the  same name...  (I hope you
understand    )   BTW:(   How   many
different names do you think Michael
Jackson or Prince have had?)
In the music competition you did not
come  among  the  30  ones  who  got
played  for  the audience.  Are your
music  so bad?, or do you make music
that  is so good that nobody realize
how good it is(!?).

O.K.      Let     me     get    this
straight....Anders   Hamre  /  Amiga
Freelancers  and  I,  delivered  our
modules to the information where the
music  was supposed to be delivered.
When  the organizers started to play
off the 30 best tunes, we heard some
rather  bad  ones  in the beginning.
When we heard the weak beginning, we
were  sure of being picked out among
the  30  best, and just sat back and
waited.   (also  one chip-tune on 17
Kb   showed   up!...   terrible!...)
Well...   time  passed, and soon all
30 tunes were played.  The hell!  We
were   not   picked  out  among  the
30....One   good  contribution  from
Static  Bytes  was also "let out"...
We  all  got sort of pissed off, and
went to get our disks back.  But the
strange  thing IS, however, ..  When
we  went  to  get  those  disks, the
organizers   couldn"t   find  them!!
They   searched   through   all  the
contributions    TWICE,   but   they
couldn"t  find  our  disks...  Sorry
Mac!   A great competition!!  We may
not  be among the winners, but among
those 30 best.-- Hell, YES!

If  my  music  is good or bad...Well
you"ll  have  to wait & see!  If you
wanna  hear  it, be sure to get hold
of  the  "Decibel  Desperados" music
disk.   It  is to be released around
summertime-92.   The  Disk  will  be
Co-Operation  between  Kefrens-Amiga
Freelancers-Silents & Deadline.  GET
IT!    (hope  you  didn"t  mind  the
commercial break there.)

You  said that if you just make some
guitar  riffs  to  an  old  song you
would have won the music compo?  You
didn't do it!  Are too proud to make
such low level music?

Oh  boy, oh boy...  I understand you
listened  real  close when we talked
at  the  party  in Aars.  Anyway....
That  quote is actually not mine (It
was  formulated  by  Anders Hamre at
the  Razor-Party  in  Arendal),  but
sometimes  it  seems  like it is the
way to get a tune popular.  (Just as
an  enlightenment:  The winning tune
at  the  AMEGA-party AND the winning
tune    at    the    RAZOR-IMP-party
contained  both  guitars....  that"s
just  the  way  it  is!) -Ofcourse I
didn"t  do  it!....  guitars doesn"t
fit      in     everywhere.-Am     I
proud??...Noooway..   what  should I
be   proud   of?   That"s  BULL!....
every day I try to improve my music,
like  (hopefully) all other trackers
do.

Some musicians say that people can't
differ  taste  from  talent.  Do you
agree?

Yes,indeed....   Taste and talent is
two  very  different  aspects  of  a
trackers  life.   I  often  like  to
listen to Techno-Rave & HIP HOP, but
that type of music is VEEERY easy to
make, if you have just got the right
equipment  and the right taste.  But
a  techno-composer  is worth NOTHING
compeared  to  the real talents like
Bach,Strauss,Phil    Collins    etc.
etc....   This  is  how  I  mean you
should differ TASTE from TALENT.  An
Amigamodule  may  be  COOL, but that
doesnt mean it"s talented..

                   
Tell   me  the  5  greatest  modules
released in 1991?


1991??....   I  haven"t  heard every
single  module  this year, but among
those I have heard:

 1. ??? from a Silents Fr.demo 
    By:   NHP & BKH / Silents Fr.
 
 2."Face Another Day"  
    By Jogeir Liljedal / Noiseless

 3."Ghaza" 
    By  Bjoern Lynne (Dr.Awesome)  

 4."BackTracking"
    By  Nightlight 
 
 5."GarbageCollection" 
    By Peter / PMC 		  

I  may  have heard some better ones,
but  I  can"t  remember  them  right
now...

Can  you  tell me what Kefrens is up
to release?

Yes   of   course...(well..   almost
everything!)

-  A  new  demo  for  a party in DK,
   February.

-  A  slideshow  -  R.W.O.   called 
   "Masterpieces"

-  The  Co-Op  musicdisc  - "Decibel
   Desperados"

-  A CrackIntro for Vision Factory

-  MultiMegaMix II

Is  the  NEW  Kefrens as good as the
OLD Kefrens?

I  don"t like to use the expressions
"NEW  Kefrens" and "OLD Kefrens",but
when they wrote "The New Kefrens" in
the  first  demo  after the break, I
was  not a member of the group, so I
can  not  comment  on that.  I think
Kefrens  today  will be just as good
as the earlier version of the group.
Ofcourse  we  will  all miss persons
like   Promax   and  Metallion,  but
sometimes  we  will  all have to say
stop.    But   still,  some  of  the
veterans   are  left;....   MELLICA,
R.W.O, RAZMO, LAXITY, KELIC.....

Ok,  If  you still have something to
tell  the  world  you better tell it
now  because I will not ask you more
questions:


Yes  I  would  like  to say that....

--Kefrens Members Are:--

    KELIC   - R.W.O
    LAXITY  - KRUEGER
    MELLICA - VENTION
    S.L.L.  - HAWKEYE
    RAZMO   - JASON

..and that anyone else who claims to
be  a  member  of --- KEFRENS --- is
rather  misformed  or  just  fucking
stupid.
