Date of birth:

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

In the begining, it was for games. But after that, I discovered all the
capabilities of a computer (about 1987).

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

CPC 6128/Amstrad => games
Amiga 500/Commodore \
> games, music, parnet parties :)
Amiga 1200/Commodore /

PC => lot of godd things

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

That was the only thing I know to do! And because music is life, music
electrify your soul %p

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

I tried Future Composer, but... too strong and very hard to use. But the real
good trackers I used are Noistracker, StarTracker and the incrediiiible
ProTracker!

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

I Don't really know... I'm not a great composer, you know.

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

I assume all my tracks :p

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

The originality, the quality of the samples, the sound effects.

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

No more. But, if there's a useful tracker like ProTracker or an improved
future version of FastTracker, why not?

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

It's cool. Now, with a "little" investment you can produce your own tunes like
a professional (ie, via the net with MP3) and have your home studio...

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

There is so much I like... Nuke's tunes (aka Spaceman), Groo, Jogeir L.,
Heatbeat, Chromag, Audiomonster, Moby, etc... I can't quote some of their
tunes, cause they're all so good!

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

erf! of course... not!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I'm very eclectic. But I have a fancy for ambient/downtempo/lounge music...
You know, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, Portishead, Air,
Alpha etc...

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

I was not really a part of the scene. I just had an external look.

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

Not really.

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

Yes! All the french sceners (active or not), Snes/Playmobile, Dma_Sc, Gryzor...
