Date of birth:

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

When my father bought a TI 99/4A in 1981, I was very quickly addicted to it.

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

TexasInstrument 99/4A: gaming and typing BASIC source code from books.
Amstrad CPC464/6128: gaming, swaping.
Amiga 500-1200: music, coding ASM, demos.
PC: nowadays, music, coding c++, webdev/php...

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

Because i've been involved with music since i was young.

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

Delta, Soundtracker and Protracker on amiga, nowadays i'm working with cubase
and a bunch of VST plugs.

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

Never really had a goal...

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

Most of them, because they were very crappy.

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

A demo is like a videoclip, so i would say it's essential.
For a game it's totally different because the music plays for a while so it
shouldn't be too boring. I'd like to ear more interactive music in games.

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

Yes, i have a project with my best friend under the name "banditos", we have
been releasing a dozen of ep-vinyl, mostly dancefloor and break electronic
music.

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

The music has nothing to do with the format.

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

Those daisy chain mods by Rhesus Minus and some tunes by Bruno, Uncle Tom and
Heatbeat.

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

No, i prefer to release fresher stuff :)

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Too much band names to type, I'm listenig to a lot of electronica, dub, reggae
and hip-hop...

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

My job.

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

Not at all.

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

Big up to my 'melon' friends, monty, gengis and anyone who remembers me!
