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

1980 - my 1st BBC Micro

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

At various times owned a BBC, a few 64s, a C128, an Amstrad CPC6128, a couple
of STs, loadsa PCs etc. Most of them still mouldering about somewhere.

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

'Cos I'm a musician :) As it happens, I code as well - did a lot of my own
drivers for PC etc, and I now earn money writing Perl :)

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

Cubase. Always used Steinberg, ever since Pro24 on thge ST.

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

Huh?

Many - for all the usual reasons. Ask Rob Hubbard for the full list :)

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

Extremely important - psychology etc. Well documented in the literature :)

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

Yes - for both purposes. Not for games these days - did a lot of theatre a
while back, and I write for my bands.

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

Ermm - they're formats. Makes no difference....I feel the same about them as
I do about manuscript paper.

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

Waltz in Db, from 'Domino Theory' by Weather Report.
Beethoven 5th Symphony.
'U Can't Hold No Groove' by Victor Wooton.

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

Chris Abbot does it for me :)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

All the same I used to - Jazz funk rock mainly/

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

Money, fame, drugs......but no sex.

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

Nope.

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