Hi W.O.T.W! Could you please tell us something about you and your carrier? |
| W.O.T.W: |
First of all my real name is Elef! i'm 21 years old and I'm no German! About my carrier? I've started 1986 with an MSX, 1987 I bought an c64! I had a cool time with it and I can imagine that I would still had have it if there were not Mr. Gravemreuth!!!! After I was caught I immediately bought an amiga 500! I joined Supplex as a swapper but after their musician left the scene I decided to start composing!! 3 years later I joined Gothic then Dual Crew and now I am a member of The Silents!!! |
| The Jungle: |
What equipment do you use creating great amiga-tunes? |
| W.O.T.W: |
There is no equipment to mention! I own only my Amiga and einen Verstaerker |
| The Jungle: |
Are there any preferred synthies you like best for creating songs? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Sure I would like to have some synthies but I'm spending my money on clothes, friends and parties!! So u see there is no money left to by such equipment! |
| The Jungle: |
What do you think about the charts and chart-cheating? Are charts important for you? |
| W.O.T.W: |
To be honest! First I was really satisfied seeing my name in the charts! But today it doesn't matter if I'm at place 4 or 2 or 100 e.t.c!!! Charts are of course important coz they motivate people doing a good work!!! Cheating Charts are lame coz people who cheat know themselve that they don't deserve it beeing in it!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Aren't you under pressure, because everyone expects new good songs from you? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Why should I be under pressure if I'm doing my work for myself and for my group??? I don't understand such lamers who think that they must do always better songs or anything else!!! It's only a hobby!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Is every attempt to create a song a success? How much ideas do you throw away before the final song is out? |
| W.O.T.W: |
In the past I took my ideas while doing my job as a paperboy!!! I always whistled a melody and when I returned I composed it!! Today it's much more harder to find a good melody or a song!!! I try several times till I finish a new module!!! |
| The Jungle: |
There have been a lot of tekkno muzak disks in the past. What is our opinion about these productions? Just a new fashion or a real trend? |
| W.O.T.W: |
I must say that I hate tekknomods on Amiga!!! It's stupid and a waste of time creating such crap!!! Tekkno is no more a Fashion! it did really become a new Trend!!! |
| The Jungle: |
What comes by the word "Chiptune" to your mind? What makes the special feeling? |
| W.O.T.W: |
They are GREAT!!! I love them! I become famous by doing them!!! They give me a special feeling!!! They remember my old times I had with my C64!!! |
| The Jungle: |
More and more chip-tunes are being used in intros and demos. Shouldn't we better involve other styles of music in the productions to show the real quality of the amiga? |
| W.O.T.W: |
It depends on the people! If they like them Why shouldn't they use Chip tunes!!! Chip music is real computermusic!!!! If someone wants to hear real quality Music then he should buy an Recordplayer e.t.c |
| The Jungle: |
How long does it take you to create a good song on average? |
| W.O.T.W: |
To compose an average Chiptune I need 5 to 10 Minutes!! to compose a superb Tune I need 1 or 2 Weeks, coz I ever find something to improve!!! |
| The Jungle: |
If you have to compose a tune, do you make a real session in front of your amiga with food an coffee or do you just sit there, if you fell like? |
| W.O.T.W: |
OH GOD! of course not!!! I need other things to satisfy myself!! for example big titts, a wet cunt e.t.c!!! I give U an advice!!! Don't waste ya life only because of a stupid machine. |
| The Jungle: |
Is quality really better than quantity? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Of course it is! I have composed since today 73 Chiptunes and 12 released modules!!! I can't say if they are all good but I must say that I did them all in 2 Years!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Where do you get your inspirations from? Do you listen to actual chart-breakers and copy some parts of them or do you get your style from your mind? |
| W.O.T.W: |
I get my inspirations from Pornomovies!!! Hehe, yes I do also copy some parts but only use them in chiptunes!!! I copy parts from old and legendary C64 songs!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Would you sit in front of the computer, if there is no scene? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Today no!!! U don't earn money in the scene!! U only spend a lot of!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Do you work for a software company or would you like to do so? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Yes I'm working for Rainbow Arts!! |
| The Jungle: |
Are you currently playing in a band? |
| W.O.T.W: |
I can't play any instrument! But I could start a new carrier as a GREEK OPERA singer in Greece!!! What do u think about it??? |
| The Jungle: |
Now come to another point of view. The racism has become a big problem in Germany. Isn't the scene the best example for a international playfield? |
| W.O.T.W: |
I can understand the people who are against foreigners!!! The biggest part of them are Eastgermans!!! They are angry about the broken promisses done by our Bundeskanzler KOHLKOPF!!! but I can't under stand why they try to solve them by LIGHTNING poor humans!!! OUR politicians are responsible for these actions against foreigners!! The scene is a positive example for fighting Racism!!! And I can only repeat WE ALL ARE FOREIGNERS!!! |
| The Jungle: |
Last but not least, what do you think of the new AGA-amigas? Will they make it in comparison to the low-cost PC's? |
| W.O.T.W: |
Don't know what AGA-amugas are!!! But I can say that i'll also buy an PC!!! |
| The Jungle: |
