Interview with 4-Mat

Today is the 4th of March 1991 and I suddenly decided to make a mini-interview with the world's best musician... Well, of course this is nobody else but 4-MAT/Anarchy...

But first a little messy to 4-MAT: Hello Matthew! Sorry that you had to repeat many things a dozen times during the interview, but my English is not so good. And another bad excuse is, that it is very hard (but funny!) to make an interview, while on the left side there's standing the guy, from whose house you are calling from, looking on a little watch and making mysterious noices like: "Urghh, Aechz... Hurry up!... Oh, no my phone-bill!...". Ok, enough shit-talk. Let's start with the interview now: Dial... Ring, Ring... Klick...


	

		
4-mat:
		
Hello.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Hello! Can I speak to Matthew?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Speaking!
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Oh, hello Matthew! I'm a (very) fanatic 4-MAT-fan from Germany. Can I steal a bit of yer time by making an interview with you and release it in the HACK-MAG?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Yes, ok.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Yo, cool! So let's start with the questions... How old are you?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
At the moment I'm still 16, but I will become 17 soon.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
When will ya become 17?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
On the 15th March 1991.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
How long do ya have your AMIGA?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
About 3 years.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Ok, how long do you need for one of your cool songs?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Well, it depends on how complicated the song is.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
How long did you for example need to compose the nice song "Forests"?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Ehrm, it was 2 days.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Do you swap with some guyz?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
No, not really, because I have too less time for swapping.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
How many members does Anarchy have (worldwide)?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
About 40 I think.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Do ya code a bit?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
On the C-64 I coded a game.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
A PD-game?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
No, a commercial game.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Can you tell me some details about RSI, RSI-theme...?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
I was a bit fed up with Anarchy and because Red Sector & Tristar also cracks, I thought about joining this crew, but of course I'm still in Anarchy.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
What are your favourite AMIGA-musicians?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Timm Wright, Walkman (Cryptoburners), Maniacs of Noise & Uncle Tom (Scoopex)
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
And what do ya think about your own muzax?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
I don't like my own stuff very much.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
What?? You must be VERY silly if you don't like your own cool stuff!
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Well, everybody likes a different kind of music and I only like a few of my sounds.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
What do ya think, what's your best music that you ever made?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
I think the tune from the game "Shockwave".
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
What's your favourite disc-mag?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
ZINE. But I don't read so much disc-mags (no time!).
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Do you play an instrument?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Yeah! I play piano, guitar and bassguitar.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Did ya ever make a music in proggys like "Startrekker" or "Oktalyzer" with 8 voices?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
No.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Ok, 4-MAT! Anything else to say?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Yes, Anarchy will soon release another music-disc!
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
When will it be released?
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Perhaps at the end of March.
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Yo, Matthew! I don't know what to ask now. So that's it... (at this time the guy next to me with the watch nearly got a nervous-breakdown (phonebill!))
	
	

		
4-mat:
		
Ok, thanks a lot. (why did YOU thank ME, Matthew???)
	
	

		
Hack-Mag:
		
Thanks, too. See ya soon (?).
