Interview with Jason / Lemon. / CRS
-------------------------------------
by Dolphin

Ed.   Please  introduce yourself with
som  personal  information, like your
previous groups, future plans etc.

Jsn.  Jepp,I am an 18 year  old bloke
from the country of lovely women...		
N o r w a y!  I  would die for MUSIC,
and computer technology. My line of
groups goes like this: 
DEADLINE-->KEFRENS-->SILENTS-->CRS---
-->L E M O N. !!  My future plans are
like sleeping and drinking milk..nah.
Well, I am about to release  a MUSIC-
DISK, and  some  music  for a Lemon.-
intro... a tune for this mag and some
background accoustics for Bjorn Lynne
and his AM/FM series...Also music for
2 games  from Black Legend  is coming
your way...

Ed.   Not  long  ago,  you joined the
notorious group Crusaders.  Currently
this  group looks a bit unproductive.
Can  you  say  a few words about what
the  situation is in Crusaders today?
If there are any, can you reveal some
future plans or coming productions?

Jsn.  Hehe..a BIT unproductive??  CRS
are  a  bunch  of guys that had their
active    priod   during   the   late
eighties.   Some  of them are getting
married,  and  they settle down, gets
kids,,etc..   BUT  since I know these
guys,  I  manage  to  have  GREAT FUN
together  with  them, and I look upon
The   Crusaders (TM) as  a  group  of
friends..       NOT     an     active
scenegroup..That's not why I joined..
I  joined  because of the friendship!
You should not expect very much soft-
ware  productions  from  CRS, but of-
course,The Gathering'94 will blow yer
mind next easter!!  sTaY tUnEd!!

Ed.     As   an   accepted,   popular
musician,  you  probably  don't  have
this kind of problem, but I'm talking
about newcomers.  It seems to me that
fame  may come before talent at music
competitions.   It  seems  to me that
the   judging   is  somewhat  unfair.
Sometimes  famous  persons get picked
out,  due  to lack of time.  (E.g the
organizers haven't got enough time to
listen  to  all entries.) What do you
think of this?  Is it a problem?

Jsn.  This is  a  well known  problem
among   all  newcoming musicians. The
feeling of being ignored as a starter
is very depressing. When you say that
the unfairness  is  caused by lack of
time, I do not quite agree. In compe-
titions  at  parties,  the goal is to
make   a   tune   that   fetches  the
audience's attention  emediately from
the very  beginning of  the tune.This
seems to be very hard for many of the
newcoming  musicians.  They  tend  to
enter the competition with tunes that
are not very strong in the opening...
This  may  sound  like  bullshit, but
since  the juries usually consists of
random  picked  people  with   little
musical knowledge, you have to compo-
se a  tune  that  has an  interesting
opening, so that the jury will notice
it. Wellknown and experienced musici-
ans   usually  know  how   to    take
advantage  of  this, and  they DO IT!
I can  understand many of the  bitter
guys out there, that have been turned
down  in  competitions,  but  this is
just the way it is...  Most  contests
are d i r t y ! but you have  to know
how to get in the backdoor.
(just as a reminder: Both Jester  and
Nuke was let down in the  music-compo
at THE PARTY  2  in Denmark, Des.93 )

Ed.   Many  musicians have been hired
to  make  music  for games.  Have you
ever  made  music for software firms?
If  not, would you have concidered to
make music commercialy?
Jsn. Yes,  I have  recently  composed
some  music  for the game  ADDICTIVE!
from Black Legend, and are doing  in-
game tunes for two other games  right
now. (Also for PC that is).

Ed.   The  Amiga scene has lasted for
many  years  now.   With the death of
the  A500,  do you think the scene as
we now it will continue voyaging into
1994 and perhaps even 1995?

Jsn. The scene will definately conti-
nue its existence through many  years
looking forward...This I say, because
at   this   time,  the  scene  is  so
incredible big, and it would be impo-
ssible for  the whole system  to just
shut down.I think the scene will grow
even more interesting now, after  the
appearance of the AGA-chipset.
(talking about A1200 & A4000).

Ed.   Thank you for your cooperation!
Now you have some space where you can
write  messages to friends, relatives
whatever.
