Group:

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

I started with Timex2048 (ZX clone) at 1990 and after 2 years I've bought
an Amiga500 computer

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

A1200 030/50 FPU 16MB in Tower
PC Cel2 533@800, G400 DualHEad, Live1024

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

It's simple. I'm musician (heh. in Job working as DTP graphisian :))).
I've allways been musician. ANd I will be, I hope

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

On Amiga - DigiBoosterPro - The best tracker for multichannel music.
On PC - ModPlugTracker for composing and LogicAudio for mastering

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

I'm not finished my job, yet. But I think "Margaret's hymn" could be the one

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

Yess. There are... all old song. Ussually my first composition with missing
technique or whatever.

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

Any art has great value. Question is: Could I buy a bread writing music for
demos only? .

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

Yep. I still strying to sell my music. Sometimes I have luck sometimes not.
The music market is closed area. So, It is not so easy.

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

All electronic media makes spreading of our work easier. But there are
negatives too. Just look around. How much musical trash exists thanks to
these new etchnologies.

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

DOn't know... I still seekeng. I think. I should not to finish looking out for
new artists, new pieces of music. But I can say, I love to Vangelis' and Jarre's
music. And mine, of course ;))))

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

I've done it 18 months ago. It's called Chimera. Now I'm working on next
album "Analogies". It will be pure electronic music. Something for
Jarre-like-music funs

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Sade, Enya, Jarre, Vangelis, Sting. Is it enough?

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

It was my 1st steps in realy music composing. Amiga scene gave me an auditorium.
People who listed my music.

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

Nope.. I think the real scene is going dead. 8bit comps and Amiga makes scene
alive. Nowdays, there is not the same scene like 10 years ago..
Unfortunately

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

I wanna send greetz to anyone who worked on scene.
Thanks to such people a lot of artists had a chance to beeing someone
significant. Someone important.
