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

  • I got interested in computers via video games, that was around about 1987.


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


  • - one Amstrad Cpc 6128, which i sold.

    - one Amiga 500" which is still in my possession ;)

    - one Atari 520 St, which unfortunately ended up in the garbage bin, even
    though it was new ! :( aarrgg!.


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


  • I already played a musical instrument, the Amiga took over from there on.


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

  • I started on Sonix Aegis, then i passed into Protracker and i'm still using it.


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

  • The " Offencyt " module was of great significance to me. It was my first module
    to be used in an intro.


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

  • hum ... none. Really, I can't see.


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

  • Demos and video games are artistic musical creations which are just as
    important as any other. They should be respected in just the same way.


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

  • I'm still composing and for different aims. I do it for pleasure and also with
    a professional slant (records, film scores).


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

  • Every format has it's own advantages, and it's interesting to have so many at
    hand. All you have to do is use them properly.


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

  • Without hesitation : Enigma, Occ-san-geen, KnullaKuk, Soul Free, Unreal_Dragon,
    Purple Shades, Behind The Walls, Visual Distortion, Trabalash, Beat To The Pulp.


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

  • Yes, it's a very interesting project. I would rather have one of my tunes in
    a compilation including several artists.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Infected Mushroom, Enya, Bronski Beat...


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

  • The Amiga Scene has greatly contributed to my musical creativity and mainly it
    has made me want to get a lot of projects underway.


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

  • I always try to remain active on the scene, at my own rythm.


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

  • I would like to thank all those who give their energy to preserving scene
    continuity and I'd like to say hello to Clawz (who knew me with my other
    nickname : Skiller) we were in contact at the time, there you are, that's all.
