From C64 Diskmag Wiki
about red devil of fairlight
+ handle & group ?
- red devil of fairlight
+ real name ?
- emil helldin
+ birthdate
- 2/6 1976
+ give us a small introduction of your-
self! (age, country, personal facts,
sparetime, other interests and so on)
- i'm 17 years old and i live in sweden.
i have red hair and blue eyes, about
1.78 cm tall and my weight is 70 kg.
my parents are divorced so i live with
my mom and my little sister. i study
in a economy class, but i must admit
that i don't like it at all. when i
i don't sit infront of my computer i
i'm practicing tae kwon-do. sometimes
i play paintball with my friends. it's
a cool thing to do but it's so fucking
expensive. but most of the time i use
my dear commodore 128!
+ how did it all start?
- when commodore released the c-128 back
in 1985, my father bought it at once.
i started to play some games, but
three years later my father sold it
to buy a amiga 2000... the game
playing continued. some more time
passed, and i bought my own amiga 500.
tabasco always complained on me for
having amiga, so in 1991 i sold the
amiga to get my present c-128.
+ when did you enter the scene, and in
which groups have ya been ?
- when i had the amiga 2000 i came in
touch with tabasco/jam (he was called
mac at that time). i joined scu which
consisted of tabasco and another
fellow... we where too lame to do
anything on our own, but we gained
a couple of coders and renamed to jam.
i now realized that the c64 was the
ruling computer, and i recived some
new music editors from exalt/antic.
i now started to compose and i really
liked it! when jam released their
first demo i had made two tunes for it
and i was really proud. i learned more
about composing and before jam
released 'deja vu' i left them to join
the fairlight forces. there where two
reasons for that. one of the coders in
jam called tjost never used my music
and i always had thought that flt was
a really cool group. almost the same
day i saw an advertisement in a
disk magazine (where else?) that flt
needed musicians. so, i sent some
tunes to bacchus and he told me that
i could join.
+ what is your memberstatus and job in
your current group ?
- according to bacchus:
aaron........swapper,supplier,lazy ass

+ how did you get your handle ?
please tell us the story!
- on one of my summer holidays i was on
a boat... the sun was shining very
hard, and my whole body got sunburned.
i was red all over the body and i had
a terrible pain. i have red hair and
now also my skin was red. tabasco
called me "din r0de jevul" and if you
translate that to english that will
be RED DEVIL!
+ i like that! my girl alsohave red hair

lish "red beast"!!!

'elite contra lame' thing ?

- i think that almost every group on the
c64 is elite. some people think that
they are so much more elite than
others, and i hate it.
+ about your contacts
-------------------
+ do ya have a lot of contacts ?
(how many - name a few.)
- i have 31 contacts at the moment and
i don't wan't to have more! it takes
too much time to swap and i like to
do some more music! ok. here you
have a few: acidchild, avalanche,
the syndrom, slide, poeba, robocop,
sleepwalker, doxx & franky plus some
other cool guys.
+ do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
or mayby both from your contacts.
- i prefer legal, but illegal is okey
too.
+ do you use cheated stamps ?
- yep...
+ why ?
- it costs to much. i'm still going to
school, tell me one person who has
been rich on that...
+ about demos : do ya like 'em ?
is there to many or to few ?
- of course i like them! that's why we
still have a scene on this computer.
i think that it's to few of them and
it would be cooler if there where
some more demo releases between the
party's!
+ and the same for mags ?
- magazines are good. every group
should have one. there is only one
situation when i hate magazines and
that's when i have a votesheet infront
of me and there's 74 categories to
vote for!
+ if you had the opportunity to build up
a new group - which persons would you
like to join ?
- bacchus, tron, ogami, oxidy,
jeroen tel, tabasco, biz kid(yep) and
black priest.
brainstorm!

- i wonder why there's so many empty
lines here??? ok, i really like it!
+ ok we are close to the end now.
so now you got the opportunity to say
what's on your mind.
the word is free !
- ok, i will write some words about the
scene. the c-64 has two paintprg that
almost everyone use. there's amica
and fli-graph. every graphician
competes on the same basis. also the
coders competes on the same basis (if
you not code in basic, hehe). but
there is a very high amount of music
editors and almost every good editor
is not spreaded. some musicians can
make their tune 10 speeded now and get
real cool instruments. i don't mean
that you must spread your own coded
editor but i want you to think about
this. strange!
at copy-party's alot of guys competes
with their contribution. but read this
and think about it: you cant contribut
with a digi piccy. there is rules
against that. but evidently you are
allowed to contribute with digi tunes
(like tcc'93). that's wrong...
+ yeah emil i think you are damn right!
i myself find it wrong to compete with
digis. and about music; again you are
right some people doesn't have the op-
portunity to compete at the same level
because of the editors. but i guess
that's life!!
is there some guys ya wanna greet or
tell something then better do it now .
- i have already done that.
+ allright dude.that's it.
we reached the end of this interview.
i want to thanx you a lot for taking
the time to help me with this.
thanx a lot homie !!!!
- my pleasure... cu l8er folks!
----------------------------------------
allright ya'll. try to choose the music
made by red devil himself. the only way
to get the real deal!!
