what are all the different names you use, on the computer and in the real world
Besides Covox, Sprak usually. In the real world i'm listed as Thomas Söderlund.
why do each of these names fit you
Hm, well, they just feel right. The real world name was not much I could do about, but I like it anyhow.
describe yourself as best you can
I always fall on questions like these. Sorry.
where are you (brief history)
In life? Well, I've just gone back to work after a three month sabbatical. I work as an 'Interactive Designer' (fancy schmancy) at an advertising agency. Pretty funny, because I hate ads. Anyhow, was really good getting away for a while. Did some touring and traveling, spent a lot of time with friends and myself and just relaxing. And things are going good with Covox. I get to travel a lot and meet a lot of great people, so I'm having a fantastic time.
is anyone dependent upon you
I don't know. I would like to think so. But then again, when I do, I don't want to.
do you depend on anyone
See previous answer.
please provide a brief history of your creative activities
Started out doing crap on the Amiga around 1995 I think. Had a small lo-fi equipment rig for a few years but didn't get any pleasure from that way of working, so I got rid of everything and experienced a small creative crisis. Resorted to just doing graphics and design for some time. Then I encountered the Game Boy tracker Little Sound DJ a couple of years ago and totally fell in love. And the rest is history. (always wanted to say that)
do you create more often during day or night
Somehow it's always dark when I do things, but I think that's more akin to the geographical position of Sweden rather than a particular mood.
what is your favorite season
Early fall and late spring.
what is your favorite thing to eat/drink/sleep/dream
I've developed a great weakness for spicy thai. And there's this Zingo flavour with melon and something else that I can't get enough of. Favourite dreams are the ones about the girl I love.
please tell us about your most impressive dream
Zooming through hyperspace and everything being made out of blue glowing vector lines.
what do you think it means
That dreams can be the most awesome ride.
are you tired most of the time
From time to time. But eating properly helps. I feel bad when I'm just wasting time walking about like a zombie, being too tired to do anything.
do you like anyone (friend/family/love/hate)
Of course.
do you like computers, internet, and technology in general
I don't like when technology lack purpose or doesn't give you anything meaningful in return. I totally loathe the gadget mentality, all this 'must have!' self-suggestive behaviour, electronics companies trying to fill people's lives with fake values.
do you get music online or at a shop
Both, actually. But way too seldom.
what is your most common method of transportation
By foot, train and airplane. In that order.
what is the nicest place you've ever been
Difficult question. A lot of places in Tokyo. And Gotland (island on the Swedish east coast) is always beautiful, as well as Trier, Germany.
has anything weird ever happened to you or a friend
Chances for that are high.
have you ever turned into something else
Only once. And I'm not doing it again.
last words
Beep beep.
