Date of birth:

1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

I started way back when I was twelve years old.
I started on a IBM 286 and Qbasic. Ah, memories.......

2-What machines did you previously have? What did you do with them?

IBM 286 mostly for games and Qbasic.

Amiga 500+ w/HD used mostly for music composing with OctaMed and cellphone
testing.

AST 486/33 PC general system for music and cellphones etc.

3-For what specific reason did you end up making music rather than gfx, coding?

Well, frankly I suck at gfx and coding, but i was born with a ear for music
I can listen to a song and remember the notes... :p

4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?

Qbasic, Octamed Amiga, Madtracker/Fasttracker/Modplug/OctamedPC and who knows
what else...
I use Fasttracker most of the time on the PC, on the Amiga it's only Octamed.

5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal?

Well. Guitar Kinki I composed on the Amiga was the one the one I think.
I'm most pleased with the way everything fit together.

6-Is there a tune you would like not to remember? For what reason?

All the temporary songs I got laying around here, I hate all the unfinished
stuff.

7-In your opinion, what's the value of a music in a demo, game?

A lot, it gives a complelty different experience.

8-At present, are you still composing? For professional or leisure purposes?

I'm still composing, and for myself mostly.

9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?

Qualitywise they are better naturally, but it's harder to please people with
"classic" computer music...

10-Could you tell us some of your all times favourite tunes?

"shinin' ol' boots" no clue who made it, it's either from a game or a demo on
the Amiga. All the stuff by fby (Fabio Barzagli) he rocks!

11-Are you planning to make an audio cd with some of your music remastered?

I already have done such a non-commercial one. No plans on commercial releases.
It's just a hobby :)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Everything except Heavy metal and opera.

13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you?

Inspired me to music and let me express myself thru the music.

14-Are you still active in the scene these days?

No, fraid not.

15-Anyone to greet? Anything left to say? Feel free...

oh yes! ;) i wanna greet Rescator, Mijk, Dj Origo, and all the Amiga
composers out there. keep up the good work guys and girls. :)

That's all.....
