----------------------------------------

hi and welcome to the interview-chapter!
this time we're going to take a closer
look at a certain guy named DOXX who is
a member of the swedish group NOICE.

this is my, bungalow's,first interview
ever and i really hope that you will
like it!
ok, let's start with the interview,then!

? = bungalow

! = doxx

? hello doxx! please tell us some info
  about yourself!

! ah, the standard question... well, my
  handle is doxx,and i'm a member of the
  wellknown swedish group noice.my real
  name is stefan berglind,and i'm 18
  years old.(i will be 19 this winter.)
  my length is 175 cm and my weight is
  about 70 kg.i've got middleblond,short
  hair and green eyes.

? what's your job in noice?

! well,actually i'm an "allround" member
  because i do some coding,swapping,
  modem-trading and mag-editing,but i'm
  mainly a musician.i also do some hard-
  ware work and construction.

? what made you go out and buy your
  first c64?

! a friend of mine had one,so i started
  playing games and making some basic-
  programs.later on(in 1988) i bought
  one myself.first i didn't have a disc-
  drive,but after some months i bought a
  1541.

? who were your first c64 pals and when
  did you enter the scene?

! well,the first group i was in was
  cccp (COOL NAME! ED.),which a local
  friend and me formed.
  later on i contacted some other dudes
  for swapping.this was in 1989-90.my
  first swap-pals were xentrix,arcon and
  nexus.only arcon is still active today
  i think.

? which groups have you been in?

! my first group was cccp and then i
  joined megaunit,in which i stayed for
  almost one year.then i joined gothic
  design,and some months later i also
  joined proxyon,as a second group.in
  november 1993 i got offered to join
  noice,so i left both gothic design and
  proxyon and joined noice instead.

? what do you like most about the c64
  and what do you dislike most?

! what i like most is the usual stuff,
  the friendship,demos etc.the thing i
  dislike most is when some so called
  "elite" guys try to destroy for other,
  not so known,people.

? yeah,i really hate that too!
  are you active on any other computers
  than the c64?

! no,i'm not active on other scenes,but
  i use pc-computer,sometimes.

? have you ever thought about quitting
  the scene?

! well,everybody have had their bad
  times,but i have never thought about
  quitting all my activities,just drop
  some contacts.i've actually dropped
  20 contacts.

? if you had to leave noice for some
  tragic reason,which group would you
  like to join,then?

! well,noice is actually the perfect
  group for me,because i prefer swedish
  groups.if i had to choose another one
  i would probably choose fairlight.
  some foreign groups,which i could
  think of,are spirit,focus and crest.

? if you had the chance to form your own
  group,which members would you pick?

! if i could pick any members i want,it
  would look like this:

  coders:      crossbow,vision,swoffa,
               tts,bob and swallow

  musicians:   pri,cane,syndrom,metal,
               xayne,drax,jeff and me
               of course!


  graphicians: electric,carrion,sander,
               hein holt,rob,creeper,
               joe,ablaze and kring

  this group would probably kick some
  serious butt,eh?

? yeah,i bet!

? what's your future plans? (both c64
  and real life)

! my plans on the c64 are: finish a new
  outfit for our mag(euphoria),release
  some more music-collections,form a
  swedish music-group,sell some of my
  own constructed samplers,finish my
  4-bit dac with sid-mixer and sell it,
  finish and release a program that
  turns the c64 into a good digital
  oscilloscope.on top of this i'm always
  forced to make new versions of my
  proggies and to keep up my swapping-
  activities.

  in real life i'll finish a three-years
  technical education this spring (for
  swedes : teknisk linje,inriktning mot
  el) and i will probably go to the
  university this autumn.later on i'll
  do my military-service.

? gosh,you seem to have lots of things
  to do!

? what will you do if the c64 scene
  dies?

! i would probably buy a pc,but i'm not
  sure if i would like to join the
  scene.

? now for some completely different...
  which quality do you like/hate about
  yourself?

! hehe... well,a positive quality is
  that i'm rather clever,and can easily
  pick up new information.a bad thing is
  that i always start new projects,
  without finishing what i'm doing at
  the moment.(see two questions above!)

? tell us something about you,that
  nobody knows!

! hmm... well,since this is a single-
  sided mag,i can't tell you everything
  you DON'T know.maybe not everybody
  know that i'm rather "allround",and
  that i do almost everything except
  graphics.i also have a fake coder and
  musician in this scene,but i won't
  reveal his name....

? who are your best friends/worse
  enemies in the scene?

! my best friends are these guys/girls:

  ablaze/padua,cyke/megaunit,hype/liquid
  starlight/extacy,merlin/motiv8,
  red devil/fairlight,grimlock/accuracy,
  black widow/gothic and of course all
  noice members.(stasi,devil,mazy,zzap
  etc...) hi to you all!

  i don't have any enemies (at least i
  don't think so!!!),because i think you
  should settle all arguments BEFORE a
  war is started..

? yeah,that's right!

? now this interview has almost come to
  the end,so... have you got any last
  words?

! well,i just want to greet the people
  i mentioned before,and everybody who's
  swapping with me.don't get mad if i'm
  rather inactive on swapping right now,
  but i got lots of other things to
  think of.and to all of you others:
  contact me,if you want to buy any kind
  of samplers (4-8 bit,price about 20dm)
  to plug in your c64,or my 4 bit dac,
  which give you 5-channels full stereo-
  sound! the price would be 10-15dm.
  my addy:

             (doxx of noice)

             XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
             XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
             XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
             XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
