Coder-musician of defiance and Lithium, an Apple IIgs veteran who took up tracking seriously the week fasttracker-2 was released. The single source for this page is Gator's TraxWeekly interview of June 1995 (source: s-tw015-interview-claim); no real name is printed.

Facts#

  • 19 in June 1995 (20 on 3 August); claim@ikaros.pei.edu. Wants to write trance; influences karl-*, basehead, early Laite releases, dac, Cosmic of Radical Rhythms.
  • Path: song attempts on an Apple IIgs (an FTA fan who made GS musicdisks); ModEdit and KingMod on the PC; scream-tracker-3 was unusable on his Sound Blaster Pro clone (mono, or stereo "with swapping"); FT2 from its first week — and thanks triton for the effort behind its features.
  • Coder: BASIC from age ten, 65816 assembler, C, x86 assembler from January 1995, "100 % asm"; prospects with Progressive Media and a 3DO studio. Defiance's coder during its mid-1995 rebuild with Cerulean and perisoft; one song for Lithium (main coder Benzel).
  • Made the background tiles of traxweekly's web site (Fractint + DeluxePaint II Enhanced).
  • Opinions: the scene's "FC fixation" ignores the groups doing the work now (future-crew); giving songs away freely is what makes the music scene good (tracker-scene-history).
